    Hi
    I’m an individual running a single website. I’m in the midst of rebuilding my website, which includes among other things, shifting from Yoast to RankMath.
    One of the initial stages in setting RankMath is defining the website type that I’m running for SEO purposes. I would appreciate if you can recommend the right website type based on the information provided bellow:
    The website includes a blog, podcast episodes and offering of my services (individuals/couples counseling, workshops and lectures). Is this a “Personal Blog”? “Other Personal Website”? “Small Business Site”? Other definition?
    I’m not sure what are the implications of the defining the type of my website (from a SEO point of view) and thus requesting for your support.
    Thank you in advance,
    Ravit

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing. Based on the information you provided, it seems that your website could fit into a couple of categories. Since you are offering services such as counseling, workshops, and lectures, along with having a blog and podcast episodes, the most suitable option would likely be "Small Business Site". This classification reflects that you are running a business while also providing personal content through your blog and podcast.

    Choosing the right website type is important for SEO because it helps Rank Math to add the correct metadata that can assist search engines in understanding the nature of your website. This can influence how your site appears in search results and can help in optimizing your content for better visibility.

    If you feel that your website leans more towards personal content rather than business, you might consider "Other Personal Website" as an alternative. However, given your services, "Small Business Site" seems to be the most appropriate choice.

    Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
