Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the great answer. I had a feeling it wasn't right and why I shared it as a question. You know when you get that bad gut feeling? That is what I got when they sent us this - it seem wrong and off for some reason. I am glad we checked it out! And I am glad this site has great community of members as yourself to help.

Now off to find a reliable company.

I am looking to hire an SEO company each have there own ideas and strengths. My concerns are what is good and what is bad.

Here is one company where their Silver Package fits within our budget. But there are a lot of features on here we do know if is it good or bad SEO. I attached the packages they send us.

If we were to hire an SEO Company to do our offsite SEO, what should we be looking for that is considered whitehat seo for 2015?

Nice idea - I have already started this. I just now have to include it for each listing. Thanks!!

Pretty much everyone has the same feed. Would it be wise to include the original source. Seeing we are getting the data from REALTOR.ca - point the canonical to where the listing comes from. I am new to this stuff - so I am hoping that I am getting this right.

Thanks T

I just recently signed and joined the moz.com system.

During the initial report for our web site it shows we have lots of duplicate content. The web site is real estate based and we are loading IDX listings from other brokerages into our site.

If though these listings look alike, they are not. Each has their own photos, description and addresses. So why are they appear as duplicates – I would assume that they are all too closely related. Lots for Sale primarily – and it looks like lazy agents have 4 or 5 lots and input the description the same.

Unfortunately for us, part of the IDX agreement is that you cannot pick and choose which listings to load and you cannot change the content. You are either all in or you cannot use the system.

How should one manage duplicate content like this? Or should we ignore it?

Out of 1500+ listings on our web site it shows 40 of them are duplicates.
