SEO - Google Local Listing & Same Day Delivery
-
Hi
We are looking to offer same day delivery if you're in a 20 mile radius to us. I'm trying to do some research on how to optimise this for Google organic listings.
Would this be the same as optimising for a local business listing?
I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!

Great thank you.
I haven't looked into local optimisation before so this helps!

Hey Becky,
I would optimise the main 'delivery' page on the website to account for these terms.
If you have a whole bunch of products, I'm guessing there's a small snippet of information on each page that mentions delivery options? I would amend the delivery snippet on every page (hopefully you can do this quickly in the CMS) to mention 'same day delivery'.
This way, when someone searches for a particular product with 'same day delivery' in their search query, product pages will likely show higher in search results because it's mentioned on the page itself.
Hope this helps,
Sean

This is really helpful thank you.
We do have a huge range of products, so it would be hard to choose just one.
Would this be a case of still optimising the delivery page?

Hey Becky,
I would say to check out the competition for this - for example, search for 'same day delivery {your business service}' into Google and see what comes up.
An example search on my screen turned up a bunch of local retailers that have optimised their '/delivery-information' pages to shout about the 'same day delivery' option. Almost all of the top 10 mentioned their 'same day delivery' option within their page title and meta description also, with a couple of them featuring the whole 'same-day-delivery' term within their URL.
If you're going for the local searches such as 'same day delivery {your business service} in {location}', then I would recommend writing a section about the delivery option within each of the location pages for search engines to pick up. It wouldn't hurt to mention this within their page titles and meta descriptions also.
I hope that helps!
Sean

Fred Google Update & Ecommerce Sites
Hi I've seen a couple areas of our site drop in average rankings for some areas since the 'Fred' update. We don't have ads on our site, but I'm wondering if it's 'thin' content - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/ We are an ecommerce site and we have some content on our category pages - which is a bit more generic about the section/products within that section - but how can it not be if it's a category page with products on? I am working on adding topic based content/user guides etc to be more helpful for customers, but I'd love some advice on generating traffic to category pages. Is it better to rank these other topic/user guide pages instead of the category page & then hope the customer clicks through to products? Advice welcome 🙂

Ecommerce SEO help
Hi I'm having difficulty managing our product pages for optimisation, we have over 20,000 products. We do keyword research & optimise product titles/meta of new products - however there's a lot to clean up but we have done a lot. I find we rank/convert better on product pages so they would be great to focus on - however when an old product is discontinued, the page is removed & we lose authority by creating new pages for similar products - does anyone have any ideas for managing this? This is something done automatically on the dev side in France. I then have the issue of trying to rank category pages - these are highly competitive areas competing with big brands. I'm finding it tough to know where to focus, the site is vast and I am the only SEO. I've started looking into low hanging fruit - but these aren't necessarily the areas which bring in much revenue. Thanks!

Help, I am in Local Search Results!
I do not know what to do with this... and could use a bit of advice on this issue: "Doing things right", resulted in great organic rankings and a bonus by showing top of local search results for our area. Sounds great... until Google decides it was time to mix things up a little. I do not know if this applies to all types of businesses, but for ours it means that you will no longer get any organic page 1 listing if you are a local business that (un)luckily ranks in local results too. One day G will include local results on a keyword, the next they won't... making our SEOMoz Campaign rankings weekly a true yo-yo of "50 keywords declined by >48 and >49 places", and "30 keywords improved by <47 and <49". It turned this feature in campaigns completely useless for me (ever since SEOMoz decided to include the local result light bulb that is) Some traffic dropped from 240 a day for one keyword, to 30 now for that same keyword. Frustrated? You bet. I do not understand why Google seems to create a war with local businesses. Should we get out of Local results or does anyone have any ideas, suggestions? Thanks a bunch guys!

Are the tags from schema.org beneficial for SEO?
I just came across schema.org, which has a massive list of attribute tags that can be added to HTML code, presumable with the benefit of giving search engines clear signals about your content -- and by extension, presumably boosting the ranking of good-quality content sites. Many of the tags point back to schema.org for definitions of content types. Since it's the first time I've seen this, I thought I'd ask the question: Do the tags listed at schema.org carry any weight with Google, or is this a self-promotional effort by schema.org to become an arbiter of SEO and content encoding? Thanks folks.
