H1s are now mandatory

I've had an LP that was ranking well in a local searches (between 3 and 7 positions) for years… Then, a few months back, it stopped ranking at all. I had it on a back burner, since this particular KW is not very important for the project, but yesterday I've got around to it.

The page had no H1 tag, only meta title and description. It just didn't make any sense to have a title on this particular LP… but last night I've made an H1 matching meta title, just to see what will happen.

…This morning I woke up with this page ranking №1. From nowhere to first position literally overnight!

Guess it's time to get serious about H1s, despite all the rewriting shenanigans.

PS: Never had a problem ranking content without H1s before.

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
