        To reduce your spam score, focus on acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable sources, avoid using manipulative link-building tactics, and ensure your website content is original and valuable. Regularly audit your backlink profile to disavow any low-quality or spammy links, maintain a clean site structure, and follow best practices for on-page SEO. Additionally, avoid keyword stuffing, excessive ads, and ensure your site is user-friendly and mobile-optimized.

              Reducing the spam score of a website or email is crucial to maintaining a good online reputation and deliver your content effectively. Here are some steps to reduce the spam score:

              Use a Professional Email Address: Ensure your email address is professional and doesn't resemble spammy email addresses.

              Quality Content: Create high-quality and relevant content. Spammy content, such as excessive use of keywords or links, can increase your spam score.

              Clean Email Lists: Regularly clean your email lists by removing inactive or unengaged subscribers. Sending emails to invalid or outdated addresses can harm your score.

              Engagement: Encourage recipients to open and engage with your emails. This includes having a clear call to action and relevant content.

              Avoid Spam Trigger Words: Refrain from using words and phrases commonly associated with spam, such as "free," "urgent," or excessive use of exclamation points.

              Use Proper HTML and Formatting: Ensure your emails are properly formatted, and the HTML is clean. Sloppy formatting can trigger spam filters.

                  How Can I influence the Google Selected Canonical

                  canonical ranking issue subdomain indexation

                  Our company recently rebranded and launched a new website. The website was developed by an overseas team and they created the test site on their subdomain. The only problem is that Google crawled and indexed their site and ours. I noticed Google indexed their sub domain ahead of our domain and based on Search Console it has deemed our content as the duplicate of theirs and the Google selected theirs as the canonical.
                  The website in question is https://www.spaziointerni.us
                  What would be the best course of action to get our content ranked and selected instead of being marked as the duplicate?
                  Not sure if I have to modify the content to make it more unique or have them submit a removal in their search console.
                  Our indexed pages continue to go down due to this issue.
                  Any help is greatly appreciated.

                  Should I keep my existing site or start new?

                  redirects urlredirect optimization site structure business

                  I have a website with less than 3K visits a year. Only customers with an Account with me who have login credentials can see my product pricing and make a purchase onsite; therefore, indexing/page ranking is not a concern for me. My agency suggests that my product catalog be corrected to a parent/child relationship. Currently, each product variation has its own SKU and PDP. As a result, product findability: Site Search, Categorization, and Facets are a mess. Is there any way I can keep my current URL (branding purposes)? I thought we could delete all pages (PLPs & PDPs) and create all new and enforce 301 redirects. Thoughts?

                  Page Title Displaying Wrong Company Name in Google Search Results

                  google search page title google search engine results

                  Currently, in some of our keyword search results, the wrong company name is showing up in the page title. We are a family of companies that all provide different modes of transportation. When we search up "Herc Air Charters" in Google Search Engine, the wrong operating company shows up in the page title (see screenshot, second result: "Lynden Transport" is our trucking company, and does not offer any air charter, this should say "Lynden Air Cargo"). Google decides what is best to put in these titles, so what would be the best way to ensure the correct company name is being displayed? Google Search Issue.PNG
