        I don't have a definitive answer, but have some thoughts:

        1. Between the two top menus & the side menu there's ton of navigation on each page compared to the amount of content. I would expect bots to pick up on what's nav and what's not - maybe Google will & Roger won't? Most of the nav is in the header, which is in a

          <header>element, or in the footer, in a

          <footer>element, which is good. Maybe the nav sections themselves should be in

          <nav>elements?</nav>

          </footer>

          </header>

        2. There are some typos in the source. For example, the og:image tag is typed as og;image (with a semicolon. I didn't look it up, but I'm pretty sure that should be a colon). Also, on the testimonials page, the mainthat contains the content is missing a space, so it's written like this:

          Thanks John,

          Always nice to get a second pair of eyes on my code.

          I made all the changes you described and ran another crawl test. Turn's out you were exactly right! The <divclass...>missing a space was the main issue.</divclass...>

          That very tiny error stopped MOZ from crawling any and all content within that main content div, so it couldn't see anything else except for the duplicated navigation, header and footer elements.

          THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
