Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I guess it depends on how you do it, and what it is you're promoting. I'm no PR expert (in the slightest), but one method I personally find effective is to write a press release that could easily be published as a blog post "as is" with different promo images attached. I will not publish this on any of my own platforms.

I will then hunt down and make a list of websites, bloggers, vloggers, etc, that are relevant to what I'm trying to promote. Then send them each personalised email attaching the PDF and images. I've found it a good way of getting it out there in front of the right audience and getting backlinks from relevant websites (especially when run with some sort of incentive like a competition). Many bloggers will thankfully re-write the original press release anyway.

Oh yeah, definitely then. If it's gone through previous owners, there's bound to be a few links still pointing at your domain out there on the web. Even when a domain isn't currently under ownership, it still retains some of that authority it gained from when its website was still live. That's why so many people pay more for previously owned domains with lots of backlinks; they don't have to start from scratch.

I never received my tweet from Roger either, although I did get my awesome Moz t-shirt! The funny thing is when I posted a cheeky tweet to @Moz prompting for my tweet from Roger, they Liked it but still no tweet XD

I've only had good experiences from this. It's an opportunity for user-generated content that keeps the page "fresh" (with natural usage of the products keywords) for Google. And the reviews themselves provide customers with a trust factor for the product which can encourage more sales on the page.

Pinterest links weren't always nofollow, and the links that were created at that time remain to be followed even now. Doesn't really answer your question, but thought it would be worth sharing since description links only went nofollow about 4 years ago.

Unfortunately, editing the followed links results in the link no longer being followed. Tried that. If the image gets repinned, the repin won't be followed either.

If your site was only launched a month ago, I'd wait a little longer before freaking out. Mozscape doesn't update too frequently. It was last updated March 9th, with next update due April 10th. It might just be that Moz hasn't had a chance to crawl these new links to your site.

DA is a good indicator but is not the be-all and end-all of metrics. If your site is increasing in traffic/rankings/conversions, then you know you're on the right track.

This is apparently on Moz's "To Do List", due to the high number of requests they've received for this feature. Multiseat is still a super new feature, so I expect (hopefully!) with time more multiseat settings will be made available. But they have stated that multiseat permissions on a campaign-by-campaign basis is something that they are working on.

Doesn't seem to be a way yet as it's still in early stages. But many users have requested this feature, and I've read that they plan on adding it soon. Fingers crossed very soon!!

Hi guys,

This seems to be quite common (especially now with "hotdesking" becoming increasingly popular), but I've never had to do local SEO for a business like this before so was just wondering on best practice for a business who shares the same brick-and-mortar location with multiple other businesses.

For Google My Business verification, it does seem you just have to get there first. With Google unverifying the first account tied to that address if you attempt to verify another - I don't want to do this, due to the relationship between my client and the verified business in question.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input, Dan. I won't be using slashes but I was curious as to how they would work with Google.

The category page I had in mind at the time, I had just merged the multiple subcategory pages into the one main category due to cannibalisation evident in rankings (and I was experimenting with how to optimise browser title for previous subcategory-related keywords). The single page is already outperforming the separate pages, but thanks for your suggestion

I've been wondering about this too. I may be wrong, but I feel as if it's contextual. For example, on many event listing websites they use event schema. Which will mark up the event details as well as the organiser details. This uses schema for the organiser and venue's business addresses, phone numbers and website, etc. This is the correct way of marking up events and the rich snippets display correctly on Google. As long as the NAP is under Organization or whatever (which lists the business' name) and you make it clear that it isn't your organisation, I assume it's fine.

From the Billing & Subscription page (https://moz.com/subscriptions), on your Subscription Summary, you should see a list of "Subscriptions you manage".

On that page for each subscription, you have the options to "Manage Seats", "View & Change Plan" and "Cancel Subscription".

Unfortunately, Moz's On Page Grader guide (https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/on-page-grader) doesn't discuss the contributing factors in much detail. But if you go into your Moz Analytics and click on the landing page in question in the On Page Grader, it shows you where you're lacking on all their contributing factors. Broad Keyword Use in Page Title is of "critical importance" which isn't too far from reality. But hopefully if you can get all of the other contributing factors sorted, you can at least get your grade increased from an F even if it will never be an A due to the page title.

How many ticks do you have in total? Are all bases covered but the title?

This is great advice, and I will definitely bear it in mind for similar situations in future. Unfortunately, for this particular business there are no dedicated "suites" as such. It seems like it's a clinic version of hot desking, with multiple doctors each running their own private business occupying the available clinic rooms within the building.

I appreciate it's quite a specific SEO dilemma, but I'm sure it must affect other industries. Especially now with the growing start-up generation. Even recently I visited an "enterprise hub" where businesses were able to use the address as their listed address whilst renting "hot desks" or "hot suites" by the day, changing desk or suite on a daily basis to whichever in the building is available. I wonder what _their _local SEO strategy looks like....

Haha, I think the train passed the station on that one. I would have realised eventually... XD

Thanks for your help!

I think listing items in bullet points will be less spammy as they are marked up as list items. You can format them how you like, however, such as in multiple columns - so that they're not so ugly looking on the page, and won't look so... vertical? e.g. 3 columns of 10 rows, 5 columns of 6, etc.

And I would focus the page titles on wider areas site-wide, if it were me.

This is quite common when Google feels that the specified title and meta description isn't as relevant to the search query (or if they feel that your title and meta description is misleading and irrelevant to the page content). So although it might show your title and meta description for the majority of search queries, they might decide that they can do better and provide a more relevant title and meta description based on the user's search query. Unfortunately when it comes to this, you can't win them all. The important thing is to make sure that your title is optimised and relevant to the content that's on the page as much as possible, and that your meta description is both enticing to the user and also relevant to the content of the page. I've found that, although Google no longer use the meta description as a ranking factor, it's still important to get a couple of your page's keywords in there just to prove relevance.

Hi Ruben,

In Moz Analytics, to get the rankings of a specific date you could download the entire historical keyword rankings CSV and grab what you need from there. To do this, all you have to do is click on "Rankings History CSV" next to your Tracked Keywords Overview on the Rankings page, and you'll receive an email containing the CSV file.

There are so many factors to consider:

• The website you're blogging on:

• Quality

• Relevance

• Authority

• Your guest post itself:

• Quality

• Relevance

• Other outbound links

• The link to your website:

• Anchor text

• The page it's going to

Those are the basics of the basics, but just to get you looking at link building in a better way. But the drop in traffic isn't necessarily attributed to the link building you've been doing either, and you need to take a closer look at everything.

The question you should be asking with every link "built" is: **Is anyone actually going to benefit from this link? **Will anyone see it? Does it provide any value to anyone? Would anyone actually click this, and would they be satisfied with the page it takes them to?

If no, then it probably comes across as spammy.

I don't think just specifying a title for an image makes a significant impact at all on its own, but combined with other aspects of image SEO (such as the alt text, the surrounding content and context of the image, filename, etc) helps. Even if a tiny amount. I personally like to include it myself, because why not. If it's relatively effortless, every little helps.
