Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think this company's Yelp page shows rating review stars in the organic search because it has really many positive reviews. Looks like they used black hat Yelp optimization though Yelp claims there is no way to do so. What I cannot understand is why E Appliance Repair Yelp page shows up every time I enter mentioned queries... I have another company that implemented successful SEO, http://www.ez-appliancerepair.com. They rank really high for the same keywords, but this is their website that has been heavily optimized. My website is http://www.ifixappliancesla.com, it doesn't perform well at the moment.

Please help me figure out how come E Appliance Repair Yelp page pops out every time I search Google for next keywords: Dacor repair Los Angeles, Miele repair Los Angeles, Sub Zero repair Los Angeles, and others like those? What direction do I need to move in to get close to those results? Any advise will be highly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get "air-conditioner-repair.html" to rank higher for the keyword "air conditioner los angeles". I am wondering whether or not I should change URL to "air-conditioner-los-angeles-repair.html" to get better results? Will be thankful very much for any advise you can offer!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll look for the blog post on this topic for sure.

Thank you for your idea! It haven't even crossed my mind since some time ago I read that .toys, .repair, etc. domains are quite far from competition with .com, .net, and .org.

Thank you very much, that helped a lot!

But I wouldn't be linking back and forth. All I would do is providing my phone number and service request form. Would that be the reason to penalize me?

What do you think Google exactly would penalize in this case? Microsites or my company original website?

Thanks for your reply! Would you agree that AirConditioningRepairHouston.com might not have SEO value at the moment, but if it is optimized for the keyword "air conditioning repair" and has my company contact info, my company would benefit overall? Especially if it has stoverepairhouston.com, refrigeratorrepairhouston.com, etc in its disposal? Or it is considered to be a black hat SEO?

I am doing SEO for an appliance repair company. Their company website's domain doesn't have high authority, and I am going to increase that by link earning and content improving. I think a better domain name might also help me out. The current URL contain the word "appliance" but doesn't have "repair" in it. I am thinking a new domain that would contain both keywords will serve better. Could you please share with me your thought on this? Am I in the right direction, or not at all?

I know Google penalizes mirror sites since this they are considered as duplicated content. I'll upload my content to the new domain and make the old one point to that new URL. I am wondering if canonical might help? Or 301 redirect will be a better solution? Any advise would be highly appreciated! Thank you!
