Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is really only based on ~five minutes of messing around with SEM Rush, but it looks like some of your competitors have taken a little bit of a hit - to a greater or lesser degree. However, there is at least one actual competitor that appears to have increased their share quite a bit in that time. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say Grossman Justice should be on your radar, if it isn't already. Yep. Sometimes it's just plain old competition. Though I would probably revisit some of those guest posts on your site, done in 2012. They're pretty exact match anchor friendly. That might not be a terribly good thing. It wouldn't hurt to possibly nofollow those links. Another thing that's a little strange and could be fixed easily is the 'Office Details' text on the contact page. It almost blends in with the background button. I don't think this is hurting much, it just looks bad. A little CSS tweak and you're looking good, at least on that point. Though I would wonder who built thousands of links with the anchor text 'lawyer'. A lot of that happened hot prior to August 2014. Without rambling on much more, I'm trying to say there are a lot of factors. Some of the little problems on your site, once fixed, can add up to bigger wins. Plus your competition has caught up to you. I don't think it's the plugin change, at least not at the moment.

Thank you so much laura! All the best. David.

The BBB link is a good one. Their A+ certification/accreditation is worth it if your client sells to consumers.  This mainly helps on conversion not SEO because of the perceived credibility this gives the company.

Hi Linda, are archive pages a duplicate page of the blog post? So they are actually separate pages? Best wishes. David.

Also useful: https://github.com/phanan/htaccess.  Cheers!

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I don't see a better place to put this. I am looking at the same report - I have a ton of 404's on the list, however I have implemented 301 redirects already.  Will this list update as the 301's get indexed?  Is it possible to have this list reflect the new pages that the 301's point to?  As it sits right now, the "Top pages by Authority" report is useless as it's showing me old pages that no longer exist. Thanks in advance for your answer. Chad

Hello there! I'm happy to say that Moz Local has launched in the UK. You may learn more about it here: https://moz.com/blog/moz-local-uk --Kelly

It looks like there is a canonical tag on the Facebook version of the site but it's still not a great idea. Unless there is a really good reason I'd remove the site. Craig

Another vote for AWRcloud. It has the most accurate localization results that we've seen and also has the ability to track organic, local pack, and map listings separately.

Absolutely agree. Dealing with 20k keywords is something that is almost impossible to do manually. In this case I would personally turn up to http://keywordtool.io/api. This is basically an API for Google autocomplete. I'd use the API to get first 10 results from Google autocomplete for every keyword. Usually the first 10 results from Google autocomplete are the most relevant keywords anyway.

For the sake of convenience, I prefer this: /service-area/dallas-tx Hope that helps!

Quick check on your site few things you could do. 1 Copyright 2013 this tells me maybe your not updated since your site started try 2013 - 2015 2 What is the main part of your site giving coupons maybe try putting coupons instead  of home 3 Category pages put some icons in i would imagine it would convert better rather than a long list of words. 4 if i was to use your page and i had a problem how would i contact you, you could try adding a contact page. 5 respond to people who rate you found this pretty easy "Their coupon was fake, I tried to use the coupon from the website www.coupon4share.com. I got the coupon, which offered 70% discount in Amazon store. I tried to use it, but some error occurred all the time. I entered the code, which was mentioned on the coupon, but the website showed that it was fault. I tried to get any info from the moderators of this website, but of course they kept silence. " 6 get some nice reviews of your site so people trust your site. There is a few suggestions hope this helps you.

Disavow those bad links and seek to increase the number of good reputable links you have. I checked out the url, you have a great looking site! I bet you could relatively easily get some influential health food bloggers or magazine editors to write about your products. Food's relatively easy to get links for because you can send out 1000s of samples to influencers at a very tiny cost. This is a time honored PR method that still applies in the digital age. If people like the food and the message, they will many times write about it. I'd suggest approaching those types of influencers, telling them the story of your brand and potentially sampling them. If they like your product, chances are they will write about it and you might get some great backlinks out of it. Key is you cannot pay for those links, they must be freely given because the editor/blogger/writer likes your product and/or brand. Best of luck!

I second what Ray says, having the rule in your .htaccess file is always a good practice. Especially to prevent the annoyance of seeing both versions in your Google Analytics. This question was answered in another Moz Q&A, and although it's from 2012 the responses are still good.

But, in the first place, why did you choose to NOINDEX, FOLLOW those product pages? If you have a preferred product page among those different variants seen as duplicate why don't you just use canonical to point there? What do you think is the benefit of noindexing? Theoretically leaving them there with the duplicate content and a canonical you are wasting some google bot crawling budget, but unless you need google to crawl your pages with a high frequency (because your content is frequently updated) I wouldn't care much. Personally I see de-indexing as the last resort.
