Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Laurie It should be clarified that Moz's Domain Authority, while a really solid metric, is not the metric Google has or uses. And domain authority can have a few artificial quirks. So I would not be alarmed at all. That said - can you explain where you are seeing the two different number? I see a Page Authority of 39 for both http and https - and I see a domain authority of 27 for both http and https. Now, even IF Moz has two different numbers for http and https, again, this is not what Google is doing, it's just an approximation. Setting a canonical from https to http is just a band-aid and I would not recommend that approach. I would recommend having a site-wide 301 redirect so if a user lands on the https version of a URL it redirects them to the same version of that page on http. Or vice vera, whichever version you are prioritizing. I have to respectfully disagree with Dmytro and Robert - as mentioned, Moz's metrics are not Google metrics - and the best action here is always to prioritize http or https with redirects.

Unfortunately, our site was never set up right after our rebrand to moz.com so I can't see the data and it's not something I've used before so I cannot give a recommendation on value of data. Just because we're not using it doesn't mean it wouldn't be or couldn't be of value.

Thank you VERY much for your response... This is extremely helpful. I will apply this ideology and hopefully we will see some results.

The page is indexed in Google just fine, if you use a site:https://www.globecar.com/en/montreal-truck-rentals query it is there. Most likely, though, there is an issue with duplicate content. The is not a lot of text on that page, and that may be very close to other pages on the site. I would check siteliner.com to see if the page has duplicate content similar to other pages on the site.

Hey There, Happy to help answer your questions regarding our API. Our Free API Access will not lead to any charges unless you reach out to us and ask for additional rows to be added to your account. So there should be zero surprise charges from the API product. What happens when I get near my usage limit? - Usage can be monitored here - https://moz.com/products/mozscape/usage What happens when I just hit the limit? Once you pull 25k rows for the month, your account will be suspended until the following month.  **What happens when I past the limit? **Unless you reach out and ask for additional rows, your account will be suspended until the following month, where you will get another 25k rows to use. Let me know if you have any other questions about the API. Ian W.

Sounds really spammy, in my opinion a single link on the prestigious national organisation may serve them better

Hi Martijn, thank you very much. Now I am absolutely confident to build my own silo As far as I understood it is only ok to link to the main landing page of other silos ... not to the silo subpages. And you should not overdo it... for whatever that means... Thank you very much.

Hey Hans, Thanks so much for the great suggestion! I've forwarded this over to our product team, so hopefully we will see this in a future version of the feature. Please let us know if you have any other suggestions or questions about this feature.

I agree with Eric, and I also think this may be a good use for UTM tracking URLs. You could easily set them up using, say, the video titles as your utm_content. You could then shorten the URLs with the UTM parameters. Google has a great URL builder tool here.

Quite a few plugins do the same thing you are talking about. Yoast SEO is a big name when it comes to everything SEO related but there are others as well. My idea is to read the comments and reviews about the plugin before you actually install it on your website. If the reviews and star ratings are bad, probably its not worth it. Just a thought!

So glad to hear you're making progress, Mark!

Hey There, There may be some problems with cross posting Google reviews on your own website, but it's a matter of discussion. Good thoughts on this here: http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/2013/04/04/the-complete-guide-to-google-pluslocal-reviews-and-especially-how-to-get-them/ When Google+ was a viable option for local businesses, there was a technique you could use to embed posts featuring Google reviews within your website without fear of duplicate content filters, but given that Google+ has now gone the way of the dodo bird, I'm not sure what has happened to website that were doing this.

Hi there! The Crawl Test tool is limited to 3000 URLs, but your actual campaign(s) crawl far more than that. With a Moz Pro Standard subscription, up to 250,000 pages (total, across your up-to-five campaigns) are automatically crawled weekly.

You could add some more yard/garden-related stuff, especially if you can feature sculptures or metal art similar to what your client is selling, (bonus points if a product she sells is actually used in a garden). If you start now-ish, it's even seasonal!

Nice discussion going on here. To be honest, I am still unaware of any tool that does a very good job with local-specific kw info. I have never really trusted Google's numbers on this, so my rule of thumb remains to do keyword research without geomodifiers and then simply add the geomodifiers into your kw list for optimization purposes. The one proviso here is when you are dealing with a product/service that is called totally different things in different regions (pop vs. soda vs. cola). There are many, many examples of this and it is going to require regional research (interview the business owner and staff to define local terminology) to get the terms right.

Hi Matthew! Good question! Best advice: build just one website and one set of citations for this business. What you are describing sounds to me (and would likely sound to Google) like a single business in a single physical location that has purchased other businesses in order to expand its menu of services. Unless the business genuinely has unique forward-facing departments (like a hospital campus with one dept. for X-ray and another for ER) then the client would be taking a needless risk trying to promote the business as though it were 5, 6 different companies all in that same building. Remember that Google reads street-level imaging. Should they take a look at the building's signage and see Big Guy Marketing on the sign, but see that the owner is also listing Little Guy Printing, Medium Guy Car Wraps and Funny Guy Graphics in his Google My Business dashboard all in that same building, Google would rightly have cause to be suspicious that they are being spammed, by a single marketing company trying to look like multiple businesses. The good news here is that the owner is already wishing to consolidate. He should do so, and then you and he can both focus on building out one really awesome brand with a powerful, diverse menu of services (but just one set of citations)! Hope this helps!
