WIX - problem with On-Page Optimization picking up SEO
-
Hi,
I'm new to here so please be gentle!
I have a WIX site and had it for a few months. I have m own domain sportinglists.com and I am using MOZ to improve the SEO. Having read a few things it seems that I may struggle, given that I have a WIX site.I am playing around with a certain page, that will most likely be the most popular one on the site (fingers crossed), however when I run On-Page Optimization it fails to pick up the following things that I know I have added to the page;
H1 (page title) - I added through the text options
Body text - I added paragraph text and
Image Alt - put in through the settingsIs this because that it is made in WIX that this won't be picked up or is more likely my incompetency?
Thanks

There's no automated way to use Fetch and Render for a word count, it's just a visual representation you'd have to estimate for yourself. (Not really sure there's much use to that kind of counting in most cases anyway.)
Screaming Frog does a decent job of crawling and imitating the crawler if set to imitate Googlebot with JavaScript rendering.

I'm curious about this idea.
On Fetch as Google, where do you look to see how many characters or words Google is reading on your page?asking for quitostreettours.com
Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I'll have a look at these and get back to you

Easiest way to check definitively is to go to the source. Use the Fetch as Google tool in Google Search Console to have a look at what Google sees on your page.

Actually with Screaming Frog, I can see your H1 tags [www.perfectchaosfilms.com] so it appears not to be a problem with all Wix sites.
I an able to see your different H1s, including "Austin corporate video production company" for the homepage.

I experienced the same thing, specifically my heading tags were not showing up in the audit tools I was using. I called Wix support and they told me since their platform is different than other services (Wordpress, etc) that some things wouldn't show up on those kind of 3rd party tools. But they assured me it was all being seen by Google's spiders. So you can take that for what it's worth.
You can take a look at mine for yourself. My site is www.perfectchaosfilms.com and my H1 tag is "Austin corporate video production company." Report tools aren't seeing it but Wix claims Google is.

I don't know WIX websites (though from the quick search I did, it does look like you have your work cut out for you) but I took a look at your site with the Screaming Frog SEO spider.
The crawl picks up a total of 14 pages and the H1s are all the same. (There are also secondary H1s that are mostly the same.) It doesn't pick up the images, although of course I can see that there are images.So I agree with your conclusion that you might have a bit of a struggle. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful--maybe there are some WIX users out there who can share how they overcame these issues.

Home Page Location Redirect
We have recently upgraded our Wordpress site to detect your local city and redirect to the proper location. Previously we had independent sites - for example, http://atlanta.styleblueprint.com is now http://styleblueprint.com/atlanta We've setup 301 redirects on all of the old site home pages. Now we have two issues: Moz will no longer crawl our domain. For two weeks now our campaign shows only four pages crawled None of our home pages show up in Google any longer for organic searches. We previously always ranked #1 for "styleblueprint" or "style blueprint" Does our new auto redirect mess things up? Or is this just a function of time until Google "learns" how to index our new site? All thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jay

Sitewide links causing problem
Hello, I've had a couple of people look at the backlink profile for nlpca(dot)com and tell me that there were a lot of sitewide links with non-branded anchor text. The spreadsheet is [here](http://thewealthymind.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/anchor-text.xls). Actually, because of our company name, all sitewide links have branded anchor text except for http://www.iepdoc.nl

http://www.ionut-ciurea.com The term "NLP" is not ranking for us, we should be on page 1 or 2. Also, we used to be sitelinked for "NLP California" and aren't anymore. Notice that "nlpca" splits into "nlp" and "ca" for California. Could you look and see if it is just those 2 sites and if all we need to do is contact them to change to branded anchor text. Or if it's something else to get back our rankings for "NLP" and our sitelinks for "NLP California" Thank you0 -
Concerned About Individual Pages
Okay. I've setup a campaign for www.site.com and given a list of keywords. So after the initial crawl we'll have some results. What I'm looking for tho is how do individual pages on my site rank for the list of keywords given. And then be able to go to a screen in seomoz with data for that particular page with recommendations and stuff like that. Is this what's going to happen or do I need to create a campaign for each url i want to track? If all will work as I'd like in the example above, should I then add the second list of keywords that some other pages should rank for? Will it get to be a big mess or can I relate the keywords to pages in some way? It seems like what I'm looking for is what this program should be... Thanks!

Sorting Dupe Content Pages
Hi, I'm no excel pro, and I'm having a bit of a challenge interpreting the Crawl Diagnostics export .csv file. I'd like to see at a glance which of my pages (and I have many) are the worst offenders for dupe content – ie. which have the most "Other URLs" associated with them. Thanks, would appreciate any advice on how other people are using this data, and/or how 'Moz recommends to do it. 🙂
