How to rank a transactional query
-
I have a webpage about bike tours in France with a list of bike tours in France. I imagaine people don't want a big paragraph about what a bike tour in France is because this is a transactional query and not an informational query.
How do I go about ranking this page ?
Would a good title tag and good description be enough to rank that page ?
Thank you,

Well a topic sentence with a supporting sentence is a format. You might be able to demonstrate some value proposition through that format. In a way what you're asking is similar to "what is the difference between winning a race, and a high performance rally car?"
A high performance rally car could be a vehicle (format / medium) through which you deliver race results. But if you used the rally car in an F1 race, it probably wouldn't win (horses for courses)
A value proposition is something about your business which you get clearly across in a cited, qualified manner. Could you do that through a topic sentence with a supporting sentence? Maybe - it depends upon the USP which you are promoting. For example if you are trying to get across your great reviews, then obviously sentences are a bad vehicle whereas TrustPilot embedded reviews (unbiased, from a 3rd party which you cannot manipulate) would be a much better vehicle
One is a format for delivering information, the other is the type of qualified, un-biased and 'proven' information which you are supplying
If your site's value-proposition was a uniquely designed and developed calculator to deliver information to users (which your competitors couldn't deliver) then again sentences of text would be a bad vehicle. A custom designed and developed calculator would be a good vehicle
Look at how sites like Money Supermarket, Confused and Compare the Market got ahead. Their unique aggregation systems ARE their value propositions. Could they have been created using just sentences of text? No

Thank you for the detailed reply. I will start working on my value proposition and move on from there.
By the way what is the difference between a value proposition a topic sentence with a supporting sentence ?

A value proposition isn't a tag or a technical thing, it's part of the idea of the website. Miley outlines it pretty well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AmRg3p79pM - though you only need to watch up to the point where she fully covers "Issue #1"
Your value proposition is for your business and should be reflected on your website. It can take the form of a website that is better and easier to use than all the competitors sites due to unique feature/UX integration (e.g: a calculator that assesses the breakdown of terrain on a tour, 10% mountainous 50% urban 40% forest - or something like that, and then maybe does something cool like recommends an actual bike, or supplies for the run, or both)
A value proposition can also take the form of simple USPs (e.g: better service than the competitors, better reviews from Trust Pilot, faster delivery, the lowest prices, covering a wider area, better staff expertise and local knowledge). If you go with USP-based value propositions, qualify them (saying "I'm the best!" isn't usually enough)
If the query space sucks, think what you can do to leave everyone else in the dirt and make it better. Think of some 10x content pieces
Remember: "good unique content" is rarely ever good enough to rank competitively. You have to go next level

Is a great title tag the same as a great value proposition ? I have a hard time figuring out what a good one would be because in my industry everyone is terrible ... Either they have synonyms : Bike tours in France / Cycling vacations in France or they use words like Best Bike tours in France but honestly this doesn't want to make me click at all (but they still rank). Is it because they have a value proposition which isn't in their title tag but somewhere else on the page ?
If I come up with a good title that make people want to click, is google going to boost me even though this isn't something that people have in their head when the do a search for "bike tours France " ?
Concerning the content, all of us doing bike tours in France have the same thing, a list of different tours by destination. It is very hard to differentiate myself on this. Is I had something that nobody has on their page can it help me ? or to help me does it need to be something people have in their head or are looking for ?
Thank you,

You need to do a few things.
- Write a great title tag but test variations over time to see which one gives you the best rankings and CTR.
- Add great content to this page. Something that will keep visitors on this page when they get there.
- Create other blog posts on your site that will attract links and then internally link over to your "bike tours in France" page.
- Build a handful of good inbound links to this landing page.

Why have my rankings dropped?
I have a client who has just seen his average page rank creep up from around 39 to 34 over about two months, then it appears to have dropped back to position 40+ in the space of a week. I believe he's made a lot of changes to targeted keywords, so I'd like to think it's simply because his old targeted keywords are dropping and new keywords still have to build their rankings. But I'm also worried in case he has over-optimised and might get getting penalised. Any advice on where to start digging?

Completely inaccurate rank tracking data
So Moz, Rank Ranger and data from Search Console all show this domain to be position #1 on Google for a certain search term. However, we can't see the same in manual search (desktop, mobile, incognito, &pws=0, different IPs, phone a friend and so on) and Analytics is showing no organic traffic. We can't even find the website in the top 10 pages. ANY IDEAS? Thanks in advance.

Profound Rankings Drop - But only on Branded query
Hi all. I apologize for any redundancy in advance. I've seen similar queries about branded search but nothing that quite resembles mine. First of all, my site is Withdrawal-ease.com In the last few weeks, I've seen a significant drop in ranking for specific pages on my site that normally rank well in a brand search. I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on. So I looked at a bunch of queries for branded terms and it looks like I've been penalized...but I haven't For instance, when I google "Withdrawal Ease" I would typically see my home page first and then 3-4 of my most popular pages/posts directly underneath in the organic listings. Some of those popular pages include: http://withdrawal-ease.com/proven-home-remedies-for-opiate-withdrawal/ http://withdrawal-ease.com/how-to-detox-from-opiates-at-home/ http://withdrawal-ease.com/how-to-detox-from-suboxone-at-home/ Although the titles are similar, the content is all original and comprehensive...it's good content that has always ranked very well...and still does. But as of Late March they don't show up for branded searches. Now, when I google "Withdrawal Ease" I only get my home page listed and the other pages have all fallen to #60 according to Moz, WMT etc. What is strange is the fact that these popular pages still rank highly for my key terms and relevant searches. I have not noticed any significant drops other than when I do a branded search. I have added a picture from WMT as an example. The image displays a search from my brand name and my most popular page that would typically have ranked #2 below my homepage. As you can see. the impressions and clicks fall, then jump and then totally disappear for my branded query. Looking at the chart, one might observe that the mobile update seems to roughly correspond to the rankings drop but we've been very diligent about being mobile friendly and all of the checks for mobile friendliness pass with flying colors. I've looked at Robot TXT files and everything is fine there...all of our diagnostic tests have turned up nada as far as I can tell. Again, I have not been informed of any manual penalty and my backlink profile is not raising any alarms on Moz; I get a 1 on the spam score. We do not actively seek out links because I DID have a manual penalty in 2010 due to a horrible experience with an SEO firm. It took me over a year and 15k to clear out all of the spammy links that this guy got and I was finally cleared of the penalty in 2013. So I'm totally flummoxed. My organic search is now down significantly across ALL browsers...but again, just for branded searches. I have also attached an image of my crawl stats just in case this may shed any light. Thank you all so much for any help that you can provide; it's been extremely stressful and frustrating so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Whoa.jpg crawl%20stats.jpg

Ranking problems
Hi All My site is live for a year now. I;m getting tons of traffic (alexa 54k) and business are good. The only problem is that I have 0 page rank....I have checked again and again the site;s structure to see if there is anything wrong with the site but everything seems to be ok. Google just added search links to the site (megamoneygames) which looks very nice. For example, none of my competitors have search links but they all have page rank of 4 while I have 0. In addition, for some reason the site's age (days) shows 0 although it is live for a year now... Do you have any idea of what is going on? do I have errors in the site? Thanks
