Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Sorry to disappoint you but look to me lately that Google show new sites up (same with new maps) for few days and then they drop to their natural position.

i was coming across this few weeks ago with one of my customers projects and seance then i am checking it and see most sites show up there for few days and drop down.

hope it will stay up for you

Mike

first i will say don't go to fast if you want to be up there for a long time and not just for few weeks, so sure let Google do it's work naturally.

regard Yahoo i just answer the same question , go here https://ecom.yahoo.com/dir/reference/cost  and submit your Site and you be surprised what $300 can do, it will also help you with Bing and Google.

hope that help

Mike

i will highly recommend you stay with one main site that refer to "local office" and you can also do many different maps on the sub domains.

I working on 2 sites that are the same for what you referring ( not franchise but with local offices) and they are up with all main keywords and city sub domains sample at 123locksmith.com

also as you said it will be way more easy for you to control this site and rank it up.

hope that help

Twitter, Facebook and any other social media site will help you in Google terms but few things here:

first you don't want to post tweets all day and link to your site, that's a big no. keep it natural try to have your customers follow you and give them relevant information of your industry.

sure sometimes you can run deals (i am not sure what you sale or service) and tweet about that , just make sure your site and twitter account linking one to the other.

do the same with Facebook and few others and yea it will help in the long run and not only to your ranking as don't forget ranking its not the all game customers are and if you communicate true social media it will help you in the long run for sure.

hope that help

HI, first i will support other answers and will not recommend the redirect from the same reasons.

regard the URL i will like you to look at this site that i am working on www.123locksmith.com and see the way we did the city pages.

working great with this system and this site is up in major keywords and city, i will recommend you have some changes in the content and not just change the city name.

i will recommend to start with the city pages from day one because if you will work on a strong DA by the time you get to this pages it will be easy to work on.

hope that help you

That's and interesting question and to be honest i didn't pay attantion to this one before as an SEO factor.

So i did some research and look to me that there is no effect of your SEO plan or your site ranking if your domain renew every year or every 3 years.

Infect i manage more then 3000 domains for myself and my customers , most 1 year and all ranking very high t so  bottom line after research and from personal experiance i don't see any problem or different with one year domain

hope that help

Before i can answer that i need to ask you if other ads appearing for your keywords ???

if they do you can file a complaint with Google and this way they will drop and you still be up with your low budget PPC.

well, the fist thing i need to said is "there is no spam keywords there is a web spam to this keywords" so i will suggest the follow.

first really search into it and read the last panda update from google and penguin to have some more idea of what need to be done.

after you will understand that you will have more idea of what i am saying next.

start with your site and make SURE you don't have so many keywords in your content ( i will recommend 2-3%)

have your site optimize with the right url's and the right pages and content for the type of services (business)

start with a press for what you do i will recommend to use PRWEB .

try finding good sites and forums to talk about your site and i will said use Seomoz tools to figure out how good is the site.

try not spamming your site by creating landing pages and divert crags list ads to them.

there is lot more to do and when you start you will get the hang of it.

hope i help you to start , good luck

let me start and say that you don't need to do anything in your SEO strategy if you are ranking up on Google and not in Yahoo.

go to this page https://ecom.yahoo.com/dir/reference/cost  and submit your site you will be surprised $300 can do ,it's correct to say that Yahoo take the info from Bing but it go both ways.

another thing i can recommend if your site work on Local level it's yahoo maps and that will also help you with Google as they show Yahoo maps in Google search.

hope that help you

well same here i agree with EGOL and will not try any "tricks" this days.

if she already have links from all relevant sites go to the next step and get her more customers by starting social media marketing.

you can also just to feel that you are doing the job for her and it will also help get a press out there and talk about the new models she have.

hope that help

Mike

OK, i will recommend you to rty take the bid up and track if for few days but the best thing to do and that's what i would do with thing like that because you are going to get many different answers here, just call 1-877-509-4289 for Google Adword , they will get you the correct answer in few min and you will not need to research anymore.

sorry i couldn't help more but i think that will get you the right answer before you spend your time and search for all the answers you will get here

hope that help
