We've been trying to use the GMB Q&A feature as a lot of customers seem to be engaging with the listing/asking relevant questions.

However, sometimes we answer a question directly from the business listing account but it does not appear (no error message is shown when posting either). When we go to re-post the answer, the text is sometimes still visible in the answer box field.

Any ideas what might be causing the issue?

I want to use some content that I sent out in a newsletter a while ago - adding it as a blog to my website.

The newsletter exists on a http://myemail.constantcontact.com URL and is being indexed by Google.

Will this count as duplicate content?

What are the implications if a web designer codes the content of the site twice into the page in order to make the site responsive? I can't add the url I'm afraid but the H1 and the content appear twice in the code in order to produce both a responsive version and a desktop version. This is a Wordpress site. Is Google clever enough to distinguish between the 2 versions and treat them individually? Or will Google really think that the content has been repeated on the same page?

Good plan, thanks for this and all your help.

Thanks Oleg, great advice. That makes complete sense. We have done this and I will let you know if it works.

Thanks for this. The url is http://www.thevictorianemporium.com/

Can anyone offer any advice on how Google might get the url which it displays in search results wrong?

It currently appears for all pages as:

<cite>www.domainname.com › Register › Login</cite>

When the real url is nothing like this. It should be:

www.domainname.com/product-type/product-name.

This could obviously affect clickthroughs.

Google has indexed around 3,000 urls on the site and they are all like this.

There are links at the top of the page on the website itself which look like this: Register » Login » which presumably could be affecting it?

Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Thanks for sharing everyone, this is really interesting stuff. Has anyone tried the 301 redirect from a site which has been penalised to a new domain but with masking enabled so that the user can't tell the redirect has taken place? Will the penalty travel?

Thanks

We are trying to get a UK-based children's furniture website to rank in Dubai. We have had a couple of orders from wealthy expats in Dubai and it seems to be the correct target market. Does anyone have any specific knowledge of this area?

We are promoting the same website as for the UK market.

Also does anyone know any user behaviour stats on expatriates using search engines? Do they carry on using the version of Google they are used to, or do most change to the local version of Google?

Thanks in advance
