Getting meta title/description placeholders to update on time

Over the last 6 months, been facing a particular challenge with a business I work for - they operate in a very fast paced and competitive market (from SEO stand point) where top positions fluctuate a lot. As we have a lot of content that updates daily on our page, we find that CTR is particularly pegged to meta titles and descriptions being reflective of content above the fold as well as showcasing the current month (eg. Services for hire - New stock available - June 2021)

To do this, we have set our page's H1 with placeholders that automatically update to the latest date (%month% for example) but have had a lot of trouble getting Google to fetch this change in a timely manner. This means that for several days of June, we will still be fighting to get rid of a May meta title - which obviously hurts rankings for us if competitors are able to update faster. This is despite the actual page title switching correctly and the H1's reading June on the page as expected.

Fetching through search console has proved pretty ineffective and unreliable, and as we run a lot of pages on the domain, the problem is pervasive so we often run out of Crawling 'budget'

Is this a challenge that other businesses face as well and how have you managed to overcome this in your own experience?

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
