Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I would suggest looking a local seo citations, I would worry too much about the anchor text too much

The domain .com or  .co.uk does not matter unless it is quality site. If it is a quality website it can help you to grow.

Structured data is very important for better ranking on search engine. You can visit this site to analyze more about this.

"Should the area landing pages be child pages and the web design be the parent?" Child in which sense? In the nav? in the site flow? In both scenarios, it's completely up to you. Depends on what UX do you want users to have. "less juice" - again, in what sense? backlinks? the structure has nothing to do with it - external or internal links. Traffic? That'll depend on rankings and other marketing promos.

I think you might be over thinking the TLD a bit much. Take a step back and look at it more like this - "does it benefit the user" if the site is relevant to your niche it really doesn't matter if its a .com .co.uk or even a .org etc. its the content of the site that's important more than the domain ext.  I'd argue a point if you had a varied link profile but it doesn't matter too much if its .com etc. Hope that helps. *quick edit If you are worried a bit more and want to get more technical you could use the sites scehma to help with targeting but again it should be relevance first.

Hi, Hope this clarifies. It is not a penalisation, your links are telling to the algorithms of the search engines that your website is popular in the USA and not so popular in the UK. If your only target market is UK, not delivering to USA; At least 75% of your links should be local, related to the topic, low spam score, dofollow, hopefully PA over the one you are targeting and DA also over your website´s DA. Good luck! Mª Verónica

I agree with what effectdigital said. It looks like everything is in place and your non-www and you http versions of the website are redirecting to the https-www version of the site.

Not a problem!

No, a domain is something like yoursite.com. Referral means coming from outside. If you have a link from yoursite.com pointing to another page on yoursite.com, in terms of SEO that is not counted as a 'referring' page (or domain). I don't know how Moz's tool views this, but in terms of how you should look at it, it's not to be considered a referring domain when you are doing domain-internal linking Internal site-link structure can help to push more deeply nested URLs up Google's rankings for more niche keywords (to the point where they should rank appropriately, not beyond that point). Keep in mind though, that links move SEO authority from one place on the web to another. A fraction of the linking URL's PageRank will be lost as it is transmitted to lower-level pages, so don't overplay this tactic or run with it too far, or your linking address(es) may start to slip down (slightly) If your site is big and well known with lots of SEO authority and trust, then there's not a lot to worry about. If your site is relatively green, you might see no benefit from the work or you might see higher level pages bleeding out

Hey Carrie, The first thing I would do is figure out which version is already indexed by Google or like other Mozzers have stated pick the version with the higher page authority according to Moz. Also, in the event, your CMS doesn't handle the trailing slash issue you can update your Htaccess file to set up dynamic redirects to whichever version you prefer. Daniel Morell has a good guide on htaccess SEO specifically there's a section on how to force trailing slash within the htaccess file. Good luck

I am happy I could be of help please let me know if there's anything else I can be of assistance with?

Hi there, There is a lot more to this question which probably goes outside of Q&A, but here are a few points on the links that you've shared: The blog posts don't appear to be written by real authors, they appear to be blogs that are made just to link to Results Plan, so while they may pass some link equity, I'm not sure that they are going to be seen by Google as high quality The anchor text used on all links is clearly keyword driven. This in itself isn't necessarily a big problem (the whole link profile would need looking at to assess that) but again, it implies that the blogs are built just for link building purposes The blogs don't appear to be getting much engagement such as social shares and comments which indicates that they may not get a lot of traffic, so you're also unlikely to get real traffic clicking through to the website Overall, as I said, more work would be needed to make a full assessment, but looking at these sample links, I'm not sure I'd be recommending building lots of links like this. Hope that helps. Paddy

I absolutely agree with what Chris stated about guest blogging. I would say also, that branching out and submitting either article ideas or actual articles where relevant in the publishing sphere could also be a beneficial strategy to enhance your link building content efforts. I know larger publishing sites like the Huffington Post allow for freelance submissions.

Hi, Depending on how long ago the links were added, you might need to wait a bit before you start seeing links in tools. Also, I would try Majestic and Ahrefs to check for links since not every link gets picked up by one tool. Using Ahrefs I can see a pickup in links pointing to your domain recently. Another place to look would be Google Search Console under "links pointing to my site". Oh and in regards to your second question, always check your main domain (it looks like for you it's the www version, non-secured). Hope that helps!
