Completely redesigned webmaster - set up new site in Google Webmaster Tools, or keep existing??
Hey! You can add a new one but it wouldn't make any sense as the data is still the same for the old site so you can just keep on going with this one and update a lot of stuff in there so your new site will validate better. Martijn.

Hi, That's a great help, thanks a mill! Leaving them in place as a fall back makes sense.

Duplicate title while setting canonical tag.
Using the disallow directive in the robots.txt file is probably the better bet as far as making sure that our tools don't crawl those pages and report duplicate page titles. I think the disallow directive is the way to go! That said, I'm not an SEO expert, so it might be worth checking in with a web developer to see if they have different suggestions.

Phone number formatting - Periods vs Dashes
Hi there, There's no standard format for online phone numbers although I've seen people recommending to stick with either dashes or periods, and to not use parenthesis. The more important recommendation would be to make sure users can click to call directly on the phone number, as well as setting up tracking through analytics so you could see how many people called your business through your website. Hope that helps! Serge

What are some good examples of content marketing done well for clothing online retailers?
That said, it's definitely neat that that allows their images to have the appearance of containing text, but that the text is actually crawlable. Maybe that would be beneficial for SEO!

My website is currently failing Google's mobile friendly test. What are my options?
On that point, I'd say it depends on how you and your developers prefer to work together. Definitely make sure they're familiar with mobile guidelines, at least.

Anyone experiencing problems with the links to guides on Moz' pages?
A-ha, the On-Page Grader should (still) be updated to the Page Optimization Tool (since March at least). Found this: https://moz.com/community/q/why-do-i-get-different-results-with-on-page-grader-and-page-optimization-tool-what-is-the-difference-between-these-two-tools

Are there detrimental effects of having multiple robot tags
Like Dmitri mentioned, it shouldn't really matter it's redundancy. In the last case it could sometimes be useful for bigger sites to make statement or tags specific to certain engines to keep their behaviours from being different.

Facebook's Address Change Request
Hi there. Yes, having the same NAP info is quite important, so, I wouldn't remove suite number, especially since it's your actual proper address. Maybe there is some type of guide from Facebook (I couldn't find it) on formatting of the address. But, to me it's like this - if it makes sense to user, it will make sense to search engines (google specifically). Hope this helps.
