Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Feilim, Moz Pro campaigns are designed to hold the SEO reporting for your whole website. Some people set up campaigns to track their root domain, subdomain or sudfolder depending on their site set up. I can recommend our getting started guide for a walkthrough on how to set up your campaign. Add your keywords when you create your campaign, or through the "Add & Manage Keywords" tab, nested under the "Rankings" tab to track your, and your competitor's, performance over time. Click the keyword to see your rankings over time, which looks like this. You can also get pointers on how to improve your on-page SEO, just click on the little grey optimize button on the right hand column of your keyword rankings to run a page optimization report. I hope this helps, if you're still stuck please write in to us at help@moz.com. Cheers! Jo

Hi msphoto! Did Craig's response help? We'd love an update.

Also some websites may have blocked Moz crawler, with the meta So all their links won't show in OpenSiteExplorer

I believe it took them a few years. They still had not recovered all their organic traffic when I worked on them but we did see a sharp increase in conversion rate. Revenue actually improved I think Moz has a case study out from when they changed from Seomoz to just Moz. I would just make sure the client understands improving organic traffic after the rebrand will be a steady process. You could look at supplementing organic with a PPC campaign or venture into social media advertising and blogging until you see improvements. Hope that helps some.

You said this: "Would disavow even be of any use though? I though that a disavow file had to be for the specific domain, so adding a disavow to all those links wouldn't do anything" When you disavow at the domain level, you also cover ALL the subdomains on that domain as well (even if they are deleted). So the best practice in this case, even if the domain isn't there anymore would be to just disavow those links. John Mueller clarified this in a Google+ thread back in 2014.

Hi David! Interesting topic! I'd like to show you something here on Moz that might help hash this out bit more. This our our recommended companies list: https://moz.com/rand/recommended-list-seo-consultants/ This section of our site (which resides on the main domain, not a subdomain) helps people find various types of marketers they need for different services. I don't believe it has earned a ton of links; it's just a pretty straightforward resource for the marketing community that many companies feel proud to be included on. So, that's one approach - if you feel your customers would benefit from knowing of other digital service providers you trust in your city, then build the resource on your own website for the sake of usefulness, and maybe you'll earn a few links to it. Better, maybe some networking opportunities would arise for you for real-world work with related agencies in your city. The alternative I see would be to start a completely separate business - a directory - on its own domain. Depending on the size of your city and the number of companies offering these types of services in that city, management could be a minor effort or become a full time job. I've never build a directory, but I did curate one back in the good 'ol days once and it was a big hassle, so my view of this is a bit biased, based on that experience. That was back when you could plonk a bunch of Adsense on something like a directory and earn a bit of money. The challenge today would be how your business would directly benefit from undertaking this second path of running a free-standing directory. I'm no authority when it comes to directories. Yes, many have been devalued over the years, but local ones can still be useful in markets that aren't too saturated. The question mark for me in this scenario would be whether you would see some form of ROI for the effort. Hope these thoughts are helpful!

Good luck!

Hi David, Thank you for the quick response. Yes, that helps me out and makes sense.

Ok we have tried everything.  Removed Admin author on blogs, removed word "Buy" from title tags.  Nothing seems to work.  Still offering the bounty for anyone who can solve this problem for us.

OK, thanks for letting me know!

Amazing thanks

Hey Steve, I think what you might be looking for would be a heatmap study like this one: https://moz.com/blog/the-new-snack-pack-where-users-clicking-how-you-can-win You might be able to find others. Hope that helps!

The idea, and I've read elsewhere that Google reads it, is to pass the img alt as the H2 text. Since we don't have a lot of text on the top of our page the only other option is to have the H2 tags at the bottom of the page where we offer some insightful text about the page.

Thank you. It appears to have corrected itself. Has anyone ever seen that happen before? That was strange.  We didn't change anything that I know of. I set their targeted location to the US as that had not been done.  That's about it. Thanks for taking the time to look.

Hey There! Good suggestions from the community about studying the Beginner's Guide so that you can be more specific in your query here, which should ensure much better community feedback. Also, I see you've categorized this as a local strategy question. May I recommend that you go through our Local SEO Checklist, for advice specific to Local?  See: https://moz.com/blog/local-seo-checklist Hope this helps!

Hi, I had a look at your site and there are a few things I would recommend: First of all you said you wanted to rank for keyword such as kitchen, new kitchen and kitchen renovation. I don’t see any specific landingpages for these keywords. So I would make a clear SEO optimized landingpage for these keywords with a clear Call To Action button. Also you should use one h1 tag for your most important keywords. On the current site for some reason the logo is inside a h1 tag. In the source code I see only inline CSS. You should combine this in one CSS file to improve website speed. In the future you could also see to implement microdata for reviews. This way you can display review stars in the search results. For me it was not clear what your conversion is at your site. It isn’t an ecommerce site where you sell products online. You want to let the users contact you about a new kitchen. Currently you let these users land on the general contact form. I would recommend to make a specific form just for this conversion.

Thanks so much guys. Please keep more responses coming Cheers, -Andy
