Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I suggest google, learn from the best.  The certification brings you into a loop, which is great to keep you continually updated. Main thing is to be able to apply it practically on a live account at the same time. https://support.google.com/partners/answer/3154326?hl=en

These links are coming from when a business advertises with Yellowpages.com. I have seen evidence that they are destroying one of my clients NAP's because each link is coming from a different city that the local business doesn't belong to them. Have your client Stop advertising with them immediately and disavow all links just to be safe.

I think you can try with Tumblr or Weebly. I used two types. It is quite easy and beautiful. In case, you want to use WordPress, I suggest you to migrate from BigCommerce to WooCommerce. It is a WordPress's plugin. Experts say that WooCommerce is simple, easy to control but beautiful. It is suitable for small and medium business with low budget and less technical knowledge.

If the call is ringing 10-12 times before the call forwarding provider connects with your phone, I would drop that provider. A good company will have a seamless transition so no one would ever know the difference when they call you. Who are you currently running tracking numbers through? Sounds like either you've set up too many redirects in the call system or the provider has some serious support issues.

Hi MobileDay! Did these answers help?

Do not worry about your keyword ratio just worry about creating high-quality content with somebody that has much better grammar and writing abilities and I. (I use Grammarly or dictate to a coworker when posting on  a client's site.) https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/test-development-changes/ https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/tag/website-architecture/ here are no fewer than five ways to test changes before they even go live and have any impact on performance: Test site vs Live site: crawl a staging site and compare it to the live one Test robots.txt changes Test a new XML Sitemap Crawl the site with modified URLs Test the impact of removing parameters now if you are rebuilding use HTTPS it is not a powerful ranking symbol now however it is very smart to pull off to Band-Aids at once https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/the-zen-guide-to-https-configuration/ https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/news/https-when-to-act/ if you add HTTPS via HTTP/2 or cloudflare do not set HSTS for more than a couple days when setting up the site. https://moz.com/blog/http2-a-fast-secure-bedrock-for-the-future-of-seo USE https://blog.cloudflare.com/enforce-web-policy-with-hypertext-strict-transport-security-hsts/ HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which could also help with speed issues on HTTPS.

Hi Nico Thank you for the update and I feel better in knowing this

Just as an update to where we was with this I have seen this article this morning where many others are seeing significant activity around the 20th 21st but still doesn't appear to be clear what is causing this. Still it is an interesting read and update. http://searchengineland.com/google-update-their-ranking-algorithms-some-webmasters-believe-so-234185 Hope it helps

Same here - score on Page Speed insights is pretty low as well - and also a timeout on webpagestest.org Dirk

Thanks so much!

Thanks Thomas, yes i guess this may well be the reason.  We had the new URL live for a period of 3-4 months before we made the 301 of the old site so the score of 9 may be from the new site being scored before the actual change is my assumptions... I've checked other software to now like Majestic and Ahrefs and scores in these are similar to pre domain change.

That presentation is from 2006.  Is it still relevant?

We work for health insurance entities and for one target the keyword health insurance. It is not dissimilar to targeting any keyword, except more expensive and competitive. The quality of work must be first rate. The key to success on terms like health  - is fight the battles you can win. ie if new to the market, new url etc. there is no chance of ranking in the top 4-5 for the primary keyword, for an extended period.  However you maybe able to rank in the top 5 for the keywords "best health insurance". Generate cash flow & re-invest. My suggestion is not to give up equity in the business to a stranger - simply fraught with danger. Also you are giving up your IP.  You may get lucky odds are it will be a disaster. Firstly roll up your sleeves. Then do a site audit. Moz does a partial for you.    https://moz.com/blog/technical-site-audit-for-2015 Then once your site is audited and clear, start working on the customer experience - website and go door to door if you have to.  If it a good product and customers love it you are on the right track. You need to access feedback honestly. My view is the way to succeed is to ensure your customer thinks you are the best in market at whatever you do.  That special service you gave the customer means they will start to promote it. Links will flow from good content, so concurrently work on informative content. The reality is it is just plain old fashioned hard work. Remember if you do it yourself whenever a website issue arises you can ask the community a specific question - you will get plenty of help. Hope that assists.

Hey, Thanks for the help Let's say a firm going on to my website where the firm needs to set up a profile. We want informative information to appear when I search for the firm's profile. I'm proposing using the data used to generate the profile to generate a meta-description that will appear when searched. I'm relatively new to this so I'm not sure if this is normal or advisable, do you have any thoughts?

It's depends upon your SEO strategy. Search engines give much weight to the H1 Tag. I vote for your second option : Site Name + Some Important Keyword.

Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to contribute. If Google doesn't crawl and index, can you guys explain this? https://www.google.com.au/search?espv=2&q=site%3Awww.mypetwarehouse.com.au+inurl%3Agclid&oq=site%3A&gs_l=serp.3.0.35i39l2j0i67l4j0i10j0i67j0j0i131.58677.61871.0.63823.11.8.3.0.0.0.208.930.0j3j2.5.0....0...1c.1.64.serp..8.3.419.nUJod6dYZmI I have found the solution elsewhere. The canonical tag is auto-generated, so it is creating it's own canonical tag for the pages. So we need to create a rule in the back end that exlcudes parameters after the end of our URL's

Great idea, thanks.
