Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey There, This post should help you become conversant with the ins and outs of local landing pages: http://moz.com/blog/local-landing-pages-guide You can definitely optimize each city landing page you build for the city in question. The main pitfall to avoid with this practice is developing thin or duplicative pages. Be sure if you're embarking on this content development project that you have the resources to devote to making unique pages of the highest possible quality. Hope this helps!

You can use send feedback button at the bottom of the search page results. It will ask for more information about your query fbSOKdH

thank you Andreas!

Thank you, much appreciated

Hi Michael, Thanks a lot for the detailed information. It helped to resolve my question completely

As far as Moz posts go, my first guess is that that's being pulled from our Google+ page. Next most likely source is RSS, but given the requirements of Google Now, I'd put pretty good money on it being data from G+. I'm not aware of us specifically tagging for it.

Thanks for the lengthy response Jarno - your advise is much appreciated. I think we will give the slow disavow approach a go first, esp given the risks associated with changing domains.  A steady approach seems to be safest at this point. Thanks again for your input.  Regards, Prue

Tom, I do get what you are going for. I also understand what Ray is saying and I do think he has some good points. I would also start by looking at multiple options. The options I see are this: Keep the current domain and expend it like Ray suggested (/mazda=tires/ etc). Start a new domain (carparts.com) and redirecting your current pages to the new domain (carports.com/toyota-parts/) Keep the current domain and create a new domain for your expansion and linking them all together. So you get toyotaparts.com, mazdaparts.com, hondaparts.com etc. Every option has a few pro's and cons speaking for it. The domain you currently own and use also has an age factor in its favor. By redirecting it to a new domain you may pass on the authority but you won't pass on the age of the domain. Though new websites tend to rank well in the beginnen, then start dropping some and then settle down it's still a risk factor. Ever more in a very competitive niche. Maybe the real answer is somewhere in between the options. You could also keep what you have right now, and expend by creating both carparts.com and mazdaparts.com. What you then could do is build something on carparts.com and from there refer to each individual site (toyotaparts.com/mazdaparts.com etc). And you expend by creating new fresh sites and by creating your own high quality new fresh content that's unique and refer it to your other content on the other websites. That way you get a spider web with carports in the center of it and the other sites at the far end, linking it all together to one giant network. Some SEO's might have to say something about this too but I'm just giving you my piece of mind and my thoughts on this subject. Hope this helps you some. Regards Jarno

You're correct and good catch! If you want that Ad History to remain, you'll need to duplicate the ads and update the URLs.

Hi Mike, Welcome to the Moz community and congratulations on your new website. It's great to see you here and doing your due diligence on link building beforehand, it will surely pay off in the long-term. Moz has created a very handy and informative link building guide, especially for those in your position. Have you read through it already? If not, I highly suggest starting there. Moz's link building guide: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-link-building

At this time, Moz does not provide access from multiple users to a single account. It is on the product roadmap and a very popular requested feature, but we haven't seen it added to the service as of yet. Currently, you'd need to email separate reports to your clients.

Well, that depends on the structure of your website and how you want to use category pages. For example, I manage an ecommerce website that sells Widgets. I have a high ranking XYZ Widgets product page. It sells amazing and since my price is so awesome, people link to it from their blogs and such. However, XYZ widgets just became discontinued. When the product page disappears, it creates a 301 to my main Widgets Category. My Widgets Category page isn't going anywhere (not being removed from the site anytime soon) and ranks high in the SERPs. All those 301'ed product pages help improve its authority and allows me to rank high for a broad industry term - it also acts an efficient landing page. That's just one store setup though, it could be that your category pages do not add value and you use a different page for that type of use. If you're not using your category pages to rank in the SERPs, then I would find which broad pages you do want to rank and have the product pages 301'd to those pages (to save any authority gained). In terms of Internal linking, since I want my category pages to rank, a clear internal link structure helps that case. It also ends up that my category pages have a higher internal link count because of the structure I have in place. That all contributes to the category pages ranking higher for broader terms and allows my product pages to rank higher for the specific terms.

I have taken a look at that and mine is set normal. I also checked Google and that is set to what they recommend.

I'll go through these in order. #1-#4 Not unless you're advertising a different domain name via collateral or other channels. In regard to #3 specifically, that should be an easy SQL find and replace (e.g. Find smithjonespllc.com and replace with smithjonesdoepllc.com) if you have to change the name. Then get ready for a ton of NAP cleanup. #5 This may be an interesting opportunity to measure your offline efforts. Perhaps a clone of the site could be blocked via robots.txt and meta robots. Though you're better off spending most of your efforts online anyway. It's just a thought. #6 I've worked with a number of firms and partners come and go. So it's a question of permanence/vanity in many instances. Though it's entirely possible to make a page for the partner and run a local campaign for each partner. You'll more than likely get more mileage that way, and have less NAP cleanup issues. My aunt is the President of her firm, though all of the properties only have the founding partner's names. The firm is over 100 years old and they're doing fine.

I would also like to see it available in the UK as well as I don't think we have anything similar here which does this. Peter

Thanks Ray for answering so quickly. It is custom Wordpress website. A basic FAQ is good enough. Thanks Again

Thanks so much everyone. Not only was it all very helpful, it was very fast.  Thanks and have a great day.

Hi, I'm a noobie and I'm seeing the same thing. From what I understand we're supposed to be seeing weekly updates in the dashboard on a weekly basis. The last data I'm seeing is for the week of April 17th-23rd, which is over a week ago. Am I misunderstanding something? Help. Thanks.
