Is google "local" supposed to change ranking based on distance?

First I'd like to thank everybody for the hints and info over the past few months.

My site is showing up nicely and my brand new business is moving along.

I do service work that involves going to customer locations and fixing their broken appliances.

My service area is setup in the "application/ld+json" structure and while I'm getting calls from all over the areas that I service, I'm getting a lot more from the areas closest to my physical location.

This isn't actually a complaint, since closer calls cost less in fuel, time and vehicle wear, however I'm curious about "why?"

Does google drop the ranking in a linear fashion as the customer gets farther away from my physical location, or is this just a case of customers picking someone closer to them?

IE. Does my website's rank change within the areas listed in the json data?

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
