RE: Keyword rank tracking across subdomains
Hi,
Treat subdomains as a separate site across your Google accounts as well as Moz tracking.

RE: Using copy from a current site on a new one
By all means, use the copy especially if you're ranking well for it. I'd recommend:
- Creating 301s
- Updating the robots.txt file, after Go Live with the Disallow / command
- If you have access to the old version of GSC then you can repoint the whole domain over - old to new URL

RE: Our Sites Organic Traffic Went Down Significantly After The June Core Algorithm Update, What Can I Do?
Hi,
What's the URL & What keywords are you tracking?
-
RE: SPAMMY links to my search results page
So you have spammy links for 7K unique URLs? Ask whoever manages your GSC account to grant you higher access as this shouldn't be an issue.

RE: Splitting an expression or not ?
I tend to get better results with exact match phrases, so in this instance keep the "Alsace bike tour " as on phrase if possible

RE: Our Sites Organic Traffic Went Down Significantly After The June Core Algorithm Update, What Can I Do?
Hi there,
What efforts have you made to date?
Have you audited the site in more detail?
- Where the drops occurred via Search Console?
- What keywords dropped the most & when
- Audited your website to see if there are any technical issue?
- Conducted a backlink audit - do you acquire backlinks
You appear to lack the basics such as:
- meta-data
- alt tags
- substantial content, possibly due to the lack of a content strategy
25% by the end of the month doesn't sound realistic, an external agency probably won;t turn anything around in less than a few months.

RE: A number of times you should use your keyword in a guest blog
Whatever works for you, at times some calculation of keyword density may be required to avoid overuse.

RE: Will deindexing a subdomain negate the benefit of backlinks leading to that subdomain?
I'd say no as subdomain would appear to Search Engines as another, completely different website.

RE: Google My Business for Municipalities?
Hello Paul,
I'd imagine that Google applies the same rules worldwide assuming that the municipalities are governed in a similar manner. I would set up the municipality as one would a business.
I've also Googled "City of Lakewood WA", no fire-related images to report as per my screenshot, I searched in incognito mode also

RE: A number of times you should use your keyword in a guest blog
The quality of the copy is more important than the number of times that the keyword is used, I aim for a 3% keyword density; regardless of the purpose of the copy.

RE: Point of diminishing returns for keyword research?
Generally use as many keywords as you can, as long as it's relevant to the business & meets searcher intent. Also factor in search volumes & competitiveness too.

RE: Will deindexing a subdomain negate the benefit of backlinks leading to that subdomain?
Hello,
Create 301 redirects prior to deindexing, that way you won't lose anything.
