The same article hierarchy layout

[Rardak]

What if I used the same article hierarchy layout for 30 pages about different brand watches? The layout is:
1. Brand introduction.
2. Why are this brand watches popular in Thailand.
3. Why choose this brand models over other brand's models.
4. How to recognize a genuine model of this brand.
5. Top genuine shops selling this brand watches.
6. 2nd hand seller.
7. Top bestseller collections in Thailand.
8. Conclusion.
9. FAQs

Is it okay for Google bots?

Actually, yes it works but using the same layout is fine as long as the content is unique for each page. Make sure each section is tailored to the brand, avoids duplication, and adds value. Use distinct keywords, internal links, and rich media to enhance SEO. Focus on quality, and Google bots will be fine with it as long as you haven't violate the terms and conditions .

I think that at some point (about an year ago if memory serves me well) google started penalizing sites that had a FAQ section on every page. They thought that this is done to improve SEO in non-legit ways, so they've penalized sites that had FAQs on each page.

Now, just for the record: I don't know how true this is (or whether this still applies), but I am dead serious that I've seen people complaining about this on BHW, so it must have been some truth to this, even if for a short while (few months probably).

So, what I recommend that you do (especially if you're going to have the exact same FAQs on all / most pages) is do everything as you said, but don't add any FAQs until you start ranking.

And then - when you rank - you can add FAQs at the end of a few pages of your choice (I would probably choose pages that rank in top 5 but for keywords that are not very important), and if you see those pages tank you'll know that it's the FAQs that ruined it.

Add the FAQs on 5-6 test pages (but AFTER you rank, this is very important because otherwise you might not figure out why you're not ranking to begin with). So, do this with 5-6 pages and if all of them tank you'll know it's because of the FAQs. I think it would also help if those FAQs don't make up more than 20% of the total content of those pages, especially if the FAQs are absolutely the exact same on all pages....

2. Why are this brand watches popular in Thailand.
3. Why choose this brand models over other brand's models.
4. How to recognize a genuine model of this brand.
5. Top genuine shops selling this brand watches.

You can rotate the position of these subjects in each article to mix things up a bit without readability suffering.

Using the same article hierarchy layout for multiple pages about different brand watches can raise concerns regarding duplicate content

 

[Rardak]

I have FAQs on almost every page on all my websites. No issues,

I'm just concerned about using the same layout but keeping the conent unique is the way to go, as I always do.

I just create unique headings for each page (and content, of course), it's just the structure which stays the same, as I presented it in the first post.

Layouts don’t matter as long as content isn’t duplicate, Google loves fresh, relevant info
