I know this a relatively old thread, and I'm not sure the original poster has been on for a while BT I have a question ofr any geeks who know about SEO

I am edited my cms website through Wordpress.

I am editing a page

At the top I can edit the page title - this actually changes what appears on the website.

In the SEO section at the bottom I can add a SEO title which automatically sets it as the page title at the top, unless you change it. Now when I change the SEO title it doesn't actually appear like that on my website for example in page I have Welcome to Belle Vie Beauty and the SEO title is Belle Vie Beauty Salon in Burnham On Sea. I like it that was as I don't want to potential clients to keep seeing burnham on sea in the page titles.

But I was wondering if this is the correct way to be SEO'd?

I love Wordpress as you can check how the SEO is and it tells you ways to improve the SEO. But I can't find ways to achieve some of the points without repeating the same thing over and over, and I don't want clients thinking that I am repetitive lol

Hiya,

Regarding your question your far better having various search terms in your SEO/title tag. No one will read it most the time anyway.

That's how ours is and after 3 months hard work we are number 3 for "banner printing" in google that gets couple hundred hits a day - I am happy to say the least.

What optimiser is that? I will check it out when get on my mac tomorrow. Thing is, against popular belief on site work is only 25% the battle.

Its through vista print.

Thanks

You can't do much with vista print.

If you read back through this thread. You'll get a lot of tips on what you need to do to help you onsite SEO. But lots of it can't be done in a website builder like vistaprint.

I had a content management site designed for me. Cost a few £100 and then a monthly hosting fee. But I really can do anything with if now!

Here's my website www.belle-vie-beauty.co.uk

I'm in the middle of adding more content and using Wordpress' SEO tool.

Hi, Geeks!
I've just published my website that I've made on weebly.
I've put all the meta key words that I wanted but google still doesn't show it in search results.
Does it take time or I need to do something else to be found, perfectly on first page of results? I'm based in a small town and there's no competition here so I should be found first anyway! (i.ex. when you search for 'nail technician, name of town').
I'm a website newbie, forgive me sounding thick

Have you read this while thread?

I think it says somewhere about the length if time for Google tomato changes.

Also there is a lot more than just tags and keywords to get you at the top if google. You need content updated regularly, page titles written correctly.

To me its a minefield and I learn every time I do something but it is hard work.

Jemima is correct.
You have to manually submit your website to google as a general rule. This can take up to 4 weeks to index.

Once it's in google then it's a battle to the top. As you said there is no competition I would say you need to do title tags, meta tags, meta description, correctly written 30% rich keyword content.

Also this still takes time. If you haven't done so already buy a domain name. Don't use the .wix.com or whatever it is domains. I think these don't look great to potential clients or google.

Thanks for replies even though I have no bloody clue what you guys talking about (I know 'meta tags' though! lol)
I think I need to go through this thread from the start and then do some more research to make a decision if it's worth it at all as it seems to be time consuming. Hopefully FB will do the job (somehow I have more clicks on my page then 'likes' on FB :suprised: )

On page SEO is only half the battle and I wouldn't imagine moon fruit is the best platform for a site in regards to SEO.

How much should you expect to pay for someone to do SEO work for you? I have someone that is able to have a tinker for me but they are super busy so thinking I should pay someone to do it for me. My website was done through weebly.
