Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Community, has anyone else had a 404 error reported by Moz, where the end of the domain is /%25s?

The error comes from my blog home page https://kaydee.net/blog/

But when I look at the source code, I can't see anything that has a space at the end of the URL. I wonder if it is to do with the WordPress search?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hello, I took a look at your site.

It does come up when you search the company name, NWI Chiropratic, but maybe not for key terms that you want to rank for. I would say this is because you have not optimised any of the pages for specific keywords or location.

Take the SERVICES page, the title is: Services — NWI Chiropractic

The description is: Chiropractic care in Northwest Indiana. Our location is in Schererville and near Dyer, St. John, Highland, Munster, Griffith, and Merrillville.

Neither of those relate to each other, nor to the content on the page. That particular page is full of images, with no alt tags and it has no writing on it what so ever, no introduction to what the services are or where the company is.

Instant information should be available at the top of the page for mobile users.

Google is having a hard time understanding your page is about, and will not reward you if you haven't tried to help the end user.

Also consider providing a lot more valuable content on the website, and getting relevant and quality back links.

You were probably lucky for a bit, as it was a new site.

Hi there, are you a MOZ PRO member?

I can see the crawl test when I click MOZ PRO in my navigation bar at the top. It is one from the bottom.

Hi Andy,

I am not a search engine expert, I know basic SEO. MOZ works out the authority of a page using lots of factors, especially backlinks. It goes to show how competitive a page might be on Google.

When a page has no relevant external links to it from other websites with good Domain Authority, then the score considerably low.

I would say the way to get a better score is to improve the pages SEO, target it more for one key term, make it more readable and easy on the eye. You could improve images and use headings through out. Then you may get more links to the page, meaning a much better page authority score.

Hope that helps,

Kelly
