I agree with Ramon in terms of changing the links. However, I'm not sure that the change you want to make will have the best impact. For example, http://mocomi.com/who-invented-zero/. This link is very easy to share, very easy to recognize and it is easy to index for the specific question. Moreover, "math for kids" is included in the title which is good. The place I think you need to work more is the specific category. In this case you have http://mocomi.com/learn/maths/. Why is "kids" not appearing anywhere here? What I want to suggest is that you need to conduct a keyword research first before making your changes. You need to pinpoint exactly WHAT you have to change and you need to know for sure WHY you want to do a specific change. Hope this helps.

RE: 301 a whole subdomain to main domain
I don't understand what the problem is. You have a domain and a subdomain. Do you use href lang? If so, how do you use it? Also, do you rank with your main domain in czeck rankings? From what I understand you should rank with the subdomain, right? Or is it that you do not rank at all (no domain, no subdomain) in the czech language? I don't think that the solution is to delete your language specific subdomain. Why do you think they are considered duplicates? Is the language not different? There are multiple questions that can be asked before reaching your conclusion. This is my input here.

RE: Content change within the same URL/Page (UX vs SEO)
Google can read dynamic content, so I would not do this. In terms of UX, why don't you come up with something really cool while the users are waiting? How many seconds do you need for the change? As a rule, I would keep the sections with their own content because Google can read dynamic content.

RE: Content change within the same URL/Page (UX vs SEO)
Hello. You really need to have separate pages if you want to rank with all of them. Basically, think of the title for example. How do you want to index a specific region if you have only one page? How should googlebot understand that you have multiple content and which content/section to show if a person does a specific query? Escaped fragments could have been used in the past but it was not a great solution and it was discontinued (https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html). As such, I would try to provide separate pages with as much qualitative content as possible and with strong internal linking.

RE: Help with force redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Hello. You would put it somewhere after # BEGIN WordPress, depending on when you would want the https redirect to happen. The first settings (WP Rocket) basically optimize your website's speed. You would also want to change the settings from the admin panel and also force the admin to SSL. You can read more here -> https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ssl-https-wordpress/. Let me know if you have any other questions.

RE: HTTPS and server questions
Hello!
In terms of targeting the US, if you really want all your ducks in a row, a server located in the US would provide a lower latency than one in the UK. Of course, the CDN helps in terms of cache-able resources but you still have requests which would need to reach the actual server. So the most professional setting would be a server in the US (as close as possible to your main customers area if any) + a strong CDN which has servers as close as possible. If you go with a cloud solution as James was suggesting, make sure where you cloud solution location is set as Google, for example, lets you choose the region in which you want to be hosted.
Regarding the certificate, it doesn't matter where it is registered. You can even use a free certificate from Lets Encrypt (which most CPanel servers do automatically these days).
In terms of SEO, you would also want to make sure that you use href lang for your website.
Hope this helps!

RE: Would a Search Engine treat a sitemap hosted in the cloud in the same way as if it was simply on /sitemap.htm?
I didn't run any experiment on this, but I think it can be done from robots.txt referencing the sitemap file. You can read more here -> https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#sitemaps_cross_submits. So basically, you provide the link to the cloud file and tell the crawlers that it is a sitemap for a given website. I don't think Google will treat these files any differently.
[robots.txt ...] Sitemap: https://yourcloudprovider.com/sitemap.htm (or xml or whatever)
Hope this helps.

RE: Redirect chains from switch to HTTPS
I guess you could probably do this by checking the https rule at last. So if it is old.php, the first thing you do is redirect to the new.php but already on the https. So all your static redirects will automatically go to https with one redirect while the other will always reach the last rule and go to the secure versions. Let me know if this helps.

RE: Clients Keep Googling Themselves
Hi Jenna,
in terms of organic search, you should probably explain to them your current positions for all the tracked keywords and your long-term strategy for gaining advantage. From my experience, clients will never stop searching for what they want and I would argue that this is not a bad thing. However, you need to make them understand that you are in control of what you do and the timeframe in which you expect to have better results.
In terms of paid advertising, you can just give the official tools to check what they want. For example, for AdWords you can point them to https://support.google.com/adwords/troubleshooter/1711301?hl=en. They already trust Google's brand so they will accept their response much faster.
Best of luck!

RE: From an SEO perspective, which is preferable in the URL for a non-English site: local language or English?
It depends on what you want to rank for. If it is English searches, use that language. If you want to rank for Hindi, use that version. As a rule of thumb, try to do what benefits your end users since this will eventually pay off in search engines. How do your users search for those pages or product? Use those keywords (after a keyword research process, of course). This will also be an advantage from a user experience point of view. Good luck!

RE: 301 Redirect from ASP.NET to PHP...Is it possible?
Hello Thomas,
I did not code ASP.NET, but from my understanding, a 301 redirect does not need to be connected to the language you write code in. You could perform a 301 redirect from your web server for example (in Apache you could use the htaccess file).
Anyways, I think you should redirect from your asp.net file to php and everything will work ok. You can check the link below for some code examples I have found searching on Google.

Hopefully this helps!

RE: White H1 Tag Hurting SEO?
I agree with Thomas. But if you are already using an image you can integrate it with an H1 tag and an "alt" markup. Something like
. Google will consider the alt title. Hope this helps!

RE: Best Organic Strategy for onpage and off page?
I will be very honest with you. This question is too wide to be answered. More importantly, you need to create personalized strategies for you and/or your clients. Not every project will follow an exact blueprint. Of course there are general aspects you need to consider and the Moz blog and other very good sources are to be read, but do not make the mistake to think that all your clients businesses are the same. This is my advice and I wish you all the best.

RE: No content in the view source, why?
With a very high probability, the website was developed in some JavaScript platform such as Angular JS. This is exactly what you would get as a result since the content is shown after the initial loading. Let me know if you have further questions.

RE: I want to forward/redirect users from domain.us to domain.com.us (preferred domain)
Hello,
since most of the hosting providers use CPanel, I will just point you to a tutorial on redirects on CPanel.
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/ReDirects
So what you would do is redirect your domain.us to domain.com.us following the steps provided in the above link. That's it! Since you are trying to shift your entire domain, make sure you will be adding a 301 (permanent) redirect.

RE: Google+ Best Practice
Hello,
first of all, I am no expert here, I am just answering what I would do.
I would post on the company G+ page and then ask the authors to share the post from the company G+ profile. From my perspective, this would (or should) bring more authority to your webpage.
Related to the G+ Local page, I would not post the articles there. I am just thinking about the purpose of a Local page right now. I don't see why someone would like to see articles when they are trying to find a local business. It just does not match the purpose I guess.
Again, this is what seems right in my opinion and this is what I would do.
