Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Keri

When you click on Moz (red box in attached image) it is linked to wikipedia. I don't think it has to do with site/folder name in places of URLs.

Hi Amelia,

Are you sure that particular knowledge graph feature shows up because of a breadcrumb rich snippet?

Thanks

Hi Gianluca,

So one of my clients has a wikipedia page and I am wondering where in GWT do you ask for this knowledge graph feature?

Thanks

Hi Mozzers!

What is the process for getting this Wikipedia Branded name appearing next to your organic results (image)?

Thanks mozzers!

Hi mozzers,

Me and my team are having a major website refresh and update for one of our client's. The structure of the website can be divided into 2 types of pages: corporate pages(representing the core services of the company which rank nationally) and microsite pages(representing each and every 30+ franchise locations ranking locally).

Right now when you visit the Seattle microsite page you have localization feel but the main nav(of corporate site) remains at the top on top of the subnav(orange under map) which is customized for the location where you are in. My colleague who is the main person in charge of this website update would like to create a better localization experience for users in specific cities by having one main navigation instead of 2 displaying exactly the same pages displayed on the actual subnav (actual microsite)  (images are below of actual and potential look of the website). FYI: URLs will remain the same.

I really like this idea of a more personalized experience but I am afraid that the local seo strategy we have done so far may be jeopardized because of this new design but i am not sure.  Am I right? Are we going to lose national and/or local rankings? Will this fresh design hurt the SEO we have been doing for the past few years?

It would be great to provide me "best practice" tips to follow for this case as far as what are the steps I should be paying attention...

Thank you guys!

Thank you guys for your contributions! Much appreciated!

Hi mozzers,

I wanted to know if this type of navigation SEO friendly. Is it better than the regular drop down menu navigation?

Thanks!

Thank you Guys for all of your responses!

Hi Mozzers,

I have a client who serves the entire San Francisco bay area but has only one physical location.

He  asked me if he should get different addresses by renting out offices in different cities so he could use that for a better localization of his business.

Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you Federico!

Thanks Federico!

Do you think that this error would prevent the rich snippet from showing up in the SERP? Because before I implement code into the page I tested the snippet on http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets an no errors was showing up!

Other question: since this video is a youtube video do I have to add a video sitemap line in the robots.txt or not?

Thanks!

Hi

I am using a Video snippet and this error was generated about the duration tag. Can someone tell me how to fix it? and will this error prevent snippet to work on the sear results?

Thanks Mozzers!

Thank you John for your help!

Hey John,

So how can I judge if there is a CSS problem? Should I go through all the CSS code? Can you give me an example. A screenshot would help.

Thanks!

Thanks Jeff!

Thank You Tim!

Do you know if it tracks kws for mobile version as well. I am asking because I have a client who has a desktop version of website and m.example.com version and somehow the mobile one doesn't show any kw rankings?

Thanks

Hey John,

I realized I never answered you sorry about that! Thanks for the help!

One quick question though: "If you want to see how a page looks to search bots, view the source of the page, don't disable the CSS."

View page of the source and identify what exactly?

Thanks John!

Hi mozzers,

I have a client that recorded 7 errors when generating Xml sitemap. One of the errors appear to be coming from partial urls and apparently I would need to exclude them from sitemap. What are they exactly and why would they cause an error in the sitemap.

Thanks!

Hi Mozzers,

We are running ads for a client and we're using unbounce for landing page creation. Google Adwords is the main ad platform we are using right now.

When you click on the ad you land on a subdomain (subdomain.Sitename.com) and you can click on Apply which lands on the form Page of the client's site(www.sitename.com).

The campaign has been auto tagged but haven't seen any data which is probably because of the subdomain unbounce page.

Do you think there is a way to track unbounce via auto tagging or my only solution will be setting up manual tagging?

Thanks

Hi Christy,

Unfortunately not!
