Help in Rich snippet
I am checking your schemas with https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ and it seems your product and review snippets are well implemented. We implemented them two years ago on a quite powerful ecommerce site, and it only appears for branded keywords. Having the schema is a must for appearing, but not enough for Google to show them. Luck and patience!

Alt text from an external site
You should find an equilibrum here. Best option is to have some powerful keywords on the link anchor, or in this case as the image ALT. Having these kind of external links is really valuable. But not over-optimize it and use the same text in every external site linking you, as normal user behaviour is to link using your brand.

Creating easy to digest, sexy presentations
Not sure, I dont think there's an option for that though. I just go the Photoshop route and remove it from the PDF.

Brightlocal Citationburst
Hi Corn, I'm so sorry you've not received a reply from the community on this. Could be we have more Moz Local customers here than Bright Local customers I've never used their service, but do hear good things about the company's owner, Myles Anderson. A similar service is also offered by Whitespark, owned by Darren Shaw who is another nice fellow. You might look at past threads here in the forum regarding both companies. I'm sorry I can't offer a personal assessment of either service.

Problem with internal links.
Hello Toby! First of all, Screaming Frog will search for every type of links in your site, even if they are images or external. So you need to analyze better this data. I've checked here and screaming frog reported to me 107 inlinks. Your second query is not a real problem, but I would avoid have those links. Hope I helped you Lucas

Whats in a domain name in terms of SE ranking.
Since EMD updates, we haven't dropped rank at all. I'm aware of the topics on EMD, but it's been great for a certain client in a city the size of 450k. Very competitive KWd space too. In fact, we combined two of the highest searched keywords and made a single domain. The end result: this client gets calls all day long (tracking number) another thing your not supposed to do. This sites been stuck on Spot A in maps and #1 SEO results. Beyond citation done our way and good On page...no links. Go figure....

Product instant answers?
Hi Will, The previous reply is a good one - these are answer boxes and are becoming more and more common. Here are a few more resources for you that may help: http://searchengineland.com/library/google/google-onebox-plus-box-direct-answers https://moz.com/blog/more-google-answer-boxes-with-bonus-experiment https://moz.com/blog/101-google-answer-boxes-a-journey-into-the-knowledge-graph It's definitely worth following Dr. Pete on this topic, he tends to spot these new features pretty early and often talks about what they could mean for the future, as he has in the blog posts above.

Keyword Difficulty tool showing Google search volume or Bing?
Nick - Probably a dumb question but I want to confirm my understanding. I know all search Volume metrics are estimates at best, but .... reporting a search volume from Bing as 100 searches/month is intended to represent actual searches on Bing, right? Assuming Google gets 5-10 times more search volume depending on the keyword, in terms of actual volume a keyword If I see a kw that gets 100 searches on Bing, it might get 500+ on Google (just broadly estimating), correct? Just wanted to confirm that Moz doesn't adjust the Bing volume to account for their lower share of search, and normalize the numbers up to estimate the search volume across all search engines. Thanks! Mike

Geo content and where Googlebot crawls from.
Google is location-agnostic, though will act like it cares about location depending on the location of the search. If it pulled the wrong thumbnail for you, it got there via a link (internal or external) and felt that is an appropriate result. What you do now depends on your goal (change the thumbnail for example). It's good that you appear with a geo-targeted piece of content. This means you're responding to local searches. Google will show different SERP results for every person and location, so there isn't much value/concern over how they see your site. They see it from "all" locations.

Similar pages on a site
I'm simply going to re-emphasize what others have said here: it's more important how similar the content is than anything else. "Jumpers" is certainly broad enough that you can attack it from several different content angles. If your website sells jumpers, it's not unusual to have multiple pages about jumpers. The key is that every page should serve a specific purpose. If this isn't the case, work to find ways to either: Consolidate or Make the purpose of each page uniquely valuable. Hope that helps! Best of luck with your SEO.

Thank you Patrick! I'm a big believer in testing as well (aren't we all nowafays), however, a lack of tech tools or flexibility can be an unfortunate hurdle in a journey to establishing a testing culture. Clayton
