Welcome to the Q&A Forum

So obvious. Thank you, Dirk

Hi Radi, I would get rid of all punctuation except for "-" as it is seen as a space. If you use othe punctuations they are ignored. When added in a query the results are without the punctuation. Same goes for Bing. More info: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?rd=1#exceptions_punctuations Makes it easier for you I hope Grt Tymen

Hopefully that helps you some I know we ran into a similar situation for a client. Good luck!

Great, thanks for clearing this up. Have a great day..

I would say the most important is that you only have 1 link and I always say it like this: you need to be listed where you need to be listed. Local sites, wedding sites, where are your competitors? search their URL in Google or using a tool like Moz and find their links. See what you can easily mimic and expand from there. Content & blogging will come and need to be done - but the "in between times" are great for link building. (Or, hire a wedding/photography link builder and do the blogging/content yourself.)

Hi Jon, The information showing up in the rich snippet has been taken from the very well-structured table that appears on the right-hand side of many Wikipedia pages. This data is very easy for Googlebot to read (because it's in a table), and regarded as trustworthy (because it's on Wikipedia). Depending on how Google interprets your intent, it may or may not borrow from this well-structured data in the rich snippet. For example, on the Wikipedia page for Optical Express, there is again a table that lists key data about the company: the year it was founded, who the founder was, and which products it sells, among other things. When I search for "optical express contact lenses", the Wikipedia entry doesn't have a rich snippet, even though contact lenses are listed in the product field in the table. If I search for a less commercially-minded term, like "optical express founder", I do get a rich snippet with information about the company and founder (see the two images I've attached here). So the point really is that there are no guarantees, and no direct control over the rich snippet, but you and your clients should definitely expect to see a lot more of this kind of thing in future, whenever Google is confident that a rich snippet provides a good answer. As for what you can do: your client won't have Wikipedia's authority, but you can use structured data, such as JSON-LD or Microformats, to make the meaning of your words more transparent to Google. This will increase the chance, at least, of meaningful rich snippets with information about your client's company or products. Tymen has linked to a couple of useful resources, which you should use to ensure that you're implementing the structured data correctly. 46K6eW5 FcNv710

The page is actually a Registration form that is flagged for not having a Meta Description. So if I give the page a meta description will all of my registration form pages with query string parameters be removed from the report? Or are notices still flagged as "Medium Priority"?

Thanks so much for the insight guys! This is super helpful, and definitely gives me a solid strategy going forward.

Hi Brandon! Sorry about any confusion around this. The reason you're seeing different scoring metrics is that we recently updated the Page Optimization section within your campaign. We realized the A-F grading system, while understandable in certain countries, is not used world-wide. It was causing confusion so we changed it to a 1-100 scoring system. We also adjusted some of the weighting of the optimization factors and added new explanations for the on-page issues. The Page Grader tool has not yet seen some of these updates, so you'll still see the old scoring system there, and because of the differences in weighting for the factors you might see slightly different scores. We plan to get the Page Grader up to par in the future! I hope that clarifies things!

I have had similar issues with a client.  Take a look at all the information on this thread https://moz.com/community/q/hreflang-for-multple-countries-but-single-language  It might help you to start untangling your particular issue.

Hi there, thanks for your question! Did any of these responses help you resolve your issue? We would love an update. Christy

Well that's new. I just checked a fetch I did in GWT a few days ago and that wasn't there. The canonical is wrong too. I'll have to get my developer to fix that. Thank you Laura for pointing that out.

Hi Jeeyaul, As long as the links pointing at the 2nd and 3rd level pages (and the site in general) are good quality, then I wouldn't worry about this too much. I certainly don't think it's bad for rankings and is actually more likely to help those 2nd and 3rd level pages rank better. If, on the other hand, these links aren't great quality or could be seen as manipulative by Google, then that could be bad for rankings. You could take a look at this blog post that I wrote late last year which talks about what makes a good and bad link: https://moz.com/blog/the-anatomy-of-a-link I hope that helps! Paddy

Thanks for everyone's comments, this is helpful! Does anyone have any advice on how to better boost category pages? We are looking at user guides, and more content - but this won't all be directly on the category page. Ill have a bit of content on then category page, but this alone isn't going to have a huge impact. Becky

I will send details to help@moz.com Thank you.

No, I would always include the reviews on the same page. Keyword stuffing is one of the most overrated SEO issues + the intention there is way different if you would do it just for stuffing the page. In this case it's user generated content.
