B2b services site, deep long tail services or flat and broad
-
Hi all,
i have a small internet agency with services in several area's.
Currently i structud my services in 2 different area's.
General services and specialized products with services underneath.like so:
domain.com/services
domain.com/services/service1
domain.com/services/service2
and so on.domain.com/product
domain.com/product/service1
domain.com/product/service2domain.com/product2
domain.com/product2/service1
domain.com/product2/service2But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services.But is it smarter to make just a few big pages with the services more bundled.
Or really long tail.Now i have around 15 services pages.
when i make it a lot deeper im talking about 40 pages.Currently my complete website is around 35 pages.

If you create those pages individually then to me it would seem that magento is not responsive or custom and responsive is not custom or magento.
To me it clearly seems that it's just sections of one page and that's how i'd recommend to do it.
-
Maybe to clarify a few things. For example
i have a service
Webshop developmentbut i also want to target on
Magento webshop development
Responsive webshop development
Custom webshop developmentSo yeah they are very similar, but all have a very specific end-goal.
When i have those words on h2, h3 element on the site with around 200 words about it beneath that i notice that im not ranking nearly enough then when creating all separate pages.But im afraid i will go overboard, of course the user still needs to find it value-able

Hi.
But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services.Is it truly gonna be unique? Or unique will mean has words' order is changed and city names gonna be different? It's all about user experience nowadays, my friend. Everything has to make sense.
Here is a whiteboard friday you can refer to: https://moz.com/blog/pinpoint-vs-floodlight-content-and-keyword-research-strategies-whiteboard-friday
Basically, don't create extra pages just for extra pages. If every page has something unique to offer - go ahead. Also think about if those "unique services" are actually main services. If you have some kinda product which brings 0.5% of your revenue and is supportive service, then why even waste time on trying to rank for it and dilute the "theme" of the website.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I think in this instance you will have to do a ROI investigation into your site and determine whether ranking for your long-tail keywords will generate the same kinds of conversions and income that ranking generally will.
For example, you obviously know long-tails are easier to rank for while generals have more potential traffic. If you can rank for your big keywords, you stand to bring more people to your site. That being said, are they equally likely to convert?
The big factor here is to determine what keywords suggest the greatest customer interest in purchase, and using those as your targeted keywords. If you can bring in big numbers of highly-targeted customers, that is ideal, but chances are that isn't the case. Given these are b2b services, you are probably less concerned with rankings and more concerned with marketing to clients through other means, so general keywords might be the way to go (unless your clients are very niche-specific).
I would try to find the happy middle-zone of numbers and high-payment potential.
Best of luck moving forward!

Better modern-day-alternative to B2B email newsletter?
Hello! I'm looking for a cool solution to a seemingly outdated concept and hope you can help. Here's the situation... Our sales team would like to develop a new email newsletter that can be sent to prospects and clients quarterly. From my perspective, I would rather see them develop content for our website than for an email newsletter (which will disappear into the abyss). Does anyone have an example of something that's a collection of facts, news, tidbits, etc., packaged for a website article as opposed to an email newsletter? I know I've seen people mention "daily digest" or "weekly digest" that are promoted via personalized emails or on twitter and the like, but can't find an example now. Once this content-rich feature is developed for our website, the sales person could then draft a personalized message to either a prospect or client and tell them about it. Much more personal than an impersonal email newsletter. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Erik

Network of small sites or one large site
Hi there, I am taking a group of mums through how to set up a blog and how to build up traffic to that blog. Should I suggest that we all blog on the same domain so www.dsdsds.com/myblogname or get them to set up their own domains. My aim is for everyone to support each other, share and link content so would it be more powerful if they were all on different domains or on the same one? Would love some insight as it is something I just can not get my head around this part. Thank you so very very much 🙂

If we use content copied from another site ( assuming we have not plagerized), does it hurt our Google Rankings?
We have permission from another company to copy their content and use it on our site. This happens when we are describing a manufacturer's product and we copy pages from their site and add these pages to our site in order to describe the product we are selling. Is this considered duplicate content? Can this practice hurt us?

Blog for SEO: embedded in the site or separate
Hello, For both ecommerce and sites that sell services, I've seen a lot of people recommending a blog for SEO. Should this blog be inside or separate from the main website for the most results? I can see how adding one to a site would create more unique content and an opportunity for link bait, but perhaps there is a reason to have a blog separate from the main site Thank you.

Index pdf files but redirecto to site
Hi, One of our clients has tons of PDFs (manuals, etc.) and frequently gets good rankings for the direct PDF link. While we're happy about the PDFs attracting users' attention, we'd like to redirect them to the site where the original PDF link is published and avoid that people open the pdf directly. In short, we'd like to index the PDFs, but show to users the pdf link within a site - how should we proceed to do that? Thanks, GM
