Hi Josh

This may be a more subjective question, but my vote is for responsive.  Even though you don't have a high volume of traffic today that is mobile, it will most likely increase and when you have a mobile-friendly page it will most likely accelerate. Some companies still go with stripped down mobile sites, but I have been seeing more people moving towards responsive to minimize the need of managing two separate sites and being able to give their mobile users as much content and functionality as possible.

Also on April 21st Google is going to start giving more preference to mobile sites.  You can read more about it in the Moz article - http://moz.com/blog/9-things-about-googles-mobile-friendly-update

Hi John

If you are using Google Tag Manager, you should let it fire the events and conversions instead of putting code in-line.  If you have the old Google Analytics tags you will want to comment them out and remove them when you are comfortable with the transition.

Hi Everyone

I wanted to see how people submit their urls to Google and ensure they are all being indexed.  I currently have an ecommerce site with 18,000 products.  I have sitemaps setup, but noticed that the various product pages haven't started ranking yet.  If I submit the individual url through the new Google Search Console I see the page ranking in a matter of minutes.

Before the new Google Search Console you could just ask Google to Fetch/Render an XML sitemap and ask it to crawl all the links.  I don't see the same functionality working today on Google Search Console and was wondering if there are any new techniques people could share.

Thanks,
Anthony

I don't think where you setup the page has anything to do with the ranking.  I run pages for various travel sites and I haven't seen issues.  I think the thing that matters is that the geo information you add for the page or profile lines up with where your client is located and the information is consistent across sites like Yelp, Google+, Facebook, etc.

Moz Local gives you some good tips for where to register your site if you want to do it on your own.

Hi Nikola

My thought would be no. I did a quick search for Prismatic and I don't see web pages out there that are indexed. Its great to hear that your pages are being picked up by an app, because it will just get your site in front of more eyes, but it may not have any positive link benefits at this time. I have seen Google promote app indexing and deep linking on their site, but it looks like the app developer needs to do something to take advantage of it. https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/
