What is the problem with my site? Rankings are going down, not sure why.
-
Rankings for almost all the keywords are not improving and going down, not sure why.
Can anyone please suggest me what's wrong with my site and what can i do to improve the overall performance of the site.I would really appreciate your help.

I am not sure if you are using all the tools, Moz offers but here is something I looked at and took 5 minutes.
I used one of your keywords that you want to rank for - furniture movers melbourne
I then took from the SERP Analysis, the top two websites.
Then in the keyword analysis, I used your website domain and did entire root. THen added two of your competitor's websites. You will see all the keywords everyone ranks for. When you go to their websites, it seems they have a lot more content than you. Maybe start adding more content about the services built around your keywords.

Overall traffic is very less We need to improve the ranking of keywords so that we can get good traffic.
-
On my first look at traffic it seems that you are doing fine on desktop but not on mobile. Is that correct?
-
Hey, Would you share the keywords that you see dropping?
-
Always nice to be endorsed by someone, copying and pasting your content!

-
There is no major technical problem, most of the on-page stuff has already been done.
-
We are also doing SEO and keep an eye on competitors activities too.
-
There is no manual penalty. All things/factors in webmaster tool/search console is fine.
Do you see any on-page issue with the website?
-
-
Sounds like one of three things
1. On page/site technical problems
2. Your competitors have been doing some SEO work and started to outrank you
3. Algorithmic penalty (i.e. not manual, probably as a result of the Google update)
Check your search console for anything out the ordinary.

I used https://varvy.com/ to scan your site. This was done only for the front of site.
Here are some things it picked up that can help.
- Accessibility - No skip to main content, Alt text missing, Empty alt links found
- Image alt text - 30 images do not have alt text, 19 images links do not have alt text (they list what images)
- Sitemaps - No sitemap for users
- If modified since - Page does not to appear to support if modified since
Some questions I would ask are:
- Have you looked at your competitor's keywords and rankings?
- How long have you had the site up for?
These are some things I would look into. From viewing your page source code, looks like you are using Yoast. Do you have all green for each page?
Also looked at your Google My Business page and the last time a photo was uploaded to that was Oct 2016. You should be uploading photos more often on your Google Page.

Should I publish Amazon reviews on my own site/products? Do I need to worry about duplicate content or anything else?
I'm redesigning my site expected launch early January. I'll be selling some products that are currently are only available on Amazon; and those listings have thousands of very positive reviews. I'm seeing apps that are available that will sync reviews from my Amazon seller account listings to my products on-site. I'd love to start my site off with the great validation these reviews are sure to provide customers, but I wonder how concerned I need to be about duplicate content or any other cons.

Local pack ranking anomaly -- help?
At a bit of a loss on this one... If anyone has any ideas about what's going on or how to tackle this, I'm all ears. One of my clients, an orthodontist, is appearing in the top three organic positions and in the local pack for almost all keywords we're targeting. However, for the keyword "orthodontist" without any location modifiers attached to it, we're appearing in the top three organic results but our Google listing is not appearing in the local pack. The three listings appearing in the local pack are his next-door competitor, one practice that closed almost a year ago, and a practice in two towns over. He and his competitor are the only two orthodontists in this town, so they should theoretically be the two main listings that are being pulled in. The listing for the closed practice is marked as closed on Google and has been reported to Google several times in the last few months. The listing has no website or reviews on it, although it does have an address and a phone number. We have spent months doing aggressive, in-depth NAP/local listing cleanups. We have 24 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars, and we're organically gathering reviews every week. We went through a site redesign at the beginning of this year, so we now have a mobile responsive website. We are appearing in the local pack for almost every other keyword that we have high organic rankings for, so we know it isn't necessarily an issue with our Google My Business listing. Does anyone have any ideas of what's going on, or what we can do to get our listing to appear in the local pack for this keyword? The keyword "orthodontist" is the single most important keyword to this client and our strategy, so we're open to any and all suggestions or thoughts.

HomeTesterClub Ranking
Some of our searches are coming on the first page at Google, which is great (these are New Product Watch pages https://hometesterclub.com/au/en/Products/ ) https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Kettle+Popcorn+Salted+Caramel+review https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Coca-Cola+Ginger+review https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Herbert+Adams+review .. and yet some (particularly Home Tested Section https://hometesterclub.com/au/en/HomeTested/ ) have very poor results, ie no where to be found: https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=hydralyte+sports+review https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Rafferty%27s+Garden+review https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Purina+Beneful+Medley+review .. we are often either nowhere to be found, even if we have hundreds of reviews for these products… and seem to be often beaten to the punch by the likes of: www.productreview.com.au / www.influenster.com / www.mouthsofmums.com.au do you think that these other sites just have more sites linking to them, and so stronger natural page ranking? Any insight would be helpful..

Why Isn't Product Schema Showing Up for my Ecom Site?
Hello, I work with two ecommerce sites and we've implemented product and review schema back in mid-May. Since implemented, I've seen some of the product prices and review stars start to show up in Google, however, now it seems to be long gone. I've tested sample URLs in Google's rich snippet testing tool and no errors come up and it looks like we have all the required components needed for each schema type. I know Google doesn't for sure show schema, but these sites are a decent size and trustworthy enough where I think they would be showing it. Does anyone have an idea on what I'm missing? Have you experienced something like this? Thanks in advance.

Traffic drop: site move from .co.uk to .info
Hi On 1st June we moved http://www.patient.co.uk to http://patient.info. We are a trusted health website so the information is relevant to all english speaking countries. (Content on the .co.uk domain has been there for over 15 years). Prior to the move over 60% of site traffic was international, even with a .co.uk domain. The intention of the move was to broaden our international reach/traffic whilst maintaining our UK traffic. We would do this as .info is a top level domain. We followed all of the best practice rules, 301s, new and old sitemaps, change of address in webmaster tools etc. Basically all the advice here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6033049?hl=en&ref_topic=6033084&rd=1 We specifically chose on the new domain to leave "unlisted" under webmaster tools international targeting as the content is relevant for all countries. This is the only thing that has changed compared to the previous settings. The URL structure etc is all identical, just on a different domain. After the move we immediately saw a drop in c.60% of traffic. Over the first 5 weeks after the move we had initial gradual recovery (c.2% increase on traffic week on week) Since then it has completely flatlined with no traffic increase. So we are sat at c.50% less traffic than we did have before the move. Worryingly over the past 2 weeks, the indexed results for patient.info have dropped from c.2M to c.500k (https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=site%3Apatient.info) There were c.6M indexed results for patient.co.uk before the move, this has been gradually shrinking and there are now c.300k indexed results (https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=site:patient.co.uk) In webmaster tools crawl stats, .co.uk is still being crawled like crazy, much more than .info. It feels like we have followed the rules but something is missing and that the new site just isn't being fully indexed or as highly ranked as the old site. Anyone who has any input/advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks Ben

How to display reviews from review sites on your own website?
Is there a good way to display reviews that people have left on sites like Yelp, City Search, Google, etc on your own website without triggering duplicate content issues? It's hard to get reviews, so I'd like to make the most out of the ones that I get.

Is it me? Or is the spam getting worse on professional social networking sites?
Just curious and obviously not a highly technical or highly SEO question, but I keep getting inundated with people who do not know me, don't know anyone I know, etc. but on the largest professional networking site that you can Link to others on, I am ready to end my membership. The vast majority are staffing, recruiting, and outsourcing firms. The settings are such that when pointing out how you know someone you are wanting to connect to, there is one that does not require you to have worked with them, gone to school with them, or done business with them, and that is "Friend." On the others if you don't meet one of the requirements above you must put that party's email address, but on "Friend" if the person wanting to contact you says they are your friend, magically they are. Do you think that for things like this, most people don't mind the spam and say "Ignore" the request, or just "accept" because having 500+ on their profile is so cool? Also, when you look at the endorsements others have given, do you care? do you believe they add validity? Do you believe most people fail to look beyond and consider who is endorsing them and whether or not that person works in a field that has been endorsed? I am really curious as to what Mozzers (the coolest group of people on the planet) think. Best,
