Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I like what Chris said here. If your goal is to get more pageviews on these deeper results, then removing the phone and address and only having it on the restaurant listing page may get another click.

However, your main issue in getting users to stay on the site longer is still present. What's the #1 thing other people want to know when thinking about going to a restaurant? "Is the food any good?" Users will still probably try and leave to find reviews on YELP or Google. Maybe trying to include those valuable things will keep users on.

Also, I've noticed your Google Analytics tracking script is in the footer. I know this topic is debated, but you're probably losing out on some data for users who bounce before that script loads. This may make things look worse and increase your bounce rate, but it will give you a more accurate representation of how users are interacting with your site.

I have a service based client who is based in the US but wants to expand to audiences in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Currently, all the content is in American English with international targeting in Google Search Console set to the US. I know that is going to have to change, but I'm unsure of the best strategy. Right now there are a few basic strategies in my head.

1. Remove International Targeting in GSC and let her rip
2. Remove International Targeting in GSC, install copies of the site on subfolders /au/, /ca/, and /uk/, add hreflang tags, and add canonicals pointing back to original
3. Remove International Targeting in GSC, install copies of the site on subfolders /au/, /ca/, and /uk/, add hreflang tags, and risk duplicate content
4. Have independent writers overcharge for English translations into different dialects and add hreflang tags

It's hard to come up with a perfect solution for content differentiation by region in order to implement hreflang tags with a region (en-au, en-ca, en-gb).

Remove International Targeting in GSC and let her rip

This one is pretty simple. However, I am completely unsure of its effectiveness.

Remove International Targeting in GSC, install copies of the site on subfolders /au/, /ca/, and /uk/, add hreflang tags, and add canonicals pointing back to original

The point of adding canonicals is to avoid the duplicate content, but then my new subfolders do not get indexed. I'm unsure of what type of exposure these URLs would receive or how they would be valuable.

Remove International Targeting in GSC, install copies of the site on subfolders /au/, /ca/, and /uk/, add hreflang tags, and risk duplicate content

High risk of a penalty with duplicate content, but my targeting will be the most efficient.

Have independent writers overcharge for English translations into different dialects and add hreflang tags

This is probably the safest bet, takes the longest, and costs the most money. However, how different will the content actually be if I change truck to lorry, trunk to boot, and optimization to optimisation?

Maybe I'm missing something, but this conundrum seems extremely difficult. Weighing the cost, time, and possible result is challenging. Hit me with your best answer and thanks for taking a look at someone else's problem.

I have been working on a site and through all the tools (Screaming Frog & Moz Bar) I've used it recognizes the canonical, but does Google? This is the only site I've worked on that has apostrophes.

rel='canonical' href='https://www.example.com'/>

It's apostrophes vs quotes. Could this error in syntax be causing the canonical not to be recognized?

rel="canonical"href="https://www.example.com"/>

Hi Everyone,

I have a client that has two sites (example.com & example.co.uk) each have the same English content, but no hreflang or rel="canonical" tags in place. Would this be interpreted as duplicate content? They haven't changed the copy to speak to specific regions, but have tried targeting the UK with a ccTLD.

I've taken a look at some other comparable question on MOZ like this post - > https://moz.com/community/q/international-hreflang-will-this-handle-duplicate-content where one of the answers says  **"If no translation is happening within a geo-targeted site, HREFLANG is not necessary." **If hreflang tags are not necessary, then would I need rel="canonical" to avoid duplicate content?

Thanks for taking the time to help a fellow SEO out.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a specific answer, so I'll give some specifics to help get some information.

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fgpstrackit.com%2F&filter=&source=external&target=page&group=0&page=1&sort=page_authority&anchor_id=&anchor_type=&anchor_text=&from_site=

After looking through Open Site Explorer we've noticed one of the links from login.gpstrackit.net has a 10/17 spam score.

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=login.gpstrackit.net

This link is a 301 redirect from a previous login URL, so users can be redirected to our current site and login from there. I don't know how to approach this situation or what the correct fix is.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a client who recently had their site redesigned. I'm just going through to do an initial audit to make sure everything looks good. Part of my initial indexation audit goes through questions about how the site functions when you disable, javascript, cookies, and/or css. I use the Web Developer extension for Chrome to do this. I know, more recently, people have said that content loaded by Javascript will be indexed. I just want to make sure it's not hurting my clients SEO.

Is it as simple as looking at Google's Cached URL? The URL is definitely being indexed and when looking at the text-only version everything appears to be in order. This may be an outdated question, but I just want to be sure!

Thank you so much!
