Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I realized that we are missing a suite number. It is not on the website or the recently updated Google/Bing/Yahoo revisions I did.

Should I go and fix?

Or should I go and adjust old listings.

Does a suite number matter in the NAP?

I like that every week I can go into my campaign and see how I did.

If I want to keep tabs (reports) every week and continuous record keeping how would I do that?

For example, I want to see how we did last month on a particular keyword, should I set up to run a report every week for that keyword and have it emailed to me. Is that the only way to do that or does Moz keep previous history somewhere else?

Thanks.

PS Another website I help out on recently had a huge jump in pageviews this month. I don't track them in SEOMOZ currently is there anyway to figure out where that traffic is coming from? I am guessing perhaps they moved up in Google. Is there a way to see previous history? i.e. they are 33 last month for a certain keyword?

Boy the thought has crossed my mind that the number for verification might get tagged. Going to have to start creating Skype accounts or something?

I am realizing that most directory and listings have our old phone number down for our website. And am working on fixing them all.

In the interim would it be wise to go ahead and list the old number somewhere on the site (like below the old one on the contact page) or would that create more strings to cut later?

Robert, how does she handle when they want to call to the business to verify?

Is there a work around? I find that to be the most difficult part. Getting the owner to answer and then write down the code, etc.

Thanks for your input.

Hi there we have a new client who moved their offices.

They have created many new listings but they still have some old listings out there that need to be deleted with the old address. And also update some old listings with the new address.

Question, what would be the approach for this?

Use a third party like Yext?  Is there something cheaper than $400 per client?

Or do it myself?

I already started running into issues, the Yahoo wouldn't let me claim it, I can foresee some issues. For example I am sure Citygrid will do what they have done to other client.Trying to upsale my client instead of just changing their address when they call to verify.

PS How many hours would you allot for a project like this?

Thanks for the input.

Mission Possible? Here is a test. Suppose you had 3 hours (okay 7) to go and submit links, etc, on Social Bookmarking, Local Search Engines and Directories, which top 5 or more of each would you do? (Assuming your on-page is already sweetened).

I just got 2 more clients and I need to get started on a few things for each.

Thankful for all your advice.............

Which one should i do? A little confused here..

This would be for small biz contractors/ hvac, painters, etc. trying to rank for Local SEO.

Spoke with our web designer. Whoops, apparently it might have been a plugin that forced the site to lose the www.

We have gone back to the www. Thanks for your responses.

Working on SEO for client who is at a new address. Luckily? there are no google reviews attached to the old addresses (there 2).

Should I try to update one of the old ones? Or should I just go ahead and create a new listing?

What are the pros and cons of each decision.

Thanks for your answer Adam.

Well we will have the main number but then we are also running a performance based model with a new number.

Which number should I promote?

In my learning about Local SEO recently, I keep reading the importance of NAP (name, address, phone number).

But what if you are only using different phone numbers because you are tracking pay per call.

How would set up my Local SEO strategy?

The newest phone numbers are NOT going to match all the websites, social media and previous listing in directories, etc.

Is this a bad move?

Should I suggest that we do one or the other going forward with other clients but not both?

Thanks a lot...

My website is wildbirdfeeders.com however so far everywhere I link to it, I use www.wildbirdfeeders.com.

There is a 301 set up to always redirect you so you always land at wildbirdfeeders.com

Question. Is this okay to have this set up this way? Am I hurting myself?

Also should I do link building using the url wildbirdfeeders.com or www.wildbirdfeeders.com?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Sure. Out of 3 address, only one is where the biz is actually located, but the biz travels to customer homes for the work, they are landscaping company. It doesn't really matter where I promote trying to figure out what's best.

So the other 2 addresses are not actual (one is a UPS store/Suite# in town, the other is his home).

It's the suburbs,so the addresses are only 10-20 miles apart.

I guess that is the question, since this is such a  competitive keyword, am I diluting my work by having 3 addresses?

My client's small biz is going after a highly competitive keyword phrase for a medium sized city.

Question. Currently has 3 biz addresses. The oldest is farthest away from Geographic location we are now targeting.

1)Would I be best served to change all listings to newest address

2. Or 2nd most common address and 2nd closest to geo-area

3. Go with farthest but most established address which has been address listed on website for the past year. Domain name has been owned for a couple of years.

When I look in getlisted.org oldest and farthest address most established has 55% completed, 2nd farthest is 23% and of course newest and latest but in-town is 0%.

Thanks for ideas!
