bigapplehead for removing reviews?

Has anyone had experience with this company for removing reviews on GMB? I’m currently trying to dispute a malicious one-star review, possibly left by a competitor. Not only do I not recognize the reviewer’s name, but they also misrepresented my industry and the services I provide. I’ve responded to the review professionally, flagged it, and escalated the issue to Google, but they ultimately refused to remove it. My business is new, and this is currently the only review on my page. I’m now considering hiring a company to help remove it and came across BigAppleHead. Is it legit? submitted by /u/BlessedNdDistressed [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/Hi3Sk0r

Change of address in GSC

Hey folks, I recently had my developer migrate my site to a new URL and noticed a slight drop in domain authority. After some digging, I realized I hadn’t used the “change of address” feature in Google Search Console. As a result, Google was still prioritizing the old domain and focusing on some of the 301 redirects. Lesson learned: if you’re switching to a new domain, don’t forget to update the address in GSC to make sure it knows what to prioritize in the SERP. submitted by /u/skivertical [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/SQdUcw0

HTTPS Issue

Sometimes when I search for my website on Google, the search results display the Url with “https,” which is correct. However at other times, the results show “http” instead. when I click on the link, it always redirects to the “https” version of the site. Why is this happening? submitted by /u/Mrreddituser111312 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/UWpPVx3

97.9K pages indexed. Is this too much?

I made a website that gathers the main contests and hackathons of different categories to ease the process of finding them. I thought positioning my site for keywords like "[category] contests & hackathons in [city]" would be a great idea. However there are lots of categories and cities so the combination of both resulted in thousands of pages being generated. Is this a good idea or will it have unexpected results? submitted by /u/Nols05 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/SlVAicT

Siteground blocking Ahrefs crawl bots?

Have any other Siteground/Ahrefs customers here seen this? Just last week all the sites I host at Siteground started showing 202 errors on Ahrefs reports. Google sees the pages just fine and both SemRush and Screaming Frog do not report any problems. I contacted Ahrefs support. They replied very quickly but did not see any problems from their end, suggesting the I may have some setting on my site blocking access. (I checked and so not.) I also contacted Siteground support who also replied very quickly. After they looked into it they informed me that, "some of the more aggressive bots are either blocked or heavily rate-limited on our servers." Do any of you find that the Ahrefs crawl bots are too aggressive for your hosts? I may need to switch from Ahrefs to SemRush which would be a pain since I recently got a paid subscription to Ahrefs after looking at both. submitted by /u/OldDawg-NewTricks [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO ...

How to type up filenames with initialism?

How should I write filenames with initialism (eg. D. F. Johnson) so they're appropriately ranked? Should I go: d_f_johnson df_johnson, or dfjohnson for the best SEO results? Also the website is called D. F. Johnson, if that makes any difference.
