Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

You can add a place manually with Google MapMaker, but it is not available in every country (see this list). For more information, see this support page: https://support.google.com/mapmaker/answer/1096044?hl=en

Alternatively you could use the option "send feedback" on Google Maps when you search for your location. Here you can add a missing place with all your business information. Hope this helps you.

Hi,

So if I understand correctly you AB tested with two pages (for example: domain.com/page and domain.com/testpage) and both were indexed by Google? If yes, than option 2 as you mentioned is the best way to go here.

For the future I would recommend to make sure that the testpage is not indexed by Google via robots.txt/meta noindex or use the rel canonical tag. You don’t want the testpage to get organic traffic here to prevent issues.

Hi,

I had a look at your site and there are a few things I would recommend:

• First of all you said you wanted to rank for keyword such as kitchen, new kitchen and kitchen renovation. I don’t see any specific landingpages for these keywords. So I would make a clear SEO optimized landingpage for these keywords with a clear Call To Action button.
• Also you should use one h1 tag for your most important keywords. On the current site for some reason the logo is inside a h1 tag.
• In the source code I see only inline CSS. You should combine this in one CSS file to improve website speed.
• In the future you could also see to implement microdata for reviews. This way you can display review stars in the search results.
• For me it was not clear what your conversion is at your site. It isn’t an ecommerce site where you sell products online. You want to let the users contact you about a new kitchen. Currently you let these users land on the general contact form. I would recommend to make a specific form just for this conversion.

Hi,
No you only have to setup a website per campaign, not individual url’s. In the “Rankings” tab you can add the keywords you want to track. After a week Moz will show you all url’s and their position for those keywords. This way you can automatically track them overtime and see your rankings on a weekly basis. Hope this helps.

Hi,

The MozBar addon is temporarily disabled for Firefox.
U can still use the Google Chrome versions as an alternative.

Hi,
You would only use this for a website with multiple languages. So I can’t think of any reason to use /en/ for an English only site.

About the subfolders vs subdomains, there is a lot of info about this topic online. I would use subfolder instead of subdomains so you have more benefit from the root domain. Google sees subdomains like en.domain.com as a totally new domain. This way you need to build authority and rank for each individual subdomain. Here is some information from Google Webmasters: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en

Hi,
I believe that Siri uses Bing for their search engine rankings. So first of all I would check if the rankings in Bing are more closely to the results in Siri. I find this topic very interesting but I never really looked into it. There are many good articles about SEO for voice search. An article from SEMrush about this: https://www.semrush.com/blog/how-virtual-assistants-like-siri-and-google-now-impact-seo/

Hi,

External links are links where the user goes to another domain.
For www.dare2b.com I see that there is a subdomain for language: http://www.en.dare2b.com/
Google sees subdomains as a new domain, so this will likely explain the high number of external links here.

See this article from Moz for more info about external links: https://moz.com/learn/seo/external-link

Hi,

This is a minor thing, but I just wanted to ask/let the Moz folks know.

I just noticed the "My Q&A" link in the profile header (see attached screenshot). When you click the link "My Q&A", it links to the Questions in the Q&A Forum instead of the My Q&A page. Is there a specific reason for this?

Hi,
Short answer: No you can’t hide a selection on a page from Google. If Google reaches your page it will crawl all of it. I personally wouldn’t worry that much about duplicate content here if it is only a small part of the page.

One solution could be to make an image for the returning content if this is possible. This way Google doesn’t crawl the text, but make sure you make the content visual. It is not userfriendly to put a lot of text in images.

Personally I use semrush.com to quickly monitor the backlinks to a website. It will give you a nice overview of all the referring ip’s and url’s and you can export it into Excel. However there is no option to see the changes over time (at least not in the free version). In Moz under “Links > Competitive metrics” on the History tab you can see graphs that compare some link data with your competitors over time. To get more information for a rapport I export the data from semrush once a week. This way I can show all the link metrics over time with the top referring domains for a website compared to the competitors. And yes it can take some time before the link metrics are indexed.

Hi,

Yes this really depends on how frequently Google crawls your site. Do these pages now lead to a 404 error? If yes I would suggest 301 redirecting them to other pages on your site. See this useful Moz blog about 301 redirects: https://moz.com/blog/heres-how-to-keep-301-redirects-from-ruining-your-seo

You also mentioned that you don’t offer the web design service anymore. If you still gets some traffic there you could make a specific page. Here you can state that you don’t offer web design but maybe some other relevant services.
