Some search/SCO questions from a noob

I take care of the windows that works at small business clients, along with managing 365 licenses and typically hosting their domain name, deal with domain registration and renewal and DNS. My web development skills are a little use of front page eons ago and hand coding. some HTML a decade ago.

Most clients are very small clients and the website is barely a static page.

One client has a 10 page website designed in Wordpress by a former employee.

And it just keeps running flash no one maintains the website, hasn’t updated Wordpress or the plug-ins.

Recently a guy that I didn’t know was involved with the website pointed out iIt has the Japanese malware on it.

Me trying to help, I learned of the Google search console and was able to add the TXT record so I could get into the console.

I could see the fixed with 50,000 pages ; )

I used malcare to clean the site.

The client got a firm that will maintain the website going forward

This new firm talked about wanting access to the Google. Search console to update the site map?

I’ve never deal with this stuff.

The guy that I recently found out about who’s dealing the the website says he’s involved with PPC ads? Pay per click? And says he doesn’t need access to the Google search console? And didn’t have access to the Google search console?

Again, I’m a noob so please bear with me.

If you have a website you can pay Google to be at the top of the search results. And that involves setting up criteria for search words, locations of searcher etc. for the system to decide to show your website as a sponsored result. That doesn’t need access to the Google search castle.

But then there’s a whole different “thing “regarding being in the free search results at all? That’s seo? And that needs access to the Google search console?

And the two parts typically could be handled by separate companies?

From what I’m getting 2nd/3rd hand no one has had access to the Google search engine before?

That said when I did get access to the search console, it did have a bunch of site maps in it – some from before the now wear and some after.

Google just creates that from crawling the web and it’s available when you decide to access the search console and then you can customize it?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
