Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Miriam,

Thanks for your reply! I'm just looking at Moz and Yext reports and seeing that one of the locations is considered to be "wrong" information. That's what confuses me a lot.

Thank you!

Is this better than updating my .htaccess file? Could you explain me please why the second one, with DA of 1 and that doesn't even exist (you cannot access it) is considered to be a duplicate?

http://yourappliancerepairla.com/index.html (DA 1)

Thank you!

Hello,

I am a bit puzzled since the company I'm working with has recently opened a new location. The company's first location is listed in all local directories. Could you please advise me what to do to make  2 locations visible and not to mess up with keeping same NAP all over the web? Most directories do not simply have the option to add another location.

I had to open a brand new Google Business page for the second location (while using the same name brand). I suppose I am getting into trouble with this?

Hello,

I recently solved www / no www duplicate issue for my website, but now I am in trouble with duplicate content again. This time something that I cannot understand happens: In Crawl Issues Report, I received  Duplicate Page Content for

http://yourappliancerepairla.com (DA 19)

http://yourappliancerepairla.com/index.html (DA 1)

Could you please help me figure out what is happenning here? By default, index.html is being loaded, but this is the only index.html I have in the folder. And it looks like the crawler sees two different pages with different DA... What should I do to handle this issue?

It was 5, and now it is 1. I am wondering what might have affected it at all? I have a service request form on my website, people used to fill it in, and now I don't get any inquiries at all. Yet I've been doing SEO for three months: I've build backlinks, my social accounts are active, I've optimized titles, meta descriptions, IMG Alts, and website content. Could you please tell me what might have gone wrong?

Hello,

Could you please let me know why might my website's DA have fallen down in merely a week? What might be a reason? I also noticed traffic from google dropped down at the very same week. Will be very thankful for any advise!

Hello,

I read that Google can "read" in all directions a while ago. Does this mean that keyword quires "Santa Monica appliance repair" and "appliance repair Santa Monica" are the same? Would you track both of them, or tracking only one would be enough? Thank you!

Sure, thank you very much!

Hi there! I am trying to figure out what the ideal number of my queries per copy (400 words) would be. My queries are:

lg dryer repair (volume search: 851-1k)
lg washer repair (volume search: 851-1k)
lg appliance repair (volume search: 851-1k)
lg repair service (volume search: 501-850)
lg washing machine repair (volume search: 501-850)
lg dishwasher repair (volume search: 201-500)
lg appliance repair (volume search: 851-1k)

How many times do you think I might use each of those quires? Is there any algorithm to figure that out? I would appreciate very much any thought you could share with me.

I have, their backlink profile is same way spammy. They use some black hat SEO methods like building a link providing wrong information. Here they used wrong zip code since business located in California are not being accepted by this marketplace: (http://www2.ljworld.com/marketplace/businesses/ez-appliance-repair/contact/)

They have 5 follow links and 22 no-follow completely irrelevant links (like those ones you acquire by posting a blog comment with a link to your company website). Nothing really impressive.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you very much for your response! Please take a look at my competitor's page: http://www.ez-appliancerepair.com/viking-appliance-repair-service
They have way more no sense sentences, but ranked #4 for the same keyword. They are really quite spammy at the same time. How come they benefit from spamming the keyword? Why doesn't Google see it?

Hi! I just got ranking results for the past week, and I am a little bit confused about what I saw. Two weeks ago, I optimized one of my website's page for the keyword "viking appliance repair in Los Angeles" (was #43 before), and one week later I found it on the second page of Google (ranked #21). I continued working on other pages thinking that all I need to do for  "viking appliance repair in Los Angeles" to get it ranked even higher is to gain high quality inbound links. But for some reason updated ranking results I got today show this keyword fell down and now ranked #51. Could you please tell me why that might happened? What affected this keyword performance while I didn't do anything with it in between that much?

Sure, thank you!

That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I would appreciate it very much if you share with me your thoughts on  what domain name I'd better pick out in terms of productive SEO: sirocco-webdesign.com or sirocco-web-design.com? I know hyphens are not good, but second domain looks better, I think.

I guess, geolocation plays a role? I am in the part of Los Angeles where they operate. So, they probably optimized their content this way somehow? I still can not understand why is that their Yelp page that shows up while entering the query, not  the website?

Thank you, will do!

Thanks for your reply, Logan. Why exactly 301 redirect is better than handling this with canonical tags? Canonical tags wouldn't take so much time, would they?

While doing my website crawl, I keep getting the message that I have tons of duplicated pages.
http://example.com/index.php and http://www.example.com/index.php are considered to be the duplicates. As I figured out this one: http://example.com/index.php is a canonical page, and I should point out this one: http://www.example.com/index.php to it. Could you please let me know if I will do a right thing if I put this piece of code into my index.php file?
? Or I should use this one:
