Homepage and SEO Concerns

Hi guys,

 

I'm currently using Arcadier system for my marketplace and have some concerns on it regarding SEO specifically.

 

I understand that Arcadier will redirect the homepage to a "/user" URL from the original, such as www.example.com/user, and I guess it's not possible to change that.

 

But it seems like after changing to Arcadier, I can no longer search my homepage via Google. As it seems to be not able to capture the root "www.example.com" anymore, and the search engine text is still my old descriptions using the previous system. Can't seem to make sure that Google will show the correct updated description on my Arcadier set up and still show my base domain as the URL.

 

Is there any adverse effect on this, with regards to SEO as most links in other sites are linking to "www.example.com" instead of "www.example.com/user".

 

Thanks,

Charles

  Seems like the recent update "fixed" this, glad that it was worked out.

   

  I have another suggestion that will not just help with SEO (I assume) but also user experience.

   

  Right now the entire site title is whichever set by us, including listing pages. For example "ABC - Best website" throughtout the entire platform.

   

  It would be better if viewing listings, the title can be reflected for example "ABC - Listing 1" instead if not it might be confusing for users whom have multiple pages opened.

   

  Thanks,

  Charles

  ^ This is a major issue with the platform. I have just started a trial and I'm really dissapointed to discover:

  - Page titles are duplicate and not editable (e.g categories)
  - Same for meta descriptions
  - Unable to add text to categories.

  My business model relies on achieving rankings and getting traffic to encourage vendors to the marketplace. Unfortunately I'm unable to use this platform while the SEO settings are non existent.

  Would like to suggests having the option to add "add-ons that are counted by days", eg adding a GPS device for $10 a day and it will calculate $40 if the user is booking for 4 days, instead of a one-off add on pricing.

   

  Minimum booking days/hours would be useful also, so they can accept only bookings for 2 hours or more or 3 days or more for example.
