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

Using the Onpage Grader for Local Business websites
Hey Guys, Curious how people use the onpage grader for optimizing pages for local businesses specifically, I'm interested if people use keywords with or without a geo modifier since adding a geo modifier will prevent more natural writing to increase the score. If you don't use a geo modifier do you have some general rules of the city that needs to be in the H1 and first paragraph etc. Any tips for using the page grader for local businesses would be great Thanks!

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.

Local SEO Over Optimization
We are targeting a bunch of services for our local business that works in and around their location. I'm concerned about over optimization and need some guidance on whether these points should be resolved. The company is based in a city and works mostly in the city but also in the surrounding areas. Currently, the site has 6 services pages (accessible via main nav) targeting the same location i.e. “Made Up Service London”, “Imaginary Service London” (with URLs and H1 tags etc. in place containing this location). However this is soon going to become 9 services pages, I am concerned that the repetition of this one location is starting to look spammy, especially as its where the company is based. Initially, I also wanted pages targeting the same services in other nearby areas. For example “Made Up Service Surrey”, “Imaginary Service Essex”. This has not happened as the info available has been too sporadic. I was going to add links to relevant case studies into these pages to beef up the content and add interest. To that end, we came up with case studies, but after a while, I noticed that these are also largely focused on the primary location. So out of 32 case studies, we have 19 focused on the primary location again with URL’s and H1 tags etc containing the location keyword. So in total, we have 25 pages optimized for the location (soon to be 28 and more if further case studies are added). My initial feeling was that the inclusion of pages targeting services in other locations would legitimize what we have done with the main pages. But obviously we have not got these pages in place and I question whether we ever will. What is my best course of action moving forward?

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.

Internationalization: 2 Websites in English for different location?
Hi guys, My customer is already well established in France. They have a good Domain Authority and a lot of Inbound Links. They're doing very well in France. They're now looking at entering the US market, however, their trademark is already registered within the US. They therefore decided to go with a new name. Basically: They open an english-only website for the US presence They add English as a language on their French website for their European presence They'll therefore have two domains: aaa.com: US Presence bbb.com: European Presence; 2 languages: French & English My main reaction was that: since the content on aaa.com and bbb.com/english/ will be the same, they'll necessarily have Duplicate Content issue. How would you look at this? What would be the best alternative for them? Thank you

Subdomain for ticketing of a client website (how to solve SEO problems caused by the subdomain/domain relationship)
We have a client in need of a ticketing solution for their domain (let's call it www.domain.com) which is on Wordpress - as is our custom ticket solution. However, we want to have full control of the ticketing, since we manage it for them - so we do not want to build it inside their original Wordpress install. Our proposed solution is to build it on tickets.domain.com. This will exist only for selling and issuing the tickets. The question is, is there a way to do this without damaging their bounce rate and SEO scores?
Local Website Optimization | | Adam_RushHour_Marketing
Since customers will come to www.domain.com, then click the ticketing tab and land on tickets.domain.com, Google will see this as a bounce. In reality, customers will not notice the difference as we will clone the look and feel of domain.com Should we perhaps have the canonical URL of tickets.domain.com point to www.domain.com? And also, can we install Webmaster Tools for tickets.domain.com and set the preferred domain as www.domain.com? Are these possible solutions to the problem, or not - and if not, does anyone else have a viable solution? Thank you so much for the help.0
