Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi!

I don't have any posts on it, it's just from my experience working on international SEO, as Gianluca says.

Hope you already got this solved. If not, maybe this post will help you out: http://searchengineland.com/find-queries-per-url-using-search-analytics-report-google-search-console-gsc-231198

Hi!

I managed several sites that were multilingual and aimed at people from different countries. At first, I didn't put hreflang and people used to see the correct website according to their language and country.

BUT (there's always a but), for example, when people googled the brand name + something, the websites appeared in SERPs with sitelinks, and the sitelinks didn't match the correct language/location.

So, if it isn't much trouble, I would suggest putting hreflang tags, to be sure (kind of) that you won't get into problems like the one I had.

If I were in your situation, I would probably do exactly as you say you're going to do.

EDIT: maybe using Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager to verify the account would let you take off the part of reaching out to the IT guys, but if they work fast enough it's the same.

Thank you both!

Hi!

I need to add in my .htaccess a way to redirect URL that don't end with / to the one thats end wth /.For example, I need http://example.com to redirect to http://www.example.com/. And, of course, this redirection should be only for URLs that don't end with /, so I don't get double // at the end.

I already have the code to redirect the non-www to the www, but can't find a way to do the slash thing.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your responses!

Exactly! I'm looking for a social media solution where I can post in several accounts at once, but those accounts are the G+ pages that where created when I created the Places profile.

Hi, how are you?

I have a client that is a company that has aproximately 30 franchises.

For each franchise, I created a Google Places (now My Business) profile, and then for each profile I have a G+ profile.

The problem is that I need a SaaS or a software that allows me to post in each of those profiles automaticaly, like Hootsuite (when I enter with the account I have registered the Places profiles, it catches the G+ profile of that person, not the GPlaces accounts).

Do you know any?

Thanks!

Oh, that's what I thought. I'll contact them.

Thanks for your answer!

Hi, how are you?

I'm Having some problems with my clients Google Places/Plus listings. Everything is OK, but I can't get my website linked. I'm talking about what I point out in the image.

I tried following this instructions: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1713826?hl=en&ref_topic=3052532, but I can't find the Link website button next to my website URL.

Do you know why is this happening?

Thanks!

Hi! how are you?

I've been working on some of my sites, and noticed that i'm getting lots of crawls by search engines that i'm not intereted in ranking well.

My question is the following: do you have a list of 'bad behaved' search engines that take lots of bandwidth and don´t send much/good traffic?

If so, do you know how to block them using robots.txt?

Thanks for the help!

Hi! How are you?

I'm having a problem: for some reason I don't understand, Google Webmasters Tool isn't indexing the sitemaps I'm uploading.

One of them is http://chelagarto.com/index.php?option=com_xmap&sitemap=1&view=xml&lang=en . Do you see what could be the problem? It says it only indexed 2 website. I've already sent this Sitemap several times and I'm always getting the same result.

I'd really use some advice.

Thanks!

Thank you both!

I was able to geotarget the subfolder via Webmasters Tool. Now I'll check the results.

Thank you!

Hi! How are you?

I'm having the following problem: I have a client that has a big multilingual website, in spanish, portugese and english. The server is in Brazil, but he wants to migrate it to USA. I think that this will affect my SERPs in Brazil, and Brazil is the most important country where we need to be first in SERPs.

I'd like to, somehow, tell Google that http://website.com/pt is for Brazil and http://website.com/es is for Argentina, so I can avoid the problem that I'll have when the migration is completed and I lose my brazilian IP.

Do you have any tips on what should I do?

Thanks!

Best wishes,

Ariel

Hi, how are you?

I'm working with the SEO of a hotel. I completed the Google Places profile, but i'm having a problem: when you go to the map in google maps near the hotel, it shows all the hotels around like in the picture i'm attaching, with little icons like a fork for restaurants, a bed for hotels, a bag for shopping malls.

Do you know what reasons could cause that my hotel isn´t appearing like that, with those icons?

I'll be really grateful if you can help me with this.

Thanks!

There's anybodoy out there?

Hi you all, how are you?

I'm having a problem with a new client. His website is multilanguage, and he wanted to position his website in Google US, Google Brazil and Google Argentina.

The problem is the following: the client is an hotel chain, and for every hotel they own they have an internal website. Because each internal website is well optimized for the keyword that include the city the hotel is in, now the page is decently positioned with the internal pages, not the home. This is fine by me, but here is the problem. Each language (es, en and pt) ranks better in each country. How would you exchange links? Because I have, for each keyword, three websites, each one in a different languages.

Coul you give me an idea with this? Someone has experienced the same thing?

Thanks!
