Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Ruben, The Check listing tool updates every few days, so even when the information has been pushed to Foursquare, it can take us a couple days to crawl the appropriate Foursquare page and surface that information to you. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help. Cheers, Ryan Watson J.D. Business Development Manager | Moz

Will do! Thanks.

Hi Ruben, If the one is showing and it's perfectly relevant and has equally good information, then I wouldn't worry about it. But maybe you think you'll get higher rank for that location if that page ranks, and that may be true. So how do you do that? First step I'd try is clean up the copy. In my opinion, it's overly optimized with that EXACT phrase occuring 9 times in a small amount of copy. It's unnatural. You wouldn't speak that way, so why write that way, and why would you want your readers to even see that page then? I think Google shares that sentiment. So write for consumer first, Google second. So what do you write?  I've had success rewriting and reusing the main landing page copy, whether that be the home page, or in your case, the generic personal injury attorney landing page for pages like this. You have to consider that anyone landing on this page, assuming you get it to rank, don't have the benefit of landing on the home page and may never see your personal injury page, so you need enough good information here to get them to call. But you don't want duplicate content, so you have to make it different enough. That can be difficult, I know. How many times can you write basically the same thing? The other option is to provide completely different content and then force them to go elsewhere in search of information about your services. I know that's contrary to logic. It's better to convert them on the spot, but if you can't because your site will have too much duplicate content, or you worry about people landing on this page and it sounding too much like another page they just came from, then make this page very different. But do understand this may be their landing page from the search engine, so be sure to have enough information at the top that tells them they are in the right place and you have what they need. Then fill the rest of the page with geo-specific information that gives you an opportunity to weave your local keywords in. You have an office there. Put your address (with schema code), phone number and map.  Perhaps you also include city-specific information that your Tampa target market might find valuable and relevant, perhaps even ways your attorneys are involved in that community or cases they've fought and won in the community. Finally something I've had success with is thinning out content that seems to be cannibalizing other pages. In your case, you could remove the word Tampa from the page that is currently ranking and link to "Locations" instead. From there link to your city pages. Be careful though. That could have a negative effect. At least you have some rank for that page. You don't want to lose it all, but it could be something to try. But do get that Tampa page in order first. That may be all you need. My 2 cents for what it's forth. Do let us know how it goes!

I didn't think about other sites, but that's a fabulous point. Best to play it safe. Thanks for your input! Ruben

I know it's not any bankruptcy related directories or poor citation building, because we've just started building out for this location a few months ago. And, we've never stressed bankruptcy, but thank you for the suggestions. Those are definitely sold point to consider. It's starting to look like I may just have to delete the other categories, but I worry because, if I do that, I won't have a "complete" profile and that could cost me in google's eyes as well.

Thanks Miriam, I guess we still have about two more weeks before we get there. I'll be excited to see if start to move up at all then. Best, Ruben

Hi guys, Jon Hall from Grade.us here. I stumbled onto this page from Google. Obviously, I'm biased, but I thought I should weigh in at least a little Both Grade.us and GetFiveStars are excellent solutions, and the decision between them will come down to what you're looking for. Grade.us has an exclusive focus on marketers and agencies, and so may not be the best fit for the OP. But those who prefer Grade.us generally value our: - Fexibility:  setup, configure and white-label campaigns on a per-client business - Effectiveness at generating reviews on third-party sites:  create highly efficient, conversion-optimized review funnels targeting review sites like Google and Facebook (as opposed to internal “feedback”) - Pricing:  we’re hard to beat - Crawler-based monitoring:  we have the most comprehensive review monitoring platform in the industry covering not just major but minor and niche sites - Review amplification/SEO tools:  schema-fied "Review Stream" Wordpress/Joomla/Drupal plugin that pulls in your latest and greatest reviews from around the Web into your website as SEO-friendly content and automates sharing them to social media - Advanced, always evolving stuff:  SMS review invites, review email campaign tracking and automation, etc. Hope this helps! I attached a short video demo, too. We're just starting to engage here at Moz, but we're always around to answer questions, demo the product, etc. Jon 152476055

Thanks for the help everyone. I kind of forgot if I'm redirecting it, then there's no problem with the old page. Thanks for the confirmation and the reminder! I appreciate it. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend! Ruben

Google called today! We finally got it squared away. So, it took about 5 weeks for me, in case anyone wants a reference point for later. Thank you all, once again! Have a fantastic weekend, Ruben

It's not a wordpress theme yet, but they are supposed to have one in the next week or so.

I bet content on that topic would be good linkbait.

Alright, thank you all for your time. I appreciate it! Ruben

Always happy to see your questions come in, Ruben!

I think that if that pluggin just gives you a schema markup. Why not just to go to schema.org get the local code and place in your page. With that you would avoid a pluggin instalation that you slow page speed just fot a simple code that you can get on web.

30 days isn't bad. I'm just hoping it's not much longer that. I appreciate you sharing your tests. Best, Ruben

I know you can pay to get listed with Yahoo's Directory, but I didn't know it was fed by Yelp. Thanks for that Dudley!

Thank you for the screen shots, Ruben. At any rate, none of these things should affect NAP consistency, so fortunately, not something to be worried about.

You asked a good question, Ruben. Glad to help.

Wow, okay. Yeah, there they are. Thanks! Ruben

As I mentioned in my Inside YouMoz post, there are even some posts that I would have turned down if they didn't have links. I try to treat links as scholarly citations rather than votes. There's a post right now in the queue that I need to respond to and tell the author that they need to back up some of their statements with links to the source of what they are claiming.
