Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Relative URLs can be used, but it's still superior to use absolute URLs to avoid any mistakes down the line. i.e.  you miss a 301 redirect on a subdirectory and both HTTP and HTTPs versions resolve. Relative URLs can be used in a pinch, but aren't recommended.

You can also use Google's dedicated Mobile-Friendly Test to ascertain if your site cuts the mustard or not. Yours, I'm happy to report, does.

That Stack Overflow discussion goes into getting Google Tag Manager up and running. It's best to clean up URLs to get as many as possible pointing to HTTPS.  That way you're not making unnecessary redirection hops with things you can control.  Cheers!

Hi, From above example I can tell you very clearly that keyword with UK is less competitive that is why keywords with UK appearing on better position in comparison to other keywords even without doing any seo. Second as you said that you are not doing any seo but I presume you could have use UK anywhere on webpage or define target country as UK  in webmaster tools . If that is not the case your site is ranking for UK keywords because your domain is co.uk Thanks

Hi Joseph. This will probably be the quickest way for you to gain links. Go to the OSE Link Opportunities Tab: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/opportunities/link-intersect?site=fillinyoursite.com At top, add your site, in the the tab "Link Intersect" add competitors. Look at ways to acquire links where your competition has them, but you do not. This varies quite a bit, sometimes you're emailing someone, sometimes it's a relationship over social, sometimes PR, and so on.

Hi Harry, Agree with Ryan here that your client is in an excellent position to rank organically (if not locally) for additional cities, given the non-existence of competitors in his 30 mile radius. However, you have 2 major challenges to address and overcome. A car dealership is a brick-and-mortar business without any obvious relationship to any city beyond its own. This is not a service area business that goes to towns B, C and D to repair plumbing or trim trees. So challenge #1 is to sit down with the client and do an honest assessment of whether the two of you can discover a legitimate connection to cities B, C and D. Just off the top of my head, this might include: Sponsorship of events, sports teams or other things in cities B, C and D Rotating regional specials, as in, bring us a piece of mail with your address in City B and receive a 5% discount on X at our dealership Participation in industry-related happenings in these other cities. For example, blog coverage of an antique car show, an auto race, a vintage car club, teaching at a driver's training school or teaching road safety to students. Blog coverage of industry-related news or laws pertaining to cars, traffic, safety, etc. that is applicable to each of the specific cities Endorsements of or tie-ins to businesses in the other cities. For example, partner with an auto garage in City B to provide some kind or special for doing business with both companies. These are the types of things you need to brainstorm. If no relationship to the other cities exists, then the customer can't move forward. He must either mine his business model to discover these relationships or begin to build them so that he can prove he is a relevant result for these other cities. Challenge #2 hinges on the quality of what you and the client develop together. You mention that you are already working on city landing pages. The client should aim for just 1 page per target city on the website and make it as interesting, useful and strong as possible. Do not create thin or duplicative pages. This is not a good marketing strategy for any business, under any circumstances. Once you have got the basic page in place featuring the 'relationship' content, consider developing an on-site blog to continue on with this work, producing new writing on an on-going basis about contests, events, specials etc. You don't have to do tons of this, because of the lack of competition. Even a single blog post a month for each of the target cities will likely get you pretty far in what you're hoping to achieve, because of the client's fortunate lack of competitors. In all efforts, stress quality to the client and this should be a viable strategy. Hope this helps!

Hi Dirk, Thank you so much for your reply. I just want to be sure that this is not a recommended practice. We will show everything to users and robots, but the content won't be organized in the same way. Regards

Personally, I wouldn't use it. In my opinion it looks incredibly spammy, unless it's a blog post referring to another post or page on the website.

Very good point. I usually don't post external links TO my site on G+ so I didn't think of this. I do this for discovery of my own pages but not the other way around.  Good tip!

this is the way I understood it - if you can add the canonical url to each page it is ok. If you can't add the canonical you shouldn't mask the url as you will be creating duplicate content as each page is accessible on 2 urls, the subdomain and your personal domain

Hi Jared, Webmaster tools is indeed the only way you can check what the % of image search is (you can also see it in Google Analytics if you have linked both accounts - it is the same data however as it's measured via webmaster tools). Solution you put in place seems a very good idea. rgds Dirk

We have this issue with Law Firms or Solicitors as they are generally know in the UK and I can only echo what has been mentioned above. Claim those Google+ listings, getting you NAP sorted, add as much info to the Google+ listing, We have had more success when we have uploaded photos to the new sections (indoors, outdoors and staff). We also have location pages with good on page SEO elements in place and link from the Google+ pages to the location pages on the client website. Good luck
