1. I read that it calls main body before left and right, but does that include top rows to bottom rows?

2. If I had a product and services site, is it better to put some articles on the front or would that not matter?

3. with google webmaster it says there is no structured data on the whole website that google can read, so I had to go to the manual highlighter and do individual pages.

4. I like that there is no articles on the main page on your newer templates, and i would like to get rid of the articles on the front page but i dont want to lose google search, so what is the impact with removing the 5 intro articles on the front page


thanks

Hello,

1. No, there is really no way to do that, rows have to be called first. Anymore though google indexes the entire page.

2. It's not really articles that matter necessarily. Modules can be good for SEO as well depending on their markup. Also a lot of indexing happens on the meta descriptions of the site which are handled by Joomla.

3. I am not sure what you mean. Google should be able to index any page. If it's referring to a menu structure it should have no issues with that. It's not uncommon to manual configure google webmasters, remember it's just an automated bot that does it's best to index it, if you want it set a specific way it's always best to configure in webmasters.

4. See #2 above, articles are not necessary. Google doesn't specifically look for articles, many modules can contain h1 and h2 which are also highly ranked in SEO.

thanks, what about multiple modules on a page with h1 names, assuming all modules when showing their name are h1?

would you say a site like Zoka would do well in a search or better than the emusica site or business pro site? in your opinion? I noticed in webmaster that i have multiple h1 tags on my landing page of my website. I switched what I could but I believe there is a few still listed.

Thanks again

Hello,

You generally only want a single H1 element on the page for SEO purposes, so make this your most relevant piece of material. The Template selected won't affect SEO. This is completely based on the content and markup you are using to optimize the search engines crawlers.
