A friend of mine runs a B&B and asked me to check his freshly built website to see if it was <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym> compliant. 
The B&B is based in France and he's targeting a UK and French audience.

To do so, he built content in english and french under the same domain:
https://www.la-besace.fr/

When I run a crawl through screamingfrog only the French content based URLs seem to come up and I am not sure why. Can anyone enlighten me please?

To maximise his business local visibility my recommendation would be to build two different websites (1 FR and 1 .co.uk) , build content in the respective language version sites and do all the link building work in respective country sites.

Do you think this is the best approach or should he stick with his current solution?

Many thanks

Does anyone know if there is a specific radius google uses to display local search results or is it simply based on the number of competitors or industry vertical.
Let's say I am based in covent garden London and I am looking for an indian restaurant. I assume that all results will be very localized as there are plenty of Indian restaurants in convent garden. But If i was looking for, let's say "wooden pipe shop" (i believe there is none in convent garden) what would google display? how far away from my desired location will google be able to extend it's results to?

OMG! thank you so much donna. Works a treat

That doesn't work really. I want to be able to specify the location very specifically. This doesn't work

Damn google! Thanks eric

Hi Everybody

Back in december 2015 I came across this article https://gofishdigital.com/google-results-change-location/  explaining how to change location for local search results using the google emulation tool by setting up new coordinates. This was also picked up by mikeblumenthals' blog as being one of the best way of doing this. I tried it at the time and it worked very well. I tried using it last week and again this week but my location no longer seems to update. I have tried it on fifferent computers located in different locations and still it doesn't work. Does anyone know if this feature is no longer available and if not what else they'd recommend to verify local search results.

Thanks

thanks dimitri

I have scoured the web in order to find a guide that would give me the ideal dimensions for images to populate google my business page... in vain.

Google itself is very vague about it as indicated below

• Format: JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP
• Size: Between 10 KB and 5 MB
• Minimum resolution: 250px tall, 250px wide

Does anyone know of a guide with optimum recommendation for each photo (profile, Cover photo, business specific photos...)  or alternatively can recommend the exact size needed.

Thanks

Hi there

Can someone tell me if the description serves a purpose in the google my business profile since:
a) It is not displayed anywhere as far as i have seen (maps, 3 pack local results, knowledge graph, organic results)
b) It is no longer considered as a ranking factor since it was abused so much

Thanks
