Nowadays all the CMS are very similar, so you need to check your database/
This is not an official solution but in your case, I will download the database, then open it with a code editor
and search the category that is making a problem look at the code,
and then compare the code with another category that is working ok
What you’re saying with a slider is basically: “I really don’t know which product or picture I should put on display on my homepage, so I’ll just grab 10 of them!” In that case, you really need to add focus. If you don’t know what to choose, how would your visitors or clients?
You should know what your own business is about and what product or picture deserves that front page spotlight.
By focusing on the right (static) image or message, you will give people a far better feel of your business, and you as a person, than a slider ever could. Not in the least because sliders, as we’ve said twice now, are simply ignored in most cases. And a message that’s ignored hardly ever comes across (notice the sarcasm).
There is another reason why we recommend against sliders. Sliders push down your main content, plain and simple. In fact, most sliders we encounter in our consultancy these days, are big enough to fill out any screen. This means the content won’t even be visible above the fold. And this backfires on your SEO efforts, which we’ve already shown through the article linked in the list of findings above.
There’s not a CRO expert that will disagree with us on this: sliders kill your conversions. So simply having a slider on your website, will get you less sales than without that slider! If that’s not a deal breaker, I seriously don’t know what is.
Just combine the two and realize what a monstrosity the slider actually is. It kills your rankings and your conversions!
Can you clarify your question? are you talking about
In that case you depend on the policies of that website.
In my experience I worked with some hotel booking services, and they give some kind of integration with Google Analytics.
So my advice is you should ask to your booking provider about the GA integration
Moz does not have a tool for traffic estimation, Ahrefs, and Semrush already have a traffic calculator, but keep in mind that they are just an estimations not real traffic.
Hi Mishel
1. As Miriam Ellis is saying, there is a problem with the sliders and Im pretty sure that the problem is the ID of Master Slider (probably the shortcode is mistyped). 10 years working with Wordpress told me that
if you have received the message “Invalid slider id. Master Slider ID must be a valid number.”, you might have inserted slider shortcode with wrong slider ID, or after inserting the slider shortcode, you have removed the main slider from the slider list page.
2. The images wouldn't hurt your website as long you optimize the performance of the site, in your looks that you already worked on that. But 3.2 MB of weight looks pretty heavy.
By the way the ALT DESCRIPTION are mandatory mainly for your local seo efforts
The best way to deal with Schemas is using Tag Manager, the first schemas that you will need to focus are the schemas supported by Google ...Why? because will have an impact on your site performance (from SEO perspective).
Website, Local Business, Articles, Breadcrumbs, Site Logos, Social Profile are almost mandatory you can check the complete list ( Also you can as many schemas as you want )
There many ways to insert schemas on your site, and if you use WordPress there are tons of plugins to do it. But in my opinion, those options are difficult to implement I mean there are plugins for recipes, for local and so on. And if you are serious about your project, you will need to keep consistency in the long run. The other option is to insert it manually which is ok if you have a small website with 20 pages but if you have a website with 500 articles and 50 categories .... well manual option will be a nightmare
So that's why I prefer to work with Tag Manager to implement schemas, I create a tag and the repeat and all the pages that I want and also I don't have to worry of the plugin support
Good Luck
So in that case you have other options but is a little bit complex, require some knowledge of javascript and tag manager.
This is just a simple diagram not a complete solution, I'm pretty sure that can work because I did in the past, but as I mention require some knowledge, if you are a developer will not represent a big deal for you.
Options available
Rebuild your content not your blog/website so you need to check
Does someone have any ideas as to how Moz is treating capitalized keywords differently from the lower case?
Start with some good local keyword data
Before you start, make sure you are setup for success by doing some preliminary keyword research in your niche.
This tool can help you
http://www.localmarketingsource.com/local-keyword-research-tool/
Check your analytics and see what keywords are already bringing traffic. There may be opportunities to increase your visibility on something that's already preforming.
Make sure that you always focus on converting keywords that provide the searcher with the proper intent.
Anothers keyword tools:
Wordtracker
SEO Book Keyword Tool
Ubersuggest
Keyword Eye
SEMrush
Other option is Google Trends for regional interest
Another good tips is use schema markup for local businesses injected into contact pages to give clear indications to search engines of your shop's physical location
Probably has some penalty? what is the situation is this a new client with no visibility, or an actual client who almost disappear from Google.
A Google penalty is a punishment against a website whose content conflicts with the marketing practices enforced by Google. This penalty can come as a result of an update to Google's ranking algorithm, or a manual review that suggests a web page used "black hat" SEO tactics.
Recently Google made an update to the algorithm so you will need to check it is affecting that website.
I use Raven Tool for the same purpose, make reports in an easy way, I use Moz, Semrush, Ahrefs, and Majestic and no one has the same easy to use interface, in fact, Semrush Reports are a nightmare.
I have been tested Data Studio they are good but at least in my case I felt they require too many time to be set up correctly, Report Garden it's, in my opinion, a natural substitute of Raven Tool but it's more expensive.
Agency Analytic is another great tool looks cheaper that Raven Tools but its a trick because of the basic plan 49.99 site audit, keyword and pages require add-ons.
Ok this is just my personal opinion on themeforest
Newspaper
https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
has many options but was created for big publishers so in my case is the best option
for a personal blog but always use for project and clients

Pluto > for me this one is really beautiful

It useful just for your users.
for local seo you can use
So if one of your client is looking your phone number and type
YOURBUSINESS PBX or whatever google can give the right answer.
But as everybody set that will not help you to rank better.
Ok so I as can you know what are you talking about, Is good beacause you know what is wrong or at least you have an idea, and is bad beacuse the obivous solutions can help you.
If you share the URL of the website that you want to optimize I can run an audit and can give some specific advice or even better maybe I change the perspective of the problem
In some cases I get stuck in a problem and suddenly someone suggest some idea (stupid, basic and obvious) that I simple ignored

Tim Holmes this is a very interesting tool that I never hear before until you mentioned **Power BI Pro for 9.99 **is a big deal, obviously, it requires times to get it up and running but looks very interesting
