Hi Handsam,

I can see you are using Godaddy's website builder thingy.

Is there not an option anywhere for: Page Name, Page Titles, Site Name etc?
 
Hi SEO, Just want to say another big thank you. I have made all the ammendments so fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge:biggrin:

Thank You SEO I have had a look and gone into page titles and changed the file name and the browser title but i'm not sure that has done it?

It probably has, but it's not showing as changed because of your cache. Try clearing your cache if you know how.

It's showing as "Misbourne Beauty" for me.
 
Thank You again SEO I have cleared cache and it is now showing as my name and underneath Misbourne Beauty Strange?

Again, make sure your page titles are more relevant.

Change them to:

Hair Extensions and Spray Tan Kingswinford | All Dolled Up

Hair Extensions and Spray Tan Kingswinford | Gallery

Hair Extensions and Spray Tan Kingswinford | Price list

etc etc.

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU!!

Since changing all my keywords so that they reflect each page of my website/treatment menu I've started showing up on Google for treatments that previously hadn't been showing up at all.

So thanks for the heads up. :D

Really glad to hear that :D

I am extremely stacked at the moment but I promise I will take a look at everyone's site when I have a spare moment!!

Thanks for your patience! If you are wanting a hand be sure to go through the pages and make sure to read previous posts. The most common problem is page titles, which are hands down the most important onsite SEO ranking factor, and I've posted about them alot already!!

Cheers

Right, I'm just gonna collate the last few requests into one post. I am just writing stuff as it comes into my head so apologies for that.

RootyToots Beauty & Holistic Specialist Calgel, Gelish, Neal's Yard in Essex - RootyToots, Holistic, Beauty & Nails in Essex :

Your titles are good, for example you've named the Gelish page "Gelish Nail Treatments in Essex" which is perfect, as thats what people will such for. However 90% of your titles are over 70 characters so just bare in mind that they will be cut off in Google search results page. Try condense them where possible. Try and drop some keywords into your meta description without it reading funny or appearing spammy, remember to keep the meta description under 156 characters for the same reason as the title.

Also, make sure all your images have "alt" tags. For example if you have a picture of Gelish Nails, set the alt desciption to "Gelish Nails in Essex" or something similar. Alt tabs basically tell the search engines what the image is, and can improve rankings as well as gain traffic from google image searches. Not sure if it's possible to set alt tags with weebly?

Note to all: Weebly sites are very limited when it comes to SEO, they are easy to set up and maintain but lack the deeper level of control that is needed for SEO.


Ithacahair.co.uk: Welcome :

You need to look at your titles, I've posted tens of times about the correct title format etc, so just have a flick back and see. At the moment your home page title is Ithacahair.co.uk:Welcome. Setting title tags as "Welcome", "Home", "Homepage" etc are common mistakes that can really cost you in the search engine rankings. A good homepage title would be "Hair Extensions Manchester - Ithacahair" for example. Think of it logically from a potential client's point of view. If someone in manchester wants hair extensions, they are going to Google "Hair Extensions Manchester".

Make sure you go through each page and cater the titles accordingly, for example the Microrings page change to "Micro Ring Extensions Manchester | Ithacahair". You will really notice a difference in the search engines by doing this simple change.

TITLES TITLES TITLES, THE MOST IMPORTANT ON PAGE SEO RANKING FACTOR! Title Tag SEO Best Practices - Meta Tag Optimization | SEOmoz

R D Beauty

Again TITLES. Read above, think about what potential clients will be searching for a change the title tags accordingly, for example "Nail Treatments and Tanning in Burton upon Trent | R D Beauty" or a variation there of. Be weary not t go over 70 characters for reasons highlighted above.

I really like your placement of your twitter, facebook likes and +1 buttons, social media is SO important in this day an age, but that's a post for another day.

Kim Alexandra Hairdressing, Bangor Co.Down Northern Ireland

Don't use the same title throughout the site, make sure they relate to what's on the page. For example, for the Tanning page, have "Heshi Tanning in Bangor | Kim Alexandra" etc. Remember to think about what people search for.

You have a deadlink in your footer where it says "site design by suzyjohnston", points to a dead website. It's actually been proven that having outbound links that lead to 404's (google "error code 404") can hurt your ranking, so it's always safe to fix it/remove it. Also read above about image "alt" tags.

Becker Beauty - Specialising in Hollywood & Brazilian Waxing

First off, Wix sites generally not the best for SEO, due to the flash elements and the fact that you can't cater page titles to specific pages. Like weebly you are pretty limited as to what you can do.

Regardless, take a look at your titles and incorporate your location into them. You currently have "hollywood & brazilian waxing" in there, but think how many other sites in the world are targetting those terms. Add your location and you cater your site to real potential clients.

Devon Beauty

Again, take a look at your page titles. Home page is currently just "Devon Beauty", read above for tips. Also look at adding "alt" tags to your images as explained above.

Although most search engines dont even look at keywords, yours are currently "Devon Beauty beauty treatments IPL permanent hair removal skin rejuvenation Xtreme semi-permanent eyelash extensions". You need to make sure you seperate each keyword with a comma, for example "permanent hair removal, skin rejuvenation, Xtreme semi-permanent eyelash extentsions".



Please read the thread before simply posting your site, almost everyone that is posted has iffy page titles, a subject which I have explained time and time again in previous posts

Sorry if the above is mish mash, extremely tired tonight and heading to bed now. if anyone has any questions about the above just ask. Have a good weekend all!
