      From an SEO standpoint, is it worth keeping a blog post that only has a few images and a few sentences? I think the post was meant to be a 'Recent Work' type of a post, but there's only a few images in it and a few short sentences. I'm thinking they're basically useless since I've created an image gallery elsewhere and I'm tempted to delete them.

        so, if the content marketing, has its own URL extension. so say 123.com/blog- then, just improve the content marketing, so write longer work, make sure that the content marketing follows the guidance set out in Google E-EAT- write quality content marketing, then try and get quality backlinks built to it.

          You know, pictures only work in a visual way. But from my knowledge and experience, it's better to insert cool posts divided into chapters, contrary to what it seems people like to read and still do.

            Rather than deleting the page, or blog post, improve it. Add some more, improve also the onsite SEO.

              hello,
              you can still have engagement benifits from it, you can try expanding the content, and add a nofollow tag to the links so it doesnt pass link juice to other pages.

                @camerontway Hi

                Last week, I achieved some backlinks for my food delivery <a href="https://menupriceast.com/"> food delivery</a> food delivery website to enhance my clients' experience. I also want to get a backlink service if anyone here is offering it. However, they are not indexed yet. How can I index them? And how can i improve my website ranking?

                Sincerely

                  The decision of whether to delete, merge, or enrich depends on your specific situation and priorities. If you have limited resources and the content offers little value, deleting is be the best course of action. Or if you can invest time to enhance the content or choose professional ways to access it, consider those options.

                  Just focus on providing valuable content to your users and search engines will benefit your SEO strategy in the long run.

                    @camerontway said in keep short posts?:

I think the post was meant to be a 'Recent Work' type of a post, but there's only a few images in it and a few short sentences.

                    While it may seem tempting to remove a blog post with minimal content, consider its potential SEO value. Even brief posts contribute to your website's indexing and can attract traffic through relevant keywords. Additionally, they offer opportunities for internal linking and engagement. Rather than deletion, consider enhancing the post with additional contexts, such as project insights or client testimonials, to provide value to visitors. Alternatively, you can redirect users to your image gallery while keeping the post for its SEO benefits.

                      Query on Ranking Expectations and Search Intent Alignment

                      keyword ranking

                      I've recently implemented the page optimization recommendations provided by Moz Pro to help our site rank for specific keywords on certain pages. It’s been about a week since we made these changes, and we’re happy to report that our optimization scores for the targeted keywords and URLs are looking strong. I did create these pages with our intended keywords in mind. However, two questions about the page optimization tool: Ranking Expectations: Since our optimization scores are good, when might we start seeing improvements in our keyword rankings? We know that SEO results can take time, but we would appreciate any insights on a typical timeline based on your experiences. Optimization and Search Intent: While the tool’s optimization suggestions have been helpful, we’re curious about how they factor in search intent. How does Moz Pro’s advice take into account variations in search intent, especially if users search using slight variations of the keywords we’re targeting?

                      Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?

                      shopify ecommerce seo

                      Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!

                      Shopify SEO - Collection or Blog post for ecomm seo?

                      shopify ecommerce seo tactics

                      Hi Moz folks, would love your thoughts on benefits of Shopify collection pages v blog posts for ranking secondary shopping keywords not suitable for existing shop pages - all help gratefully received, we are going down a rabbit hole on this one and need some sanity! So, we’re updating our site which already has a reasonable seo foundation and are looking to rank better for key shopping search keywords in our space (d2c sports nutrition). My question is should we prioritise store collection pages (category pages in Shopify terms) or blog posts for some of the main keywords not already covered by our core in-store collections/categories? Priority keywords already covered are things like protein powders, protein bars, energy drinks, etc. As context, we have a small product catalogue (10 products) and for easy navigation on site have these grouped into 7 collections/categories in the main menu and available from the homepage. All are quality high volume and high intent shopping keywords for our business. The secondary terms we are now looking to add content for are things like marathon nutrition, vegan sports nutrition, etc so now ​need to choose if we create product collection pages for these, or use blog posts to do the work. The advantage of collections, we believe, is that Google is likely to prioritise these in search. The disadvantage from a UX point of view is that more categories in store could make our simple and clear product range (10 products only) look complex or repetitive. Conversely, a blog post removes any UX confusion with too many categories, but we have a conversion rate issue with our blog. It performs well in search, but conversions are poor. We have addressed this with a new keyword targeting strategy and blog customisation, but we have yet to test this so while in theory it should work well, we do not know for certain. In summary: we want to rank key shopping keywords beyond our core ones we have - would you advise we use blog posts or product collection pages? All help gratefully received - thanks! Warren
