Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In the Moz Search Visibility graph, how are a clients competitor companies calculated? Where is this information gathered from? We add the clients GA account to the campaign, not the competitors.

I recommend that you keep the 2018 page & guide update the copy to reference the new 2019 guide.

Hi there,

Hi there you can update multiple locations to one account - https://support.google.com/business/answer/3370250?hl=en

If you want to create & clean up GMB account for each franchise, then it's going to be a manual, laborious process.

It all depends on how the franchise owner wants to present themselves to the market.

Hi there, what's the URL, please? My first thoughts are that you've been penalised, I can't see why else users dropped by 97%. Not without looking at the site that is

You're welcome, is there an answer please?

Do I need to change the campaign settings?

When will Moz crawl a campaign to determine a sites DA?

Hello,

Look through Google Search Console & see what pages have dropped, compare  March to June 2018, if you could post that report somewhere I can assist you from there.

As Kevin mentioned, did you change the site at all?

Very singular question, yes you can, the city council have done it where I live https://bit.ly/2N8rxkT

Google "recognises" the original source & will rank it higher, this has been the case for some time

Hello Kingalan1,

Looks like you're already improved your Google rankings! Have you checked your traffic sources in Google? To improve your site authority quicker, start a link building campaign.

Waste of money, no SEO value at all

This was tried at my Agency a few months ago, it was a waste of time, in my opinion, unless you're running a News service.

I'd focus on optimising your site & upgrade your hosting solution.

Hi, why not have 2 GMB profiles as they appear to have 2 distinct offerings.

If you must use one GMB profile then I don't see any issues applying 2 different categories, as long as they accurately reflect the company.

Hello Aspirant, recommend using the Moz Link Explorer tool

The simple answer I use in response to my clients is that GTM is for setting up more accurate tracking & Google Search Console (GSC) is for more accurate reporting.

For a more in-depth explanation, Moz has some useful articles

• https://moz.com/blog/an-introduction-to-google-tag-manager
• https://moz.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-the-google-search-console

Also, I recommend that you ask the agencies you're talking to what the track, measure & report on.

Hello Rishi,

Have you made any changes to the site?

DA is a concept proprietary to Moz, it was recently recalibrated which may explain the drop - https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0

They will both rank, but the original page will have the the higher priority.

There are no cons (that I can see) to losing the "/shop-by-department/" folder, the new URL structure you illustrated is better as it offers an opportunity to add pertinent keywords.

Just be sure you have your 301 redirects set up correctly.

To be honest, if it's on Moz don't sweat about the error message about duplicate content, especially since can see it. However if it on GSC, take action.
