How Google March Update could be killing Plastic surgery patients

This new update is not only about content, is about page authority. You will see different posts talking about Link building being extremely important for this update. However in my industry that could be deadly.

I work for a plastic surgery center in South Florida, I have over 18 years on digital marketing management. We rank pretty high on several relevant keywords, the speed of our website based on google insights is 82/100, our main competitors have it around 60/100. In terms of UX we are doing great, there is always room for improvement, and I work daily on the website to have the best rank possible.

On march 12, 2019 Google decided to roll a new algorithm update, one of the main factors for ranking is now page authority, and link building. We dropped in rakings, One of our major competitor which only has a pagespeed of 2/100 is now ranking higher. While doing research through ahrefs and SEMrush, I noticed the competitors have links from the the HuffPost, from Miamiherald, the Medicaldaily, and the main reason is because both competitors are under investigation for patients deaths.

There has to be a solution for this, in some way Google may be giving more patients to a business who are infamous. I know the ranks will eventually change to favoring UX, pagespeed, and content, meanwhile the ranks are about who is more noticeable on the web, and that could be deadly in some industries.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
