Here's a scenario for you:
The site is running WordPress and the images are uploaded to the media section. You can set image attributes there such as the Description & Alt Tag.
Let's say you'd like to reuse the same image in two different blog posts. The image keeps the same Description & Alt Tag associated with it in the media section.
Would this be considered duplicate content?
What would be the best practice in this case to reuse the same image in multiple posts?
We have multiple 800 numbers that point to local DIDs. It is my understanding that a toll-free number cannot be standalone, according to our telephone company. I'd ask your client to find out what DID it's pointing at. A DID is usually a local number. Hope this helps!
It is an interesting case here with lots of variables involved. Since your client wants to promote the new business over the old business, why not just get a brand new local phone number for the new business? You can still keep the old phone number as well.
The old number will have the NAP for the old business. The new one will do the same for the new business. Yes - It will be a bit annoying have two phone lines coming into the office physically, but it's doable and manageable.
And let's say your client decides to phase out the old business all together in the future. Then you'd simply forward the old number to the new one.
You bet, Rich. As Alick points out you should also consider these points:
It's a good idea to have unique local phone numbers for each business. The attorneys in the example above have that.
Can customers actually come there on location and transact business with you?
It's probably not going to be doable to add a suite number to your address since you're not in a commercial building.
A friend of mine is an attorney that shares a law office space (an old house converted into an office) that’s located in a mixed-zone area downtown. If you looked at the address and the physical space, you couldn’t tell it’s a commercial building. There is a small sign that hangs outside of it that says “Law Offices” and has each attorney's name on it. He specializes in personal injury and has his own brand/practice/website. The three other attorneys he shares the space with have their own practices (divorce law, traffic tickets, etc.) They also have their own brands & websites.
All rank pretty well in local search for their respective markets.
In my opinion, as long as both services are unique in what they are offering, having the same address should not be an issue.
Hi, Edmond,
Is it just the blog content you’re looking to translate or the entire site?
If it’s the entire site, you may consider putting all of your English content under a /en/ subdirectory. For example: http://yoursite.com/en/englishcontentgoeshere.
As far as the blog by itself goes, I think you would be able to employ the same structure.
Alternatively, you may consider putting all of the English content under a Category called “Content in English” or something similar. This is probably the simplest approach.
One important thing to consider is your target market. Are you targeting English-speaking audience in U.S. or in other countries? Where is your Spanish-speaking site based at and who is your target audience? You will need to plan for that and localize accordingly.
