Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If the canonical tag is on the page, despite the fact the page loads in either version only the one that you have in your canonical tag will be indexed. As far the Moz reports these are not updated minute by minute, to see if the canonical tag has fixed the problem in Moz's reports you'll have to wait till they do their next crawl (once a week). You may also use Google's Webmaster and ask for a re-crawl after you made changes. Hope that helps, Don

Umar, What do you think about the all-in-one-schema.org-rich-snippets Wordpress plugin? Can you share whether you've used it and, if yes, whether you'd recommend it? Thanks!!

Hi Jacob! Dirk is absolutely right—the Duplicate Content notice in Crawl Diagnostics indicates that our crawler is fining those instances of duplicate content on your site. As he suggests, I'd definitely recommend using the CSV to figure out which pages are showing up as duplicates. This video may help.

Thanks Joey! Luckily for me, we're running this at WPEngine and using a CDN so it's going to be very well cached and as quick as possible. I now need to get my head around exactly how I am going to organize everything. Thanks again for all the advice!

No google cannot pick up your voice (or not that we know about!).  Here is a great link to have a look at. https://moz.com/blog/building-a-video-seo-strategy I think the answer you looking for though is transcription of your video. If you look at each WBF - Moz transcribe the video and it is beneath the video. google will crawl the written content and that facilitates best seo practices. iframes are nasty for google to crawl so video is a tough one. This is still one of my favourite WBF's and it deals with video.  Have a look, I am sure it will set you on the right path. https://moz.com/blog/panda-optimization-whiteboard-friday Hope that assists.

Hi Chad, Glad that helped. Regarding time frames, we are unable to provide an accurate estimate on these, as it's a combo of when you added categories + when Google process that and pushes it out so we can see it + when our system updates. Wish I could offer a good estimate, but as we don't have control over all the steps, we can't predict. So sorry about that. P.S. This is Miriam responding, in Mozzer Alliance at the moment.

Actually, Google's Quality Review documentation indicates it being positive that a website have an about us page with credible information on it a relative short distance from the home page. While I think it would be wrong to say that there is any clear SEO value related to putting organization schema on an about page, I think it would be considered a "best practice" and certainly wouldn't hurt.

Hi Brian, This kind of thing can be really tough to diagnose in a forum. Your Google+ Local listing status should not, in my opinion, have any major effect on your organic rankings. I recommend that you look for other clues as to something else that might have changed, such as a shakeup in your industry's organic results, new issues reported in Google Search Console, a competitor who has recently done something big to jump ahead of you. You may need to hire a consultant and open up your analytics for them so that they can start narrowing down possible issues, but I would be surprised if the Google+ Local page turned out to be at the root of this change you've seen.

301s only cause a slight loss in link authority, and is what you want to do longterm. Your current 302s are actually worse, and doing nothing for your link authority to the pages they're redirecting to since 302=temporary, which tells Google you're still making up your mind.

I have had  few clients move 100% to HTTPS and nothing bad happen as in going backwards and I won't lie I haven't seen great gain from it either. I haven't heard of anyone getting great gains from it but not moving the whole site to it is most likely doing more bad than good. Also if you have gone backwards after moving to HTTPS there could be errors. too. I would do the following: Move the whole site to HTTPS Check that HTTPS is setup right. Can do this at http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php Review any errors in webmaster tools or use a tool like semrush to check for errors. Insure all 301 from http to https is setup right and leave it for a month and see what happens.

Just in case later in the future you want to turn all your URLs to lower case you can do something like this In your .htaccess file insert this ensure it is not a file on the drive first RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s RewriteRule (.*) rewrite-strtolower.php?rewrite-strtolower-url=$1 [QSA,L] Then in your root directory place a file called rewrite-strtolower.php and insert if(isset($_GET['rewrite-strtolower-url'])) { $url = $_GET['rewrite-strtolower-url']; unset($_GET['rewrite-strtolower-url']); $params = http_build_query($_GET); if(strlen($params)) { $params = '?' . $params; } header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' . strtolower($url) . $params, true, 301); } exit(); ?>

The links actually are just in some forms

Hi. Interesting, I didn't see that article. Well, then, I guess, it's matter of preference. I'd still go with different sitemaps. cause managing them individually allows script and code based automation.

Pleasure - now go smash them..

Ali So I assume the keyword is Blouse - name of Product Jessica Women's Blouses | Jessica Blouse | Brandname H1 Fashion Blouses It is a little unusual to have the name of the product in womans fashion in the title - unless it is a big brand like G-Star etc. But that is up to you. An alternate might be Blouses | Peasant, black casual | Brand name H1 Womans fashion Blouses Then leave jessica for the description of the product?  There are 1000 ways to skin a cat, you have to decide which way to go. I prefer the latter. Hope that assists. .

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. I will follow your 2 prolonged approach! Ben

Hi Prime! In short, Moz Local tracks a total of 15 platforms. 10 of these we directly update and manage for you. 5 of them you will need to manage manually. The 10 we directly update for you are: Acxiom Best of the Web Bing Citysearch Factual Foursquare Infogroup Insiderpages Localeze Superpages The other 5 we track but don't push to are: Google Facebook YP Yelp Hotfrog In order to sign up for Moz Local, you will first need to have either a verified Google+ Local page or Facebook Place as these are the 2 sources we draw data from and validate against. Hope this helps!

Many thanks, all extremely helpful information! It's really appreciated. This all gives me some food for thought and it also looks like I've got some work to do! Thanks again.
