Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The issue is working in so many countries

Yes so the issue is how to increase the notoriety of the service / product pages.

I guess speaking on blog about the thematics around is the less worst. ..

What do u thinK ?

Hello,

Thanks you for your answer but the company deals with IT Services not with travel

It makes it more difficult to find some local blogs to exchange posts.

Previous answers are definitely the good ones. Focus on relevance more. However you can still add a small popup message (or better module position) explaining the new redirection

Hello !

David and Karl are right on it. I would personally work on a unique website. You can get specific pages per cites (as long as it's not the same with just different names) or you can make some blog post focus on each city problematic

Good luck !

Matt is right on this.

Some years you may have tried to look for satellite websites or more. Now it's definitely not recommended.

In our case we reviewed all our competitors backlinks to see if there is any good website to do guest blogging with.

But the main guideline is now is: write content, make it good and useful, promote it on social media.

It is the best methods (at least the 7/30/13)

Hello Moz !

I've been working for some months on a very interesting SEO project. I even opened some discussions on it (Multi Regional website - Folder strategy, Multi Company websites) with amazing feedbacks from the community.

INITIAL PROJECT

Set up an international website with different subsidiaries name, 1 person to manage the whole web, different locations / regions / languages and same products.

INITIAL IDEAS

For the beginning of the project we opened a main website in .com with subfolders for the other subsidiaries .com/es ...

However our business is mainly in English so we decided to focus harder (closing the .com/uk, using a unic com/blog, opening more pages etc.) on the main domain in .com

CURRENT ISSUE

How to rank locally our services with:

• Main domain in .com
• Last Google updates against link building
• Most of customers searching in English in different countries
• Company working in more than 80 countries, through 13 subsidiaries

**IDEA **

I was thinking about using our blog to focus 3 months on a thematic around one service (blog post with link to the services article on our website, guest blogging with link to a blog post, discussions on Linkedin around the thematics, etc.)

QUESTION

What could be the best strategy to rank locally our products in this case ?

Hope you can share  your best advise. I guess I'm not the unique one to face this issue. So it'll be good to make a good strategy for all our community

Tks a lot !

Rafi is right. It's recommended to be closer in the url domain. But as the difference will not be huge it's really up to you.

If you have too many changes (coding, indexing, 301, etc.) it may not be justified. Otherwise give it a try it should not be bad !

I agree with Ade, you should more focus on 1 website. Especially if the other one is just for canonical.

You may get two websites for local searchs in some very specific cases.

Mum ... I never really looked this as a problem until the last Google updates.

So if I got it properly:

1. Keeping one link on the home may not hurt my website (now)
2. Keeping the footer link on all website would be the last thing to do
3. Keeping the link in nofollow can bring me some new customers (now) and penalize my site soon

I think I'm going for the nofollow option now.

What do you think ?

Hello !

I was wondering if it's still a good idea to let a do-follow link on the bottom of agency released websites.

Because they obvisouly come from different websites with no link with a web marketing agency.

• Do we have to keep them in the footer in no-follow ?
• If we do so, how to get some link juice from the different websites ?

It sounds a bit stupid but one of my partners went from PR7 to PR5 recently. I guess Penguin 2.0 did not like all its links from its customers' website.

Tks a lot !

Sorry but I tried to find what you recommend but I did not. Would you mind to give me a screen shot ?

TKs a lot !

Tks u !

I did not find it exactly but I remenbered I was in touch with Google staff for a bulk import. Let see what do they say

Hello !

I'm strugling with a stupid issue.

I have for my company:

• A website
• A google page
• A google entreprise / place page
• A youtube page

They are all Google services so does anyone know if there is a way to link all of them together ?

I know it's possible for youtube and Google page, but let me know google was smart enough to let us link our places.google.com and google +

Tks a lot !

Hello

I got the same issue. In our case we did a page by subsidiary in Google page entreprise and one for the main group in google page.

It's not the best but anyway it's working fine.

You're right

Mum ... so as it's going quite well now. I think I gonna let it like that.

The issue I have is that I have few visit on each page. So it's gonna be very difficult to see if there is any change.

This is why I was looking for some elements into our favorite forum

tks for your help

Hello

Yes you're right. So better to remove the Hits from the h1 ?

Hello !

I was wondering if it's a good idea to keep the "Hits" in the H1 ?

http://www.ibremarketing.com/item/netapp-e5400-storage-system.html

Will Google come to check regularly the update (new information if I'm right) or if he will not like the idea to come back just for hits update.

As I have very good results on this part of the website, I do not want to take any risk.

Thanks a lot !

Hello

So I made the following setup http://awesomescreenshot.com/0561bnia48

But I do not exactly understand what do you mean by "start big and then cut"

The ideal for me will just be to know what people are looking into my website.

Tks a lot for  your help !
