Transitioning content to a new microsite

I am overseeing the creation of a microsite for an online travel agency that I work for. It's part of a project to make our blog content and travel tips more visible - right now most of the content on the main site is made up of vacation package listings and our clients cannot easily find our blog content which contains lots of useful destination information.

This new microsite will essentially serve as comprehensive travel guide for our destination, as well as travel tips and tours people can book through us. Think something like Fodor's, but just for one destination. Most of the content will be new, however we also want to transfer some content we already have on our site to this new microsite. A lot of these posts rank pretty highly - page 1 with over 1,000 keywords. We know naturally there will be a dip in rankings, but we want to plan this migration as carefully as possible.

Once we get the microsite up and running, should we immediately republish these posts in the microsite and redirect from the old site? Or should we wait for this new subdomain to get out of the Google sandbox, gain some authority/rankings and then transfer these posts over? Any other questions I should be asking or sources that can help out?

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...
