Quick tip for HCU-hit sites

If your site is still being crawled by Google but stuck in “Crawled – currently not indexed,” try drastically reducing your indexed URLs by deleting (serve as 410) or noindexing low-value pages.

This can shrink your site’s footprint enough to trigger a reclassification.

Remember the Helpful Content Update applies a site-level classifier — not page-level. If your site was labeled "unhelpful," no individual page fix will matter until the overall classification changes.

The key sign of potential recovery? Google is still crawling your site, which means it's still on their radar.

Hope this helps someone who has been effected.

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
