  • Have you tried consolidating the tags as much as possible? Custom variables may help to do this: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/topic/7683268?visit_id=0-636607210631473682-3757403381&rd=1 From what I know, if you can avoid multiple containers it’s better. However I’d recommend checking out this for more info: https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/devguide?hl=en#multiple-containers I hope that helps

  • Thanks EGOL this is precisely what I need.  We're all dentists so have all the things you're talking about.  Apart from me - I'm a lawyer - and I figure it's like court.  You can't just say you're something or someone - they want a certain standard of proof. I'm busy getting all the professional bodies and associations pointing at the right people and pages and trying to get my people (who've all been to uni a few times) to write for their universities and members associations so we can get links from them too. This is how they appear in the SERPS - but I'm working on making it like that for everyone. Dr MJ Rowland-Warmann BSc BDS MSc Aes.Med. MJDF RCS (Eng) <cite class="iUh30">https://www.smileworksliverpool.co.uk/team/mj-rowland-warmann/</cite> Rating: 4.9 - ‎230 reviewsDr MJ BSc BDS (Manc) MSc Aes.Med. (Lond) MJDF RCS (Eng) is our captain and co-founder She's loved by all and practices with formidable talent. I will look into google scholar.  I publish all their papers and studies in an 'academic resources' section too - I want to get google scholar to link to that or get them published. It's only university essays though and not peer reviewed stuff so might be a struggle. I've noticed a bump in search when we use headlines like 'unbiased medical insights into x, y and z' or really play up the qualifications.  'Our orthodontists discuss the best braces treatments' is so much better than just 'buy this and that' Thanks for your help with this. I'm on the right track but will now double down on your suggestions.  Smart people will inherit the SERPS.  Eventually...

  • Mario, hello from Athens The keyword planner tool has some peculiar functionality when it comes to Greek as you describe. Do not get fooled though - even though the tool has some issues, the google search engine itself has no problem knowing that toned and non toned greek characters are the same that that an σ and an ς are the same character (used in different cases). So to answer your question - go with properly spelled and toned words and if you prefer lowercase then that is fine, you will not be losing out on potential traffic because of which 's' is used on the end of the words, but in the kw planner tool you will want to try all potential combinations of tones and sigmas to make sure you have the best idea of traffic patterns. Hope it helps!

  • Hi Shahjahaaan I am pretty sure I just answered your question on Facebook! If not I apologise but it looks the same If you have 5 countries to target it is very ambitious without having a good SEO holding your hand. But my advice is: 1. Use a single brand name .com for all sites, so for example website.com 2. Each country has a country-specific folder: website.com/en website.com/us wesbite/com/ca 3. Use an hreflang tag on every page pointing to the page itself and the other country versions of the page. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en Google will now not see each of the sites as duplicate even if you post the same content. 4. Folders can be defined to separate categories. website.com/en/accounting website.com/en/london website.com/en/facebook If a job exists in two categories it isn't a problem. - If of course the whole category is duplicated and all jobs the same then you either should not have the separation or you could canonicalise if you really wanted to keep both. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=e The fact that the jobs change every day is unimportant as long as the categories are well defined. I hope this helps Regards Nigel

  • Hey Casey, Thanks for the guide. Agree with that. Yes, I feel those are impacting ranking. But there is no penalty yet from Google.

  • If the search engines were taken out of the equation, would you still be interested in the link?

  • I recommend this page where you can find a lot of templates for woocomerce. They are pretty good and have good seo structure and logically are paid: https://themeforest.net/popular_item/by_category?category=wordpress%2Fecommerce%2Fwoocommerce I don't know exactly what you want it for: service, product, online business, offline, etc. If it exceeds exactly the web you want to create, it could be more specific.

  • Hi Tom, I'm not too sure what the developers have done but the issue is that the UK website doesn't appear to be getting indexed in Google.co.uk but their US website is.  When you visit the site you are prompted to select which country site you would like to visit and I'm not sure if this is causing the issue.  I've also used the fetch as Google tool in search console and it's returning a re-direct message from https://www.pacapod.com/ to https://us.pacapod.com/. Thanks Eddie

  • Paul, Thank you! Yes, I realized I could use the Moz bar to highlight the links that were followed and no followed and came to the same conclusion. Thanks for your insight! Dana

  • Update from the Moz Support Team: Please read our update timeframes guide for avoiding delay. Hey there, Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Moz Local is a real-time service that instantly distributes your business listing data to both data aggregators and online directories. Each of our distribution partners has their own approach for processing new and updated listings on their platform. As part of our active listing management process, we continuously verify the accuracy of each listing down to the Name, Address, Phone Number and URL across our entire partner network. We don't consider your listing to be completely accurate until a customer would find it that way. For most partners, new data is published within 4-5 days, and the majority becomes fully accurate within a few weeks. Given how closely we track accuracy, we have seen instances where some listings have taken as much as 8-12 weeks to become fully accurate. If you're noticing an unusual delay, please let us know at help@moz.com so we can take a look at your account and see if there is anything causing the delay. If you claim a listing on a third-party site that isn't one of our direct partners, it's up to their system to determine how long it will take for your business information to become accurate there. You'll need to work with that third-party site directly. Moz Local should sync that info for you automatically, as long as it's one of our partners! Here is a full list of the partners that are currently supported for US business listings: Infogroup Acxiom Neustar/Localeze Factual Foursquare Superpages (1st Tier) Best of the Web (2nd Tier) Citysearch CityGrid Insiderpages Hotfrog Bing Apple HERE TomTom NavMii We focus on top-tier data aggregators with the idea that your data will naturally trickle down throughout the local search ecosystem. And you can see the big picture of the Local Ecosystem here: https://moz.com/learn/local/local-search-data-us If there's anything else you need, just let us know — feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com.

  • Glad to help. A seemingly weak competitor could hold out good hope for your client to be able to surpass them once you've identified every possible metric that could be contributing to Google choosing them over your client. Good luck with the audit, and if you're successful, it would be really great if you could follow up here and share with our community what you did

  • Yeah there are many, But it's highly recommended not to use them if you care about quality links and ranking.
