Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Joseph Google actually provides a resource on assisting you in getting in Google News. You can read that here. I would also suggest checking out Schema's NewsArticle markup. This can also help crawlers see that content is news related. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or comments - good luck!

Thank you for your reply, I will follow your advice and go over all of my links again. John

Domain authority is the key here, now only their links get crawled but they all get ranked, usually in the top 10.

Hi JoAnne! Could you submit a help ticket to help@moz.com so that I can take a look at your campaigns and file a bug if necessary? Thanks! Kevin Help Team

Hi there Along with the Google Mobile Friendly Test that Dirk suggested above (which I HIGHLY suggest using during this time), I would also take a look at Google's Mobile SEO Guide, particularly in the Signal Your Configuration section. From the sounds of things, you might want to look at the Separate URLs section. It's super easy to read and provides examples. There is a LOT of helpful information in there that can help you prepare your website and take advantage of best practices. Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Good luck!

@Martijn told you the key, is not a good idea, use the flow in https://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/choose-your-international-strategy-tool/ and the resources of @Patrick Also take a look to these tools: http://www.internationalseomap.com/hreflang-tags-generator/ http://www.themediaflow.com/tool_hreflang.php To not make a mistake with the hreflangs Hope it helps

Full and correct NAP (Name, Address, Phone) Local Citations with consistent NAP Verified G+ Local Page - this needs to be properly set up And your business appearing on the map is influence by the keyword competition and your competitors as well (how many reviews they have, how may relevant citations, etc).

Correct you should make sure is not used elsewhere. But I can't refrain from stressing again to hide the content is unlikely the best strategy.

that was very helpful.  Thank you!!

Hi Kasy, did you get to the bottom of this?

Hey there, this is Michael on the Moz Help Team! When you are setting up the campaign for your domain, you want to make sure to click the "+Advanced" button under the "What site do you want to track?" box. Then check the box to exclude subdomains http://prntscr.com/6uvd8k. I'm sorry to say that this isn't a setting that you can edit after the campaign has been created, so you'll need to create a new campaign for your domain. I hope this helps!

Just like everyone else here responded, ssl is no major ranking factor. Implemented ssl on 8 websites during the last 4-6 months and there was no change in ranking.

Hi there, thanks for your question! Has it been answered? We'd love an update on this issue, thanks!! Christy

+1 to what Rene said, google is not forced to use your meta description (especially when the website is in a "complicated" niche).
