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.

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:

• http://santaclara-limo.com/
• http://sanfranciscolimousine.ca/
• http://sjcsfooaklimousine.com/

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

Hi there

I found a few resources here:
Joomla SEO Checklist 5 Essential SEO Tips for Joomla You Must Know 5 Awesome Joomla SEO Plugins That Google Will Love

Since you are running a service, I would also check your local SEO and make sure that you audit your listings and citations. A couple of great services to help you with your local SEO include Moz Local and Whitespark - I suggest checking those out.

I would also look at your on-site SEO and make sure that you have all of your bases covered, taking advantage of all the opportunities that you can - there are a ton of great pointers and resources in that link.

Hope this helps a bit! Good luck!
