Ideas please

  • Two things: Firstly how do I create a contact us page / form which wont lead to 100’s spammers?

    secondly I run classes in 3 different locations. For SEO ive always had a location page ie www….co.uk/leicester, but this feels clunky, and the page is horrible.

    If someone searches childbirth classes Leicester, how is the best way of optimising for this? I was wondering if I could still keep the location pages but put an auto redirect to the main childbirth page?

    or do I just put lots of location keywords into the main text?

    Or do I accept the best way id to have a location page for each class and repeat the content?

    This is the current website https://92.63.140.212/~partners/

    Ideas please?

  • Dear LIz Earle,

    About your first question regarding preventing spam:
    I am not sure if you are using a plugin to create forms but many include some sort of built-in spam protection that you can enable.

    For instance there are plug-ins that include Akismet that aims (and generally succeeds) to greatly reduce spam.
    Furthermore there is also CAPTCHA and the newly reCAPTCHA that you can read about on the Google reCAPTCHA pages.

    You can implement these solutions to prevent spam although you will probably always get some degree of spam as it still remains cat-and-mouse.

    About your second question regarding SEO for multiple locations:
    In SEO it is essential that you think like the user you are trying to optimize for.
    So if you are willing to go down the path of creating three separate pages for the different locations that make sure you offer content that tailors to that.

    If you ‘just’ create three pages with little content and more or less duplicate content this will definitely impact SEO.

    If the information about the classes is all the same and you just want to inform visitors that the service is offered in three locations I think you would be better of to place it in one page.

    Furthermore you can always measure (for instance through Google Analytics) the way pages perform and you can actually test three pages vs 1 page.

    Hope this helps. If it does please mark this topic as resolved.

    Kind regards,

    CS_WordPress
