Hi, Sorry i missed your response,
I think in general terms rather then me listing everything here, you should follow Patrick's advice as a start and come back once your done with all that as you will have a much improved base for further adjustment.
SEO is not a quick process, it can take months to get a good foundation if not longer, so keep that in mind when your making changes.

Thank you so much bro it's huge help from you I am start working on these pages Thanks once again.

Hi there
I would take a look at the on-site SEO link I sent over in my last comment. There is a lot of room for optimization on your website. Specifically look at:
- Title tags - Utilize branding in your titles and clean up keyword over optimization.
- URL structure - You have index.php in every one of your URLs.
- Internal linking - You link to your homepage a LOT on your Services page. Also, when you click the Services drop down and go down to Events, you can click any of the items in the sub navigation - this is a terrible user experience and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Also, take a look at Information Architecture for SEO.
- Content audit - Your Fleet page has nothing on it.
- Backlink audit - Your metrics are pretty low in Majestic and it looks like there has been some pretty spammy link building done in the past - most of your links are from ccTLD (which makes no sense because you do business in the Bay Area, not Australia or Eastern Europe) and directories. Run through those and remove toxic, spammy, or irrelevant links.
Lastly, and this is super important to fix, you have multiple websites for your business with duplicate content:
All of which point links to www.bassilimousineservice.com. Delete these sites, run through the backlinks, remove links to these sites that are toxic and update good links to point to www.bassilimousineservice.com. This is a major reason your site is probably not performing well for certain local searches - lots of spam going on.
I would prioritize this by deleting these duplicate sites & removing or updating links, doing on-site cleanup and optimization for Bassi Limousine Service, and then build citations through Moz Local or Whitespark. You have a long road in front of you, but this will all help you in the long run.
Hope this all helps! Good luck!

A couple of improvements i can suggest straight off:
You need to redirect all non-www traffic to www. or vice versa. Currently so far as google can see, you have 2 different websites, one on http://bassilimousineservice.com/ and one on http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/
Your URL structure needs to be improved,for example: http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/index.php/services/rates.html
Should be something like: http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/services/rates

I have created a simple website, but one of the panels moves
All right, I've created a simple website (http://fontvilla.com) and I have had a problem for personal reasons. When you execute the code below and see the whiteboard at the right-hand side labeled as the.newsLetter and change the screen size, it moves away unlike that I have just floated right above. But if I float this one right then it floats to the middle of the screen, so works as I want it. In order to do that, I am going to make this reactive, and need to have it like the one above. You got a fix...?? Help, please! Thank you.

More pages on website better for SEO?
Hi all, Is creating more pages better for SEO? Of course the pages being valuable content. Is this because you want the user to spend as much time as possible on your site. A lot of my competitors websites seem to have more pages than mine and their domain authorities are higher, for example the services we provide are all on one page and for my competitors each services as its own page. Kind Regards, Aqib

Best Practices: Different Phone Numbers on the Same Website
Since 2006 www.nyc-officespace-leader.com has promoted my commercial real estate brokerage business. I have been the sole broker listed on the site. As a result, the same phone number has appeared consistently throughout the site. Now I will be adding a colleague to the site (in addition to me) and I am struggling with how to best display my colleague's phone number. The 2nd broker will be adding property listings and blog posts. It was agreed that my phone number would be replaced by my colleagues phone number on his listings and blog posts. Pages that existed before would remain with my phone number. The idea being that leads generated by the 2nd broker's new content get directed to him rather than me. My concern is that having a new phone number listed will introduce an inconsistent phone number and harm our local SEO. I have read that it is absolutely critical that NAP (name, address, phone number) must be 100% consistent otherwise it can cause harm search engine ranking. What are best practices for displaying different phone numbers for different personnel on the same website without harming local SEO efforts? This situation is certainly common, so I would think there must be some work arounds. I have seen "Contact" icons that when clicked show phone numbers. Is there any standard solution for this issue that keeps NAP data consistent? Also, what if we keep the same number in the header but use different numbers in other locations? Is the header a location where we should be extra careful to display the same phone number? Thanks,

Migrating to new website with new name and new content
Hi for the past few years I have been running a personal training company from the following domain name www.smpt.me. This has done well in the past and so has some authority in google as it was ranking well on page 1. Over the last 6 months I have set up a new website with some new business partners using the domain name www.healthbyscience.co.uk. This new website, whilst still a personal training website, has different content to the original. We want to use the new website rather than the old one and therefore my question is how I can use the old website to assist with the new website. Thanks

Comparing oddities between two websites
I've been working on SEO for a local website for a few years, last year a new competitor has popped up and started kicking my tail. So I figured I would pose the question and see if someone could point me in a different more helpful direction. I'm mainly stumped as to why the newer competitor has a higher DA and PA when I look at his link profile and lack of website content. A few Comparison notes Competitor is using SSL on the entire site. I am not (Checkmark for him) Competitor has a spam score of 8 out of 17 I have a 1 out of 17 (Checkmark for me) Competitor has a DA of 18 - My DA is 17 (Checkmark for him) Competitor has a PA of 32 - My PA is 28 (Checkmark for him) My Established Link Domains 14 and 127 Links. Also the PA and DA of my external links are much better than the competitor. Competitor has Established Link Domains 9 and 30 Links Also the PA and DA of my external links are much better than the competitor. (Checkmark for me) I have created around 50 custom blog articles along with the pages on my site he has 0 and only 5 pages indexed by Google. (Checkmark for me) The major issue when I do a comparison on OSE is that he has more external links and external equity passing links even though the links are very low value.

Query results being indexed and providing no value to real estate website - best course of action?
Hi friends, I have a real estate website that has thousands of these type of query results pages indexed - http://search.myrealestatewebsite.com/l/43453/New_York_City_Rentals?per=100&start=159 What would be the best course of action to ensure those do not get indexed, as most provide no value whatsoever. 1. I'm limited to what I can do in the IDX, but I do believe I can modify the URL parameters for the website in Webmaster tools? Would this be correct? What would my parameter look like? 2. I have a webmaster tools for the website, then also the subdomain, which one would I submit the url parameter, or both?

Rebranding a Website to a new Domain Name
Hi All, I'm looking to rebrand my current website to a new domain name.
Local Website Optimization | | Mark_Ch
In short the current website has out grown it's potential. The domain name is not memorable nor is it attracting a wider audience.
I will create my new website and 301 redirect the old website to the new, hence pass SEO value. Google Places
Having spoken to Google they tell me that I can simply change the URL in Google Places to the new URL. Articles on my current website
I have a number of rich content articles on my current website, can I simply create my new website and copy & paste these previously written articles? Google+, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
What should I do for accounts associated with the current website? Any other useful information would be much appreciated. Regards Mark0
