Are anchor links preventing better SEO

We are a small business, solo law firm. We use a single long page as our home page with multiple anchor links or jump links to get to our menu items… Home Practices About Contact Locations Presentations Publications FAQs

The only other Wordpress page is “News” which is another long single page.

We’ve worked hard build our website using best practices, and we rank high for our brand (name of attorney) and primary keywords - usually in the top SERP for our geography. Our Lighthouse scores are solid. (Score 100 for the SEO section)

Is this structure the optimal one for SEO? Would we get better SEO results, richer snippets, higher SERP rankings for additional keywords if we break these anchor links into stand alone Wordpress pages with their own keywords? What are the pros/cons of using anchor links versus stand alone Wordpress pages?

For example, wouldn’t Google prefer and better digest a separate page titled “Practices” that had keywords for our main law practice areas? Having everything on one page would seem to limit keyword optimization/customization.

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...
