Very Weird "Near Me" Search Results, When did this happen

I have noticed some very odd results recently when searching and analyzing keywords for clients that contain "near me". I'm not sure if this has been happening a long time or what. Just wanted to create an open discussion about this.

So I first of all, I was researching for a medical spa client and looked at SERPs for the keyword "Lip Fillers Near Me". I noticed a few results that were local to their market and then several results on page one that were med spas from all over the country that just had pages with basic keyword optimization for that exact keyword. Then I got curious wondering if it was just for possibly less competative keywords but then I searched for "SEO Agency near me" and I'm seeing the same thing -- companies not near me.

I am just wondering has Googles algo regressed so much that they are just ranking pages with exact match title tags. Its a shit result that if I am not going crazy it would show you all local business in Map pack and organic which it should unless its a True directory site.

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?

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
