Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We have a healthcare website which lists doctors based on their medical speciality. We have a paginated series to list hundreds of doctors.

Algorithm: A search for Dentist in Newark locality of New York gives a result filled with dentists from Newark followed by list of dentists in locations near by Newark. So all localities under a city have the same set of doctors distributed jumbled an distributed across multiple pages based on nearness to locality. When we don't have any dentists in Newark we populate results for near by localities and create a page.

The issue - So when the number of dentists in New York is <11 all Localities X Dentists will have jumbled up results all pointing to the same 10 doctors. The issue is even severe when we see that we have only 1-3 dentists in the city. Every locality page will be exactly the same as a city level page. We have about 2.5 Million pages with the above scenario.

**City level page - **https://www.example.com/new-york/dentist - 5 dentists

**Locality Level Page - **https://www.example.com/new-york/dentist/clifton, https://www.example.com/new-york/dentist/newark - Page contains the same 5 dentists as in New York city level page in jumbled up or same order.

What do you think we must do in such a case?

We had discussions on putting a noindex on locality level pages or to apply canonical pointing from locality level to city level. But we are still not 100% sure.

That is already done. However do you know whether the Q&A platforms change and modify the questions posted by users to make it more useful for other users  to help in SEO for each topic?

We are trying out SEO for a UGC Q& A Platform and has been able to generate 15000+ questions in last 4 months.  The overall traffic is 50K while SEO traffic is only 4 K even after putting in all basic SEO elements in place and ensuring that we have a google page speed  of 73/100. What  are some of the items that can be done to push up the traffic through SEO ? Any thoughts .

Looking for some  Best Strategies in SEO for International Expansion .

We were based in a single country till one year back and then decided to expand to other English speaking countries as well. Traffic from SEO for us is around 1.3 million users only from the single country and we rank in top#3 for 90% of our targeted keyword bank of 45000+ keywords.

We just launched in some new countries like singapore , philippines  and few other English speaking countries  with really unique content and I wanted to check whether I can use my mother domain or use any other strategies  for growing SEO faster in other countries.

Any inputs on scaling up SEO  traffic internationally will be appreciated

We are a business that operate in South East Asian countries and have medical professionals listed in Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia.

When I go to Google Philippines and check I can see indexing of pages from all countries and no Philippines pages. Philippines is where we launched recently. How can I tell Google Philippines to give more priority to pages from Philippines and not from other countries

Can someone help?
