Hi there,

What SERP results you get depends on your search queries. If you search for a niche category of your products and you see your results, naturally you will see the URL where these products sit. So it is the exact URL of the result.

Potential benefits:

• You see the search term a few times which might look appealing and increase CTR's
• You can easily run research on competitors and see how they organise their sitemap or in which category they place a particular product
• Potentially it can be more eye-catching as it takes more space than a short URL.

I hope this helps.

Hi there,

I've heard it used to help back in 2014, but I haven't heard about it for ages. I doubt a little thing like this could help - everyone would do it then! I agree with Don, it can be a valuable thing to have, especially when you have a site or you need clients to visit you. It is certainly a better experience than having to copy the postcode and paste in Google for the map results.

So if I were you, I would add the map so you have it, but I wouldn't be expecting too much when it comes to SEO.

I hope this helps.

Let us know & Good luck!

Hi there,

DA 37 is fine, but if you can see the website is rubbish, Google will realise it soon too! What if they carry on with this strategy and they will be marked as a proper spammy website? No one wants a backlink marked as a spam. Google sees backlinks as recommendations/testimonials. You want them to be top quality not only when it comes to DA, but all other aspects - such as spam score, relevancy to your website (niche), etc.

So even though your competitors might have a free backlink from them, is it really worth to you? Instead, don't be desperate for the backlink & challenge yourself and find another relevant website for a backlink instraf and make sure you are happy with the quality of the website. Feel free to check the directory discussed in future and see if they improved or not. If yes, then go for the backlink. For now, I wouldn't. It's about both quality and quantity - but quality is more important when it comes to backlinks.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your backlinks!

Hi,

First of all, there is no way you can submit a URL to any tool and it will provide you with a definite number of keywords you rank for. Why? Because you can have thousands of long-tail keywords that would bring your URL in search results.

There are a couple of things I would advise. The first one is a tool called SemRush - this will show you limited number of keywords your URLs rank for - you can explore your competitors' pages and their keywords too. The tool is really interesting, it allows you to submit projects and track changes over time.

Another tool is your own Google Search Console which is probably the best solution - simply select a date range and you will see all search queries you received impressions for. You can also see clicks and positions. You can select a particular landing page (equivalent of your URL) and this way explore all search queries that triggered this page for impressions. If you are not sure how to do it, let me know and I'll send some screenshots across to guide you through. It will be very useful for you indeed!

i hope this helps. Let me know how you get on! Good luck!

Hi,

when you are saying 2 websites - are they completely different domains? In this case you need to rewrite the content. I cannot  see how just different images would tell Google there isnt another identical website or a website with 90% of duplicated content.

I would suggest the following:

1. Keep the product names the same (unless you are allowed to change them) but make sure your images and descriptions are different.

2. Add completely different testimonials, reviews and case studies

3. Add completely different About us/Meet the team pages

4. Differentiate as much of content as you can and add extra sections where unique content can be added.

5. Don't replicate your backlinking strategy

6. Based on the areas targeted, find out about how effective geo redirects would be

7. Stress the address/location targeted via content, directories, G Maps

Simply flood the websites with a lot of unique content, change or at least reword what can be reworded. Make % of the  duplicated content as minimal as you can.

I hope this helps. Challenging. Good luck!

Hi,

Im afraid this could be just a waste of time for you. Why would you invest time and effort to build a few more blogs (and fed them with content) when you can approach this via a proper back linking strategy?

Find out where you can submit articles, get in touch with your industry websites with good domain authority and see what you can do to get backlinked. If you keep referral traffic/PR in mind, this can bring a lot more value (high quality traffic) to you than just a number of backlinks from artificially created blogs for the backlink purposes.

I hope this helps

Thanks
