Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We haven't but we will definitely try that!

Hi All,

We have a client with a Bing Maps listing with old photos on it that we can't seem to remove. The photos are being populated from other sites like Yelp. The kicker is, we didn't upload the photos to Yelp, a user did. We've messaged the user to please remove the photos and they haven't responded.

Now Yelp won't let us contact the user again and we've already flagged the photos on Yelp weeks ago but they haven't been removed. We don't see a spot to flag them on Bing.

Do you have any recommendations for how to remove these?

Yeah, that's the one! Looking for a way to export that data in bulk so we can aggregate across many similar clients and do not see that functionality. It would be great if it did exist for us to better understand those consumer behaviors and habits!

Thanks!

Our team has been diving into the wealth of knowledge that the Google My Business query functionality has created for us. In an effort to start the conversation on best practices, we're interested to hear how the MOZ community has used this data. Excited to hear how the community is using the data!

Hi Moz Community!

Is it worth keeping business information up to date on the MapQuest platform? It seems that MapQuest popularity is rapidly declining, but there aren't many articles or statistics on it's current user base, nor integrations. Is it still relevant?

Would love to hear thoughts on this topic!

Thank you for sharing that thread!

As we've been refining our metrics for gauging whether or not a blog is effective -- if people are engaging with it -- one of the strategies we've seen (e.g. NYT, WaPo, Yahoo!) is "Read More." I've read a few articles with some who advocate using it and others who discourage it. Does anyone have any history adding "Read More" to their content and the effect it had?

We're looking for a simple way to export all crawl errors for our Moz campaigns. More than likely we could use the API, but was wondering if there was any functionality already built into Moz for exporting all crawl errors.

Hello,

We run Facebook ads for 30+ companies each month. We have not found a way to quickly monitor relevance scores from all our clients in one reporting format. Right now, we're still going into the ad account for each client, then into each ad to check the relevance scores, either in Ads Manager or Power Editor.

Is there a way we can pull up relevance scores from all ads across clients in one fell swoop using Business Manager reporting features?

Hi All,

We manage a number of auto dealer websites which have their new & used inventory listed on them. There's a separate page for new, used, and CPO inventory, and on most web platforms any filtered inventory subpages are canonicalized back to one of the main inventory pages.

Our question is - should we install unique copy on these to-level inventory pages? We're already installing unique meta and H1s and feel like copy could help these rank for more searches but we have a couple hesitations:

1. Most big retailers like Amazon, Zappos, etc don't have copy on these types of pages.
2. Putting the copy above the inventory would distract from shopping behavior, but installing it at the bottom of the page would hurt relevance.

We'd appreciate anyone's insight or past experience here! Is it worth taking the time to write unique copy for these pages?

Thanks everyone.

On the dashboard of our listings, the accuracy is different than when you click on the listing.  For example, one listing says 93% when you look on the dashboard, but when I click on it is says "88%, get it to 99%".  Why is there a difference?

I am working with a website and I ran a Screaming Frog and noticed there are 4,600 301's on the website (www.srishoes.com). It seems like the issue is between the www. and without it and they aren't working together. Is this something that the website provider should update and what type of impact might this have on the site?

Thanks!
Matt

Thanks for the info - and of course always for good and not evil with these types of tools. What I'm hoping to do is just enter a URL, have it scrape the site, and then dump all of the text on the site into a document to put into a keyword density tool to gain perspective on new partner websites for industries where we are entering for the first time. All for SEO, content ideas, learning about value propositions and services as well as for keyword ideas for SEM.

Looks like doing some programming might be the best way to go here - was hoping someone may have already built this kind of functionality!

Thanks again!

I have to respectfully disagree. It's a nice, simple interface, has both national and local relevant information, and to me 88 dollars is not unreasonable to me for the user experience and having it all in one place for Google, Bing and YouTube. It typically gives thousands of long-tail keyword ideas based on those APIs to help build your SEO, paid and content strategies around. We find it extremely helpful and have created great results by incorporating it as a piece of our strategy. Ultimately, it wouldn't be that hard to build the same interface with those APIs, but I would have a hard time calling the 88 dollar subscription for this interface very unreasonable.

We also use Buzzsumo like you mentioned, but more for the social and blogging pieces of our strategy. Definitely another solid tool! Ultimately, to each his own... find something that provides the insight that will help you gain a better perspective of search behavior and build a process around it and you will win.

Cheers,

This is also a cool one visually you might enjoy: http://answerthepublic.com/ - particularly for content.

Cheers!

We really like keywordtool.io, which costs us for our package around $88/mo. It gives Google, Bing & YouTube data and has really helped us out planning for SEO & AdWords competition.

Can anyone recommend an easy to use website or tool (ideally free) to scrape all the visible text from a website to use for SEO/SEM keyword research?

Thanks as always MOZ friends!

We just got this attached image from one of our partners - has anyone seen Google putting 'missing' keywords in SERPs like this before? They said that it was not a plugin or anything and this is a screenshot of their organic search results.

I have recently submitted a sitemap on Google Search Console and it is telling me that the page appears to be an HTML page. However, the URL of this page is website.com/ "sitemap_index.xml" so I am not sure why we are getting this error.

Here is the error: Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to respond in depth, GreenStone. We appreciate the advice and have passed your response along to the web hosting company (along with a frustrated email) explaining they're not adhering to anyone's best practices. Hopefully this will convince them!
