Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Respected Sir, Thanks a lot reply back to us, i have submitted robots.txt but still not get any solution.. Index page cached but another pages of this site not being cache, i just follow and try to cache throw google search console but problem not resolve...

At the moment, to my knowledge, Search Console does not necessarily show any local data. However, like you mentioned, Google My Business has added some awesome data and insights over the past year. My agency has been loving the recent updates that show how many times your listing has appeared, how many users have asked for directions, how many users have called, and more!

Hey Paul - Xenu took a couple of tries as it found so many links it crashed at first, but when I told it to ignore external links, it was able to spit out not only all the broken images but also broken and redirected links, which I'd also like to fix. Thanks for the great solution!

I agree with Charles-Oliver, I would definitely document where these pages currently rank, and then assess after making your changes. As long as you're not removing the keyword / key phrase you're ranking for from the title, or dramatically changing the intent, you probably don't have anything to worry about!

In an ideal world, you would have unique content everywhere - category, subcategory, product detail page, etc. Of course, that requires a lot of effort to maintain. So I think the answer really depends on your goals and your stats. I would personally check my analytics to find patterns. First, I'd determine what level most organic traffic ends up landing on. Do they all land on your homepage? Do most of them end up on product detail pages because your long tail is better optimized? Are there higher level categories that seem to do the best? This will give you an idea of what is currently working for you as far as SEO, so you can begin to answer questions like, does the long form content in the footer help drive organic traffic at all for your particular website? Next, I would check analytics to find out: only for organic traffic, what content levels did people see before they bought a product? I would assume that in most cases they need to hit the individual product detail page to add to cart, since they must select a size etc. - but depending on your site, maybe lots of people do a Quick View and add to cart from a modal, etc. Find out what your organic visitors are looking at to figure out which level - category, subcategory, sub-sub-category, product detail, etc. - the largest portion of organic visitors who actually bought something visited. Finally, I would check analytics to find out only for non-organic traffic, what content levels did people see before they bought a product? Perhaps you're running some successful marketing campaigns, and these folks land straight on a particular sweet spot that organic folks aren't finding, and because the marketed-to visitors see exactly the information they need, they're buying more. This will also be helpful in determining what levels of pages to optimize. Once you've determined what levels are converting best, set those as your priorities for unique content and driving traffic. Unfortunately, e-commerce is a tough market to be in as far as SEO and content. There are so many distributors out there that to really compete organically you need an edge. The good news is, if you're doing the work to differentiate yourself enough to earn better organic rankings and gain visitors, you should also reap the benefits of the visitors themselves having a better user experience and becoming more likely to actually convert.

It's my understanding that simply having them in the same body copy, and perhaps in some headings as well, will suffice.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here! Unfortunately, there's no way to go back and view the previous week's Site Crawl data. If you need to see each week's data after the fact, it would be a good idea to set up a Custom Report with Site Crawl modules and set it up to run weekly. That way you'll get a report each week sent to you that includes your Site Crawl data, and you'll be able to keep those reports as a historical record of previous week's data. I hope that helps! If you've still got any questions, feel free to shoot us a note at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to help you out.

Hi Andrew, Yes DA scores change a lot over time. I have noticed more changes this month than usual though. I was a little concerned when my scores went down one (1) on average, but it looks very widespread. Moz may have made some changes to their scoring model or something. We like most people have been working hard to get our scores to go up. Best Regards

Hi Aquib, Great question, with a somewhat complex answer. If your business is local, then, yes, you want to create a unique, researched and optimized page for each of your services. Write fully about each service, including its value proposition, pricing, photos, videos, reviews, etc. And, if you've got a multi-location local business, you also want to create a unique, research and optimized page for each of your physical locations. These types of pages are table stakes for nearly all local businesses. But, once you've got these basic pages published, our thinking has to shift a bit. It's not that more pages = good for SEO. In the past, much of SEO hinged on the idea that you wanted to create a unique page for each core keyword phrase that research indicated would be a top performer for you. Sometimes this led to some kind of foolish structures, like a website having a page optimized for "car repairs" and another page for "auto repairs", and sites would end up with huge numbers of rather weak pages as a result. Now, post-Hummingbird and in a RankBrain environment, we have to think differently, because these have signaled to us that Google is now capable of understanding the shared intent behind similar phrases. Google knows that searches for "auto repairs" and "car repairs" have the same intent, and optimized content development has shifted to think of keywords in terms of topics instead of as standalone phrases. What smart businesses are doing is identifying the most important topics to their companies and their consumers, and then mapping all of the keywords that fit within that topic to a really strong, thorough page that covers the topic. So, let's say you own an auto garage, and one of the things you offer is repair of the new Tesla cars. You plug "tesla auto repairs" into a keyword research tool like Moz Keyword Explorer, Answer the Public, or the Google Adwords KW tool and you see a whole bunch of keyword phrases that relate to this topic, like "tesla auto repair cost", "tesla engine replacement cost", "tesla repair center", "tesla body work", etc. In the past, you might have created a unique page for each of these terms, but modern SEO would typically advocate combining all of these related phrases into a single authoritative article that covers everything a consumer could possibly want to know about getting their Tesla worked on in your shop. The goal of this page is to establish your authority and guide the user toward a conversion. We believe that Google is now identifying domain names with authority on specific topics, so if this were your business, you'd want to establish authority on this topic with a best-in-geo/industry page on this topic. To dive deeper into Hummingbird and RankBrain, definitely look at the two links, above. If your competitors are stuck in the old ways of creating large numbers of weak pages, your understanding of how Google is evolving could be a competitive difference maker for your brand. Hope this helps!

No problem! If you scroll over to say the 8th or so Column you should see a Column titled 'Google en-GB SERP Date' (Or whatever Search Engine you are tracking). Here you will see the data we have collected week by week, month by month. I have attached a screenshot for clarification (from my own Campaign). https://www.screencast.com/t/Lx9tZa1WlGOj Let me know if you have any other questions! Eli

Hey David, I apologize, help me understand. Your problem is that your new website's homepage is not at the root  (newdomain.co.uk) – and redirecting all URLs at the top level will not work because of this?

If the sub domain targets keywords not targeted in the rest of the website then rankings will slip. I would 301 all webpages to relevant pages on your main site. Any important keywords should be monitored. You should crelated pages with content from the sub domain to maintain these keywords. If traffic is non existent just 301 them.

Hi, I was wondering exactly the same thing as above - in MOZ it classes this as a redirect chain. Is this an issue that it picks up that isn't really a problem? we are using: RewriteRule (.) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.MYSITE.co.uk [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule ^(.) https://www.MYSITE.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks Kristina, Just frustrated so wanted an instant answer of course. I will wait to hear from them.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I think I can help explain what you're seeing in the MozBar. I took a look at that page, and it looks like there's more than one title tag in the source code: https://www.screencast.com/t/exH7aqRt0 Best practice would be to have just one title tag in place for each page. As for that Alt Text, I found that in the source code as well: https://www.screencast.com/t/OruvfWwtqJ It might be worth sitting down with your web developer and making sure that just the text you want to appear as Alt Text is in those alt tags in the code. I hope this helps! If you've still got questions about the tools we can help with, feel free to give us a shout over at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort everything out with you.

For your pages, do you focus pages with similar products on one/a few similar keywords? Yes.  As an example, lets say we sell "coffee makers".  We will have a generic coffee maker page that lists many different coffee makers from various manufacturers.   When a shopper clicks on one of the coffee maker models, they go to a page that sells the coffee maker, its accessories and its cleaning products.  All of these are unique content with very little reuse of the accessory language on other pages. Do you add written content directly to these pages or focus on creating good user guides etc then link back to these product pages? We include the most important "user guide" information on the product/accessory page.  This is information that helps select the item.  We don't list the full user guide information, but give the shopper a link to a much more detailed page of user information.  Both of these compete in search and often they appear in positions #1 and #2 in Google search.  The product/accessory page might link to several "user guide pages".   Sometimes we have positions #1, #2 and #3 in Google for searches on the product itself or product information. The above is very costly to produce and it requires an author who really knows the product.  It is only worth doing where there is good money to be made on a single sale and recurring consumable/accessory/parts/etc. sales are possible. This type of presentation is intended to make you the expert in the field, rank #1 and inspire people to pay you full MSRP because they know that you know what you are doing rather than being a buy/resell merchant.

I'm surprised to say... that SSL certificate you have is very poor quality and has a number of pretty significant security issues, in addition to the SHA-1 encryption.] To answer your specific question, there's nothing you or your devs can do about the SHA-1 encryption problem, as that problem exists on one of the certificates in the chain that is owned and controlled by Thawte (the cert issuer or "Certificate Authority"), not your own certificate. It is up to them to fix it. As you can see from the cert security scan, there are a number of other issues with the certificate that are unacceptable. Especially in a paid certificate. [Edited for clarity - some of those warnings are likely server-specific, meaning the server is being allowed to communicate with certificate in less than optimal ways] https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.key.co.uk It's unlikely that the encryption problem is whats giving the "not secure" warning on the site at the moment (although it will become a major issue later in February) so you'll  need to keep looking for resources called over HTTP if you're still getting warnings. When I had a quick look at the home page, I didn't see any more warnings, as it appears you've fixed the image call that Andrew mentioned. You can use Chrome or Firefox Dev Tools to inspect any pages that are not secure to be shown exactly what element is causing the failure. It often comes down to hardcoded images like those in CSS/background images etc, or hardcoded scripts. For example, your Quotations page is calling a script from Microsoft to validate the form, but it's failing as it's called over HTTP. Knowing this, you'd want to check any other pages using such form validation. A thorough Screaming Frog crawl to look for any other wayward HTTP calls can also help dig our the remaining random culprits. Hope that helps? Paul Sidenote: Your certificate authority is Thawte, which is connected with Symantec. Which has done such a bad job of securing their certificates that Chrome and other browsers no longer trust them and are in the near future are going to be officially distrusted and ignored. Symantec has in fact given up their Certificate Authority status and is transferring their business to a new company which does have a trusted infrastructure for issuing certificates. So you're going to need to deal with a new certificate in the not too distant future anyway. Given the poor security of your existing cert, and the upcoming issues, if it were me, I'd be asking for a refund of my current cert, and replacing it with one from a more reliable issuer. I know that can mean a lot of extra work, but as these existing problematic certs go through the distrust process over the next 8 months, sites that haven't dealt with the issue are going to break. It's possible that Thawte will build out a reliable process for migrating. At the very least, you need to have a strong conversation with your issuer about how to insure you are getting the security and long-term reliability you've paid for. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news that is a much bigger issue. You can read up about it more here: https://security.googleblog.com/2017/09/chromes-plan-to-distrust-symantec.html

ok.

Hi Neil, Thanks for your reply. So, the thing is, it's typically much, much harder to rank national pages (you're competing against the nation) than to rank local ones - if the searcher is local and the search is perceived to have a local intent, because these pages are only competing locally. So, another question from me: Are the local pages ranking well for local searchers? As in, your office in Atlanta is telling you they see the Atlanta landing page come up instead of the national page? And your office in Dallas is telling you they see the Dallas page come up instead of the national page? Or, are you saying, you have a searcher in San Francisco (where you have no office) seeing the Dallas page instead of the national page?

It a really low portion of the sitemap though. It's of concern. I work with around 20 sites and the rest are indexed fully. This one used to be indexed
