Welcome to the Q&A Forum

One easy way that I've found to help with pagespeed is with cloudflare's free subscription. It does a lot to speed up your site, such as auto minifying, css, html and javascript. It also caches your pages and greatly reduces server response times. It also does some other stuff and offers security features which is another benefit.

I would look into finding a method to redirect via your server rather than with javascript. This will ensure that bots can properly crawl your site.

I would also add hreflang tags which should help Google with the multiple language versions of the site.

Also in the short term you may want to do something like add a link or a delayed meta refresh just in case someone either has javascript disabled or is using script blocking extensions. This will make sure they at least see something instead of a blank page.

I've never used this strategy personally but I have heard that Google will read the captions and use the text for ranking purposes. I've also seen articles mentioning this as a best practice for Youtube SEO. I don't have a specific source though, so hopefully someone with more experience will be able to help.

It looks like there are two issues.

The first issue is that Firefox and Chrome are treating the padding differently. Firefox is padding from the bottom of the text of the navigation whereas chrome is padding from the top of the containing div.

The second issue is that your site appears to be adding hardcoded css via javascript which is why you don't see that style in the source code. It's being added by a script executed in the browser after the site is loaded.

As far as I know, which is confirmed by this blog from Lunametrics is that you can't run ads to two different domains from the same account. You'll have to create a separate for each domain. If they are a subdomains of a main domain then that is fine but if the websites are completely separate then you'll need multiple accounts.

If you go to site settings in webmaster tools you can set your geographic target to United Kingdom which may help.

This! Excluding external factors, such as hosting problems or plugin interaction issues and assuming you are just adding it to every single page you technically should install GTM on a wordpress site in about 5 minutes. This is obviously excluding configuration as well.

To take 36 hours it would have to have had some massive issues and I feel like if it's taking that long he should have brought it up beforehand instead of just billing for 36 hours after the fact.

It doesn't look like moz counts local results, but I still have moz pulling http://www.vonderhaar.com/ at 33rd for "Cincinatti Fireplace Cleaning" with http://www.vonderhaar.com/mantels.php.

Everyone says this, but having advertised with yelp for over $1000 a month for the past six months I completely disagree. We tried to get them to take down negative reviews with legitimate reasons as to why they should be removed and they were completely unhelpful. They also filtered a lot of legitimate good reviews. They're just frustrating in general in my opinion.

I'm seeing them on the first page for both "Cincinnati chimney repair" and "Cincinnati chimney cleaning" which appear to be your 2 main keywords. These are both showing in the local pack.

From my understanding of your post, technically anyone trying to go to the non www. version of the old pages would be redirected twice which would be a redirect chain. Assuming their aren't any or aren't many links to the non www. version of the pages I don't think that should be a problem. As long as all of your links on the site are linking directly to the proper pages or at most are being redirected once I don't think that you should have any issues.

I can't answer the question exactly, but I did notice that if you go to the url directly, the content displays properly but returns a 404 error. That may cause issues. It doesn't appear to be affecting Google's crawl but I could see it messing up Moz's crawler, especially because I'm fairly positive that Bing doesn't handle ajax properly.

I can't say I have a complete understanding of what this is explaining, but here's a link to the original paper on Stanford's website if anyone else is interested. http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html

Ok, this should fix your problem. Just add the "updated" that is bolded below. That portion of the code will look like this:

%3$s

/**

• Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
• @since Twenty Ten 1.0
  */
  function twentyten_posted_on() {
  printf( ( 'Posted on %2$s by %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
  'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
  sprintf( '%3$s',
  get_permalink(),
  esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
  get_the_date()
  ),
  sprintf( '%3$s',
  get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
  sprintf( esc_attr( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
  get_the_author()
  )
  );
  }
  endif;

It's probably in content.php or functions.php which are located in the theme folder of your wordpress installation and are probably only accessible via ftp.

They work if you open them in a new tab, at least for me.

It is really hard to tell for sure but I would imagine that their link from inc.com is probably helping quite a bit.

Also it looks like Google might be favoring the exact match domain

My first guess would be that they have a lot of spammy backlinks with the term Sydney in them. It's really hard to give good advice based on generalized information, but that's something that I would look into. I would look at their backlinks and anchor text with majestic seo and ahrefs.

Yeah, I actually just noticed that I had this issue as well. You just need to add "updated" as a class so the html for the date on your http://www.kempruge.com/suv-driving-tips/ blog should end up as:

I'm not a web developer, so this might may be wrong, but I feel like it might be easier to just add every user to the xml sitemap and then add a noindex robots meta tag ons users pages that don't want to their profiles to be indexed.
