Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Howdy.

Hmm.. Hreflang is for telling google that there is the same article/page/post, just in different language. It doesn't really have much to do with actual rankings, unless you already have bunch of duplicate content. Since you said you are separating duplicate content, there shouldn't be any issues (btw, what exactly do you mean by "Separating duplicate content"?).

As for rankings improvements - SEO, links, competitions research etc. Most likely the reason of ranking lower in AU due to AU competition. Or are the competitors who are outranking you in AU are the same as the ones which are not outranking you is US?

Ok, Now I see it. I didn't understand you were searching in News section. And here is the reason why it comes up like that - you are using some type of plugin called "Sailthru Horizon" and you have a title setup there as "How to Find the Best Cannabis Experience and High for You" and author specified as Patrick Bennett. It's very typical for google to pull such info for News section. Basically it's like twitter card. So, try changing the title to longer one.

well, hopefully it will help. Let us know how it goes.

Very weird. Apparently it's not that uncommon. I just wonder how Google decides that it should be shown in different language. People are recommending to ask this on google support forum here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!home Because it's google "fault", not facebook's.

Do make sure that all the targeting, multi-language content, settings etc are all properly setup though.

Hmm.. That is bizarre.. Do you guys have that page set up in different languages?

Howdy.

Post the patient, please

No problem

Ok, so,

1. Low moz trust is quite bad, and, of course, it goes back to backlinks - amount and quality
2. 20 posts is not all links you might have, especially if you use wordpress. There are so many pages for all the subcategories, categories, archives, comments etc. You can check it in SEMRush or SEOFrog on how many pages you have.
3. Ratio is based on current data MOZ has. since they don't have any backlinks in their system yet, that affects your spam score, and it would be fine, if you didn't mention that you have been building links for months. MOZ Scape updates every 30 days or so, therefore if you don't have any changes in backlink amounts after two months of building - ouch.
4. As for permalink - make sure you have proper redirects from old ones. (not saying you don't have proper, just make sure)
5. Read #3 - if links are not in MOZ system after a while from building links, there might be some issues somewhere.

Hope this helps

Howdy. Here are my thoughts.

So, that post's PA is only 1 and DA is 18, spam score is 5 and no backlinks. Hmm.. Ahref's is good, sure, but if you've been building links for several months and there is still no data in moz - you are doiing something wrong. Think of Ahrefs as of all links (bad, good, neutral) and MOZ OSE as "important" links. So, now you you don't have any "important" links. Also high spam score tells me you probably used some yucky backlink building techniques. THerefore, even though the content, density and anchor text is good, backlinks still matter a whole lot.

Now, here is another reason to look into. If you look at results for your query - all domains have very high DA and a lot of backlinks and 0 spam score.

I believe that's your problem.

Hope this helps.

Nobody would be able to tell why exactly your website is not ranking without proper SEO audit. As we all know, Google uses hundreds of ranking signals in their algorithms, so saying "I checked backlinks and on page seo h1,h2,h3" might be a bit undercut

What I would recommend is to have someone do a professional SEO audit for you guys. There are a lot of awesome pals and gals on this forum, who will be able to help you out, myself included

Howdy.

I typically set it up with accordance to this: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/enhance-site

And basically go down the list. So, logo, contact info, breadcrumbs, reviews, sitelinks, social etc. Just follow all the suggestions under "help google present you" section in the left navigation column.

Hope this helps

There is a similar topic here, just about adwords: https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Advanced-Features/Which-is-better-changing-the-destination-URL-or-doing-a-301/td-p/194738

Howdy.

New Urls for sure. The old URLs with 301s will not make it in any way better, just extra step in server jumps. In fact, there might be a rule about not using redirects for landing pages for Google Advertiser Platform.

Howdy.

For me tit comes up without Patrick, like this: "How to Find the Best Cannabis Experience and High for You | Leafly", which matches your page title.

The titles displayed in search are created automatically based on query. The only way to influence it is to have explicitly set <title>tag, which you do. So, if it still shows up with patrick to you, try different browser, in incognito mode. See if it's the same. if it is - post the query you are searching.</p></title>

Howdy.

Well, since all you are doing is updates css and adding pictures, but keeping url, text etc., you won't have any effect (positive or negative) on SEO whatsoever. SInce it's gonna look a bit better, maybe engagement metrics will go up, and it'll improve SEO, but that's a tall story to hope for

Hope this helps.

Howdy.

You need to be more specific. "my website is strong have good seo" is quite objective. Tell us what you've done, what haven't done, why you think you should be outranking your competitors etc. Also, search keywords would matter a lot.

No problem

Oh, I see. Yeah, there shouldn't be any problems, if someone else links to your images with http. And yes, your assumption is correct

Absolutely

I did quick search, and there are lots of good articles about why images are not duplicate content: http://bfy.tw/9Qy4
