In my opinion it can be both, of course i like to brand company names but you can throw in some keywords related to the business or niche, i have seen and ranked social media sites in the serps for key phrases related to their business.

Hey,
Was the content ever the same? Did you recently update it? Is anything on the page the same or similar to other pages, did you maybe upload another version of your site on the server?

RE: Is it bad to include google Maps in footer?
I think its a good thing, it can help people find your business and if you have reviews attached on google+ they can see that within your maps acct.

RE: Adding web designer credits to properties I create
I struggle with this too, on the one hand we get referral business from these links but on wmt it shows some sites may have 2000 pages and that can't look good in a search engines eyes. Im cleaning my site up now and in web master tools i had so many pages linking to me from sites that i have done over the years and i think it might be hurting me. I recently started putting no follow links on a lot of the sites that i have built so that potential clients can get to my site but search engines won't crawl them. Hope this helps.

RE: Why does facebook, twitter, pinterest show up for links?
Yea im not sure if explorer picks up everything but WMT does. As long as you add all your urls to all your social acts your should be good.

RE: Why does facebook, twitter, pinterest show up for links?
Hey,
Im not sure if all links to your site show up in site explorer, check wmt but in some of my sites i don't see some social media links as well. Are you sure you have the link in the right place? That might be it as well.

RE: How to break into a serp dominated by large companies? (but low keyword difficulty)
In my opinion everyone has a change, in some cases big name companies run the show because they do a great job branding their businesses but you can do the same. Write good content use quality images about your product or services, maybe start a blog with an open discussion or conversation related to your niche and that can help. Try to use your trigger keyword phrases within the content.

RE: Sudden keyword rankings drop
There was a recent update that seemed to jumble the search results around a bit, try to wait it out and see if anything goes back before doing anything major.

RE: Is this a good WP template for this site?
I bought these layouts before, its html 5 not wordpress i believe, your just buying the psd and you have to cut it up and lay it out. It comes with everything you need like CSS and fonts im pretty sure but i dont think this one is wordpress.

-
RE: Should I delete Meta Keywords from a website?
I would keep them, i even still use them with sites I'm building now because even though one search engine says they don't use them maybe another will and who knows if and when they will be important again. In my opinion no harm no foul. I leave mine.

RE: Drupal vs. Wordpress
Personally i like wordpress, there are so many plugins that you can implement. It is really user friendly and you can changes themes real easily. I hear really great things about drupal as well but i have worked with wordpress and have first hand knowledge. Also with wordpress you can have a designer custom design a layout and develop it using the wordpress platform.

RE: Link Building On a Budget
If i was you i would consult with a company face to face before hiring and also see if you can do some things on your own. Social media and blogging is something that someone in house can do and they also have first hand knowledge of the business.

RE: Is un-searched content worth writing?
In my opinion you should write for the person going to your site rather than the search engines, they will be the ones using your products and services. You can tailor a lot of "inner pages" towards key phrase in your niche.
-
RE: Why isn't Moz recognizing meta description tags using SLIM?
After you fix it you can ask google to fetch the page in WMT if you need a sooner update but if you wait they will re craw it fast too.

RE: Can we have differnt Domain name and Busienss name?
Branding a business name with the domain is is always key but if you like that domain name that go with it, i would buy sunnyassociates.com if its available and point it to your other domain name so you have both in case one day you decide to use it.

RE: Home Page Copy Ideal Length
Hey,
I struggle with adding content too, to me graphic on a web page look better than words, I try to add intriguing content and usually keep my wording to 400 words or more. Please seem to like looking at pictures rather than reading so maybe filter in some pictures or graphics within the copy.

RE: My website is not indexing
Also i just looked at your website it's very nice but there is no content (copy) on the page. It's just images, i would add some kind of an introduction on the homepage and the product pages as well.

RE: Pages with Duplicate Page Title
I would just do your best to describe each page, it may take a while but you will benefit from new content, the dupe content issues will go away and you can engage your customers or visitors. If your in fear of duplicate content and want to take down your pages you can put them in draft mode in wordpress until your satisfied with the new content.
-
RE: Just found a wordpress blog duplicating main website blog - what to do?
If you have access to it i would for sure start re writing the content, after republishing the web pages, re submit the site map and the search engines should re-crawl soon. Good luck hope this helps.

RE: Pages with Duplicate Page Title
Are you using an seo plugin? If so it may be filling in the page name by default. Do you know how to rename the page titles in a blog? It's really easy just sign in, go to that page, edit page then usually at the bottom the will be a section for title and description. After that hit publish. Hope that helps.
