Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The question that isn't being asked here is if rebranding to establish a brand is the better play.  As you are finding out, when you register domains and build out sites determined by your offering/product your site is a bit limited.   So why not reconsider the rebrand with a new domain that doesn't put you in this situation again.  Then you'll of course want to migrate the appropriate content add the 301 redirects etc. Good Luck

Hey Danny, sounds like you have a big migration project ahead of you! As others have said, you're going to have to do mass 301 redirects to the site you want everything to live on moving forward. You should also engage with an international SEO consultant to help you out with this, because you're likely going to need country-specific subfolders and use HREFLANG to send the search crawlers for the right languages to the right pages and rank them accordingly. Happy to recommend some if you'd like.

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here with some answers for ya. 1. Unfortunately, Moz Pro doesn't integrate with Google's Search Console. Sorry about that!  2. Since we don't track things like impressions on ads, we can't build those metrics in to Custom Reports in Moz Pro, I'm afraid.  3. I'm not sure that I know of a way to aggregate organic average time/session duration and bounce rates within Moz Pro. That may be something that would need to be done directly in Search Console or Google Analytics.  4. It's not uncommon to see fairly large discrepancies between inbound links in Google's index and in our Mozscape index. Our index is big and growing all the time, but it's nowhere near as extensive as Google's massive, multi-million dollar index is. Our index is aiming to show the highest quality links coming from the most authoritative sites, but that might mean that we miss some of the links coming to your site.  5. I'm not sure that there's anywhere in our tools that would show you indexed page volumes. Were you just hoping to see the number of pages we've indexed? I'm not sure that that number is available anywhere, unfortunately. I hope this helped! If you still have questions, feel free to write in to us at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to answer them all!

Thank you Martijn!

Thanks Dan.  I've been saying from the start the we should be on .org rather than .com...

Hi John, Thank-you for your insight.  Question, what tools did you use to do the quick check on our site?  Was it the screaming from app or something else?  Just want to learn how you did that. I've went ahead and fixed the chained 301 redirect and fixed a number of the 301 redirects that were formerly not working as I initially thought they were. What tools would you recommend to me for creating the static xml sitemap and do I need to do this for all the old pages on the site or just the ones with more traffic? Also, once the static xml sitemap is created do I submit it on the new domain or the old domain?  Probably a beginner type question here but just wanted to make sure Finally, the change of address via google webmaster console happened for these domains:  http://www.citychurchfamily.org/ and this:  https://www.citychurchfamily.org/ Should I do the change of address for both the non-www versions as well? Your help/insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Thomas! So canonicals should be self-referencing, if I'm reading that image correctly.

If you add Content to your site and  send the changed signaled to google it would be more likely to index your website and hopefully updat that URL. However I think is the first URL is The best bet.

Hey Rahul! Definitely a big question here, but let me give it a stab. I've looked at the provided site in both OpenSiteExplorer and SEMrush. Here's what I see with a quick cursory look: Your site seems to have done well in late 2011/early 2012, but it has since been hit with what looks to be a combination of Penguin and Panda algorithm updates. So they're seeing your site as relatively low value. You have very few links pointing to your site, and they look to be pretty low quality as well. In the space you're trying to operate in, you're going to need many more high quality links pointing to your site to be able to rank well for the terms that will drive you revenue and traffic. You've done very little in the last few years (probably because traffic was taking a hit so hard) so you're not really giving yourself the chance to earn new links and get traffic in other ways (social, referral, etc) which can be a good way to build traffic sustainably and longterm as well, which also helps guard you against algorithm updates like the ones you experienced. I ran a quick crawl with ScreamingFrog and didn't see any glaring issues (no robots.txt issue, not many non-2** status code pages). Some of your content is 4+ clicks from the homepage, which is something you should look at with your site architecture and will be exacerbated as you start to create more content on your site. So if I were you, I'd figure out your content strategy (and with that your keyword research strategy to identify your keywords) and with that your link acquisition and promotion strategy. There is a lot of content on Moz and other places on how to do all of this! Hope that's helpful. John

Rand covered this in a WBF from a few years ago: The only way to get true volume data is to run an adwords campaign and see for yourself. https://moz.com/blog/estimate-total-volume-value-of-keywords-in-niche-whiteboard-friday Good Luck, Matt

Hi Matthew, Searching from California for the term 'roofing tyler tx' I am seeing Estes coming up in the #6 spot in the local finder view (which you reach by clicking on the 'more places' link at the bottom of the 3-pack. This should be helpful to know, because the client is actually making onto Google's radar, but it's not making it into the top 3 for a search like mine. Curious - when you search that same term and click into the local finder, are you really not seeing the company at all in the local finder results?

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Yes, that was the issue, thanks!!!!

Hi Rob, I would recommend using htaccess 301 redirects. If you're not currently using htaccess you just need to create a file in your website's root folder and name it .htaccess and jsut add a 301 redirect line for each redirect that you want to do. See below for example. Redirect 301 /bootcampuk.php /bootcamps.jsp So it's Redirect 301 Old-Url New-Url Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Travels, Alan! Google permits the development of what are called 'multi-practitioner listings'. In other words, a real estate firm with 2 partners is eligible for 3 listings (one of the business and one for each of the practitioners). My advice: If you go with this approach, you would also build out a set of citations for each practitioner as well as those you build for the business. By citations, I mean other listings on platforms beyond Google My Business (Facebook, Yelp, Superpages, Localeze, Infogroup, etc.). You would typically link the business' listings to the homepage, and the practitioners' citations to their respective landing pages on the website, though you'd only want to do the latter once you have built an extremely good landing page for each of the two partners. Finally, wherever possible, choose different GMB categories for the two practitioners to try to skirt around Possum as best you can, so that your practitioners can avoid the heaviest effects of that filter. Alternatively, you can decide not to build multi-practitioner listings and can simply build out the GMB listing for the brand and skip building citations for the partners. This is simpler, does not get tangled up in Possum (unless there are other real estate firms in your building). If you go this way, I would still recommend building content on the website representing the two partners, for the sake of users. Does this make this a bit clearer?

Hi, How long ago did you publish the page? What you refer is "on page" elements: h1, title and URL are one part of the job. Sure, if you got the exact keyword match, you got more chances to get to the top SERP. However, you're missing the second part of the job: links. You're page is new so you may not have any link. Here's a process you can use: Link the pages already well indexed you're referring to the new page. Use the MozBar to analyse the 2 first results, and check for the links of those pages. Do they have more than you? Scan those pages using https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/, and try to get their links. Scan also the top10 results on this keywords and go get some links Best.
