Are citations that are indexed by Google more helpful than citations that are not?

I recently watched a YT video from Sterling Sky/Joy Hawkins on tests they ran to see if backlinks and citations impact rankings for local businesses. Their tests suggest that they do. One interesting point Joy made was that if Google does not index your specific citation URLs, they're not providing any value.

Has anyone seen evidence that this is true through your SEO experience? If that's the case, most of the citations like HotFrog, Brown Book, etc. that companies like Uberall and Yext aggregate to... are of little value.

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
