        As a digital marketing specialist in Palakkad, I believe it's hard to identify a single "best SEO expert in the world" since there are numerous industry leaders like Neil Patel, Rand Fishkin, and Brian Dean. However, when it comes to local SEO expertise, understanding the specific market is key.

          SEO is a big concept and a field where many SEO experts have had exceptional careers in SEO. As per my knowledge some of the most recognized SEO Experts globally are,
          Neil Patel – Known for his blogs, tools (Ubersuggest)
          Brian Dean – At Backlink he is the founder and is known for his SEO strategies.
          Rand Fishkin – Co-founder of Moz and SparkToro,

                                        Determining the "best" SEO expert in the world is subjective and can vary depending on individual opinions, industry recognition, and contributions to the field. Several SEO experts have gained widespread recognition for their knowledge, experience, and impact on the industry. Some notable names include Rand Fishkin, Neil Patel, Brian Dean, and Danny Sullivan. These experts have established themselves through their work, publications, speaking engagements, and contributions to the SEO community. However, it's essential to recognize that expertise in SEO is constantly evolving, and new voices and talents continue to emerge in the field.

                                          This is a difficult one to answer, as there are so many good SEO experts, however, our Cardiff seo company has been reading seo blog posts and SEO news now for over 10 years, in that time, we are huge fans of Barry Schwartz, he is amazing and passionate about what he does.

                                                    Neil Patel, Bruce Clay, Barry Schwartz, Rand Fishkin are some of the best. There are many more out there that specialize in different areas of SEO but to get accurate information I usually turn to them even though I have been doing this for 27 years myself you can never learn enough.

                                                        I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

                                                        Hi SEO expertises! I am currently working with a client that initially have an English website targeting UK users but want to expand their market into four new regions (Europe, America, APAC and EMEI) keeping English as a main language. I would like to request your help here as I told the client ISO location and hreflang it will be just possible per language and they must need to localise each English region with local keywords, however I would like to double check if it will be any way (Sitemap, Hreflang) we can tell Google we are targeting per region and not per country? Thanks a lot!

                                                        How to best set up international XML site map?

                                                        Hi everyone, I've been searching about a problem, but haven't been able to find an answer. We would like to generate a XML site map for an international web shop. This shop has one domain for Dutch visitors (.nl) and another domain for visitors of other countries (Germany, France, Belgium etc.) (.com). The website on the 2 domains looks the same, has the same template and same pages, but as it is targeted to other countries, the pages are in different languages and the urls are also in different languages (see example below for a category bags). Example Netherlands:
                                                        Dutch domain: www.client.nl 
                                                        Example Dutch bags category page: www.client.nl/tassen Example France:
                                                        International domain: www.client.com 
                                                        Example French bags category page: www.client.com/sacs When a visitor is on the Dutch domain (.nl) which shows the Dutch content, he can switch country to for example France in the country switch and then gets redirected to the other, international .com domain. Also the other way round. Now we want to generate a XML sitemap for these 2 domains. As it is the same site, but on 2 domains, development wants to make 1 sitemap, where we take the Dutch version with Dutch domain as basis and in the alternates we specify the other language versions on the other domain (see example below). <loc>http://www.client.nl/tassen</loc>
                                                        <xhtml:link<br>rel="alternate"
                                                        hreflang="fr"
                                                        href="http://www.client.com/sacs"
                                                        /></xhtml:link<br> Is this the best way to do this? Or would we need to make 2 site maps, as it are 2 domains?

                                                        What are the best practices for translation of city/state names for international SEO? (ie. New York in English vs. Nueva York in Spanish)

                                                        I'm working on international SEO / translation of a global travel site. While we have a global keyword research and translation strategy in process for each market they serve, I've run into a unique question. Overall, we are translating (and localizing) content for each market but aren't sure what to do with location names. Each country/state has cities and locations that have their own dedicated pages. I see three options for these location names (when titling a page and writing content):  keep them in English, translate the names in the market languages, or use a combination of the two. The challenge with altering the location names to the market languages is that they are truly not known by those names. Though there are some instances where it may make sense…for instance **New York **in Spanish would be "Nueva York" with **‘**Nueva' being the Spanish translation of ‘new’. There are other instances, where no translation exists. If you’ve had a similar experience I'd love to hear your approach/recommendation.

                                                        Hi All, I was wondering how best to to approach optimisation of a site that exists on a single .com domain, but has different subfolders for different languages. The site is a .com and it has subfolders for French, Spanish, Russian and English.  The business is situated in France and the vast majority of clients are French and English speakers. I've read that it's possible to geo target these subfolders using webmaster tools however I believe this is an inferior method of optimisation than having tld's.  Just wondered if anyone had experience of htis and could provide any advice ?   As they won't be rebuilding the site for another year or so I wondered if there were any quick wins? My second question is to do with how best to set these campaigns up within SEO Moz. would it be better to track at a subdomain or subfolder leverl (for different languages)? If someone could advise I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, vantresca
