A little SEO advice

[staticbuddha]

Hi I’m new here , Recently found this website and have read quite a few of the articles and look forward to brushing up on my SEO skills.

I currently have designed a website www,thealternativenhs,co,uk, It’s a website for someone who provides Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling.

I was hoping that I could get them high in Google for Hypnotherapy Bromley, Psychotherapy Bromley etc., however it’s not doing as well as I hoped. I have found a good few things which I need to work on such as gzip, meta tags etc. to possibly help with SEO positioning but am also looking to do some changes

On the front page I have information on all three subjects which I think isn’t helping.? So I’m thinking of making each topic into its own individual page.
Do you think this will help.

If I was to do this I then would have a blank front page, so I’m thinking of making this more generic about the types of problems people can have such as abuse etc.

any feedback will be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Stu

Hi , thanks for your quick reply. I have added changing the titles to my long list of things I need to alter. Do you feel this is the ultimate reason why Im not getting high up and changing the main topicsinto indivual pages wont help. Cheers Stu

You need to do research into what people are actually searching for which is also along the lines of the keyword you are targeting. You need a mixture of longer tailed keywords as you are more likely to rank for these quicker than shorter tailed keywords try three phrase keywords... and four tailed keywords too. Do a keyword research on Google adwords keyword tool.

Good luck with this.

I haven't looked at the site or done any analysis, but I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet - LINKS! Get relevant links from authority sites in your industry and on related topics.

A review of the practices and some descriptive content for someone else's site with a link back to your site would be helpful (don't duplicate content).

You gotta target the right keywords to get found by the people you want

You gotta have the content with the right keywords in it for the search engines to rank you anywhere decent

You gotta have links to that content telling the search engines that your content is worth ranking.

Hi fixed the keyword stuffing, I was using Yoast SEO (wordpress plugin) and it was duplicating everything, this is a common issue when I searched on the internet. Thought I mention here as someone else may bump into this. Had to remove the blog name from the below php edit <title><?php wp_title('|', true, 'right'); bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

Thanks again for pointing this out

Hi and thanks for your reply, I have used google adwords to search for what I believe are the best search terms when I designed the site, while search terms like hypnotherapy would be a unrealistic target to go for I believe hypnotherapy Bromley (local town) would be a reachable target. I will defo do more research but my main concern is that on my front page I have crammed to many topics and I may need to split them into several pages and am wondering if anyone would know if its a good idea for seo purposes to split the topics on this page into seperate pages. thanks Stu

Hi thanks for your reply, I do have quite a lot of back links to this website, the lady has paid back links from relevant websites like Hypnotherapy associations. I can of course work on this more, I do feel I have the basics on SEO like understanding the importance of H tags, right keywords etc but am more thinking along getting my site structure right too. If you could shed any light on if you feel my front page is not targeted enough it would help me allot and it would also mean my other few sites will also need me to adjust.

I guess my question is really
Should each page be targeting individual keywords as my current front page may target too many.

Cheers
