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.

You can learn more about this metric here moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

Hi there,

DA states for Domain Authority, which Moz is using to determine how good is your website.

Hi there,

Be sure to redirect all the URLs with trailing slash to the URLs with no trailing slash via 301 redirects. Also, you need to make sure that your canonical tags do not have trailing slashes. Make sure you update all the URLs across your site to no trailing slash, so Google can discover the new URLs faster.

Hi there,

Usually, a managed WordPress hosting means that the hosting company handles back-ups and some other administrative related tasks. I do not think you will see a huge SEO impact by choosing "managed WordPress" hosting over Cpanel hosting at this stage. I would go with shared Cpanel hosting if you are starting out with your own website.

Hi there,

Exactly what Natalie said, plus if your site is losing ranking then I would disavow spammy links too.

Ross

Hi there,

As you might know, do-follow links are passing more weight compare to no-follow, which means your DA can go down. I just do not think that Moz can explicitly say how they calculate their DA metric.

I hope this helps.

Hi there,

You should run a local citation audit since these local links are very important for the local ranking.  If you have a physical location then you should update your business profiles, each containing your Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) to the new address and you should be fine.

Hi there,

As far as I know, Contact Form 7 is not directly saving forms to the database. However, you can get a third party plugin to do that here.

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 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,

Upon checking your site, I see that you do not have canonical tags on the website. You should implement canonical tags across your website. Also, you have a lot of links that are coming from blog comments, profile links, and web 2.0 sites which could be another reason why losing ranking due to the low-quality links. In addition,  do you know what specific pages are losing traffic?

Ross

Hi there,

You need to build more do follow backlinks to your home page in order to increase your PA.
