Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks

You Should have a self hosted website. Do not use Wix or Squarespace. SEO is terrible on these platforms.

Hi Zach, The screenshot is here: http://sirocco-web-design.com/metatags-screenshot.png Thanks for replying!

I'm using www.jigsy.com . It's pretty good, but there have been a few times when I've had to code my own html to get something to work

Hi, Cool question! I previously ran a startup that was essentially an aggregator, something similar to an OTA, but we were aggregating classes instead of properties/homestays. I found that the best way to structure the site was some thing like this: 1. Home (Targeting the biggest, baddest keyword you can find) https://qualistay.com/ 1.2 Category pages Broad keywords in each category (in your case, 'tenerife south apartments for rent' etc) You currently have this as https://qualistay.com/properties/tenerife/  I'd have gone with creating multiple 'category' pages like  https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas https://qualistay.com/tenerife-north/apartments https://qualistay.com/tenerife-north/villas 1.2.1 Sub-Category pages Still relatively broad, but more specific keywords You didn't choose to sub-categorize these pages even more, but here's what I would have done: https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments/adeje https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/adeje https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments/arico https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/arico https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/apartments/granadilla-de-abona 1.2.1.1 Property pages Specific keywords https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/playa-de-las-americas/villa-victoria These pages would tend be targeting the so-called 'brand keyword' of each individual property. Structuring your site this was enables you to include the targeted keywords in your URLs and enables you to rank almost every single page efficiently based purely on the location of each property. In this manner, you would be able to rank for the top tier keywords which I'm guessing is 'tenerife villas' and 'tenerife apartments', the 2nd tier keywords which would be 'tenerife south villas for rent', 'tenerife south apartments for rent' and the 3rd tier keywords which would be 'playa de las americas villas for rent'. You also get the benefit of ranking for each individual property's 'brand name' like 'villa victora tenerife south'. If the property happens to fall on the same building, then you can sub-categorize it even further like  https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/playa-de-las-americas/villa-victoria/level-1 https://qualistay.com/tenerife-south/villas/playa-de-las-americas/villa-victoria/level-2 Hope this helps!

Ok, thank you. now it's clear and it makes sense take care marco

+1 regarding that's not necessary to change the domain structure over just a little higher PA. The way it is now is just fine. Although, i do not agree with that best practice that Martin is saying. I do not believe that there is no gain with www o non-www. The difference could be in the users/visitors in any particular case. Best Luck! GR.

Hey there, Have you tried uploading the URL's to the Google Search Console and "S_ubmitting to Index_"?  https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?continue=/addurl Also, upload the Sitemap.xml and make sure you have proper internal linking so all the pages are easy to get found and crawled. Try this and let me know if it works. Cheers, Martin

Always go with a 301 redirect as long as your other urls do not have spam links associated with them, I consider it best practice to always do 301s.

What you can do is basically refresh the page and see if the menus still work. If the menu itself is still working at that point you'll know that there is no JS needed to run see the menu. The alternative is just checking in the Console to see if the code is being rendered there.

Google Analytics will only work if it is installed on an actual website, just a domain cannot be linked to a GA account as there is no site for its code to be placed on and measured.

Thank you, Nicholas. We don't mind the temporary drop in rankings as we're sure we can amp it up soon. But, can't we ever remove the page from the back-end? At some point, we would like to clean our back-end and remove all the pages that are not part of the website anymore.

Hi Jacob, Is the mobile version significantly different in terms of content? If they're the same, I wouldn't worry too much about this. Google's priority seems to be on a good mobile experience anyway, so I'd be more concerned if this was happening in the opposite direction. But as long as they're correctly seeing that you have a mobile-friendly site (your site looks beautiful by the way!), and they're able to access all of the content regardless of user-agent, I'd consider this a low priority fix. That said, if you haven't already, I'd suggest checking out your mobile vs desktop rankings (especially if you know when the issue started and can do a before and after comparison) and see if there's a significant discrepancy there. Of course there will always be minor differences in mobile vs desktop but if it's a big difference that could be a sign that this is causing real issues and should be fixed asap. Hope that helps!

Hi there! Jo from the Moz Support Team here. I would agree with both Martin and Alick on the broader implications. In terms for DA and PA specifically I'm afraid we don't currently support gTLDs in our index, which would be why you're seeing PA and DA of 1. Here are the TLDs currently supported. Unfortunately, I don't know of a good workaround for this right now, but it is something we're working on. I'll pass your query along to my team so they are aware. Sorry I don't have better news on this one. Jo

I'm glad I could help! Let me know if you hit any walls with the implementation.

Thanks a lot Martin, will keep that in mind.

Make sure the redirects from http --> https are 301 redirects Make sure the canonical URLs have been updated to https Make sure your sitemap URLs have been updated to https

Harini, you're asking a pretty broad question and the answer is likely a long a complex one only to be arrived at after careful analysis and consideration. That said, when I read your question I got the sense that you're focusing on on-page ranking factors only; that you may be forgetting about all the other things that go into boosting your rankings and conversions. For example, your site seems to be light on external backlinks compared to others competing for the same term (mobile app development company in India) and you seem to be using a mix of www and non-www URLs. If I've misunderstood, can you rephrase your question? You might get more specific responses.

Hi there, If you're seeing the links reporting in a tool search as Open Site Explorer or Majestic, it could be that they crawled the link and since then, it has been removed. So I'd always trust looking at the site itself. Also make sure you check the Google cache of the page to see if the link is there somewhere. If you can't find the link, I wouldn't worry about the disavow file, but keep a note of the sites that you're concerned about just in case you do need to disavow in the future for some reason. Cheers. Paddy

Hi Mahendra, The page authority could differ because of age of the post, amount of back links to the post, length of the post in comparison to the others, social shares etc. - but, in my opinion, don't bother with page authority too much. Rather focus on the domain authority. This should give you an overall picture about the website and link building possibilities. Try to compare websites instead of particular pages of just one website. Hope it helps, Martin
