Ok solved. FYI for anyone that was looking... Shitty local 2 pack, which is unavoidable. https://www.brightlocal.com/blog/google-local-2-pack-news/

No, this has been tested across multiple mobile devices in the location.

A business page that I manage performs very well across Google for lots of search terms in my local area. We have focussed on building the quality of the listing ("white hat"), largely by delivering a quality customer service - lots of positive reviews from real customers, plenty of activity...

Been following the sport for years, and both fighters are idiots in their own ways. We all knew Khabib would win with his boring wet blanket act. After Tony Ferguson's performance, hopefully he finally gets in there with Khabib and takes the belt. He's a better human being than both of them.

Hey - don't completely write off the idea that Google's latest update shitstorm hasn't had an effect. This sounds like something that happened to one of my clients, and potential new clients have approached me about similar slow-burn rank drops. Primarily UK-based. There were a lot of search...

Ahrefs is the best tool out there for link analysis, and they've really put some work in to their keyword tool and site audit tool too. Personally, I'd avoid group buys on ahrefs, as other people will see your projects and keyword research history. Some of the tools also use a credits system...

I've actually been approached by 2 ecommerce retailers today. Both established websites, but not big brands, both hyperfocused in different niches, both authoritative. Interestingly, both of the websites did well in the August update, a nice but not huge improvement in rankings and organic...

Manual penalties can be checked for using Google Search Console. There's also a free tool called Panguin by a company called Barracuda - Google it and you will find it. Take it with a pinch of salt, but it may identify key times where your organic traffic has dropped off. It could correlate...

Hopefully he can see the irony in his username...

You can change that awful date-based URL structure to something else in Settings > Permalinks. It really depends on what you're trying to do.

A quick review: I have a very specific requirement for event descriptions, which is an on-going task as new events come along all the time. So I thought I'd trial Connor with 5 events, as I have done with a few other writers outside of BHW. This is also my first purchase from a BHW seller and...

Fantastic research, thanks for this. I'm looking to invest in some decent content over the next few weeks, and this makes my research about a million times easier.

Do a header check on the http:// version of your domain (http headers for Firefox is useful, or you can use an online tool instead). This way you can analyse how the redirect to https works. Make sure it's 301, not 302, as 302 seems to be the default for some platforms. Do this check for some...

Just seen this thread pop up again - now watching. Some great info in here. I run my client SEO in a very similar way. There is never any "one size fits all" solution as all clients are different. Providing real value rather than just "traffic" really makes the difference when it comes to...

Loads of free sources for article images. Just use http://www.pixabay.com/ or http://www.pexels.com/ to grab some. Images get re-used everywhere, I wouldn't worry too much about duplication issues if your text is unique.

Nope.

Good luck - journey followed. I've been putting off a new website launch because I really can't be fucked with writing the content. I've written a bunch of articles already, really high quality stuff, but I can't face finishing the last few. I just need to sit down and get it done...

So basically, you want people to sign up using your affiliate link and want them to do all the work? But you'll put their logo in a standard template, and click a few buttons to install a plugin? Proceed with caution, blackhatters. It's easy for anyone to sign up for a free trial and proceed...

There is no way I'd want that on my desk...

I've built my own expired tumblrs and seen a small ranking boost, coupled in with a few other methods. @jamie3000 has built a sweet expired tumblr finder that's available on his site: http://www.supagrowth.com/ It's free to use too.
