Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The first way is how I would do it. I tend to think of it in terms of how I would typically answer a question in the real world. "Where do you work?" at a "Pet store in Boston, MA".

Thanks Toby, do you think that this has any negative SEO value?

The plugin is redirecting all traffic to that URL, whether the user actually decides to share the page or not.

I have a client, heartlandplastic.com who uses a social SEO plugin which makes all of the URL's a bit wonky, for example, the homepage gets redirect to http://www.heartlandplastic.com/#sthash.Cyt22dM0.dpbs

Do you think I should find an alternative social share plugin, or that this plugin is fine, as is? They seem to be ranking fine for their immediate area.

Thank you!

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the feedback both of the services you referenced have policies that make it difficult to remarket for Medical.

Hi Moz'ers,

I work with primarily medical practices and have had a huge issue with remarketing. AdWords no longer allows remarketing to the medical industry per their policies, not even branded. I've tried working with Ad Roll, and they only permit "branded" remarketing ads, meaning no specific call outs on procedures.

Has anyone worked with a remarketing service with less restrictions in the medical industry?

Thanks!

In general, How do you recommend handling clients that are persistent about targeting a location that is very far away from their physical location, i.e. the client is in Providence, RI, but wants to target Boston, MA.

I typically give them a discussion about how they will not rank in the 7 packs, particularly post pigeon, but wanted to know if the Moz community had any other tips since this seems to come up so frequently.

Thank you!

Thank you everyone for the excellent feedback!

If you are using a plugin such as Yoast- you can ask to no-follow and de-index tags and category pages that would cause this duplicate content issue. This way only your blog post url will be indexed but users on the site can still access the tag links.

I agree with Ryan,

This is essentially a link wheel, and seems like it will have short terms success. Always link with a purpose and have the user experience in mind.

Hello everyone,

I have a client who is obsessed with his videos being indexed directly under his site. We've already labeled his videos with his names, enhanced the meta data to the video to include his name, have added his website to his YouTube Channel, and also have synced his Google Plus Business Page with his YouTube Channel. Any other tips to further optimize his videos with his name? This is a new channel, with an age of only 2 weeks- but this client is being quite loud, and thought I would see if any Moz'ers have any other tips/ suggestions?

Thanks Everyone!

In short- Yes, you are being unreasonable. You are not allowing the SEO to do their job, and will be hindering your own results.
