Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Andy,

Yes, I heard about the local pack ads. Can't blame Google though, it's a good business opportunity from their perspective.

I will monitor the rankings closely and watch for any further drops. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen!

Thanks for your help.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply.

The software we use takes a few days to update and the last update was 06/07/16 (UK date format). When looking at movements over the last 30 days it still shows that rankings are down over this period.

Interestingly, it was around a month ago that I changed the page title of the homepage and inner landing pages to be location specific.

However, the rankings for more general terms "logo design" and "logo design uk" did increase in rank after making this change, it's only now that they have decreased again.

The site now occupies position 1 on the organic SERP and position 1 in the local pack for "logo design london". Could it be that the reshuffle is due to the location based changes?

EDIT: Sorry, I should also add that we use Analytics SEO to see link acquisition. I believe it gathers data from Majestic SEO and Search Console.

Thanks

Matt

Hello fellow SEOs,

I am having a few issues with one of the sites I manage. The site in question has dropped for a number of terms in the last 7 days, including:

• logo design - dropped 2 places, now 19th
• logo design uk - dropped 2 places, now 8th
• logo designer - dropped 3 places, now 20th
• bespoke logo design - dropped 3 places, now 10th

I'm worry that the site might drop for more terms if I just leave it alone. I haven't made any changes to the site but I have noticed that our number of inbound links has increased by 58% in the last 7 days.

I have put the site through OSE and used the spam analysis tool. There's only one domain linking to my client that has an orange spam flag but this link isn't newly acquired.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for looking, at least I know it's not just me!

Thank you for your help and have a great weekend, will see if the team can help

A couple that we have been looking at most recently are http://www.sandcslatter.com/ and www.mobilervmaintenance.co.uk

This particular problem we have been having for a while now, probably a couple of months or so. We have had a few problems with reports on the site today and I saw a tweet from SEOmoz earlier saying something was broken and they were working on it so I would guess that the problem you are having is down to this

Hi

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the internal links metric in the Linkscape report. I have run the report for a number of sites that I know have internal links in them but often get the result of just 1 internal link when I run the Linkscape report and I am not sure why

Thanks
