RE: Shutting Down a Domain that Has Multiple Office Location Pages that will be Rebranded
Hi there.
I'd look at how much traffic those pages get organically. If nobody lands on them directly, then you can actually drop the redirects whatsoever. However, just in case, and if there is some organic traffic to those pages, then yes, I'd do 301 redirect to matching location pages on new website.
Also I think it'd be good UX, if you have some kinda way to tell users that they haven't been redirected by mistake to completely different company. So, maybe popup or something saying "You're in right place! We have a new name! Welcome to NAME company!"
Hope this helps

RE: Any possibility to track goal completions/conversions at a sub-page (non-landing page) level in Google Analytics?
Actually, have you looked into reverse goal path? if it takes a user less than three pages to visit to complete that goal, then you gonna see it there.
If you do use campaign tracking parameters, then you'd need to add parameter to main index link only. About destination goal - is the type of goal destination type? Otherwise it won't be accurate at all.

RE: Google Search Console- Can you see what keywords were typed in to show the page result?
Hi there.
On September 16th of this year Google stopped providing organic keyword traffic data. That's why you can't find what you're looking for. I think. https://plus.google.com/+ZinebAitBahajji/posts/b2zPb4B2aBU
That's why in your MOZ campaign traffic share per landing page is now estimated by using SERPs. https://moz.com/help/guides/search-overview/traffic-from-search#more-help

RE: Any possibility to track goal completions/conversions at a sub-page (non-landing page) level in Google Analytics?
Hi there.
So, you want to see how many people converted by clicking on "ad" on home page?
If so, use campaign tracking. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en
Add parameters to url from index page, then you would be able to go to GA campaigns section and see all the data you need.
P.S. if you have your goals setup as destination types, then you can use goal funnels.

RE: Could I optimize my homepage anymore ?
Hi there.
Also look at optimizing loading times. It tells me about 4 seconds with no throttling to onload event and more than 14 seconds(!) till full page load. I assume that on mobile devices that time will be at least double. No bueno for users.

RE: Excellent performance in BING, terrible performance in GOOGLE
Well, what you're saying is not true.
Example: if I search for "tree" the first result is not tree.com, because tree is a very generic phrase and tree.com doesn't have huge brand. However, if I look for "apple" apple.com comes up number 1, due to brand associativity.
So, taobao is pretty generic word and, apparently, your brand is not big enough to overtake it. This is proved by category pages ranking high. Therefore invest in brand awareness and exposure.
As for Google "punishing" - i don't think so, because if you had some kinda penalty, it would be for domain, not for certain query. Basically, you wouldn't be rankings anywhere for anything.
Cheers.

RE: Subpages and Title tags
Hi there.
Of course they would have the same title tag, description etc. It's the same page, pretty much. You just change content, based on parameters (?page=1 etc).
What you need to do is either explicitly somewhere create rule, which will change title tags, depending on query parameters or restructure your website, so each of those pages actually has it's own url like

The problem would be misconfigured SSL.
There was same q&a here: https://moz.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error
Read that, see if it answers your question

RE: Excellent performance in BING, terrible performance in GOOGLE
Hi there.
Bing, Yahoo and Google have completely different algorithms. It's quite easy to rank in first two, comparing to Google. Now, since the algorithms are so different, it's very hard to optimize for all engines at ones. I have many clients who rank in top 3-5 on yahoo, but nowhere in Google. The thing is that traffic share brought from non-google engines is so little, even when the rankings are great, that we pay very little attention to optimizing for those engines. Usually, if you can get good rankings on Google, good/fair rankings in other engines will follow.
So, you shouldn't really compare Bing and Google. "Forget" about Bing and start working on optimizations in Google without comparing to anything, because, most likely when Google rankings start growing, Bing rankings will go down, especially in the beginning of optimization journey. Of course, if most of your organic traffic brought from non-google engines and you don't think that it would change, even after good rankings in Google, then maybe you shouldn't be optimizing for Google (very strange feeling when I was typing it).
Hope this helps

RE: Multilingual SEO subdirectories structure
No problem.
Consider .nl as main domain as well.

RE: Multilingual SEO subdirectories structure
I say go with your main language on main domain. So, in your case it'd be Dutch.
Personally, since you really want Dutch to be main one, I'd have yourdomain.nl as main domain and then put different language versions in subfolders. Of course, it'll depend on current rankings, links and so on.

RE: Multilingual SEO subdirectories structure
Well, I would have an international version (usually english) on main domain and then put other languages into subdirectories.
There are lots of good content about international SEO in MOZ community - https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=moz%20international%20seo
You might wanna check those out, see what people say. You'll most likely find useful info

RE: Multilingual SEO subdirectories structure
Why is it an issue? That would do exactly what you're asking for (as far as i understand). It would let crawlers to see that domain is indeed existent, they can touch it, taste it and so on. But it won't be in google SERPs. At the same time you still can have JS, htaccess rules or whatever to redirect to proper subdirectory based on locale.

Sorry, i meant noindex follow.

RE: Multilingual SEO subdirectories structure
Hello, my friend.
Well, even though the way you want to do it is a bit strange, the answer is to use meta robots. noindex follow. It needs to be in head tag like so:
<title>...</title> -

RE: Organic Listings showing Google Tag Manager + Google Page Title...?
Hi there.
Google reserves the right to use whatever they think is best description the page/company in a title. Yes, they most often use title tag, but not always. If, for whatever reason, they think that title tag is not matching enough what the page is about, they can show something different.
Also, as you said, since you removed "Limited", it might take some time for Google to "realize" that.

RE: Google+ and youTube
uhmmm.. I would disagree. There is always a problem with duplicate anything. At least from user perspective. Would you hate to "have choice", but there is actually no choice?
Also, google goes use G+ pages for creating knowledge graphs. So, if there is a duplicate, it might not know which one to use for grabbing that data.
