Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Got it. Will ping a staffer for you. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi there, thanks for your question! Rel=Publisher is for brands, while Rel=Authorship is for people. As the code snippet fork Rel=Publisher should only be placed not the most important page of your site, placing it on the home page is a good choice. As the markup tool is verifying your Publisher setup, I'm assuming you have correctly placed a link on your Google+ brand page back to your site's homepage. Well done.

Yes, the Rel=Authorship code snippet should be placed on all article pages and blog posts --- that have a byline for a particular author, that is. You then need to establish a link from that particular author's individual Google+ profile back to your site. There are a few ways to go about this. Here's one method, straight from the mouth of Google: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2539557?hl=en&ref_topic=2371375. Best of luck!

Hi Sean! I hope you are having a great weekend. Getting down to business, this is a friendly reminder that we don't allow job posting in this forum. Accordingly, I have edited your question and am locking this thread to comments. In your search for a contractor, you may want to check out our list of Recommended Companies, and/or consider posting on Inbound.org's job board.

Thanks for your understanding, and best of luck in your search!

I agree! We'll see what we can do about that, LureCreative.

Hi EGOL,

Specifically, would you like to be able to easily view all questions posted by a specific person in the forum, or questions they have answered (or at least responded to)?

Hi there, thanks for your question! To answer your question directly, Moz would be crawling your old URLs because it is able to find them using internal links and/or your sitemap.

You can verify that Moz is crawling your old URLs --  and even see where they are finding them -- using Moz Analytics. To do this, log into into your Moz Analytics dashboard and go to the Crawl Diagnostics report, located under Search in the LH nav. The Crawl Diagnostics report will list the URLs of pages Moz has identified as duplicate content on the High Priorities tab, and how many internal and external links each of those pages has. To see the URL Moz crawled to find a specific page listed here,  download the CSV file from this tab and look at the column labeled "Referrer".

Please let me know if this answers your question or not, thanks!

Hi there, and thanks for your question! First off, I would like to clarify a couple of things:

1. Are you using Google Apps for email hosting, or are you forwarding your "back office" email address to  info@ourcompany.ni?

2. There are a few ways that gmail can help you use Google+ more successfully. What exactly do you mean by the "Google+ email contact bias"? (I just want to make sure we are on the same page before proceeding.)

Great! Did you sign up for your walkthrough?

Great! And you are quite welcome, EGOL.

Hi James,

I am curious as to why you think there is only one really good way to get good backlinks to an ecommerce site -- and why you don't want to share it in this thread so that other forum members may benefit from it.

Thanks for the clarification, Wouter. Given that information, I would go with info@ourcompany.ni. As it is gmail-hosted (and not forwarded), and the only email address that the public interacts with, it should give you the greatest advantages described in Rand's video -- and any that Google+ may roll out in the future. Best of luck!

Hi  brandonegroup - Have you thought about posting this question in the Magento forums?

Hi Cornelius, in addition to studying everything Miriam Ellis writes about Local SEO on The Moz Blog, I recommend subscribing to Mike Blumenthal's blog and Local University.

Thanks, William! We've actually replaced that thread with http://health.moz.com. It has updated information on this and other trending bugs in Moz Analytics.

Just testing something, folks... please disregard this response!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your question! The fb:admins tag should include the individual Facebook user ID (fbid) for the administrator of your company's Facebook page. If you have multiple admins for your company's Facebook page, make sure that you include each admin's fbid in a separate fb:admins tag. Step-by-step instructions for doing this are available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/platforminsights/domains.

I hope that helps!

Hi Ali M,

Thanks for your question! Yes, you can use the canonical tag to point to the author's website as the original source of the content. Here's everything you need to know about canonical tags: https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization.

Hope that helps,

Hi BeyondIndigo,

I just did a nonpersonalized search in Google-US for Volunteer Veterinary Hospital in Knoxville, and you client came up as the first organic result in the SERPs. My hunch is that you are not ranking for the search terms you are tracking in the tools you mentioned, and you are not tracking the search terms that are actually driving organic search traffic to your client's site.

In order to tell for sure, though, please provide us with more information about the tools you are using, and what, exactly, they are showing you that has led you to believe that your client's site has no presence in Google's search results.

Finally, if your client's site has been verified in Google Search Console, (formerly known as Googlewebmaster Tools), you can see how often the site is showing up in the SERPs, and for what search queries, in the Search Analytics Report.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Christy

Hi Michael! Yes, you are experiencing the issue reported on Moz Health. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. We are working on a fix for this. Please keep checking Moz Health for updates. In the meantime, you can use the workaround detailed on Moz Health. Did you see it? Thanks for your patience!
