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.

I just found original business name for client - its not the same as GMB or any aggregate site. What to do?
the business filing with the Secretary of State is a name of an individual (e.g. Matthew Smith, M.D.). This is on reflected on Localeze and such. However, the business is operating under a name "Healthy Body and Minds Clinic", which is the Facebook, Google My Business, and website name and info. So, how is it best to get consistency in NAP with the two different business names being used? (Ideally, no change in State registration or filing for a DBA). Thanks much! One idea I have seen is to include both and separate them by a colon. As in "Healthy Body and Minds Clinic : Matthew Smith, M.D." I appreciate any suggestions or tips to help. Thanks.

It's been over a year of going back and forth with Google My Business team
It's been over a year of going back and forth with Google My Business team regarding my GMB page. It was active for 2+ years prior with over 20+ reviews. I email GMB weekly to find out the status of the page and they keep saying it is a technical glitch and they are waiting for an update. Would love to get any advice on how to resolve my business page so it appears again on the Google maps or who I can contact to resolve this issue. This is our third time creating a new G+ business page https://plus.google.com/+LocalSEOSearchToronto

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.

Two web sites with the same contact info is this a problem ?
I have two web sites and a physical shop. I run the web sites from the the same post address as the shop. I am concerned that if I add the actual address to both web sites which also has the same telephone number that google might see this as suspicious activity. The reason is I bought a competitor out and now run two sites.

Local review site discovery
Rand and others have shared a link to a free service where you type in a state location and it shows a list of the most used local listings & review sites for that area. I can't find this service or link anywhere. Was this a service that was on getlisted.org that no longer exists?? Anyone know where it is or where it went?

Started using a 3rd Party Review Company for our Website. Do we need to show the reviews or is a widget (badge) with a link back to review company sufficient enough from an SEO ranking point of view?
Hi All, We have started to use a 3rd party review company and now have the choice of either implementing their re-supplied widgets (Java ) on our site showing customer reviews or use their an API to get this information. The widgets (Java) , would be loaded once the page is actually loaded so I am not sure how and if google will read this information if at all? If we use a widget then we won't be able to implement it with Schema.org although we will be able to use rich snippets to it will appear on any PPC (once we have had 30 reviews). If we go down the API route, it's more expensive for us but we can use the review schema.org for this. Does anyone have any experience of what works best for them ?.. We have a choice of having a widget showing latest reviews or just a badge (which is actually a link to the review site showing our reviews). From an SEO point of view, is one better than the other ? Does google actually read the content of the review or is the link back to the 3rd party review company sufficient enough to help with rankings etc. Am I correct in assuming that by linking to a 3rd party review company and showing our reviews on our site , this will help with rankings as even though the content in the reviews doesn't really say much ,. I did see it was a ranking factor on the survey but not sure how google uses this. ? I've read up some information on reviews etc but wondered what the general consensus was with what others found works best for them Any help greatly appreciated Pete

Publishing testimonials on your site that are from your Google + (or other review sites page)
Ive got a site with some good Google + Reviews and some other good reviews on other sites that id like to be able to publish on a testimonials page on our website, but im worried about being penalised for duplicate content. Any idea of the best way to get these reviews on to our website, i was thinking about placing the text in as an image, but id prefer to do something semantic if at all possible. (I know that some review sites have javascript widgets you can use to pull in your reviews but for most of the sites we are reviewed on they dont)

URL Structure for a local listing site
Hi - We have a site that offers customers with wide range of local businesses information. We have URL structure for those these days like this - site.com/listings/plumbers/ca/sfo However here the "listings" doesn't add any value and are confusing for users who want to remember it, hence we decided to make it cleaner. The question here is, which one of the two should we do and why? site.com/plumbers/ca/sfo or site.com/ca/sfo/plumbers Any help on this matter would help.
