Hi there,
You need to build backlinks that have local queries in them. For example, if you want to rank for personal injury lawyer NYC then you need to get some backlinks that will have keyword-rich anchor texts. You can find more information on local SEO here https://moz.com/local-search-ranking-factors

Hi,
You have to implement Schema Product Review across all your products if you want to see yellow stars in the SERPS.

Hi there,
You need to use a link indexing tool like Omega to index your web.20 pages. I do not think posting your web 2.0 pages on Moz will help you to index your pages
Hi there,
I have a similar problem with my title tag. Google appended ":" to my title, but I do not even have that sign in my title. I do not have any schema markup on that site at all, so I do not think it has something to do with Schema Mark-Up. I tried to reindex and change the title, of that page but ":" does not go anywhere. Btw when you have rebranded the website? It is possible that Google needs more time to update the databases.

Well, there are many reasons why your competitors are outranking your site. You should keep building links to your domain to outrank him and make sure your site speed is the same as their sites. Also, get a RankMath Plugin instead of Yoast.
Hi,
Yes, that is correct. You need to set a self canonical for each on your site. You can learn more about can tag here https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization

Hi there,
You should get more quality links if you want to improve your spam score.

Hi there,
If you have a brand new domain then your first backlinks should go the home page of your website. You do not want to start the link building process by build building an exact match and partial match anchor texts to your blog without building some authority/pillow with branded anchor texts to the home page. Everything should look natural in Google's eyes, so you should gradually increase the number of backlinks that you build per month. 2 links per day is way too much for a brand new domain.

I do not think that you can get any SEO value from that environment since you will block it from web crawlers. I think if you put that environment on the subdomain it will be easier to deindex the whole thing.

Hi there,
Your spam score will not change if you disavowed links via Google Search Console. Moz has no way of knowing that you disavowed any links. By disavowing these links you just telling Google to do not count them.
Ross
Hi there,
As you might know, do-follow links are passing more weight compare to no-follow, which means your DA can go down. I just do not think that Moz can explicitly say how they calculate their DA metric.
I hope this helps.
Hi there,
You can use an FAQ generator if you are not a technical person. However, I do not think that internal linking to other FAQs will work. Yes, just add FAQ Schema Mark up to your existing content and to your new content pages. It is ok to have many FAQs on your website.
Ross
Hi there,
I do not think you should worry about spam score since this is a third party metric. However, if you want to improve your score, you must build high-quality backlinks from high DA sites.
Ross
Hi,
It depends on many factors, but on average it takes 9-12 months to see a result. You should analyze your competitors to see how many links you need to built to get to the first page.

Hi there,
Google does not use Alexa rank when it's applying its ranking algorithms. You should focus on building links and writing high-quality content.
Ross
Hi,
You can add some keyword to the name of your GMB, but you have to be very careful. Google will consider this technique as spam and your listing might get suspended.
