On Page Grader Help
-
Hi There
I am going through the process of using the on page grader and optimising lots of pages, it seems that the difference between getting an F and A grade is simply the title having those keywords however there are keywords that I want to grade well for without stuffing the Title tag with loads of different keywords.
Would you say the on page grader is reliable given this and if not could it be optimised to consider the other factors rather then just displaying a tick to say these factors have been considered and achieved.
-
I'm interested to know the answer to this also, but I think it depends on the keyword, as the page is graded relatively.

Hi Everyone
Firstly thank you for all your answers and ideas, what I am really asking though is why does the on page grader not update it's grades based on the other factors, other then the title tag. i.e. I can have the keyword 'burger' in H1 tags, the URL, ALT attributes, in the body text a couple times and in the meta section of the site and receive an F grade from the on page grader, but as soon as I add the word 'burger' to the title I receive an A grade. Is there a reason why the only factor that has that influence is the title tag, and why is it that a keyword for a page cant get say a B or C grade if it has the other factors covered (i.e. they have a tick next to them) but not the title tag?
Cheers Again

Hi,
Please remember that the Page Grader is just a tool that looks at specific aspects on the page, but won't go past that.
For example, once you have your key word in the likes of the title, URL and H1, it looks like it might be ready to start ranking, but there is so much more that you need to do to the page.
First of all, it MUST make sense. There is no point in writing for Google as it will just sound spammy and the net result will result in a lack of placement in the SERPs or poor conversion rates.
You absolutely must do some keyword research. You want to explain to Google what the page is about so it should be very comprehensive and carry certain other related phrases that help explain the product / service. However... Don't go so far that the page suddenly becomes a long and tedious read.
Keep it concise, keep it factual, keep it interesting.

Hi Alick,
So with the most important keyword, would you only use in the meta title, and not bother using in other areas because the meta title in a sense 'overrides' all the others? (ie is it overkill to use the your main keyword in more than the title tag?) I guess it depends on what the keyword is your trying to rank for?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm completely agree with you that if keyword is not present in meta title on page grader tool gives lower grade because it is the most important place to use keyword in on page SEO.
It is not possible to place all the keywords in meta title so we place only important keyword in meta title and it is also not possible to get grade 'A' keyword for each keyword so IMO place important keyword in meta title and use rest of keywords in web page content, H1 tag and in backlink anchor text.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Why is the Moz tool bar page analysis saying my website is from Romania when we are in the United States?
So when I go to my client's website, https://www.paracore.com/ and on the home page, I use the Moz toolbar. From there I then use the "Page Analysis." If you look at the "URL" line there is a Romanian flag next to the site name. Then I scroll down within the page analysis and the "Country" line says Romania. This is a WordPress site, and the company is based in Arizona. Can anyone explain to me if this is code that I can find and change or remove? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anyway to track on-page grader grades for a site?
As opposed to going through the process of inputting the urls and keywords every couple of weeks, is there a way of Moz to send the scores for those keywords and the domain to which the url belongs?

How Does the On-Page Grader Know about my Target Keyword? Or how can I tell it?
So we've optimized a home page for a particular keyword, "blue widgets tx". But the on-page grader is giving information about "tx blue widgets", "blue widgets in texas", etc. and telling us we are an "F" for these keywords. Is it possible to tell the on-page grader, "Hey, just worry about 'blue widgets tx', and forget about those other ones"? I know I can do it by hand, but it will take forever.
