301 category page to Homepage to increase authority

[Gareth_Cartman]

Hello all,

Hope everyone is well and are enjoying the summer.

I am currently working with a site: www.corporatehealth.co.uk and have been trying to rank on the first page for the keyword occupational health. currently we are ranking on the second page:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=occupational+health&pws=0&gl=uk#q=occupational+health&hl=en&pws=0&gl=uk&prmd=ivnsb&ei=38dUTuHCDdGKhQetqZn5BQ&start=10&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=80a9548917d021a&biw=1920&bih=878

I understand I need to get more links pointing to the site and page itself. My idea was to do a 301 redirect from the occupational health page to the homepage and add occupational health content to the homepage as ultimately they are an occupational health service supplier.

Was hoping to get anyones thoughts on the issue.

Thanks in advance

Shehzad

I think doing that might eliminate the relevant content under the "occupational health" category.

Adding occupational health content to the homepage may not be that bad of an idea, and you might consider building out a series of subcategories or deeper pages based on the "occupational health" theme.

Thanks for your answer Bryce.

I was going to replace the occupational page with an occupational health services page so all of the relevant content under it will still be within a relevant category.

What do you think?
