Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello There, Don Quixote's points regarding YMYL sites and use of Google Posts are both good ones. Medical content needs to come from an authoritative source to do its best these days. Using Google Posts to intro your blog posts on your Google Business Profile is also a smart idea. I think, however, you are asking a very specific question here. I believe you are asking (and correct me if I'm wrong) if, let's say, an orthopaedic surgery practice based in San Diego had a blog that featured articles about back injuries, surgeries and therapies, would those blog posts particularly come up for people searching for these topics in San Diego. Is this the scenario you are describing? If so, then what would be key here is that the articles not only be optimized for "lower back surgery options", but also, "San Diego". A blog post like this might be titled something like, What are Your Lower Back Surgery Options in San Diego? And it could feature a review of orthopedic surgical offices in that city. This local optimization would make it clear to Google that the content is written for a particular geographic audience. Otherwise, without the geomodification, you would basically be competing against the rest of the English-speaking world for this keyword phrase and your article wouldn't likely be any more liable to come up for San Diego searchers than for searchers anywhere else in the world. So, your approach to this sort of things deserves careful planning, based on your business location and business model, if you are trying to attract a local audience.

The results on YouTube and on Google, for your current channel should shape and dictate your thinking. Did those videos, even if you perceive them to be low quality, get lots of views? Did they pop up in Google's search results quite often? If your older channel gained no real following or views on the videos, if the videos never seemed to quite make it into Google's results - then they probably wouldn't help your new endeavor. If the older videos wouldn't help your new channel re-brand, why even keep them? If they certainly won't help your future activities, then even a slight chance of them hurting your new channel isn't worth it (at this point, the answer to the original question becomes irrelevant - you'd just start fresh) If the videos failed to perform and you think, Google might even consider them toxic (they were for unproven medicine or medical treatments, they were related to get rich quick or make money online schemes, they were related to porn or gambling somehow) - then just drop them completely. There's no reason to contaminate your new channel with poor quality content The proof factor is in the results though. You can have your human thoughts, but what was achieved through those videos? Why? Maybe they are worth keeping around, maybe not Hope that helps

This is a really good answer. You can also look for messages from Google saying that "mobile first indexing" was enabled for your site / GSC property

Pretty sure it would be: User-agent: Rogerbot Disallow: /*?ajaxCalendar Disallow: /*&ajaxCalendar That would pretty much handle OPs concern there

Hey, I would like to give you a bit of advice, There are many websites that provide listing websites automatically by one click and will give you a number of backlinks. " I mean websites services not humans and you can differentiate " Some of such services are paid and you can find free, but take care: 1- Those links will not be relative to your niche and will be created randomly in their prepared network of domains. 2- You will face spam links among them and start tiring yourself to disavow from them. If you want to do that, the best way is to build manually. And if you can not manage this issue by yourself, you can make a contract with an SEO specialist or agency in order to complete this task for you.

Hi Plenty of opportunity, post an article weekly.  Add in launch date, description, more photo's etc. Reviews set a target of say 50 and see how you go..  Appearing in your local search pack on maps should drive some good brand agnostic leads.. All the best.

Yeah you can do language only hreflangs. But it's pure nonsense to direct Google to the very same URL and state that it is the URL for all of those different languages. At the end of the day, Google will crawl from one data centre at once which may be from one of many countries. It will see one version of the page, and assume that 'this is what the page is' If the site structure is that you have one URL only and the contents are modified based on the user's origin, then the structure is wrong as Google will have a very hard time ranking one URL as many different URLs. People who have such a structure always end up here, always argue why it's ok and then end up 'doing it properly' later on as it just doesn't work Also note that, if you have one version of a page served to people in different regions (e.g: an EN page which is stated in the hreflangs to be for both Canadians and Americans), Google may see that as a 'minimum effort' deployment with no value proposition. Different audiences need tailored content to suit them, so a re-write of some of the content is still expected if you want to see an increased international footprint (and you're not a giant like Santander or Coca-Cola) The number of times I see people clone their EN site into a US folder and just 'expect it to rank' with no extra effort, just with hreflangs - is staggering. Google expect to see a value proposition when you build out your site. Value-prop ('value add'), the #1 yet never talked about ranking factor I don't think your current implementation will work very well, if at all. You may have lots of human-brain reasons why it should - but crawlers are robots

You can use maximum 56 charactar for meta title.

Disavowing has nothing to do with traffic. Disavowing is all about spam signals from spammy links. That and only that.

Hi there! Thanks so much for the great question! The data that populates in the homepage insights module in your Campaign is pulled when your Campaign is initially created and we do not update that info with each crawl like your other data. If something has changed since the Campaign was initially created, that module will not reflect the change. Sorry for that confusion! If you'd like me to look into this further for your specific Campaign, I would be happy to do so! I would just need you to send an email on over to help@moz.com with the Campaign name so we can investigate. I hope this helps!

Yes this tool will tell you everything you need to know to rank. If you check out the guy behind the tool his name is Ted Kubaitis and you will see he is the real deal. It is an advanced tool but it can be used by average SEO people it is just some of the info at times is a bit daunting. You can pick up decent discount codes too. Google 'Cora SEO' and you will some codes for 25% off for the lifetime of the product. There is now a weather report 'similar to other major players' which tells you about Google updates but the difference here is that you can see almost immediately what the update was. If you are serious about SEO you should have at least tried Cora. *disclaimer - I am an affiliate for this tool. Here is an independent piece on Cora https://www.searchenginejournal.com/correlational-on-page-seo-tools/299303/

Thank you, I will follow your advise!

Hi Matt To do this you need to be tracking some sort of conversion or Goal Completion on your forms. The form you are using might have a way to send goals to Google Analytics, but you would have to look into the technicalities. Or you may be able to use a landing page URL as your goal destination (I'm not sure how your form works though). This is a good intro guide to Goals: https://www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-create-a-goal-in-google-analytics-to-track-conversions/ Here is Google's docs on Goals in Analytics: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1012040?hl=en Then once you're tracking Goal Completions on all pages, you can then look in Analytics to see conversion rate by page, and that will tell you which page is converting the best.

I agree with Robin, I don't think there's a solid way to do what you want - or one that is infinitely superior to GA (which also doesn't damage conversion rates). IP addresses by and large, are sometimes inaccurate at the city / town level but they are 'usually' accurate at the national level. The only other option you have in GA is looking at browser language settings and that's incredibly misleading due to most PCs being shipped on US English by default

This is interesting. Most data suppliers will say if scripts break, that's down to the programmer's poor use of error-handling (if/except/fallback statements). It's nice to see that with Moz, there's a little more thought
