"Doorway" pages. If they are not relevant why does everyone use them?

I own a cleaning company, we have a page for each city we service with about half unique content on each page. I have been told by many SEO experts these are "doorway pages", that they are an old strategy, that google will de-rank us etc. And, like all things SEO... I have been told by an equal number of seemingly equally competent SEO experts that this is merely part of the game. I've had people go as far as saying it is a best practice.

Also, worth noting virtually every cleaning company in our area that ranks, ranks for pages like this. The only exception being companies named after the cities they are in.

My question: Who do I hire of these two camps and why? If not via these pages how will they actually get us ranking in these local areas in any reasonable amount of time?

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
