Which website is better for SEO - Shopify or WordPress.org ?

Hello,

​

I would be INCREDIBLY thankful if somebody of You would tell me, which SEO agency to trust.

​

So, I am planning to open a webshop and I have been calling marketing/SEO agencies to ask for help in regards of creating website and working on SEO.

I called 2 agencies and asked, which platform (Shopify or WordPress.org) should I choose for my somewhat simple webshop.

​

AGENCY 1 said this: "To create a professional webshop (with custom design) from scratch on WordPress.org would cost You about $7000. If it's to much for You, then You can create a webshop by yourself using Shopify. HOWEVER, we don't do SEO for Shopify websites, because such website would rank poorly on Google. We only offer our SEO offers/management to websites created through WordPress."

I asked what is the problem with Shopify websites and got this response: "well, the code of websites created using Shopify is not good for SEO. The code looks messy and hard to read for Google, therefore it's not worth spending money to rank such website. Honestly, having Shopify webshop and spending money on SEO is a money waste... We suggest to create a website using Shopify and try to use Google Ads, Facebook Ads to get traffic."

​

AGENCY 2 said this: "We do SEO for any kind of websites, it doesn't matter if it's created using Shopify or WordPress.org."

I said that I heard rumors that Google does not rank Shopify websites as high as websites created using WordPress, because the codes of websites are much different. Got this response: "No, Google ranks Shopify webshops equily to WordPress.org webshops. The code is different, but it does not matter, it does not have an affect for Google ranking."

​

Guys, I am confused... Which agency is saying truth?

​

Sincerely,

Kristupas

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
