On site issues after Magento 2 launch
-
We did a new site launch on Feb 7th this year - www.vesternet.com
It changed from Magento 1 to Magento 2. We had some launch issues around SEO but now we've solved most every crawler issue in Moz reporting - according to Moz we're in better shape on-site than ever.
But our organic search is just dropping daily - we expected a drop after launch then back to normal, but over 2 months on something just isn't right.
A good example, on Google UK for keyword 'home automation' we've always been about position 10, but now we're out the top 50...
Forget about off site for now - what's wrong with our site itself to have caused this?
Can anyone help with insights please as this is killing our sales

Hi,
We're dealing with the same problem after our Magento migration. Did you find out what caused the organic drop?
Looking forward to hear from you

Hi dbsmtec,
It'll be tough for anyone to tell you without auditing your particular website what's likely up here.
If you have seen a gradual drop, there could be a confounding factor afoot - UX issues, for example, are often behind otherwise unexplained organic traffic trends. Page speed is sometimes an issue with Magento - was there any negative impact on performance in the upgrade?
If the drop has been site-wide and gradual, I'd suspect it's something related to UX/user interactions that is causing the drop. If it was sudden, it's more likely (but not necessarily) a technical issue. Looking at traffic across page types can sometimes help narrow your scope.
Again, it's tough to say without looking at your particular site and performance data, and even then, I'm afraid, the answer may prove elusive.
Best of Luck,
Mike -
It may be that the migration has not been done correctly. Magneto took out a pdf with instructions for successful migration. Have you done this or have you used another manual?
I leave the link with the pdf. I hope I've helped.

Hreflang - Is it needed even if the site is only one language
This topic came up in a discussion I had with a fellow SEO colleague, I don't believe it makes sense to have Hreflang if you don't have a second language but according to my friend they mentioned that it is great if your only targeting one country. Any opinions out in the Moz community? It seems like overkill to me

Issues with Multiple H1 tags on homepage?
Hi folks, My homepage has 3 identical H1 tags due to the fact that I have had to create individual hero images (with headings) for desktop, tablet and mobile. I couldn't get my theme to display the layout in exactly the way I wanted on each device without doing a specific hero image and tag for each device type. Does this have a major impact on my SEO? Thanks,

On Site Question: Duplicate H2...
Hi All A few on-site audit tools pull information on duplicate H2 tags on pages. This implies it's a bad thing and should be fixed - is that the case? On one of my sites the tag-line is in H2 in the header, so appears on every page... Just wondering if this is something worth fixing. Thanks

Why does Google pick a low priority page on my site?
Hi Guys. One of my pages ranks quite well for "mid year diaries 14-15" on Google. The problem is it's a really specific product page (A4, Hardback, day-to-a-page diary I think). It would be much better for the user to land on our mid-year diaries category, not really deep into the site. Why is Google prioritizing this product page over our general 'mid year diaries' category? Especially when the category would relate to the search more accurately? I work for TOAD diaries and I think our page rank is 10 for this search. Eagerly awaiting some insight 🙂 Thanks in advance everyone! Isaac.
