Our Google business listing has been verified for 2 months now. It shows the business hours, website, local phone number and a detailed description. We have 5 positive reviews on Google. We also have 52 additional (positive) reviews from 3 different websites linked on the listing. It has about a dozen pictures + a 360 tour uploaded. I've made 2 high quality posts on it including images and detailed text. Our website has an embedded Google map with the location on it. We also have 150+ citations all using the same name, website, address, phone number, business info, etc. I've added pictures wherever possible. I have recently paid someone to also add 200 live Google Map citations. Am I missing something here? Technically, we show up as #1... as a paid Google Ads provider. But organically, the 1st and 2nd results are both the same person - using his personal name for one listing and his company name for the other. (How is that even allowed?) The 3rd result on Google Maps has...

Front end Programmer here - My employer has a website that could use some more links Their suppliers often have a 'suppliers' page, however it requires entering a zip code, or searching for the city, before it shows any results Are these links useless from a SEO point of view? submitted by /u/FitTop7 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2CWZ4Gj

Do I simply duplicate the page, then go through and replace all instances of city A with city B? Do I add canonical links to all pages except the main one? Will this mean they won't rank? Basically, I've got a service page that ranks well in city A. I just want to duplicate that page and replace city A with city B, so I can start ranking in city B. What is the best way to do this? submitted by /u/mated-poncho [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2GekIZR

Let’s say you built your content around a keyword you thought you could win and now you are getting decent traffic from it for example best city plumber. How do you move from that to : plumer in city, plumber city, etc. ? Do I have to create new pages that focuses on those keywords ? How would that work if it’s the same service ? submitted by /u/daddysworstnightmare [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2UymjNN

I have a (joomla) category called Testimonials - and I only want the category view to be displayed and indexed on the site. The individual testimonials are all separate articles within that category - and I don't want the individual article pages being displayed or indexed. Currently, there is no way to navigate to the individual article pages via the website menu structure, however the article URLs still exist and do show up in my sitemap (and presumably are being indexed by google). I've removed all content from the article layouts (so essentially, when viewed directly they are just made up of the Header, footer, and nothing inbetween) - So there isn't really anything of value for google to index - But these URLs are still showing in my sitemap. Is this the best method to hide the article layouts from google? Is there a better method? Should I place a no follow / no index tag directly into the article page layout? submitted by /u/shandb [link] [comments] ...

I need an expert to take a look at a website and give their opinion as to why our rankings suck. Ive tried multiple things to produce some results and so far (12 months time) I’ve had little to no success. From my previous experience our competitors shouldn’t be ranking as high as they are compared to us. Their loading times, UX (and mobile UX), keyword density, and google developer scores are worse or fairly similar to ours. So I’m at a complete loss. If anyone can offer some professional advice/support I would be happy to provide compensation. submitted by /u/Cheymau5 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2G0wXK2

I may be being impatient but I built my website using Squarespace and went live around December 23, 2018. I looked at keyword research terms and know that the keywords I am targetting have a high volume of searches. When I however search for any of my keywords, my website is not even on the last page of Google Here is what I have done so far: - submitted my website to Google Search Console - made my website HTTPS - created blog content and pages with my keywords - added meta keywords and meta descriptions to all my pages with keywords - added alt tags to all images with keywords - started Twitter and Facebook accounts where I crosspost my blog contents - Started and uploaded YouTube videos with my keywords ​ When I search google with "site:[website address], my website pages show up which means that it has been indexed. I am at a loss as to what else I can do to get my website to even show up on Google. ​ Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/geezr77 [link] [co...

I'm trying to scan my website for broken links and need to list all the broken links in a spreadsheet with the source (page located on) and the actual link itself (with maybe some anchor text/status code but the first two are most important). However some links have been redirected over time and the scan records the redirect link as the source/inlink with the new redirect instead of the ORIGINAL source and the ORIGINAL broken link. The original is what I need because I want to know what the actual broken link is and what page it is located on. I can get to this information by right clicking an individual record and exporting a crawl path report. But this method is inefficient because I am dealing with a thousand plus records. Any Screaming Frog pros know how to deal with this? Thanks! 😊 submitted by /u/chill_advised [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2Wx2acZ

I have a client moving to my platform and need to write redirects. I downloaded the ahrefs sheet of backlinks but many of the links are pointing to images on the site with URLs ending in .jpg or .png. I want them to resolve on the product pages for the site but the URL itself has no indication of what product the image belongs to.

Hello Everyone, ​ I run into this issue every once in a while because I sell a SaaS cloud-based software. The client's that use our product get a site created at companyname.mycompany.com . They then use a CNAME record to create a custom domain on a subdomain i.e something.company.com . This is the industry standard in our market. All of our competitors suggest the same and it's overall easily accepted by our clients. Every once in a while we get someone who will aggressively argue with us that it has to be in a subfolder and not a subdomain for SEO. Now I do get the impression from browsing this subreddit that people generally assume subfolder is superior to a subdomain for your main site's SEO. We find this argument odd given that GWT has tools to declare subdomains as officials parts of your primary web presence. However, I'd be willing to concede maybe subfolder is better than subdomain at face value (let's say 55-45). That said, with a hosted solution, the...

Hey guys, Our homepage ranks well for ' keyword a'. The homepage itself is not the most interesting thing to link to, so we have created an article (with the aim to collect natural links) around the subject of our websites main keyword. ​ Would you advise linking back to the homepage in the article, in order to boost the rankings for 'keyword a' (somewhat of a reverse silo). If you'd recommend linking back to the homepage, what anchor text would you recommend? An exact match? Partial match or something related to the subject?

Hi everyone. I launched a website about 6 weeks ago, and at first the search results had the correct Titles and Descriptions. But as of a few days ago the titles have been replaced with text taken from places other than the title tag—and the descriptions are completely missing. I've checked my pages and there's nothing technically wrong with the title tags or meta titles, or meta descriptions. Any idea what could be going on here? Is this just a normal part of process? It's driving me a little nuts. submitted by /u/RespectableCafe [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2G1fLnV

Hi, well my question is in the title. Im aware that good kw research and providing quality content is the main part in SEO, but regarding Onpage & Offpage im kinda lost. I'm leaning towards Offpage, simply because since there are only 3 Products, there are only few landingpages to optimize, but i'd love to hear your opinions. I already analyzed the homepage and the most relevant competitors and in my opinion, the company need improvement in both regards. Of course there are no backlinks without onpage optimized landingpages etc., but what would be more important for choosing a seo software in this particular situation? submitted by /u/Gr4zzle [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2HGEH5D
