Hi, we are redesigning https://techgardens.com at http://146.66.113.175/~techgard/

The marketer in charge is changing the site structure slightly, and I would like to know if there's a tool that, once the new site goes live, can tell us what we need to do with 301 redirects,

I have the sitemap for the old site, I'll have the structure of the new site, and I can do it by hand if need be, but is there a handy tool out there? Both site are in wordpress. We also have thousands of products on the old site that I've transferred over, but did I get them all? Unknown.

Thanks.

I have created a node.js API and use React to get data from the API and display it on the frontend. I however need to start doing some simple SEO work like titles and meta descriptions etc. but not sure how to do this.

I installed React Helmet and in Google console if I look at the elements I can see the title and description there but I don't think that is enough to show up for search engines?

          <Helmet>
            <title>My page title</title>
            <meta name="description" content="Helmet application" />
          </Helmet>

Hey there, based on what I have on my plate and the fact that I was doing this client a favor they have a pretty much a non-existent budget, I did a wix site for them as they move away from their franchisor and go independent.  

It is a local cafe, before with the franchisor enter the business name or mention products and the town, or adjoining towns, they would always come up first on page one.  

The website was published on Wix about a week ago.  Is it that wix is a disaster when it comes to SEO or Google takes forever to index or I need to change what/how I did it for searching key words, or make longer phrases on hidden pages - anyone with any advice would be hugely appreciated.  

Compared to the old site, people are saying it looks really nice -BUT it needs to come up in search.  Just don't have time and they don't have a budget to pay webdevs.  

Thoughts/ideas?
Just not really my area and trying to help them out amap!

Is there a way to have google (and other search engines), reindex etc, after changes? Tools to measure where it ranks or if changes improved results etc?

Thanks!!!!

We need to search (Windows search) in file content (.html saved files) to find ie: names of the people in forms etc. and we need to search on network shares or mapped files. Though the shares are indexed on the server, on workstations we cannot find any file with the desirable content. I read once that the solution is to set the mapped folder to be available offline but we can't use it in our environment. Are there any other way to get searching in the file content on mapped drive or in the shared folders? I tried Agent Ransack and it's working without any problems - doesn't matter if it's local or network drive(share) but we want to use windows search instead of any other third-party software.

SEO website newbie.  Looking for the "best" option for a service to use to analyze websites for SEO.  Looking for one that will analyze the site, state problems and list actions that should be taken for best SEO.

I am teaching myself Marketing, specifically SEO and I have a Java React Web app that I’d like to start adding Long-tail keywords so that I can optimize for voice search.

I’m pretty old school and recall putting keywords in Metadata in the header of an HTML page. Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to place these long-tail phrases so that Google can spider them?

Thanks for your help.

Need Key Word search tools

I need free tools which let me search for words that are used very often. This is for SEO, since I want a high hit rate.

What can you suggest? And what other advice can you offer on SEO? I am starting with my YouTube channel...and will use these key words in the meta-data.

Thanks

Search engines have changed the display of a domain name in search results by adding random capitalization.  

For example, what once was listed as

aircraft.com

now many, but not all, listings have been changed to

AirCraft.com

with the "A" and the "C" capitalized in search results. (Just an example.  Not actual site)

So, a page that might have shown in search results as:


now shows


No changes have been made to the <title> or <description> tags in the pages.  Site has been online for a long time.  Only recent changes was to upgrade some coding, add wider https.  But, nothing substantive.

Interestingly, it is always shows this after the dash.  So that the pages' <title> correctly display, but the site url appended to the title with a dash now shows this modified capitalization.

I am working with pagespeed and gtmetrix and they both say I need to defer this script - https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js 

As you can see in the plugin async javascript I have this listed to defer

https://gyazo.com/6d3ba7273cb4256ebb7a3eed49d9cb6d

However, looking at the source at https://www.theherbsplace.com/product/artemisia_combination_p_163/?loggedout=true you can see that the script isn't being deferred.  

Here is the gtmetrix readout - https://gyazo.com/533542c729b4e15b20cc0f5ca9799bb1

How do I get this script to defer?  Is there another method that is better?

Thanks,

I am needing to find out what css or script needs to be excluded from the deferral tag.  If you go to this page - https://www.theherbsplace.com/product/artemisia_combination_p_163/ you will see under the herb bottle a blank thumbnail.  That is what should be showing the label of the product.  But it seems when I lazy load images to improve my pagespeed score that the label image isn't displayed anymore.

I have looked on Google console, but to no avail, so please tell me the steps to identify the script or css that needs to be excluded.

Thanks,

Hi Experts,

I'm after recommendations for someone or a company that can go through my Wordpress created website for Google Seach Engine Optimization and do the optimization for me at a reasonable price. I know very little about SEO apart from the purpose and importance of it. How to implement it on my site though, is beyond my own technical skills and experience.

I know that "reasonable price" is a subjective term and can't give a price that I'm willing to spend at this stage, except to say that I'd like to spend as little as possible :)

I'm open to all offers from both Experts Exchange members who have personal experience with doing this sort of thing, as well as recommendations from members who have personally used the services any companies they recommend I contact.

Thanks in advance for any offers and/or suggestions.

Regards, Andrew
