Google news and Yoast News
-
Hi,
I have a blog, I want to send my blog to Google news with the plugin "Yoast news".
If I'll change the meta-title and ill keep the title of the post as is, for example:
Meta-title (yoast) - TEXT for Search engines | My Brand name
Post tilte - for users - TExT For Users and BlaBlathere is a problem? the title of the page and the title of the meta should be same for Google NEWS?

Hi John
The best I can offer you from here is to experiment. Try some news that match perfectly (I wouldn't include the brand in your H1, however - regardless of what Google says) and try some that vary.
Measure your performance and CTR for each and see how they compare. Which set out performed the other?
I would also look into creating a news sitemap (https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/74288?hl=en) and look into NewsArticle schema (https://schema.org/NewsArticle). Both help you define your title better for crawlers.
Let me know if you have any more questions!

Hi John
Yes, if your meta title and H1 are different, that's fine.
Hope this helps - good luck!

I don't care about Google/optimiztion. I want the best for Google News.
If I'll add my brand to meta title, the title will be different from the H1 (post title) it's okay?

This is actually a pretty long-standing debate. It actually came up on Q&A pretty recently. Let me know if this helps at all.

Hi Thanks!
I just read this article: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-news-titles-h1-19876.html
Google want the same title. no problem. but what about the brand? | My Brand
is it good idea to add it? -
Hi there
For me, I think your meta titles should be something that is truthful, quick, and easy for crawlers to read and understand what the article is about, while also being interesting enough for users to click. It should contain important and relevant keywords or ideas.
When it comes to the post title that your users will read on the article, I would make it more editorial and enticing, while still speaking true to the content in the article.
Both need to be interesting enough for users to click but you are able to have more fun with the post title itself, while being more targeted with the meta title as you are only allotted so much room.
You can read more about title tag best practices here as well as targeting headlines here. ShoutMeLoud also has some good thoughts on the subject as well.
Hope my thoughts helps - let me know if you have any more questions or comments! Good luck!

Google Places - Advanced Question
Hi All, Ive found multiple threads about previous issues but I haven't found any tailored to my specific question.I know there are a large amount of factors so I wanted to see if any other individuals had ran into this previously. We are currently in a centralized position in a major city. We are discussing moving the main office about 15 miles away into another city, moving us out of the main city where we have been for the past 3 years. The city where we are currently located has a lot more GEO search volume compared to the new city search terms and variants of. If we move will our local rankings drop when someone searches in the city where we were previously? How long would it take for this ranking to fall? Or would we still rank because we are moving a short distance away and have a large amount of citations there? I know we would need to change over all our online directories, on page etc..Any other suggestions on a smooth transition? I know there are many factors that go into this and any past experience, guidance and/or assistance is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Can Google index PDFs with flash?
Does anyone know if Google can index PDF with Flash embedded? I would assume that the regular flash recommendations are still valid, even when embedded in another document. I would assume there is a list of the filetype and version which Google can index with the search appliance, but was not able to find any. Does anyone have a link or a list?

I have several competitors here is one of them www.emergencycity.com when you type in their name it only come up as the first result. How did our SEO guys make this happen? I have another site tha when we type in the URL it only comes up as the first result. However when you do site:www.------.com All of these site are indexed in Google. It is not causing any problem we knoe of but it appears to me that our 1 site has it better? Or is it that maybe there are very minimal links to the site? Thank you for your time and consideration in answering my quesiton.

Removing a Page From Google index
We accidentally generated some pages on our site that ended up getting indexed by google. We have corrected the issue on the site and we 404 all of those pages. Should we manually delete the extra pages from Google's index or should we just let Google figure out that they are 404'd? What the best practice here?
