Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi qwaswd,

Have you  tried creating and submitting an XML sitemap of your blog using Google Search Console?

A non-spammy comment:

Thank you for the note. This came up recently in a client meeting, and per one of your blog posts, we suggested the use of BuzzSumo. While that did not bring up as many mentions of the brand as  we thought it would, it did give us four pretty nice potential backlink opportunities from some higher domain authority websites out there.

Zack

Greg,

Thanks so much for following up. I applaud your effort in this, and am sorry to hear that posting to GMB didn't do the trick.

Silly question, possibly, but just in case  -- have you used Google Search Console to ensure that your page containing backlinks is being indexed?

Best,
Zack

Hi Andy,

We just went through this with a client. Here's a little bit of our experience, just in case this is useful.

• For a client's keyword research, we started by putting together keyword research seed lists based initially by going through their Google Search Console "queries". We gathered together those keywords, for each page, and added geo locations to the keywords, pluralization, and other types of basic variations to get to hundreds (or more) of keywords for each page. BUT yes, like you, most of these keywords in our initial seed lists wound up having "No data" for search volume.

• Fortunately, however, we also then  added in Moz ideas, using Moz Pro Keyword Explorer. This brought many  more suggestions in for each page, and while some were highly irrelevant, it did bring many ideas in that we had not thought of, which helped bolster our lists, and with very high search volume keyword ideas to boot.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sim,

Moz has written an article that speaks to this in detail. Is this what you are asking?

Hi Greg,

Yes, no problem at all.

From within your Google My Business profile, you can see the "Your latest post" section, and click the "Create post" button. Hope this helps! (Please let me know your findings if you don't mind!)

Much appreciated,
Zack

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the quick response and clarification. This is very helpful, and I am tracking with you (completely) regarding your suggestions to the original poster.

Thanks also for the encouragement. Only twice in my career have I heard someone say anything even remotely negative about my SEO efforts, so paired with your comment and my experience, I'm going to take what this client is saying with a grain of salt.

Greatly appreciated,
Zack

Hi there,

Have you reached out to Moz support with this request?

Hi there!

Can you please rephrase the question? It is somewhat difficult for me to understand.

Happy to help however.

Hi Slim,

Quality, relevant backlinks would be helpful to you here, but there are numerous other ranking factors. Essentially, though, if you are competing for the same exact keyword, yes, you would want to have a higher page rank than that of your competitor, with preferably better quality page.

Hope this helps.

Zack

Hi Hadia,

So sorry -- but would you be able to rephrase your question? It is a little difficult for me to understand. Happy to help though.

Zack

This is a difficult one to answer, as Google as explicitly stated that if you use 301 redirects to do this, your ranking will not be affected. On the other hand, I have heard 1-2 SEO professionals say that they have found otherwise.

Hope this is helpful!

Zack

Have you been focusing on obtaining high quality, relevant "follow" backlinks?

Thanks,
Zack

Hi there,

Are the websites that are linking back to yours "follow" links, or "nofollow" links? And how long has it been since you obtained these backlinks?

Thanks,
Zack

Hi there,

To chime in, I believe it would be incredibly helpful for you to go through Moz training for keyword research. Have you done so?

Best,
Zack

Hi Mosalah,

I'm having trouble understanding the question. Can you please rephrase? (Are you referring to Schema?)

Best,
Zack

Do you have FTP access and / or Yoast installed (if this is a WordPress website)?

Thanks,
Zack

This may or may not help, but to chime in, I have heard of SEOs posting pages in Google updates and social media posts to help it get picked up faster. If you try this, can you let me know how that goes?

Thanks,
Zack

Hi  there,

Here is a copy paste from a Moz staffer on this. Hope this helps!

Spam Score in Links and Link Explorer represents the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google. Our machine learning model identified **27 common features **among the millions of banned or penalized sites in the data we fed it.

You can read more about Spam Score on our Help Hub - including an awesome video that explains how to use the score as well as the factors we use to calculate the score.

Your Spam Score - This does not mean that your site is definitely spammy. The percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to change these factors on your site, but it may be worthwhile to consider them. It is best to use this percentage figure to judge the quality of inbound links to your site, giving you a signal to help you determine which of those links needs some further investigation and, perhaps, even removal.

Another site's Spam Score - Again, this doesn't mean that these sites are spammy. This percentage represents a wide variety of potential signals ranging from content concerns to low authority metrics. Since this is just based on correlation with penalization, rather than causation, the solution isn't necessarily to disregard sites or disavow links with higher Spam Scores. Instead, we'd recommend using it as a guide for kick starting investigations. Be sure to check out a site's content and its relevance in linking back to you before disregarding or disavowing.

You can read more about Link Explorer metrics here https://moz.com/help/link-explorer

Have you tried targeting keywords for those search terms using a something more geo specific? Example: ایزوپروپیل الکل {city name}?
