Google My Business -Choosing Multiple Categories
Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply and your suggestions. I don't think that we are allowed to choose the first option -creating multiple GMB profiles for a business as there is only one business but supplying different products. I believe this can cause a penalty. I'm going to confirm the second option with the GMB support and update here as well so maybe can help any other person facing the same issue. Have a nice week!

How important are author bios to SEO?
Yes, our subject matter experts who write content have multiple degrees and belong to professional associations. The author bios were originally kept short, so I may have to fill them out a bit, but they're definitely the "real deal" when it comes to their expertise and credentials. Thank you for your insights!

How do I determine if some of our paid keywords should be changed to organic?
Usually you just see which search terms (a more specific subset of keyword data) are working really well for you on PPC. You then exclude those specific search terms (NOT the whole keyword, which may be at least partially matched) from your bidding strategy. Note that this is only a good idea if ONLY you have ads for the term (otherwise you lose your ad, and some users may click on competing ads instead of your organic listing - bad). In modern times most people just go full-balls down both channels, which in the end is probably best - as it's so fiddly to get right, that the time spent doing so often exceeds the cost-efficiency yield

Disallowed "Search" results with robots.txt and Sessions dropped
If you have a site with, at least 30k URLs, looking at only 300 keywords won't reflect the general status of the whole site. If you are looking for a 10% loss in traffic, I'd start by chasing the pages that lost more traffic, then analyzing whether they lost rankings or if there are some other issues. Another way to find where there is traffic loss is in search Console, looking at keywords that aren't in the top300. There might be a lot to analyze. It's not a big deal having a lot of pages blocked in robots.txt when what's blocked is correctly blocked. Keep in mind that GSC will flag those pages with warnings as they were previously indexed and now are blocked. That's just how they've set up flags. Hope it helps. Best luck. Gaston

White Label Subdomain Competing with Top Level Domain?
There has long been a debate about whether it's easier to rank subfolders or subdomains and you'll find people on both sides of that argument. Usually inherent in that argument is that the branding and navigation will be the same across the whole site including subdomains. In your case though, you are basically building a separate site as a subdomain with its own branding, navigation, and URL structure. Even though subdomains are said to be treated as a separate site, we still feel like it's not quite the same as being a totally separate site, so our suggestion is that you will probably be better off building out that site on a new domain rather than a subdomain. We'd be curious to hear from others on this topic too.

Malicious backlinks
Hi I agree with Noozle. If the toxic links represent a small percentage of the total number of links, it should not be a problem. If you can get those links that point to your website removed, it will always be positive regards

Should I submit an additional sitemap to speed up indexing
I personally would not. There is no need to submit an additional sitemap when you can just ping google to crawl your site at anytime. Google will put you in a que and crawl you almost immediately. I would not recommend abusing this. Only ask Google to index your website when you have new content or Google is taking to long to index current content. The more fresh content you provide, the more Google will re-visit your page and continue to index you Hope this helps!
