Welcome to the Q&A Forum

// PLEASE IGNORE THIS RESPONSE, AM TESTING SOMETHING. THANKS!! // One thing I would add is a "Book Services" button or "Request a Quote". I have used this technique on tons of my sites with amazing success. It allows people to feel like they are actually buying something and it takes people from "information requesters" (contact us) to buyers faster. Most sites I create I let them buy right there. But your situation is a little different as you need to give a bid. People want immediate gratification, buy now!!! Let them give you all the info right away if they will. For the booking page/request a quote page: Make check boxes for what people want: -Web Design -Logo Design -Graphic design Make a place for them to upload suggestions or urls of sites they like or Pinterest pins for logo designs. All the things you need to make your life easier. Or that you already request. You can actually use it for every client, so you have a run down of just what they want. Refine it as you find out just what people want from the form. It just takes the customer into your process faster and helps skip steps. Also, I noticed on your navigation you should lump service types together. It is to much to look at quickly and immediately makes me want to look away. I would use something more like (most popular first): Design Services: Graphic Design Logo Design Web Design Marketing Services: content writing social media marketing You get the idea (with a bread crumb trail or hover to show other services). I know you may have put them all on the same services tab because of indexing, but they will all get indexed. Once indexed, the 'child pages' pages will make the 'parent page' Stronger. Example: Parent: Design Services Child: Graphic Design -Logo Design-Web Design The child pages are going to help build more relevance for your page "Design Services" because of your great "Child page" references about different kinds of design. Hope that helps! Visually it looks great!

Ruben, Amber, who heads up Local for us is a master of G maps application for this. Contact me as before and I will get you the directions so you won't have to worry over it.  Best

Calling them and I was able to get it unverified and then I could reverify with an account I had access to.  Thanks for your help!

It's in the Yoast settings Thomas.  Titles & Meta's >> Taxonomies I'm astounded I had never thought of this as the solution to my own issue.  Thanks to everyone above.

Thanks EGOL, I'll take a look. One of the articles I read said the Trusted Store reviews were only related to service, not actual products which is also very limited. Mainly I was thinking the badge would be a plus for consumer confidence. Thanks again!

Thanks, Benjamin.  It's not that we don't know how, I was more interested in best-in-class examples on the internet.  I've seen examples of slideshows/galleries that either have regular pagination or they have a jquery slideshow implementation that doesn't load new pages. Just curious if there are non e-commerce examples of 'view all' pages out there.

Hi Robert, Quick thought on people not bothering to read the subject is I would suggest moving the thumbs up/down button so you can only vote at the bottom of the article (thus assuming you've read it) and this may help stop thumbs down from just title surfing. The only argument I do have for thumbs down is spam now and then it's in the comments so would be nice if we had thumbs removed just an opportunity to flag spammy comments. thanks

Thanks Everett, Rel="canonical" is in place, so that's covered The urls with the parameter are only accessible if you want to directly access a particular size. If you are on the default page and switch sizes from the dropdown, no URL change is presented. I have left webmaster to decide what should be crawled or not. The parameter has been mentioned though.

Great insight guys. I knew I would be going with dashes along but I was having a friendly debate within the office. Thanks again!

Agree with all Tim said. Make sure you are using your browser "incognito" or private and even so Google will see your ip location so you can click on the "search tools" tab and change your location to something like "united states". This will remove the personalized skewing of Google and results can be very different.

Sorry denverish, I have been really busy lol Point number 3 refers to "pinging" your website, to let the search engines know your site has been updated. There are a few spammy ones out there, but I would try using: http://pingomatic.com/ or https://pingler.com/ Pinging is a process by which you can inform major Search Engines and RSS direcotries(Google,Bing,Yahoo,Technorati etc) that you have updated content/URL's in your blog/Website. Pinging can also help in getting website changes indexed quickly.

Hi Erin, Just want to check in and see if campaign transfer was now possible in the glorious year of 2015?  And if not, would you still recommend the "old reports and your historical rankings CSV" method? Thanks in advance! Sara

i did

Even if you do a link: search in Google for a major brand it will still omit the majority of the results. I've seen a brand with 1,000's on linking domains bring back 8 listings in Google using link:www... so if you know the links are there it's not something you need to worry about. There are many more ranking factors than just links so you may need to do a full audit on your site: Refresh content, improve structure, review meta data, review internal/external linking, trim any bad links coming into your site, resolve duplicate/thin content, check for broken links and redirect, improve site speed, enhance your brand with social sites.....there's a long list of things you could be doing and it might be just the sites around you are doing all of this better. Kind Regards

Hi David, Wow, every person who replied has helped me greatly.  Thank you! That tool link you sent me was great.  I am using that as we speak.  I like the Similar Page Checker tool you have.  Question - at what % threshold would you think about consolidating or deleting a similar page?  I have located 2 sets of pages thus far that are very similar. We initially created them to go after similar variations of a keyword.  Ie, "mens-titanium-rings" and "mens-titanium-wedding-bands".  But the products are identical.  That set of pages has a 54% similarity.  Would you ditch one of them?  I'm not sure where the threshold should be. Thanks again!
