SEO - Google Local Listing & Same Day Delivery
-
Hi
We are looking to offer same day delivery if you're in a 20 mile radius to us. I'm trying to do some research on how to optimise this for Google organic listings.
Would this be the same as optimising for a local business listing?
I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!

Great thank you.
I haven't looked into local optimisation before so this helps!

Hey Becky,
I would optimise the main 'delivery' page on the website to account for these terms.
If you have a whole bunch of products, I'm guessing there's a small snippet of information on each page that mentions delivery options? I would amend the delivery snippet on every page (hopefully you can do this quickly in the CMS) to mention 'same day delivery'.
This way, when someone searches for a particular product with 'same day delivery' in their search query, product pages will likely show higher in search results because it's mentioned on the page itself.
Hope this helps,
Sean

This is really helpful thank you.
We do have a huge range of products, so it would be hard to choose just one.
Would this be a case of still optimising the delivery page?

Hey Becky,
I would say to check out the competition for this - for example, search for 'same day delivery {your business service}' into Google and see what comes up.
An example search on my screen turned up a bunch of local retailers that have optimised their '/delivery-information' pages to shout about the 'same day delivery' option. Almost all of the top 10 mentioned their 'same day delivery' option within their page title and meta description also, with a couple of them featuring the whole 'same-day-delivery' term within their URL.
If you're going for the local searches such as 'same day delivery {your business service} in {location}', then I would recommend writing a section about the delivery option within each of the location pages for search engines to pick up. It wouldn't hurt to mention this within their page titles and meta descriptions also.
I hope that helps!
Sean

Google Cache
So, when I gain a link I always check to see if the page that is linking is in the Google cache. I've noticed recently that more and more pages are actually not showing up in Google's cache, yet still appear in search results. I did read an article from someone whoo works at Google a few weeks back that there is sometimes an error with the cache and occasionally the cache will not display. This week, my own website isn't showing up in the cache yet I'm still ranking in SERP's. I'm not worried about it, mostly whitehat, but has there been any indication that Google are phasing out the ability to check cache's of websites?

Google loves me. Yahoo and Bing not so much...
My site is ranked very high for my keywords on Google and Google Maps. But we come in 4 or 6 places lower on the other two search engines. Does any one have any pointers on the different types of algorithms they use? Many thanks in advance:)

Google Page Rank?
We have had a quality website for 12 years now, and it seems no matter how many more links we get and how much new content we add daily, we have stayed at PR3 for the past 10 years or so. Our SEOMoz domain authority is 52. We have over 950,000 pages linking to us from 829 unique root domains. Is this in line with PR3 or should we be approaching PR4 soon? We do daily blog posts with all unique, fresh quality content that has not been published elsewhere. We try to do everything with 'white hat' methods, and we are constantly trying to provide genuine content and high quality products, and customer service. How can we improve our PR and how important is PR today?

How Google Determines Sitelinks
Does anyone have authoritative information on how Google determines which links to use as sitelinks? I thought I saw that Top Landing Pages was a metric Google used (in part).

Google changing case of URLs in SERPs?
Noticed some strange behavior over the last week or so regarding our SERPs and I haven't been able to find anything on the web about what might be happening. Over the past two weeks, I've been seeing our URLs slowly change from upper case to lower case in the SERPs. Our URLs are usually /Blue-Fuzzy-Widgets.htm but Google has slowly been switching them to /blue-fuzzy-widgets.htm. There has been no change in our actual rankings nor has it happened to anyone else in the space. We're quite dumbfounded as to why Google would choose to serve the lower case URL. To be clear, we do not build links to these lower case URLs, only the upper. Any ideas what might be happening here?
