      I am fairly new to using Moz and I have just recently ran a custom report, a "Full Site Audit". On this report it has pulled up a particular area that I have a question about, please see below.

      Missing Description
      In this area it says that there are 76 pages with missing descriptions. the majority of these pages are duplicated pages, of the Homepage, that were created to help put us first on Google when searching for Office/Furniture/IT suppliers in a certain city. (i.e. Halifax, Leeds, etc)
      These additional pages were created by a third-party. In order to sort out these "Missing Descriptions", what would you advise we do when filling in the Meta Descriptions?

        To address the issue of missing meta descriptions for the duplicated pages using Python technology, you can leverage web scraping and text analysis libraries to extract relevant content and generate meta descriptions automatically. Here's a high-level approach using Python:

        Web Scraping: Use Python libraries like requests or Selenium to scrape the content of each duplicated page from your website.

        Text Analysis: Utilize Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries like NLTK or spaCy to analyze the scraped content and extract key phrases or sentences that best represent the page's content.

        Generation of Meta Descriptions: Based on the extracted content, dynamically generate meta descriptions for each page using Python. This can involve summarizing the content, selecting relevant keywords, and crafting concise and descriptive meta descriptions within the character limit.

        Integration with CMS: If your website is built on a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress, you can use Python scripts to automatically update the meta descriptions for each page within the CMS using its API or database connection.

        Testing and Optimization: Once the meta descriptions are generated and updated, monitor the performance of the pages in search engine results and analyze user engagement metrics to optimize the effectiveness of the meta descriptions over time.

        By leveraging Python technology for web scraping, text analysis, and automation, you can efficiently address the issue of missing meta descriptions for the duplicated pages on your website while ensuring relevance and accuracy in search engine results.

          Rel canonical tag from shopify page to wordpress site page

          shopify wordpress canonical

          We have pages on our shopify site example - https://shop.example.com/collections/cast-aluminum-plaques/products/cast-aluminum-address-plaque That we want to put a rel canonical tag on to direct to our wordpress site page - https://www.example.com/aluminum-plaques/ We have links form the wordpress page to the shop page, and over time ahve found that google has ranked the shop pages over the wp pages, which we do not want. So we want to put rel canonical tags on the shop pages to say the wp page is the authority. I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate your feeback and best solution. Thanks! Is that possible?

          Unsolved Using Weglot on wordpress (errors)

          wordpress weglot

          Good day to you all, Does anyone have experience of the errors being pulled up by Moz about the utility of the weglot plugin on Wordpress? Moz is pulling up URLs such as: https://www.ibizacc.com/es/chapparal-2/?wg-choose-original=false These are classified under "redirect issues" and 99% of the pages are with the ?wg-choose parameter in the URL. Is this having an actual negative impact on my search or is it something more Moz related being highlighted. Any advice be appreciated and a resolution .. Im thinking I could exclude this parameter.

          Hello Moz Community, I've been running a blog ( www[dot]arrify[dot]com ) for a while, focused on Salesforce. I'm looking to enhance my lead-generation efforts through my blog content. I would appreciate insights and strategies on the following: SEO Best Practices: How can I optimize my blog posts for better search engine visibility to attract more potential leads? Content Engagement: What types of content (e.g., infographics, videos, in-depth guides) have been most effective for engaging readers and encouraging them to provide their contact information? CTA Placement: Where is the most effective placement for calls-to-action within a blog post to maximize lead capture without detracting from user experience? Lead Capture Forms: Are there any recommended practices for designing lead capture forms that encourage sign-ups? Any specific examples or case studies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

          Unsolved Google URL inspection live test rendering issue.

          google search console wordpress css

          Hi Everyone, This is my first post on Moz. I have been trying to get this thing sorted and have read everywhere and everyone just says don't worry about it. I would really like some advice/suggestions on this it will be really helpful. When I use the Google URL inspection tool from the Google search console the page rendering is completely broken. The tool refuses to load resources each time. At end of the day that's how the website is rendered in Google cache. I have already tried disabling cache plugins and Cloudflare but nothing works. site - nationalcarparts.co.nz
          This is how it renders when using URL inspection tool -
          https://prnt.sc/7XKHtEU01gEl and if you check cache:https://nationalcarparts.co.nz this is how Google is caching it. Plugins I am using - Elementor Version 3.6.1, Elementor Pro Version 3.6.4, Exclusive Addons Elementor Version 2.5.4, Exclusive Addons Elementor Pro Version 1.4.6, WP- rocket, Cloudflare Pro plan with the plugin. Please if someone has fixed this issue and has a possible solution for it. Thanks cacheissue1.PNG

          Should posts show in multiple categories?

          seo wordpress

          Hi all, For context, I'm trying to Silo my content more efficiently. I've just moved all content into their own SILO'd categories and removed them from duplicate categories. As such, posts now sit only in 1 category. My question here is: Should my posts be showing in both the parent category and its sub category or just the sub-category? I've currently got this only showing in the sub-categories it's relevant to. For example:
          Post name: Shimano Fishing Rod Review
          Parent Category: Fishing Rods
          Sub Category: Shimano And the post only shows inside the Shimano Category
