Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Aloha Robert! Wow great help and response!! This is hugely valuable and I will be sure to be switching up the domain and brand name with many thanks to you Robert. One more quick question concerning Garden Island, we have a newpaper and a few brands here that have Garden Island incorparated to their companies and domain's, would the specificty of www.gardenislandweddingphotographer.com or www.gardenislandweddingphoto.com (Kauai im hoping that engines would indetify or associate garden island to) be enough to have an impact/correlation for "Kauai Wedding Photographer" through engines? I will be sure to give you a shout if anything comes up, and even if everything goes smoothly I will be sure to send a smugmug link where you can download for print a few Kauai scenery photos as a very big thank you for the help! Many thanks again Robert! Aloha, Jon Gibb

I would say the most important is that you only have 1 link and I always say it like this: you need to be listed where you need to be listed. Local sites, wedding sites, where are your competitors? search their URL in Google or using a tool like Moz and find their links. See what you can easily mimic and expand from there. Content & blogging will come and need to be done - but the "in between times" are great for link building. (Or, hire a wedding/photography link builder and do the blogging/content yourself.)

I'm so glad to help, Jon   And that's very kind of you to say you'd hire me - how nice to hear! I'm actually all booked up right now, but we do have a great list on our Moz Local Search Ranking Factors 2015 survey of widely-recognized local SEO experts, should that need arise. If you look in the Contributors box on the right of that page, nearly all of the participants run or work at Local Search Marketing firms and all are recognized experts. Might be something to keep in mind if you need extra help when you've done all you can on your own.

Jon and Don - I'm having the same problem with my squarespace site at www.headwalldigital.com. Just curious if you found any updates or workarounds? I'd love to be able to use the Moz analysis tools on my own site, as it was the main reason I signed up. Thanks! Lauren
