Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Kevin, As far as I know the domain and content are the same. The site went live March 19. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks, Holly

I would.... put the links in the top nav and place adsense at the top position of the left nav.

You have not provided enough data to give any specific advice ( what niche, links to competitors to see what they are doing ,etc )  but if you are going after local I would have individual product pages targeting those location with Unique Content ( depending on the niche you could target Video, Map and other elements ) . Cross ink internal pages those are relevant Build quality links ( IF you competitors are doing it right , analize their site and try to get links from their sources )

I really wanted to push the content marketing aspect in those slides, but I just want to add that it is a balancing act. Some manual link-building is fine - just make sure you mix in low-quality with high-quality AND make time to create solid content. In other words, just do everything simultaneously. As long as you don't need to eat or sleep, you'll be fine Seriously, carve out the content time, even if it's 20 minutes/day and it's the first thing you do in the morning. That investment will pay off. Waiting until you need content to create it is like only networking after you lose your job. It'll work, eventually, but you'll lose months.

Thanks everyone for your help. We can't host it on our server at the current time, sorry if I was unclear about that. I have been searching and have found that Pagemodo will probably work for us. I'm still deciding. Thanks again!

Yep, bowler hats for sure!

We have lot's of clients with in home businesses. We either list the home address, and then in the places account request that it is not shown, or we encourage an executive office location if in fact they will use it as a place to do business. Having real contact information is not just important to Google , its important to their customers. Our company has been using executive offices for 10 years.  They are a great cost savings, and give us a nice environment to meet clients or hold meetings. Most executive or virtually offices also give you an option of renting an individual office on a short term basis, which we have used many times. Millions of businesses are home based. Google doesn't care if your address is residential or commercial, I think they care that it's listed.  Your client must have an address for  contact for customers that includes email, phone and address on their site.  They should also have it registered with the correct government agencies (the address )  and any valuable business associations in town, like a Better business bureau or Chamber.
