I'm assuming that since you're keeping the URL, the content subject matter will be on the same? If not, I feel you would suffer a drop in PA. Regardless, as Gaston has pointed out, Google will at some point releases that page & may alter its rankings in the SERPs.

There are no cons that I can think of, a simple script in a sites htaccess file is the best was to implement the redirection.

I've always used CSS to scale images between devices. Though this can increase the page loading times, so for better performance there are plugins available for CMSs to improve page rendering speeds,

Hello, out of interest why not just use the word "half"? I have a feeling that most people would use the word, not the fraction especially on a mobile device; where you'd be required to swap between the alphabetical & numerical keyboards.

Me too, can you upload or screenshot the actual file that you are using

Hi,

What's the URL & What keywords are you tracking?

GA has a limit of 100 properties, so you need to create another Google account for the next batch of properties, Google limits the number of accounts that you can associate with the same email address via a 2 step verification via a mobile phone number, it's about 3 accounts per phone number.

Hi there,

What efforts have you made to date?

Have you audited the site in more detail?

• Where the drops occurred via Search Console?
• What keywords dropped the most & when
• Audited your website to see if there are any technical issue?
• Conducted a backlink audit - do you acquire backlinks

You appear to lack the basics such as:

• meta-data
• alt tags
• substantial content, possibly due to the lack of a content strategy

25% by the end of the month doesn't sound realistic, an external agency probably won;t turn anything around in less than a few months.

Hello Paul,

I'd imagine that Google applies the same rules worldwide assuming that the municipalities are governed in a similar manner. I would set up the municipality as one would a business.

I've also Googled "City of Lakewood WA", no fire-related images to report as per my screenshot, I searched in incognito mode also

Hi, in addition to the answer that effectdigital gave; another option,optimised for WordPress:

User-Agent: *
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /readme.html
Disallow: /refer/

Sitemap: http://www.example.com/post-sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/page-sitemap.xml

Very singular question, yes you can, the city council have done it where I live https://bit.ly/2N8rxkT

I'd say no, they're dynamic URLs & you plan to add a  tag

Hello, canonicalisation will suffice in this context.

My preference is to treat these types of pages as dynamic URLs & block them in the robots.txt

Disallow: /?
Disallow: /=

But, since you can't do this in Shopify, then you need to manually add the code in to the pagination pages (somehow).

I got the HTML code from
https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/hide-a-page-from-search-engines

It all depends what you're selling & where you're selling it, also if your hierarchy structure allows for the inclusion of keywords including geo locations, all the better.

Somewhat dated but useful article https://moz.com/learn/seo/url

Hello,

Yes I do mean canonical tags as don_quixote correctly pointed out "Each page should have a clearly defined purpose and respond to a customer query." however if you must use the same page for different locations...

1. www.url.com/plumbing-services
2. www.url.com/essex/plumbing-services
3. www.url.com/camberwell/plumbing-services

I would add the following code:

to the esses & camberwell pages

Personally, I don't see why the folder structure would negatively affect your SEO. I recommend that you use the   tag to cleanly denote what is in English & whats in Dutch.

He there,

Your approach is fine WRT targeting - I recommend that you ensure that you create content for each location or use canonicalisation.

Hello,

I'd say not, in the same sense that having a NAP in the websites footer doesn't have any negative effects on a website SEO ranking, in this specific content its the opposite

Hello Rishi,

Have you made any changes to the site?

DA is a concept proprietary to Moz, it was recently recalibrated which may explain the drop - https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0

1. Why have the upper & lowercase case pages live
2. Have you considered canonicalisation?

Hello Robert,

Good luck with that, I'm not aware of a tool that would do that specific type of reporting. I've only ever done that in the past using an HTML editor.
