Thanks Aleyda, mobile website development is something new for and since we developed this in house, we are not sure if we have done the right thing, if we have duplicate content. Is there any way we can check for duplicate content? Could you take a look at our website and its mobile version and let us know what you think?

Thank you!

Your guy seems very professional, we are setting up a different project. For local, I chose somebody else indeed but just for troubleshooting the pages..it seems I should have hired the other company to do everything.

I was afraid you were going to say that. The Local SEO company that I work with for making sure our Google Places page and Google plus page are properly optimized suggested that in order for me to rank for my keywords, I have to put the geo terms in the new custom categories. This company has been referred by somebody that you know well, an expert in Local SEO and a Google forum moderator. I know that she just teaches those people what to do and it is up to them to implement it but I thought I would share this information here because if somebody else would have been in my place, they would have been penalized.  When I saw the company's proposal, I came here for help because you guys are the only ones that I truly trust.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Miriam,

The problem is that my Dashboard has the old interface, I can still create custom categories. The question is, should I add "Chicago" to my keywords or not? Somebody else just answer here saying that this would be against Google guidelines.

Hi Miriam, I just ask a new question and I thought I might get a faster answer here. Here is the question: in Google Local, my first category is limousine service, which I picked it from the pre-selected categories, should I create new other categories which will be basically other high traffic keywords?

This is what it says on Google Help:

"Categories: Select at least one category from the list of available categories."

Are there any rules against this practice?

I checked Mike's categories's tool as well and this is what I got: Limousine Service, limo, limos, limosine, limousine. Should I create custom categories for all these keywords? The SEO company that I work with suggested to add a Geo modifier to better target our main keywords.

Thanks William, I did use that tool but it did not returned to many options as it did by studying the competition and the answers here.
