Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It will not be considered duplicate content. However, you should use hreflang markup so that google knows that 2 versions of a page are actually the same (just translated) and show the correct language to searchers.

I don't think the SEO plugin will assist with that but there are a number of plugins that will help. I recommend https://wordpress.org/plugins/broken-link-checker/

When you create a listing from G+ local biz page, it asks you for a phone number and tries to look it up in their current places pages. If it does exist, they try to merge them. Looks like you have both showing up, personally, I'd keep them both as is.

G local is very buggy in terms of updating and merging listings and at this point, not sure how you would proceed if you wanted to merge them. Perhaps someone else can jump in.

I highly doubt you can remove them - best case disavow them.

At this point, if you are willing to roll the dice, see what kind of effect the links will have on your rankings. Understand that those links are textbook spammy and should be treated negatively (they are irrelevant to your website, have lots of spammy outgoing links) but Google makes mistakes.

It is probably a matter of time before those links will be considered negative/poor and likely to hurt you down the line. However, it could be months/years before that happens.

If you are already ranking well some some terms and are scared of losing rankings, i'd disavow them now.

Hmm, you should either set a canonical url to the main site or noindex the other pages.

Since your main site already has all the information, the other subdomains won't rank for any terms anyways and you may be hit with duplicate content problems. Setting a canonical link will prevent the subdomains from ranking and any links built to that page will help your main site rank better. On the downside, the subdomains wont rank.

Why do Domain Authority & Page Authority Fluctuate?

Every index, we get a lot of questions about why a site's/page's PA/DA goes up or down. The answer's not easy because the inputs vary quite a bit, but basically, four things can cause change in these metrics from index to index:

1. The site/page received more or fewer links or more/fewer more/less powerful links. Your site's link profile may even remain completely unchanged and still see fluctuation in DA/PA because the sites pointing to you have been recalculated to have better or worse metrics.
2. Google changed things in their ranking algorithm and thus our models for DA/PA, which measure and attempt to track to correlation with Google's rankings changed, too.
3. The web's link graph changed, and what was "0" (the lowest possible score) is now lower/higher than before and/or what was "100" (the highest possibly score) is now higher/lower than before. Essentially, think of this as the goalposts moving because the field's gotten bigger or smaller.
4. Our web index changed in size/structure as we toss our more spam/junk and crawl more/fewer webpages, potentially biasing against links we were counting or hadn't counted in prior indices.

They are not taken into SEO consideration so you will never benefit from having them.

The negatives to having them is that competitors have easy access to all your keyword research, saving them work and letting them compete with you more easily.

So I agree with the SEO page tool - do remove meta keywords from your pages.

You can set that up. You need to create events and have them be triggered on click of the play button/link (or page loading if your audio auto runs on a specific screen)

Try adding this to .htaccess and see if it works:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^cdkeyprices\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://cdkeyprices.com/$1 [R=301,L]

No, the tracking links shouldn't affect duplicate content issue. Google understands these variables especially well and won't take them to mean that they are separate pages.

In any case, I recommend adding a canonical tag to the final landing pages (www.domain.co.uk/area-covered/area-a & www.domain.co.uk/area-covered/area-b) so that any variation of the url gets indexed as the final urls.

It shouldn't (its a hashtag anchor, not a new variable) but add a canonical url to the page anyways to avoid all duplicate content issues

Check out their official training: https://analyticsacademy.withgoogle.com/

Also check out http://cutroni.com/ (Google's Analytics advocate)

you cannot noindex only portions of content on a page.

your best bet is to iframe it and noindex the iframe source

Yep, what you have is good. The image names/alt should be keyword friendly and describe the image. It would be better if you described it even more i.e. pizza-buffet-marriot, pizza-buffet-hilton

it will speed up indexation (usually indexed same day) but won't boost your rankings

especially since the pages aren't currently ranking, I would go with your strategy of merging them into 1 longer page & redirecting from previous pages to new location.

Be sure to properly format the page with H1 / H2 tags so that crawlers can understand the different sections of the page easier.

Who is the target demographic?

Random thoughts

• Go heavy on social media, especially during big events/holidays (get picked up from airport, avoid drinking driving)
• Download the app for a chance to win a free limo tour
• SEO - write about places to go in the area, share stories
• Make sure the app makes it super easy to book > share + after they actually get picked up/dropped off > share
• g/fb/twitter ads

Social is taken into account but is currently not very influential in SERPs. Expect its significance to increase.

If you try to verify your business listing by phone and it doesn't work, this could be for one of several reasons:

• You have an automated phone system or phone tree.

If you encountered any of the reasons above, please request the PIN to be sent to you by mail.

Whats odd is that you don't have postcard verification option. I recommend you post this problem on their local business forums at http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/business

Good luck!

Probably a coincidence.. rankings do fluctuate. If you were hit by Emmanuel, you probably wouldn't be on the front page, let alone #3.

In additional, your competitors could have just improved their rankings (and as a result, your's dropped)

Inside the wordpress loop on the homepage/category/archive theme pages. right now it probably has the_content() --> replace this with the_excerpt()

Some more ideas:

• Track miles taxied and give bonus free miles
• Refer a friend and get free miles
• SEO: ask them to leave a review after they got a ride
• SM campaign: selfies in the taxi (#supertaxi or something)

I guess my general train of thought is to trade social media engagement for free taxi fares.. get people talking about the service and how easy it is to use.

Fun project, enjoy

Yep, check this out

You need to claim the old page and either remove/edit it with the new address.

There is a feature on each page to "edit this business" which has the option to let G know that the address has been moved. You should definitely do that foremost.

Personally, I find G places/+ very quirky and erratic - showing random business titles, different address formats, etc. even after I correct everything. You can also post in the G local forums with your issue.

Emanuel penalizes sites for excessive copyright infringement, nothing to do with content quality.

The best course of action is an on page audit + content/link building plan based on your strengths/weaknesses.

Nope, you can just have a regular sitemap with all of the urls. Then on the actual pages, declare the localities via the hreflang tag.

Overall, you should declare the location associations on either the pages, the sitemap, or ideally, both. The more direction you can give crawlers, the easier it would be to understand.

I believe you can just claim the listing with another account anyways. You'll just need to re-verify the address with the postcard PIN.

Only if it makes sense to have each business location on a separate page (i.e. your include maps, location specific deals, content, etc). I'm not sure if having a location on the homepage makes it the "main location" in G's eyes though.

If you want to put all the locations onto one page, wrap all the locations within one "LocalBusiness" schema tag and list out multiple PostalAddress locations. Check out this post for an example.

Still use the hreflang attribute.

US site: http://example.com/" />

CA site: http://example.ca/" />

In addition, I would set country targeting via GWT.

.com is king but if they are doing well with their .ca domain, I wouldn't mess with it.

Do they have the resources to manage two websites? Having a .com would help them rank in US better over a .ca - ideally the sites would be nearly identical (changing up small things like CAD vs USD, contact address/phone possibly, etc) and then linked up with hreflang markup.

You are fine - no need to worry about duplicate content.

Only way it would be is if EVERYTHING is identical.. which it doesn't sound like it is.

I like using the same alt text for an image across the whole website. Alt text = alternative text = if the image is missing, what descriptive text would let the visitor understand what was there? Just make sure that 1 alt text is perfect (e.g. "master bedroom with green wall accent")

In terms of SEO, I see your point of varying the keywords in order to rank for different terms but I would be careful not to set off any spam flags. If you do decide to mix up the alt text, make sure they are still very similar and you avoid keyword stuffing.

1. Ubersuggest to generate a bunch of keywords. Twitter/Quora/Yahoo Answers/Forums to see what questions people are asking for possible topics.
2. Get their keyword volumes (filter out the real low search quantities) via Keyword Planner
3. Group/combine common keyphrases
4. Determine which topics to write about based on 1) competition 2) search quantity 3) topic intent/relevance (would this topic attract visitors that would help my site fulfill its goal?) 4) timing (seasonality, availability, trends)

Just keep in mind that every website/business is different and could use information from different sources. I recommend trying out all of the tools and seeing what they have to offer. From there, you can streamline your own process that is most effective for your situation.

I would contact Manta and ask them to clarify whats going on/what you want done.

This has been happening for a while now. We use rank tracking with 100 results per page and the ranking results are usually different than comparing it to 10 results per page.E.g. 10 results per page ranking = 19, 100 results per page ranking = 33

First time we noticed this was back in March 12'.. although it could have started earlier than that.

If you can keep it under 15 words, i'd stick with 1 alt text for all instances - throwback MC video. So in your case, "Old Navy commercial display, faux white brick panel accent wall" would be acceptable. I think it would strengthen the keyword relevancy for the image rather than using different alt text on different pages.

This gives me an idea for a test though... time to throw up a web page

If it is a local service, yes, adding location modifier keywords can help you rank for more local terms.

As the others mentioned, its probably a coding mistake. 5% bounce rate is phenomenal.

In addition, 24 seconds on homepage can be good or bad - depends on what the next action is (do visitors go further into the site, or leave?)

When working with a new template, I like to install something like ClickTale or Inspectlet (user mouse tracking code) so see exactly how users react to the new design. We use that (along with aggregated data from GA) to develop a better visitor flow - improving time on site and getting visitors where you want them to go.

Looks pretty spammy and unorganized. Are the pages ranking well?

Replacing them with a dropdown selection would work

Yes, you probably wont do too well in rankings if you just have a single number/name difference for many pages. Maybe add in more unique information related to that person? e.g. where you got your information, where you got information from, last 3 tweets/status updates, etc. Although this is all aggregate content (which Google still considers inferior to unique content) it should help you rank in addition to giving your users more useful information.

It won't be considered unique content as long as the rest of your page is unique (the textual content is what is most important).

Your title is too long: Dog Training Silver Spring MD - Puppy Training - Dog School - Dog Training - Academy Dog Training By Haywood

108 characters with spaces.. you should shoot for ~70 (I believe it's pixel based but 70chr is just easy to deal with)

Since Google can't display the full title in the search results, it took the most relevant text from the title "Academy Dog Training" and displayed that instead.

Fyi, the site in general is very poorly coded and looks like its got a keyword stuffed footer too.

Check out this post on Google and long title tag

SEOMofo title tag length experiment - 107px title is the longest allowed length

where? In general, you should write about things that people are searching for.

Cool general tip though: Go to industry related forums > newbie section > read some of the questions being posted and write up some awesome articles answering those questions.

Doesn't look right...

Each event should only have 1 start date... looks like you grouped all of them together.

Look at this example and mimic it for each event date:

<divclass="event-wrapper"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" event"=""><divclass="event-date"itemprop="startdate"content="2013-09-14t21:30">Sat Sep 14
  <divclass="event-title"itemprop="name">Typhoon with Radiation City
   <divclass="event-venue"itemprop="location"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" place"=""><spanitemprop="name">The Hi-Dive
     <divclass="address"itemprop="address"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" postaladdress"=""><spanitemprop="streetaddress">7 S. Broadway

<spanitemprop="addresslocality">Denver,
      <spanitemprop="addressregion">CO
      <spanitemprop="postalcode">80209

<divclass="event-time">9:30 PM
  <spanitemprop="offers"itemscopeitemtype="http: schema.org="" offer"=""><divclass="event-price"itemprop="price">$13.00
  <aitemprop="url"href="http: www.ticketfly.com="" purchase="" 309433"="">Tickets</aitemprop="url"href="http:></divclass="event-price"itemprop="price"></spanitemprop="offers"itemscopeitemtype="http:></divclass="event-time"></spanitemprop="postalcode"></spanitemprop="addressregion"></spanitemprop="addresslocality"></spanitemprop="streetaddress"></divclass="address"itemprop="address"itemscopeitemtype="http:></spanitemprop="name"></divclass="event-venue"itemprop="location"itemscopeitemtype="http:></divclass="event-title"itemprop="name"></divclass="event-date"itemprop="startdate"content="2013-09-14t21:30"></divclass="event-wrapper"itemscopeitemtype="http:>

Easiest way is to sort by domain authority or page authority and just go down the list. View each page > If the page's content has 1) real content, 2) low outbound links and 3) is relevant to your site, its probably a good link.

You can also write more unique content - although I'd build more links first since you say that your current site is all unique content already.

Go to http://analytics.moz.com/pro > the rightmost column = "Insights", click on the one that corresponds > here you get a list of all of Moz's insights.. look for a section called "Keyword opportunities"

Good question. I don't think it would make much of a difference since you aren't diluting the keyword value of the heading tag. However, you can always just make a CSS class that mimics your H1/H2 look identically.
