Yes, you should do it to avoid loss of attribution and many more advantages of HTTPS over Http, as Logan says below.

Hi Adam. The practical tips that I propose below will allow you to adjust the structure of your blog.

First, good practices for the use of the categories:

1. The categories must be able to classify the main topics that are covered in the blog.
2. Create between 5-7 categories.
3. Define the categories at the beginning of the creation of the blog.
4. Index categories.
5. Do not use uncategorized: it is better to create a category of "others".
6. The categories must appear in the main menu or in the sidebar.
7. On the main page of the category includes an explanatory text.
8. The number of posts by categories must be balanced. If you identify that a category contains most of the posts, you may need to divide that category into two (or more).
9. A post can be included in more than one category, but it is not necessary. If we think it can help the user, there is no problem, although you always have to think if it is really necessary and if it will add value. In some cases it will not be necessary, in others, we may discover the need to create another category that better encompasses a main theme.

Then, good practices for the use of tags:

1. It is advisable not to index the tags.
2. It is not necessary to include them in the main menu.
3. Tags should never have the same name as a category.
4. The tags are not meta keywords.
5. Do not create infinite tags. Each tag must have a meaning and be able to encompass several posts. A practical exercise is to think: will I use this tag for more than one post? If the answer is no, it is advisable not to create it.
6. Less is more. Do not include more tags than necessary by post. There is no limit number, but remember that they have to add value.
7. Choose if we work the words in plural or singular.
8. It is also ideal to define the tags when starting the blog. To do it in an orderly way we can define the tags according to the category. But never use the same tags in a category.

And don't forget the URL structure. Its very important too. If a blog is SEO friendly, it is also seen in the structure of its URLs. When you define them, remember to include /category/ or /tag/ in front of the category or tag as in this example:

• http://webname.com/category/food/
• http://webname.com/tag/burguer/

In this way, you will create a healthy structure and avoid possible 404 errors and duplicate content. I hope I've helped.

Hi Sharon. The basic steps are as follows:

1. Purchase an SSL certificate.
2. Perform a full back-up of your site in case you need to revert back.
3. Configure any hard internal links within your website, from HTTP to HTTPS. This show green lock.
4. Redirect any external links you control to HTTPS, such as directory listings.
5. Update htaccess applications, such as Apache Web Server, LiteSpeed, NGinx Config and your internet services manager function (such as Windows Web Server), to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS.
6. Implement 301 redirects on a page-by-page basis.
7. Update any links you use in marketing automation tools, such as email links.
8. Set up an HTTPS site in Google Search Console and Google Analytics. This is very important too.

I think you don't have any problems whith this steps.

Hi Vera.

You can choose to just list the primary number, or to include more numbers. Do you want to channel all calls through one line? Then just include the primary number. If you want to allow your users to directly call the department they’re looking for, then include some secondary.

In any way, I am attaching this link with the terms of google about the phone calls. I do not know if they are the same conditions that you have read.

https://www.google.com/intl/ALL_us/+/policy/call-phones-terms.html

External links are more complicated to achieve. But you can follow the guidelines indicated in the answer above.

For internal links, you can do them yourself. In SEO it is advised that there are not more than 100 links that point to a page, but I have not tried this yet.

In short, make a keyword plan to make internal links in a structured way. It is the best option for SEO.

Hi Gareth.

I think it does not matter if you're connected to google.es or google.co.uk, for this case. Think that to most people, google will ask for your location. In this case I think that what could work for you is to use local seo techniques.

In this link you have an article from the MOZ blog to know how to do it.

You can use the local seo for each city in Spain where there are more inhabitants of the United Kingdom.

What I can count and have contrasted in my web, is that the Javascript in Google is processed differently. Google crawls javascript and also the url inside, while Bing does not.

I think I'm a bit short to answer your question, but that's what I've checked.

It may be that the migration has not been done correctly. Magneto took out a pdf with instructions for successful migration. Have you done this or have you used another manual?

I leave the link with the pdf. I hope I've helped.

Hi!.

You can use MOZ, RSS feed and also IFTTT  to configure the alerts you want. I think you can use them to create backlink alerts. Here is an example at MOZ's Blog:

I can not tell you about Ahrefs, because I do not use it. I hope I could have helped.

Hi Lindsay. I personally use the notes add-on. The design of notes is better than standard posts. They offer more features. Some drawbacks however:

1. They cannot be read on smartphones. More than 50% of your traffic cannot access it
2. You need to prepare your draft on a text editor and then publish it on facebook.

Don't try using the "save and publish later" feature, this one doesn't work.

In addition to the good response of Nicholas White, I would also recommend clearing the web browser's cache.

Hi Barret. I think you can try to change the video thumbnail on YouTube. It would be necessary to access as administrator the account where the video is. Then you would have to do the following steps:

1. Sign in to YouTube.
2. Go to Creator Studio > Video Manager.
3. Next to the video, click Edit.
4. On the left of the preview screen, choose a thumbnail.
5. Click Save changes.

You can try doing another search and see if that forces Google to use the thumbnail.

Hi jcobo.

The HTML tables are very SEO friendly. They are clearly labeled, structured data, simple to parse... Just remember to use for the best SEO practices.

Here a link with the HTML rules https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_thead.asp
