Moving across the Country
-
Hello folks this is my first time here after someone told me that if I wanted my Google business moved seamlessly to my new location it might be better if I had a service like Moz to handle it.
So now I'm here after signing up for the Moz Pro, whether I needed to or not I'm not even sure yet.So is this a thing I do myself or is this a thing that I pay moz to do for me this one time? Okay thanks for your help, John

@odonovj Moz Pro can certainly help your SEO efforts, so if you're targeting a new market with the move, then you can definitely utilize it well in terms of overtaking the local competitors in SERPs etc.

Hi John,Great decision on signing up for Moz Pro! It's a powerful tool. Here's the thing: Moz Pro mainly offers SEO tools that help improve your website's visibility, but it doesn't directly handle the management of your Google My Business listing.
If you're looking to update your Google My Business for a new location, you'd typically handle that directly through the Google My Business platform. It's a relatively straightforward process. However, Moz can be useful in analyzing and optimizing the SEO aspects of your online presence once that change is made.
If you're looking for assistance in handling this move seamlessly, consider reaching out to an eCommerce agency that offers local SEO services. They'll have the expertise to ensure your business listing is updated correctly and can make the most of tools like Moz.
Hope that clarifies things! Best of luck with the relocation.

What do I need to do for SEO when moving a business out of state?
Hello! So I have a business that I run out of a single location for the last 3 years. I am unfortunately having to move here in the next few weeks My question is what do I need to do in order to have the best chance at SEO for the new location? When should I make the changes? Does it take a long time for me to stop showing up in the previous location? and is there something I need to do to remove those? Also, is there an app or a website where I can find and update all listings at once or at least a bulk of them? I know that there are some weird sites that have my business info in them that I did not put there. Obviously these would have the wrong address. Some do not have a contact info or a way for me to log into them. What would I do with these sites? Thank you!

Google My Business marker/pin - Do I have control over moving it?
I am working with a country club. We opened the Google my business account and Moz Local. i think the developer/builder of the Country Club planned on the address being in different place than it is today. Do I have control over moving that marker on this massive property. Or, is this done at the city/county level? The marker isn't quite near the building or the true entrance to the country club.

Does business name capitalisation count when making sure you have the same NAP across all directories ?
We've got a UK company with a company name like the following "ABC cars" (3 letter capitalised name followed by a word). With the Thompson local directory (one of the top 10 uk directories for local NAPs (and listed as a direct partner in Moz Local)) they dont allow you to have multiple capitalised letters in a company name. As far as i can see there are a few options to get around this : A B C Cars Abc Cars abc Cars (or abc cars) But none of them are ideal, as they dont match the actual name as listed on all of sites 100% in terms capitalisation. Which one of the above (or other) would be the best solution ? Does capitalisation count when people say your NAP must match ?

Moving Locations and NAP
Hello, I am the new IT guy for a business that is moving. They have a ton of old NAP stuff for like 3 offices that they are no longer at and to be honest, the entire NAP is just a total chaotic mess. They did not keep a record of the accounts used to make the listings or anything of the sort. Now they want me to fix it all up. Does anyone have any suggestions on techniques for doing this? Is there a way to get these out of date listings closed or do I just simply make all new ones that are correct? Or is there something I am not thinking of? Thanks.

Google Local: When moving locations, is a new website/content needed?
I've effectively moved companies before, but I've heard that ranking locally in a competitive market after an address move it is necessary to redesign the entire website/content/domain as Google associates the old website/content/domain with the old location. Is this true? Does anyone have any direct experience with this? NOTE- I have updated citations across the internet and have regular social signals going to the new location, and this has been the case for almost 6 months now.

Targeting both Dutch countries .NL & .BE --> 2 ccTLD's using rel-alternate or just one TLD?
We want to target both Dutch countries .NL & .BE (Belgium & Netherlands).
Local Listings | | Brainlane
Should we go for the 2 ccTLD's using rel-alternate, or go for one TLD, .EU or similar? We currently have an SEO project going on where DNS.be & DNS.nl are equally important. Currently we are using the rel-alternate meta data. The .be website is doing fantastic, the .nl one seems stagnant and not really getting to target. For a similar project, we are now wondering whether we should go for the same approach, or just pick one TLD (.EU or similar). Note: we cannot create content that is regionally specific, since the content is just what it is and cannot be altered.0 -
Hosting in a foreign country!
If a client is based in New York, and looks to target customers is New York. Is it wise to have your hosting server located in another country? Will this affect being searched locally? I have heard this can affect local search optimisation?
