Are jobsite themes harder to optimize than say a traditional website?

[SJUK]

Until recently I have enjoyed a great deal of success with SEO on my websites and clients websites. SEO is more of a hobby than a profession for me however I am really struggling with my latest website www.securityjobsuk.co.uk - The keywords are easy, 1. security jobs and 2. security vacancies. The site has vanished off radar completely since I used the jobify theme.  Has anyone had similar experience with job boards? Do they require more TLC / expert attention?

I can't even access your content on the site.  I see home, mobile, and desktop as text and when I click desktop it just highlights mobile again, so nothing changes.

hi Richard, thats interesting.  I have checked this on various browsers and devices and was OK.

The content seems to be working fine for me on desktop and mobile.

Did you change domains when you changed themes or were you always http://www.securityjobsuk.co.uk/ but with better rankings? I ask because your domain authority is pretty low (18) and generally sites with that low of a domain authority don't rank at all.

The only other issue I can see is that your logo/sitename is sitting in a sitewide h1 and every page I looked at had at least 4 h1 tags, which is definitely not advised. Any page should only ever have one h1 and the logo shouldn't be a sitewide h1, at least in my opinion. That may be at least part of your issue.

I see it working now as well.  Also Spencer, if you ever want a good laugh go check out the H1s for the Moz Recommended companies.  I believe at least the first 5 on the page either have multiple h1s or none at all.

Wow, that's ridiculous. I just looked at https://www.97thfloor.com/ and their site is sort of cool, but it also really hurts my eyes.

I never understood SEO company's that preach one thing and then either do something else or just don't do exactly what they're telling their customers.

97th floor also has the same title tag for every page. I guess they just don't want to be found organically, which I guess might make sense when you work with big brands like they do.

Hi Spencer, thank you for your reply.

I have not changed domains, the site name is being generated by Wordpress in the settings so can easily be removed.  I think the H1 tags may be another debate, however will take it down to one per page. again most of the H1 are being generated by the theme rather than deliberate acts.
