Yelp SEO in action
-
Please help me figure out how come E Appliance Repair Yelp page pops out every time I search Google for next keywords: Dacor repair Los Angeles, Miele repair Los Angeles, Sub Zero repair Los Angeles, and others like those? What direction do I need to move in to get close to those results? Any advise will be highly appreciated!

Sure, thank you!

Hey There!
Like others on this thread, I'm not seeing the same results you are for those search terms. Yelp is one of the top ranking directories for many brand and service searches, so having it rank highly is not unusual. It's possible for a Yelp result to outrank a website if the website isn't very strong. As for how to build up your own rankings, please check out our Local SEO checklist. Everything on that list will help you compete and, hopefully, begin to surpass weaker competitors. You'll want to audit both your own business and that of any competitors for a complete picture. Hope this helps!

I guess, geolocation plays a role? I am in the part of Los Angeles where they operate. So, they probably optimized their content this way somehow? I still can not understand why is that their Yelp page that shows up while entering the query, not the website?

Interestingly, I'm not seeing E Appliance Repair's Yelp listing in the results for any of those keywords.
Is it possible you're seeing personalized results? Have you tried searching in an incognito window? -
I think this company's Yelp page shows rating review stars in the organic search because it has really many positive reviews. Looks like they used black hat Yelp optimization though Yelp claims there is no way to do so. What I cannot understand is why E Appliance Repair Yelp page shows up every time I enter mentioned queries... I have another company that implemented successful SEO, http://www.ez-appliancerepair.com. They rank really high for the same keywords, but this is their website that has been heavily optimized. My website is http://www.ifixappliancesla.com, it doesn't perform well at the moment.

Hi there, are you asking why does this particular Yelp page shows rating review stars in the organic search results -- and how you can get your rating review stars to show for your Yelp page for these same queries, too -- or something else? In addition to clarifying your question, it would be great if you could share a few screenshots and/or URLs that show us how your Yelp page (and/or website) is performing for these same queries, compared with E Appliance Repair. Thanks!

Advanced SEO - Locations vs Service Areas
Hi we have a Roofing business that has an office "corporate headquarters" in Lincoln Nebraska- We have also setup service areas or "address locations" in other states and cities we service. The remote addresses we have are through the UPS store locations giving us an address in the areas- Knowing that Google GMB wants us to list these as service locations and not physical addresses- they have told me directly we are setup okay with separate GMB pages for each location- they say we just need to "hide" the addresses in GMB. Question: If we "hide" the local address on "all" of the local listings how will this affect the local SEO? It seems like not having a physical office will hurt the local presence- or moreso- having an actual office will help it? Can anyone give input and opinion of setting up "Service Areas" vs "Locations" as it relates to SEO and SERP placement? Many thanks in advance.

RICHMOND TX 77407 But local businesses seem to have the West and South written out: 7301 West Grand Parkway SouthRichmond, TX 77407Is there a best practice for this, or does it not make much of a difference as long as the website/local listings all match exactly? Not sure about writing out "West" or using "S." for the cardinal direction.0 -
Yext Power Listings and SEO Question...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone that has used Yext's Power Listings has experienced any negative (or positive) organic SEO results. As you know if you've used Yext, it creates a ton of links from directories. I think they're mainly no-follow links, but wanted to check if anyone has had experience (either good, bad, or neutral) regarding impact on organic results. Thanks.

Transferring SEO services from one agency to another - troubles, concerns, etc.?
Hey Moz Community, I have a friend I'm asking for who has an agency and will be taking over SEO from another agency. One thing that worries me is that the agency has confirmed dozens of locations in Google Places (about 60-100) for this business. How would you transfer Google Places ownership (assuming they cooperate)? Could the previous agency delete these listings? If so, how would that affect Local SEO? For example, the location and phone number is already on the website. Isn't that good enough for all of these locations (about 100)? I hope this is clear; please let me know if not. I would be interested in hearing any other feedback about moving agencies. Thanks, Cole

We've never worked in this country, but we are willing to outsource to get a little help. I am looking for some smaller SEO companies in or nearby Zurich. Does anyone have any ideas? We are looking for companies who can charge fair prices. I'm not sure how expensive the Swiss market is for SEO, but I'd love some insight. Can anyone help me?
