Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you SO very much!  This is exactly what I will do.

Hello colleagues!

I have a client who decided to launch a separate domain so they could offer their content translated for other countries.   Each country (except the US/English) content lives in its own country folder as follows:

client.com/01/02/zh
client.com/01/02/tw

etc.

The problem is that they post the content in US/English on this domain too.  It does NOT have its own folder, but exists righth after the date (as in the above example) Oh, and the content is the same as on their "main" domain so google likes to index that sometimes vs. the original client on the domain where we want the traffic to go.

SO, is there a way to say "hey google, please index the US content only on the main domain, but continue to index the translated content in these folders on this totally separate domain?"

Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you so much.  This is so helpful.

Hello, community!

My client wants to use the barba.js plugin for their new site.

What are the implications for SEO?

Hi all!

My client is in healthcare in the US and for HIPAA reasons, blocks traffic from most international sources.

a. I don't think this is good for SEO

b. The site won't allow Moz bot or Screaming Frog bot to crawl it.  It's so frustrating.

We can't figure out what mechanism they are utilizing to execute this.  Any help as we start down the rabbit hole to remedy is much appreciated.

thank you!

Thanks so much, Darin!

Hello, colleagues!

We have a conundrum.  A client website has a good subdirectory strategy for localized/translated content for its various international markets, but nothing currently "lives" at the root.  In my mind, this presents a challenge to search engines (note that we have had some trouble getting proper visibility overall, which is why I'm asking this question).

I'm looking for any links or just plain old good advice on why it's important to have a global homepage.  Should that global homepage be in English?  Most enterprise sites I've worked with do have a homepage that's in English, with the ability to select a country from a drop down in a nav across the site.

Any advice, best practices, etc. about why a global homepage is important and what language it could/should be in would be really helpful.

Hreflang tags would make sense, I guess, but each country has slightly different offerings so I'm not sure that it makes complete sense.  In other words, one country's homepage may have completely different content than another's.

Thank you!

Hi all!

Does anyone have advice for getting a software product to appear in the card results at the top of SERPs?

Hello!

I'm rolling out hreflang tags in my client's "main" XML Sitemap.

My question is:  do we need to implement these tags in the country level XML Sitemaps also?

Thanks!

Hello, all!

I have a client who's Fortune 500 - has all the good "stuff" that is associated with pulling in proper info into the knowledge graph/company information box - Wikipedia, strong citations, etc., but the card is showing the wrong company type!

Has anyone had experience with influencing this via Schema or anything else clever?

Note that the correct company type is referenced in all the usual spots.

Thanks!

thanks!  Such a great answer.

Hi Moz Community,

I have a client using relative links for their canonicals (vs. absolute)

Google appears to be following this just fine, but bing, etc. are still sending organic traffic to the non-canonical links.

It's a drupal setup.

Anyone have advice?  Should I recommend that all canonical links be absolute?  They are strapped for resources, so this would be a PITA if it won't make a difference.

Thanks

Thank you so much.  This is so helpful.

thanks, I agree.  I appreciate your help.

Thank you SO much!
