Thanks for the detailed explanation. I think that was it. At first I thought perhaps it was some blackhat hosting, but it appears they are legit; however, they are now asking my client to pay $45 a month to to get cpanel for linux dedicated license. I don't know why she would go through all that when Hostgator is less than $4 a month.

Google Plus not loading...any ideas?
Trying to load my campaigns and for each one, Google Plus tracking is not loading. It just doesn't take. I've tried with three different clients so either I'm doing something wrong or the system is not working properly. I entered the names of the accounts exactly they appear on the Google Plus page and copy and pasted the url with and without /posts at the end. Any other ideas to troubleshoot this?=
Thanks.

Is there a reason why a host would be reluctant to give up Cpanel access info?
Granted, a strange question here...
My client lost her cpanel login credentials, or never bothered to get them (she didn't even know she had a hosting account). Apparently she has a friend who is hosting her website for her, free of charge.
I need to get into the cpanel, but they are being extremely difficult. The client asked them and they didn't want to give it to her either. Still trying, but is there any reason why they would be so difficult? How does it benefit them? It can't be because they're afraid of losing her account because she isn't paying them anything. Totally confused by this. Any ideas?

RE: How to avoid duplicate title tags?
Thanks Anthony and Miriam, this site doesn't really have a lot of unique textual content on the pages. It's sort of a portal site where consumers can download travel brochures in each city. I thought Googlebots might read the pages as duplicate because the pages are mostly images and links. There's a one or two sentence description for each page (brochure) as well as a physical address (NAP), but that's about it for text.
My thought was that since it's all images and links, Google would have very little to crawl and therefore consider all the pages as duplicates, but the Moz crawl is not considering them duplicate pages from what I can tell. Do you think that since the pages are light on textual content that a duplicate content issue could pose a problem?

How to avoid duplicate title tags?
I've got roughly 1200 location pages for a travel client. Since the business does the same thing at every location, the title tags and descriptions are almost identical except for the location name. I know Google likes tags and meta descriptions to be unique, but how many different ways can I write the same title in a 55 character limit? For example, here's how the titles look:
Things to do in San Jose, CA | Company Name
Things to do in Dallas, TX | Company Name
Things to do in Albuquerque, NM | Company Name**My question: Are 1200 title tags structured this way unique enough for Google? **
I have got the same problem with the meta descriptions, but I can vary those a bit more because i have more characters to work with.
Thanks for your input,

RE: How to market locally for a national brand?
Thanks for the responses! I'm not afraid of the work, but to tackle each market is going to take a lot of resources to do effectively, which I don't have. I think I'm going to have to choose the top markets, work on as many of them as I can and work my way down to the smaller ones.
I like the infographic idea. I think that can work well for what I'm trying to do. Reaching out to travel bloggers in each market is another good one, if my budget allows for it.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

How to market locally for a national brand?
I just got a new client that offers travel information for cities throughout the US and Canada. They have a specific page set up for most locations. I want to promote each page for that community, but the task is very daunting, as you could imagine. It's almost like having a separate client in each city.
I've optimized the title tags, meta descriptions, content and so forth, but that's not enough. Engaging in a backlinking and social media strategy for each location is insane - I wouldn't have enough time in the day. Looking for off page promotional ideas that can be scaled nationally.
Does anyone have a similar situation with a national brand, or any ideas you'd like to share?
