How to implement Featured Snippets
-
Hi ,
I want to achieve Featured Snippets for my client (http://www.theoriginalflame.com). Could you anyone help me on this ?
-
I'm glad those resources helped!
There are lots of things you can do. You can frequent forums or Facebook groups to see what your target audience are talking about. Start discussions on Twitter or other social platforms. You could also put some content live and see if it resonates.
I would recommend starting with this Whiteboard Friday on knowing your audience
https://moz.com/blog/know-what-your-audience-wants-before-creating-content-whiteboard-friday
And this one on more data driven audience analysis

Let me know how you get on
Cheers!

Thank you Jo.
I have added some question-based keywords in the campaign as suggested in the above blogs. Could you tell me how can one assess who is asking these questions?
-
Hi there!
The basic process involves:
- Researching and gathering questions that have featured snippets
- Assessing who is asking these questions
- Analyse your content and update it to clearly help people asking these questions
- Work on your on-page optimization and overall site authority to get within striking distance of Featured Snippets
I can definitely recommend reading up on the resources we have on this topic.
Dr Pete has written a great guide here:

https://moz.com/blog/ranking-zero-seo-for-answers
Ronell has written about how to win snippets here
https://moz.com/blog/featured-snippets-a-deadsimple-tactic-for-making-them-stick
We also have a guide to tracking SERP Features with Moz Pro here:
https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/rankings/serp-features
I hope this helps, if there is anything else I can help you with please do let me know
Cheers!
Jo

Help With Href Lang Implementation
Hi, We've received the following Href Lang errors in Google Search Console. After much research and playing around with the tags we're still no closer to fixing the issues. ERRORS; http://prntscr.com/du8ei8 AND http://prntscr.com/du8evi As you'll see, Google is telling us that some URLs do not have return tags, but they do seem to! Does anyone know of a pro that can provide a service to fix this for us? Many thanks in advance, Lee.

Rich Snippets - Easy Come / Easy Go!
Hi Guys, I've been trying like mad to get Rich Snippets (star ratings, price, availability)Â to show for product page results for www.evo.com. What's very strange is when I test my product page URLs in the Structured Data Testing Tool, the previews look great and the extracted data is what I'd expect. Â I am however getting "missing price" errors for every item in the Structured Data report in Webmaster Tools - which seems contradictory to what the testing tool shows. The error description says this can prevent Rich Snippets from showing. Â If anyone here could take a look at the schema.org/Offer markup on one of our product pages and see if they can see anything wrong with our price markup I would greatly appreciate it! The plot thickens.... What's even stranger is that when I submit product page URLs (that have reviews) to Google's index using Fetch as GoogleBot, the Rich Snippets appear - but then disappear sometime in the following day(s). Â The only thing I can think of is somehow my Merchant Center feed (which contains "product_review_count" and "product_review_average") which runs nightly is somehow 'breaking' the Rich Snippets that are generated after the page has been crawled. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Multiple Author Rich Snippets On A Q&A Forum Page
Hi, I work on a site that has a robust q&a forum. Members post questions and other members answer the questions. The answers can be lengthy, often by experts with Google+ pages and almost always by multiple member/commenters answering a particular question. Much like Moz's forum here. In order to get rich snippets results in search for a single Q&A page, what would happen if each of, for instance, 10 commenters on a page, were tagged as author? After all, the q/a forum pages have many authors, each as author of their own comments. Or, should I pick one comment out of many and call that member/commenter the author or something else? If it matters, the person asking the question in the forum is almost always not the expert providing a ton of detailed content. Also, a question might be 8 words. One answer might be 25 to 500 or more and their might be 5 to 10 different answers. Thanks! Cheers... Darcy

Rel="prev" and rel="next" implementation
Hi there since I've started using semoz I have a problem with duplicate content so I have implemented on all the pages with pagination rel="prev" and rel="next" in order to reduce the number of errors but i do something wrong and now I can't figure out what it is. the main page url is : alegesanatos.ro/ingrediente/ and for the other pages : alegesanatos.ro/ingrediente/p2/ - for page 2 alegesanatos.ro/ingrediente/p3/ - for page 3 and so on. We've implemented rel="prev" and rel="next" according to google webmaster guidelines without adding canonical tag or base link in the header section and we still get duplicate meta title error messages for this pages. Do you think there is a problem because we create another url for each page instead of adding parameters (?page=2 or ?page=3 ) to the main url alegesanatos.ro/ingrediente?page=2 thanks

How do you implement dynamic SEO-friendly URLs using Ajax without using hashbangs?
We're building a new website platform and are using Ajax as the method for allowing users to select from filters. We want to dynamically insert elements into the URL as the filters are selected so that search engines will index multiple combinations of filters. We're struggling to see how this is possible using symfony framework. We've used www.gizmodo.com as an example of how to achieve SEO and user-friendly URLs but this is only an example of achieving this for static content. We would prefer to go down a route that didn't involve hashbangs if possible. Does anyone have any experience using hashbangs and how it affected their site? Any advice on the above would be gratefully received.
