I've moved a few hundred miles away from my previous home where my GMB address is listed at but I still do work in the City and rent out my previous home in that city. I am always in the 3-pack results for all related search queries that generate the 3-pack. The tenant is not happy with the junk...

Bare with me, this is a pretty detailed background... Have a franchise business in several cities. The GMB name is the same for the GMP Listings "{Company} {Something} {Else} Inspection & Repair" This was setup 4 years ago along with using some self-service tools to submit NAP to all 1st and...

Have a Wordpress site that has decent security software and uses a few major plugins that are automatically updated. Was hacked so that site was redirecting to various sites. Believe it happened about 5-10 days ago. Noticed a significant drop in search rankings about 5 days ago. Logged into...

I know a lot of people use SEMrush (including myself). I'm been a bit disappointed lately as it appears the accuracy of their positon tracking is pretty unreliable compared to other position tracking services I've used (such as Whitespark). I tested rankings for many keywords and campaigns and...

Example website is a photography business in multiple cities, the prime keywords are: Wedding Photography Service Event Photography Service Product Photography Service And close behind these (or possibly of equal importance are): City A Photography Service City B Photography Service City C...

I have a site with multiple locations. I have four types of pages for my locations. - A STATE page (like California) that has unique content related to services California and then links to all my city location landing pages for California - A STATE SUPPLEMENTAL INFO page that has additional...

From what I understand, Googles no longer has a "Duplicate Content Penalty" instead duplicate content simply isn't show in the search results. Does that mean that any links in the duplicate content are completely ignored, or devalued as far as the backlink profile of the site they are linking...

Ahref intersect report is showing many of my competitors on multiple .pw domains. They have little domain authority. But interesting to find many of them on there. It's a directory backlink service. Is there any potential upside or just potential downside? Is the only value in that it just...

I've been studying Local SEO from the perspective of local 3-pack ranking for the past couple of years and have been involved in Organic SEO much longer. While SEO isn't my primary area of expertise, I have found the 3-pack fascinating as in many cases it just "doesn't make sense" While there...

I want to be clear that I'm not referring to a re-crawl, but a re-index. Now I realize there are a gazillion ranking signals and most of the stronger signals are probably not on-page signals (although page title, headers, and anchor text *combined* is probably a relatively strong signal) so...

Absolutely perplexed on the ranking factors for Google Maps (hence also the 3-pack in normal search results). Are seeing search queries that return 3-pack and organic result like this and wondering why these sites are getting 3-pack preference? Not that sites 2 and 3 are no closer to the test...

We are doing some local SEO for our business which is in 10 cities. We have built a city page with unique content for each city and linked to a unique contact page with contact information unique for each city. The content on our existing page is fairly thin. 2/3 of it is the same amongst all...

I know this is not technically SEO, but it's "Black Hat" related. We're seeing a jump in Adwords clicks without changes to account. The other day I was thinking, what is preventing someone from creating a fake review site, or distributing an article that instead of linking to our site, it...

I'll make this quick and simple. Let's say you have a business located in several cities. You've built individual pages for each city (linked to from a master list of your locations). For SEO purposes is it better to have the URL be a subfolder, or a parameter off of the home page URL...

Anyone tried to decipher the factor in the default sorting order on Yelp? I've not done any formal testing but from experience my gut feel is as follows (chime in with your own opinion based on your own observations). On searches - #1 factor is of course keyword(s) appear in category business...

I have done Local SEO and we are ranking in local 3-pack 90% of the time for 80% of our target keyword phrases. I would like some *SAFE* boost for local backlinks. We already have citations in all services (Google Places, Bing Places, Yelp, Yellowpages, Superpages, EVERYTHING). This must be...

My guess is you want to do the {title} | {company name} format as I would suspect Google gives slightly more weight to the words at the beginning of the title? (This is assuming your company name isn't a generic word or you are specifically trying to rank your home page for your company name...

Looking for a proxy server that I can subscribe to that is city specific (Seattle, WA USA is one city I know I need for sure) and the proxy will rotate the IPs for that City automatically at some interval (could be once a day, prefer a little more frequent) Low cost. Decent anonymity...

Can anyone recommend a site or site(s) to broadcast an official company press release on?

Our business is in 10 cities. We offer identical services in each city, there's absolutely nothing different about the services we offer based on location. We have a contact page for each city with a bit of unique content (phone, address, photo of city, list of counties we service). It really...
