Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Assuming it's a relevant video, is having a video on your landing page considered a good SEO tactic in and of itself? Meaning, when google crawls the page, will they say "good job, there's a video here."

Or is having a video on your landing page something that helps you improve on other ranking factors like increased time on site? So, it would not be the video itself google "likes" but rather the increased User Experience factors that went up.

(Crossing my fingers I explained this well enough)

Thanks for any input,

Ruben

Well we have both on our site. Some are pictures of hand written notes, and others are screenshots of reviews from places like google + and avvo. So, I can do either.

I read about using schema or h1review to add markup that would get an individual person's review to show up in organic search, but it was from 2013. I did a few queries for keywords in my area, and none of the results had this. Then I did some queries for generic things like "best pizza in Tampa" and "coffee in tampa" and they didn't have it either. So, is this still something that can be done or not?

• I do see it when a review site like yelp comes up or in ads, but I'm specifically talking about organic search results from our website.

Thanks,

Ruben

We have an old unverified listing that has our information on it, but we can't get it off google. I told them months ago it was closed, and it is marked as closed in Google...but it still shows up. Moz Local is telling me this is an inconsistency that hurts our local rankings. I went to delete the page from our Google Business/Place, but if I did that, the warning said that I would just not have access to the page, and that the listing would still show up on google.

How do I permanently get rid of those thing, so it's not longer an inconsistent listing?

• Ruben

Actually, that was very helpful. Thank you.

We have six 5 star reviews for our Tampa office...but for some reason, our rating is a 4.8. Why is that? And, more importantly, how do I get it fixed?

I'd start with two questions. First, is your market for locals or is your market for tourists? Then, I would ask "is my market more likely to click through to the wine tours from the wine section or the travel section?"

Without any data, just my instinct, if you're market is for tourists, then I would put the wine tours under the travel page. I'm a tourist, I need travel info, while I'm on the travel page, oh look, there's a wine tour. I'd like to do that while I'm there. However, if I am local, I might not ever visit the travel page. Why would I? I live there, but I would check out the wine page. Then, I might want to go on a tour.

So figure out who your target demographic is, what's most likely to appeal to them and base the page position on that.

Best,

Ruben

Thanks for insights!

I was comparing sites with a friend of mine, and I have a higher PageSpeed Insights score for mobile and desktop than he does, but he his google analytics has his page load speed higher than. So assuming all things equal, some quality of conent, links, etc, is it better to have a site with a higher PageSpeed score or faster site load? To me, it makes more sense for it to be the latter, but if that's true, what's the point of the PageSpeed insights?

Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

I have hardly any facebook data, because Moz constantly needs me to reauthorize it. It's extremely annoying, but I wanted to make sure this is a Moz error and not a user error. Is it just me or do other people have to keep doing this as well?

Thanks,

Ruben

Thanks, Thomas!

Actually, I have a quick follow up. In my wp-admin in the editor section, I only see CSS and PHP files. Then, on the ftp, I see a public_html folder, but that folder has a ton of different files in it...none of which end in html. Any suggestions on where this html file might live?

Thanks,

Ruben

I will take a look at it. Yes, I do need to do it on our Wordpress site as well, but fortunately, Page Speed Insights doesn't think our desktop version is as abysmal as our mobile one. But, it does still show up as something that should be fixed.

Thanks for the reference material!

We don't have a responsive design site yet, and our mobile site is built through Dudamobile. I know it's not the best, but I'm trying to do whatever we can until we get around to redesigning it. Is there anything I can do about the following Page Speed Insight errors or are they just a function of using Dudamobile?

Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content

Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 5 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

• http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js
• http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ckage.min.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04
• http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…pts/blogs.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04

Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

• http://fonts.googleapis.com/…:400|Great+Vibes|Signika:400,300,600,700
• http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ont-pack.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04

Thanks for any tips,

Ruben

Yup, cache on the backend...ah, I should have known that one!

Thank you both; I greatly appreciate it!

• Ruben

I changed our homepage banner image, and the change shows up if I'm logged into site (it's a WP site). However, when I log out of WP and go to the site, the change doesn't display. I've cleared the cache's, tried different browsers and on different devices, but it only shows the updated version when I'm logged in.

Why would that be? And, how can I "force" it to update?

Thanks so much!

Ruben

Attached is what it is supposed to display.

It doesn't work like it did in the past, and google has made all sorts of statements about being more "brand" focused, like say Zappos.com as opposed to shoes.com. I still see EMD's ranking well across the board, but there are a number of reasons for that beyond just the name. And, even still, they don't dominate the way they did years ago.

At least, that's what I have observed.

Hi Miriam,

Here is a screenshot. It may not look all the terrible, but Hollywood Hills is nowhere near us (other side of the state), and we've never had anything close to that phone number. It says a bunch of stuff in addition to the screenshot, but the rest of the stuff is just a boilerplate "how to contact us to get this changed" message.

Those are very good points. Thanks Lewis!

As always, thanks everyone!
