Thank you, this was helpful!!

My firm has tried working with cheaper ($300ish a month) SEO companies, and the results were inconsequential. It felt like throwing money away - over many months, we never made any real headway. I would suggest looking for a qualified freelancer versus a company at this point - with less overhead, they are sometimes able to work for a lower rate. If you have a solid idea of what needs to be done, perhaps you can find an intern to do the actual tasks? I agree with all the other comments - the sooner you start, the better, and you do have some catching up to do now. But all isn't lost. Keep plugging away and you'll get there.

Thank you Ryan, I'll look into the CSV file!

Hi the copy just refers to the main body of text! As others have said people don't tend to read full pages of websites but rather skim. Have short paragraphs and some header tags to break up the page into easy to digest sections. This should help increase your engagement

Hi EGOL Thanks for your response lol I had a giggle at old fart I looked into crazy egg I will give it ago and sounds like a good plan with SiteTurners I will take a stab at them as well Cheers for that!

I do appreciate this kind of honesty. For me, honesty is the only thing that has made me have clients for more than 3 years.

Did this get resolved? I'm seeing your home-page indexed and ranking now. I'm not seeing any kind of redirect to an alternate URL at this point (either as a browser or as GoogleBot). If you 301'ed to an alternate URL and then rel=canonical'ed back to the source of the 301, that could definitely cause problems. It's sending a pretty strong mixed-signal. In that case you'd probably want to 302 or use some alternate method. Redirects for the home-page are best avoided, in most cases.

That is what I thought but our numbers are so off that it didn't make sense. This site has a great web presence with high impressions and image impressions are much higher. Personally I use web search much more then image search and I imagine most other people do as well.

Thanks guys, those are really useful - just what I was looking for. Appreciate the help!

Wow, excellent response Miriam and right on! The other thing you might want to consider is getting more rankings for long tail queries for each location by actively incorporating neighborhood SEO. So each location tries to get more rankings for neighborhood and other regional queries to help compensate for the fact they may not rank for KW + city. I think there have been several posts about this, but here is one I found for you from SE Land: http://searchengineland.com/ready-googles-neighborhood-algo-194161

I would just title them according to their view type. Try to put your most informative words as close to the front as possible so that it's easy to read in browser tabs, for example: Red Widgets, All Widgets, <$25 Widgets... etc. Meta description could probably be a repeat of the title tag. Make the title as UX friendly as possible.

Hi Jess, You'll probably want to figure out what kind of SEO work you need done, technical or editorial. Technical optimization of a website deals with a site's code, user experience, and overall performance while editorial optimization deals with content, linking strategy, and conversion goals. Structured data fits right in the middle, with both technical and editorial expertise needed. Which one to prioritize depends on the resources you have and how fast you need to see results. It will also depend on how competitive your chosen keywords are for the pages you want to rank. I recommend you offer to pay for ranking performance. Offer a certain amount of compensation commensurate with the number of pages that improve for selected keywords over a certain amount of time. You can get a good baseline right here on Moz.com, and then monitor progress every week or two. Insist on proper SEO strategies and put payment penalties in place for any black hat activity. I've work under this model with several clients and they all seem to be pretty happy being able to see what they're buying. Before you do all this, make sure it's cost effective--advertising might give you more bang for your buck in a shorter amount of time, depending on your type of business. Kevin

Hi Zachary, Almost across the board, Local SEOs will recommend the single site approach for the multi-store scenario. Recommend that you check this article out: http://moz.com/blog/local-landing-pages-guide ...and that you do a close study of how REI.com handles their multi-location business on their website. Especially look at the effort they put into making each location landing page on their website unique. Hope this helps!
