Hi there,
Google is experiencing some indexing issues at this time. They supposed to fix that bug by the end of the month. Also, make sure you have submitted your sitemap via GSC.

You cannot tell Google what Image you want to show it there. Things do not work that way.

Hi Ankit,
You need to report this image by clicking on a flag on the right top corner of the image and then choose "Not a photo of this place".

Hi there,
You need to claim your Knowledge Graph and then make a request to update your logo.

Hi there,
Your spam score will not change if you disavowed links via Google Search Console. Moz has no way of knowing that you disavowed any links. By disavowing these links you just telling Google to do not count them.
Ross
Hi there,
I have seen people using this strategy and it is working so far.
Ross
Hi there,
You should get more quality links if you want to improve your spam score.

Hi there,
Having a blog on a different server should not affect an SEO, but having a blog on the subdomain will affect your SEO efforts.
Ross
Hi there,
Moz has a great blog post about on-page ranking factors. This information would be very useful for you.

Hi there,
You can add more keywords to your Google My Business Title.
For example you can you change your title to “ A Senior Journey - Senior Placement Services”. This should trigger an algorithm.

Hi there,
Upon checking your site I see that your site has been indexed already by Google, which is more important. Also, I see that your site has 4 backlinks which is quite low, that could be another reason why your site has not been crawled by Moz yet. You need to wait a little bit longer or build more links since every site is going through the crawling queue priority. For example, sites with more links will be crawled more frequently compared to the sites that have fewer links.
Ross
Hi there,
You still will get value from your backlinks if you do a 301 redirect on the server level. When doing 301 redirect you are losing about 30% of SEO juice, so it is better to update your links to the new site. For the new links, you should link them to https://www.domain.com at all times. Yes, you are correct www ( CNAME) subdomain is considered as a new entity, that's why it is ok not to use www in your domain.

Hi Lindsey,
They are not the same, but the contractors from Bing that were behind the quality check at that time could have marked that page as duplicative. I saw that happened on Google. Also, I think the issue could be that these two pages look alike in terms of design, and folks from Bing might think there is no reason to have these two pages in the SERPS because they look very similar. They cannot tell the exact issue because you will reverse engineer the problem.

Hi Katarina,
You need to set up two GMB locations. One location has to be in the USA and another one has to be in the UK. Also, you have to have a physical location in both countries in order to receive the postcards from Google and verify your listings.
You can add www.example.com/us/ version of the site to the "website field "in the GMB, and you add a regular version of the site to another GMB( UK Version).

Hi there,
I have a similar problem with my title tag. Google appended ":" to my title, but I do not even have that sign in my title. I do not have any schema markup on that site at all, so I do not think it has something to do with Schema Mark-Up. I tried to reindex and change the title, of that page but ":" does not go anywhere. Btw when you have rebranded the website? It is possible that Google needs more time to update the databases.
Ross
You can create specific landing pages and target states, city or counties.
For example, if you want to rank in California for web design you should create something like this.
website.com/service/web-design/los-angeles
website.com/service/web-design/san-francisco
website.com/service/web-design/san-diego
Then you would try to rank each for " Web design company in Los Angeles"
I hope this helps
Hi Christian,
Try to update your home page by adding additional content to it or rewriting the existing content on the home page. Do not forget to reindex the home page after your update. In addition, you should install the Rank Math SEO plugin and regenerate the sitemap. Once, you have a new sitemap then you should resubmit the sitemap to GSC. You should only keep the URLs in the sitemap, but no images. If you want to remove some of your pages from the index you should set those pages to 410 Gone instead of 404 status. Also, I do not see that you have a link to your sitemap on your home page. You should add a link to the sitemap into your footer.

Hi there,
