Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes, there is a corporate site which links to all the sites. We essentially want to do the same on the individual websites.

Hi Judd, If you are only hiding these elements on the mobile view, this shouldn't cause an issue from a rankings perspective. You will want to make sure that they can access your CSS file (sometimes CSS files are blocked from crawlers). It is possible that having it hidden will mean they discount that content slightly for the mobile version, but as long as they know it's a mobile version of the desktop site they will primarily take the desktop signals into consideration when it comes to rankings (with a small boost for mobile-friendliness in the mobile SERPs). Once the mobile-first index rolls out this will change but they have stated that with mobile-first indexing, hiding content for space reasons won't negatively impact how they weight that content, so that shouldn't affect your approach practically speaking.

Hi Judd. You wouldn't need the title or description tags for Google's sake (or Bing's sake) on pages behind a login since they couldn't crawl those pages. That said, title tags aren't just used by search engines. That is also the title that shows for the page in the browser window and in the bookmark name (if people bookmark those pages), so it can be worthwhile to add a good title tag to help your visitors. Obviously, beyond the meta description tag, there are other meta tags that you might need (like meta viewport or metra reresh, etc.).

Hey Judd, I would't bother with this in 2017. Most of the people comment on the bigger sites anyway so you can just turn it off. Cheers, Martin

Hey Judd, I also agree with Martin. I would suggest reducing the number of articles on your homepage. The homepage is more of a gateway to introduce further primary content, services and products of your site. A space to sell and entice your audience. I think by having so many articles you are potentially causing more distractions that necessary. More content about your business and services would also be more beneficial than the blog content. Maybe just have a single row for your blog, featuring a single article from each of your categories. That way hopefully you will enable your services to shine a little more whilst still retaining some peripheral related content seo value. If people are searching for your blog content and you rank well, the articles themselves will predominately be the landing pages rather than your home page. Hope that is of some use. Cheers Tim

Hi Jackson! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your paused listings this morning. I'm afraid we experienced an issue with our connection to Google which has already been resolved and our engineers are in the process of un-pausing all affected listings. Paused listings have no impact on what we have already distributed to our data partners. When this situation occurs under normal circumstances (deleted Google page, street address hidden), this would only prevent you from making new changes or updates. I had a chance to peek into your account and was able to verify that your listing is active again. I apologize for any inconvenience. As always, you can reach out to our team directly if any issues of this nature pop up again in the future by sending a note to help@moz.com. Sorry again for the trouble on this one - I hope you have a great day! -Kristina
