The company brand name does not show in SERP
-
Our company is ranking no.1 for brand keyword, however, when you try to find it by two words(with space between) then all those shows up and the website is nowhere to find.
Any suggestions on how to solve this without the need to be ranked for something related
-
Oh yes absolutely I hadn't caught that. That will certainly help you rank better but you should be sure that this is the branding you want. Branding may be the single most important aspect of your company, so lock it down and roll with it.
Good luck!

Well this is going to be tricky because Google will always want to rank sites that are most relevant to what it thinks users are searching for. I'd have to bet that 99.9% of searches done for "convert media" are looking to... convert some sort of media.
That means you're going to have to try and trick Google which is always dangerous. However you can probably do this while staying within Guidelines.
For example, I'm looking at your backlink profile and specifically at your anchor text hierarchy. Typically a domain's anchor text should be varied between the domain itself, the brand itself, images and variations of the former. Your anchor text profile does not have any links built with "Convert Media" as the anchor text. This is definitely a big part of why it isn't ranking for said keyword.
I see the words "ben stein" as the number two most linked to anchor text... What the what?! Ben Stein? As in, win Ben Stein's Money?? Also I see "contextin" as having the most links so I'm assuming you recently changed your domain and brand.
Anyway, I think the best thing you can do is change those (you should also get rid of any spam links you may have..) to your actual brand and domain and continue building more organic links.
Good luck!

Meta title not showing up correctly on SERP
We have an issue with some clients on a Wordpress CMS where title tags implemented on a Yoast SEO plugin for the Homepage are not coming up as we'd implemented them. However, the source code shows we'd implemented them correctly according to what we'd wanted.**For example, this is the title tag we implemented in the CMS:Towing Services Alberta | Jack's TowingSource code shows:Towing Services Alberta | Jack's TowingHowever, SERP results shows:**Jack's Towing | Towing Services Alberta This is not an issue with the rest of the other pages and there isn't a global template for our client's sites. It's perplexing that it's only happening on the Homepage and this is across for 3 of our clients' sites.Even more perplexing, recently we've noticed that SERP is only showing the client's business name as the title tag and this is across for 2 out of the 3 clients we'd mentioned above. Nothing has changed in the back-end.Would appreciate some insight on this issue!

Is it OK to include name of your town to the title tag or H1 tag on a blog to enhance local search results
I recently attended a webinar by ETNA Interactive on local search SEO. The presenter recommended including the name of your town in the title of the blog to increase local search SEO. Is this OK? Ive always been concerned that it is such an obvious attempt to rank locally that Google would consider it "spammy" ? black hat, "sketchy" or otherwise manipulative. Have the rules changed? Is it OK to do? Brooke

Is it better to include the secondary keyword or site name in a title tag?
When I add a site name to my title tag with long-tailed primary and secondary keywords the title tag is longer than 70 characters. I need to include all three parts, so what should I do? At 70 characters the site name is usually partially cut off. I do not want to get penalized by Google, but I need to include the site name to have consistency. I am using the format Primary Keyword-Secondary Keyword | Site name

Post Title - Use the blog's name or not?
In the tile of my post, shoudl I used my blog's name in it at the end or emit the blog name. EX: title of post with keywords | name of blog OR EX: title of post with keywords The site's name is 3 words long, so I'm worrying that those extra words are diluting the keywords in the post's name that I'm trying to target.
