  • Hi Becky Concentrate on the on-page content. If H1 and H2 are properly aligned where H1 virtually copies the page title and H2 are reserved for headings just ensure that you write contextually rich content on the page. The more the better but don't keyword stuff or ramble on for nothing. A shorter page which is engaging, with images and maybe video is better than a long rambling piece that people will bounce off. Regards Nigel

  • Thanks. I ended up "no indexing" those pages. Someone else told me not to "no follow", so I changed it back to "follow". Haven't really seen any changes on the SERPs from doing this, so not sure if these pages were causing any issues. Thanks again.

  • Thank you Joe! I'll take a look at the article link you provide. Hopefully, I'll find the culprit.

  • +1 on Tim's response Also noticed that you're missing "" around your review text ("reviewBody": Fantastic firm. We immediately felt welcome, relaxed, and confident about our case.,)–if there are any errors in your schema markup, that'll prevent Google from displaying it.

  • Hmmm, this is a difficult question to answer as this is determined by bid type, demographic, business sector, bid amount, quality scores, ad copy, your competitors and more etc There are too many variables to give you an exact answer.

  • Do you consider the 2 nd being best because the subject is "your bicycle ride" instead of "you" ? I am actually targeting "alsace bike tours" as a sentence but this sentence is part of the highlights of my tour. Maybe in that case it is better to write "Today, your bike tour takes you to Obernai." or doesn't it matter ? Thank you,

  • Search Engine crawlers don't pay much attention to HTML sitemaps - they're considered thin/worthless pages with no real value, since they're just a huge collection of links with no context. Build them so they are useful and relevant for a human visitor, or just make sure your site navigation and internal search is well-thought-out and drop the HTML sitemap altogether (which is my strong recommendation).

  • Simone, I've meant to set the configuration in Google search console, going to: search traffic -> international configuration. There go to the country tab and select your country. Best luck. GR.

  • Since you are WordPress, install "Really Simple SSL" plugin https://really-simple-ssl.com/ You have a mixed content warning as well as the redirect problem. Really Simple SSL will fix that pretty painlessly. Worth the $25 for the premium version but the free version is also great. Also looks like your host may be WP Engine? They can work with you to help as well. I see the mixed content warning if I go directly to the page: https://intercallsystems.com/nurse-call-manufacturer/

  • Hi, I would advise against this for a couple reasons. First of all, dropping and re-adding pages to the index isn't quick, it often takes weeks before Google will obey a noindex tag. Second, even if it were quick, is going to cause problems at the authority level - is your site a trustworthy source of information? This week, yes, next week, no. It's best to have long-term content that can build trust/authority over time without ephemeral. An alternative approach you might take is writing content about the particular trials offered, this will help prevent thin content. You might also consider adding a call to action on empty pages that prompt users to provide an email address and you'll notify them when trials of type XYZ have opened back up.

  • I mentioned both.  You add a meta robots to noindex and remove from the sitemap.

  • I am still trying to decipher rather you're talking about them pointing to your site that resolves in these codes or if when you query the URLs or domains they are giving you these codes: 401, 403, 410, 500, 502, 503I still think that I need to see a little bit more information however if you are cleaning house and you have backlinks that resolve to dead domains and 404's etc. Please remember anyone can make these domains and URLs live anytime. so it is best to err on the side of caution and disavow spamming backlinks. whether or not they're coming from dead / 500 backlink or hitting your site with an unauthorized 401.( I have placed what the codes mean below in hopes that it may be of some help to you)Successful 2xx 200 Status OK 201 Created 202 Accepted 203 Non-Authoritative Information 204 No Content 205 Reset Content 206 Partial Content Redirection 3xx 300 Multiple Choices 301 Moved Permanently 302 Found 303 See Other 304 Not Modified 305 Use Proxy 306 (Unused) 307 Temporary Redirect Client Error 4xx 400 Bad Request 401 Unauthorized 402 Payment Required 403 Forbidden 404 Not Found 405 Method Not Allowed 406 Not Acceptable 407 Proxy Authentication Required 408 Request Timeout 409 Conflict 410 Gone 411 Length Required 412 Precondition Failed 413 Request Entity Too Large 414 Request-URI Too Long 415 Unsupported Media Type 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable 417 Expectation Failed Server Error 5xx 500 Internal Server Error 501 Not Implemented 502 Bad Gateway 503 Service Unavailable 504 Gateway Timeout 505 HTTP Version Not Supported I hope this helps,Tom

  • I think the community needs to look at the AMP project roadmap and recognize that AMP HTML isn't only for blogs and news sites. Google is very active in promoting AMP standards, and now it's possible to create a full e-commerce website using 100% AMP HTML. And because analytics tells us 86% of visitors find us on a mobile device, we've committed to building out a 100% AMP site. I'll post back after the launch and report on our results.

  • Thanks. How about if a h1 tag is in a module by itself for example on wordpress at the top of my page. Can it hurt ? wouldn’t it better if the h1 closed at the end of my page so that it includes my h2 h3 tags within the h1 for search engine to understand the relation between all the h tags ?
