Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Steven, Ryan & Varun are correct in the quote of the Google guidelines. You just want to use the name of the church across all three locations unless the churches officially rename themselves with modifiers. You might need to research this a bit. I've never marketed a church and I'm not sure how they are legally registered. Do they have some form of county registration or license? If so, and they feel that their congregation members may be getting misdirected or confused, they might want to consider officially rebranding the three locations so that their location names are part of the church names. So sorry, but I've only worked with commercial entities and am not sure how churches register themselves in communities. I'd look into this, because I think there may be a legitimate concern here, given that the website doubtless differentiates between the 3 locations in the way they are referring to them, and ideally, you'd like their citations to match that, so that James River Church West Campus is being referred to exactly that way, everywhere on the web. Time to do some research Good luck!

No amount of length is ideal, but make sure your NAP is consistent across all citations. Generally I work with a 200+ character description. I have not seen any ranking differences due to business description length. Also, if I was you I would not out your clients website like that here or anywhere for that matter.

Hi Steven, As Miriam said, there are so many possible reasons at play here, but one point I would like to make: We have higher domain authority than others that rank higher for the term Remember, that DA is a MOZ score and has absolutely no impact on where Google sees you or why someone someone else ranks higher than you. We have a new website that was launch about 3 months ago Have you checked that all 301's and redirects are in place correctly? I am assuming this was a new site design on the existing domain? -Andy

Hi! I'm noticing that the details for this offer it says that it's available only for new clients of SEOmoz, so it's not something that will work with your existing account.
