Advice on long form content !

Hey guys!

So i was ranking top 3 for a couple keywords for my site for a while, then new competition kept creeping up and stole my ranks! they have long form content on their homepage, like 2000 words. I didnt want to do this because i like to keep my site simple and to the point which has worked well for conversions. But i have been told by many that google likes long form, so reluctantly I did that and i started ranking again after a while. But now my conversion rate is only 2% and it used to be 5%. I am almost certain visitors are getting lost in the long form content because it really is only there to help me rank. Yes its all relative information, but its not necessary and probably confuses visitors or overwhelms them... then they leave before even getting to my shop page. I really dont like all the words on my home page, it looks bad (to me - i personally think all long form on homepages look bad for ecommerce atleast) and that kind of stuff i would rather keep in the blog. What do you guys think? Ideally i would go back to simple and to the point. But im worried i will lose my rank if i get rid of the 2000 pointless words on my homepage. Any and all input welcome. thanks so much for your thoughts

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
