Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Is there anyone who can give me a definitive answer on which of the following situations is preferable from an SEO standpoint for the services section of a website?

1. Many unique and targeted service pages with the primary keyword in the URL, Title tag and H1 - but with the tradeoff of having thin content on the page (i.e. 100 words of content or less).

2.  One large service page listing all services in the content. Primary keyword for URL, title tag and H1 would be something like "(company name) services" and each service would be in the H2 title. In this case, there is lots of content on the page.

Yes, the ideal situation would be to beef up content for each unique pages, but we have found that this isn't always an option based on the amount of time a client has dedicated to a project.

We have a client that has syndicated content across a variety of domains.

They have no access to the domain/hosting for the site that the content is being syndicated on, but would like to run PPC campaigns to these pages.

The page is a header, footer and then the main page content is inside of an iframe, and I was wondering if Google will even allow that to be used as a landing page for a PPC campaign?

Thanks!

I'm trying to use Google's Keyword Planner to pull the search volume for a large list of keywords (2000+).

While you're able to upload a CSV of up to 3000 keywords, the search volume search only returns a maximum of 800 keywords per query, which is an issue as I have no idea which keywords it's cutting out.

Is there any way around this? I have looked around online, but haven't been able to find a solid solution.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response Ryan!

This client in particular has physical offices in each location, I should have specified that in the original question.

I'll definitely be taking some time to go through the guideline though.

Thanks!

Great, thanks for the clarification Donna!

i'll definitely go through the guidelines as well.

Thanks again

Hey everyone,

I think i've got a good handle on citations, but had a question regarding multiple locations.

I'm going to be doing citation building for a local lawyer, and he's got 4 locations.

I'd like to build citations for each of his locations, but I was wondering if the business name needs to change?

Ie. If I am building citations for Town 2 and Town 3, should the business name be listed as "Company Name Town 1" for the first location, and "Company Name Town 2" for the second? Or is it fine to use the company name throughout all citations, and just change the location/phone number to the location based info?

I'm just worried about Google seeing differing info, but the same company name, and possibly penalizing me for it.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for getting back on that Abe.

So OSE only ever displays the metrics for that page?

IE. If I enter the root domain: http://test.com, OSE is only going to give me the link metrics for the home page itself, and not the domain?

Thanks again for the clarification!

Thanks for the response Keri,

Unfortunately that's not the case here, the non-www version is actually only showing 35 total links.

Hey everyone,

I've been doing some research into keyword competition, and i've come across a few instances where the data that Mozbar provides differs pretty greatly from what open site explorer is telling me.

An example:

For this site: http://www.bcwsupplies.com

When I have it returned in the serps, Mozbar is telling me there are 21,306 links & 218 linking root domains.

But, when I check the backlink profile via OSE, it's only showing 3,020 links & 88 root domains.

Can anyone shed some insight into this?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response Mark!

I'll check it out and see if it's still a working solution, definitely looks promising.
