Hi Jonathan,
In taking a brief look at your website, I see that you are not giving equal treatment to your 2 locations. Your Austin address is the only one appearing in the site footer and neither address is appearing on your contact page. If you have a unique address and local area code phone number for each location, it's vital that you list them both, in addition to creating unique content on the site revolving around the 2 locations, getting Google Places/Google+ Local pages for the 2 locations (with address likely hidden) and engaging in other work like linkbuilding. Right now, 'Denver' appears like an afterthought on the website. If you've got 2 locations, they both deserve full treatment.

I've had a look at your existing target Denver page (assuming it's http://www.photojennette.com/topics/denver-wedding-photography/). It's currently set to noindex, instructing Google not to index the page.
Change that first and foremost.
Secondly, I see this is essentially a category page, which is great because the content is likely to change frequently. But I would recommend getting some static content on there in addition to this. It should be specific to Denver and actually of use to people. Maybe a list of Denver wedding venues you have previously photographed, an address of an office you have or can use in Denver etc etc, maybe a guide to some of the better known Denver wedding venues.
Good luck!

Im thinking you can create a denver page. I know you think that having these big images on the home page is what people want to see but I'm sure you can do a lot better by adding a form on the home page and get more leads. I can wireframe something out for you if you want.
Thinking - You can have both your denver office and austin office on the home page. On the Austin Page - have your address and number on the bottom. On your Denver Page, have your phone number and address there for just your denver location.
Make it easier for people to contact you. Also, your page is kind of slow.
I think this will do you wonders: http://wordpress.org/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button-for-images/
By the way, I love your font.

Get more relevant Denver photography links to your Denver pages.
That will help you rank for Denver.
If you have two locations do you also have two studio?

Why is this page ranking #2?
Hello, I am hoping someone can shed a bit of light on why this page http://www.leveragerx.com/physician-mortgages is ranking #2 for "physician loans"? It isn't optimized for that keyword and PA is only 1, DA is 9. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Link juice from links that are not on the page?
Hello, Thank you in advance for your help! I was doing research for backlinking opportunities by looking at competitor backlinks using Open Site Explorer and I ran into a puzzle. When I do an Open Site Explorer search for http://whatsdavedoing.com/ I find that link equity is being passed to the site from a number of pages on the http://www.travelsupermarket.com/ blog with the anchor text "What's Dave Doing" When I go to these pages and do a source code search I cannot find this anchor text. When I do a google search with the following: site:travelsupermarket.com "What's Dave Doing" I find that there are tons of items that come back with a list of blogs in their description: "Dec 5, 2013 - ... foXnoMad · Inside The Travel Lab · itravelnet · The Mad Traveler Blog · The Mad Traveler Online · Uncornered Market · What's Dave Doing?" Where is this coming from? What is going on here? Is this a linking tactic that sites use to pass link juice to contributors without linking to them directly? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Alexa Rank
Ok, I have a pretty good Alexa Ranking of 159K and have been online for less than a year. What my question is why is my Alexa Ranking so much better than all of my competitors who get way more traffic and have been online for years. The only thing that seems to be going slow is my page rank is still barely .98, while competitors are higher although they have lower Alexa Rank. What am I doing right to get good Alexa Rank?? What can I do to rais my PR and Domain Rank? Competitors for example

How can stale, poor quality sites rank above fresh, high quality sites?
Dear Community, How is it that a Google search for temperature sensors shows the second result as site **A **(http://goo.gl/zRS1L) in a higher positionthan site B (http://goo.gl/3Xy2O) which is on the 2nd page of the SERPs. Site A blatantly does not follow Google's webmaster guidelines and recommendations for design, content or code. Site B scores an 'A' for on page analysis using SEOmoz, it also has a much higher number of root domains in and Moz rank, we have checked that site B has only quality inbound links, and anchor text is natural, it follows Google's guidelines for content and code diligently, and it is on an older domain. We are satisfied that site B has not been penalised by Google, e.g Penguin algorithm updates. We have also done a website verification with Google. Site B has fresher content compared to site A. Site B also has a sitemap yet site A doesn't. We're satisfied that we can rule out the following Algorithm Factors: Penguin algorithm updates Google Notified penalties Dodgy Inbound links Dodgy Anchor text Website verification with Google Fresh vs. static content Sitemap present Server Speed Server location Domain age and about 170 other algorithm factors Does anyone have any ideas as to why site A is ranking higher than site B in Google.co.uk? Thanks in advance. CD.

Competitor's Ranking's Reports are Showing Blank Values for Rankings
When selecting competitors to see how they rank for specific terms in the ranking's report page here, it loads the page normally, but without any actual rankings. Where values should be, it lists all values as our competition not ranking whatsoever (for all competitors). I'm not sure if there is something we're doing wrong, or perhaps we just need to wait for a refresh, but if anybody could help out, that would be wonderful!

Internal linking structure
Hello, Is there a way to see the most anchor text of a sites internal linking structure, that is not mine. For example how many times a competitor used the anchor text "door" on their site. Not external links though, just the internal ones. Thank you, Ada

What's the best way to make sure a link is worth getting?
I know what tools to use and I use all of SEOmoz's tools daily. PA, DA, MR, & MT are all things I take into account, but sometimes all you have to do is look at a site and you can tell it's not worth it. I'll analyze the page's backlink's and everything in between. Are there any tricks out there that can help the decision making process? I'm tired of trying to get links on sites that clearly are not worth it, but all of their stats say otherwise. So do you stick with stats, or is it a judgement call? I'm particularly curious about determining the amount of possible traffic from a link. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
