How does the grader tool treat keyword "stuffing" in ecommerce
Hello ReniaEats, Googlebot and Google's algorithms are much more sophisticated than those at Moz. If you are sure that the keywords are only used a couple of times on the page, with the exception of templated items like those in the menu, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just write in a language that you think will be compelling to visitors and don't be too concerned with adjusting keyword density on the page. With that said, you may also want to look at the code just to make sure there is no hidden text. Just do a CTL+F (Find) search when viewing the source code and type your keywords to see where they show up outside of the navigation/menu. If you wanted to share the site I'm sure someone could have a look and let you know if there is anything to be concerned about.

We are switching our CMS local pages from a subdomain approach to a subfolder approach. What's the best way to handle this? Should we redirect every local subdomain page to its new subfolder page?
that would depend on your 3rd party agreement and the CMS being used. If it's a CMS like WordPress, then it could be as simple as an export and import from one WordPress installation to the other. Most hosting companies will help their customers migrate their sites from one place to another, or charge a small fee for the process.

Duplicate Content... Really?
Hey David Thanks for reply. 3. Use a plugin to apply rich snippet markup to the individual product pages, adding another layer of "uniqueness" I had thought about this already and was looking into the MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) attribute for products (https://schema.org/mpn) however, it's not clear if, like SKU, the MPN needs to be unique to ProductModel (https://schema.org/ProductModel)? If that were the case, I'd have a problem as there are multiple MPN's per ProductModel. I see https://schema.org/isVariantOf too, which could be useful? Anyone with experience of Schema?

Duplicate meta and title in Google Webmaster Tools not updated?
:insert animated gif from sandlot movie FOR-evv-err: Seriously, it can take a while for the pages to get removed. One week is not going to see the bot recrawl all those pages, most likely 1-2 months. I would resubmit the entire site using fetch as google, and resubmit all linking URLs. Go through your top level menus and resubmit them as well.

Is there anyway to find historical ranking for a specific keyword?
I believe you can get some historical rankings data from SEMRush's Guru plan: http://www.semrush.com/prices.html. With that you should be able to piece something together. But if you're just looking to see if specific competitors were ranking for your targeted terms in the last 12 months, the SEMRush Pro package would work. -Trung

Phone number in Meta Description - Is it a good idea?
Regardless of what the competitor is doing, it does not violate Google guidelines to put a phone number in a meta description. You can put whatever text you want -- especially since the meta description is no longer a ranking factor. Putting the phone number there can be a very good idea -- it minimizes the distance between the prospect and a salesperson. However, the issue is that such a scenario is not easily tracked in analytics (and it probably cannot be tracked at all). I'll post a few links have on how to integrate phone-based inquiries with Google Analytics: How Call Tracking With Google Analytics Increases Your Profits Mobile Calls Are the New Conversions I hope this helps!

For a web agency, can the same WHOIS registrant name information between different domain names hurt SEO?
Having the same registration, in of itself, will not hurt SEO. Where you may run into problems is if you are doing blackhat SEO, or doing things against Google's terms of service. If that happens you could run the risk of your "neighborhood" getting similar punishment/treatment. If you are doing everything correctly, or mostly correctly, then there should be no problems.

Is Moz Local any good? Any better Alternatives?
I'm with you Jim! The power of Yext (IMO) is that they are actually publish the data right away throughout their partner network. Yext also aggregates to a few directories but that is kinda just icing on the cake. I still haven't tried Moz Local yet. I might give it a shot someday here in the near future. Cheers!

Funnel tracking with one page check-out?
The code Martijn suggested will account for this; essentially, it will act the same as if someone was going through a multi-URL checkout, including if/when they go back a step.
