It's definitely not ideal but as long as they're all showing the same author I don't think it will cause you any issues. I've seen many other sites where authorship is showing in search results and the yhave multiple rel="author" tags in their source code.

I took a look at your site and your wording is slightly deceiving. You're not using alt img text. Your're using text inside of an <a>tag (aka a link) and then using css to overlay your logo. To use alt img text the image would have to be coded with an tag into your html, which it looks like it is but is currently commented out and not showing.</a>

<a>Either way you look at it, at least in my opinion, your h1 should never be the same on every single page. There should be one on each page and it should be unique to that page. The h1 is supposed to be the main heading/title of the page and essentially you're telling google that the main title of every single page on your website is your brand name, which is incorrect.

I'm not saying that leaving the brand name tied to your logo is wrong, but I don't think that it should be in a sitewide h1 tag.</a>

So it looks like you're a venue for music, poetry and live music. Most of this is based off of "live music san juan puerto rico"

Your address is not listed on your website or anywhere on the web that I can find. How am I supposed to visit your business if I can't figure out where it is? Fix that.

You have a map on your contact page that is just to San Juan. That doesn't help anyone. Create a Google+ local listing ASAP and then link your map to that listing in Google maps! Also add your address on your Facebook and build out other relevant directory listings, such as Yelp. Look at what your competitors are doing. La Repestua looks like a decent one to look at even if they don't offer exactly what you do.

I would also suggest including the name of your business in the title tag of the homepage. This should help to ensure your website ranks first for your business name. I currently see your Facebook and Twitter beating it.

There are tons of travel sites that feature live music venues. Just search for "live music san juan puerto rico" and a ton show up. These are the types of places you want to show up.

There doesn't appear to be a ton of competition in San Juan so just getting some basic directory listings set up should help you out a lot.

This is definitely Google choosing to put the business name at the beginning of the title. This is extremely common and in my experience it will only do this for homepages. This doesn't always happen though and I'm not sure exactly what makes Google decide to rearrange it.

Hmm I'm seeing it as coming up once each in the title, meta description, body and img alt in the On-Page Grader Tool.

And "Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once" is showing a check-mark.

Yoast may not be picking it up due to how your homepage is laid out in wordpress. Yoast probably just pulls the main body content and a lot of wordpress homepages are in widgets or other places outside of the main page content, which will likely hide it from the yoast plugin.

It's because your meta descriptions are improperly formatted.

Yours are formatted like:

description="We make it easy to send emails triggered by user behavior. Build, measure and improve your emails to activate and retain users" />

but they should be like:

I agree with Samuel. I also don't think that adding an author tag would have the benefit that you want. It's not going to stop them from stealing your content and repurposing it.

Via .htaccess file in the root of your site you can use mod rewrite to display http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/index.php as http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/ instead.

It would look something like:

Rewrite index.php to root

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]

I can't say I'm master at .htaccess files, so that may not be 100% correct.

It would be better if someone with a little more experience with rewrites could add their input.

I'm confused as to what your question is. I'm assuming it's related to a meta refresh or some error related to a meta refresh but you haven't really specified what you mean.

In regards to the email on that page it looks like someone added an on click event for event tracking in google analytics but that should be irrelevant to a meta refresh. The email itself is coded incorrectly, which is why you'll notice clicking on it redirects you to the homepage(at least in firefox and chrome). The "http://" needs to be removed and probably replaced with "mailto:" so that it's "mailto:sheira.gorris@fdmgroup.com"

This is mostly speculation but it almost looks like Google is choosing to index http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/ instead of http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/index.php.

If you search for site:roguevalleymicro.com it shows http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/ with the title and meta description for http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/index.php.

It might be doing that because almost every single link, including the google+ page link to http://www.roguevalleymicro.com instead of http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/index.php.

I would actually advise that you rewrite http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/index.php to http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/ which is more aesthetically pleasing and will probably fix your issue.

Yep, it's definitely schema that Indeed is using to get that snippet. You'll see on http://www.indeed.co.za/Picker-Packer-jobs that the

for each row uses the itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting" property and the tags are using properties like itemprop="hiringOrganization".

Schema is a little confusing at first but it's actually fairly straightforward once you get it figured out.

For adzuna.com it looks like google might just be recognizing that it's a search results page and pulling the "Results 1-10 of 14" that's displayed on the page.

It looks an extension of the knowledge graph, which is why if you google any of those company's names you'll see a box on the side with more information about them. Essentially google is taking information from sources that it believe to be reliable and bringing it into the SERP because it believes it to be relevant. This is why you'll mostly see this on larger companies and will usually be from wikipedia or DMOZ because google knows those sources are reliable.

In 29 I'm seeing it under customize and there's a "Title Bar" button in the bottom left corner.

The bottom block of text is definitely spammy and needs to be removed, but other than that I would say that http://www.generalplumbingsupply.com/American-Canyon-CA-v1.HTML is a better landing page for SEO and for user experience. It has a better layout and provides more information. The only real issue is that the content should be customized for each location instead of using the same text for all 5 locations with swapped out location names at the end. You'll want to schema the addresses, phone numbers and hours on that page was well.

I'm not sure how long that page has been up but it's not indexed at all as far as I can tell and the top page that is indexed: www.generalplumbingsupply.com/locations-sonora.html is a 404. Also there are even more duplicate content issues because this page is indexed: http://www.generalplumbingsupply.com/Kitchen-And-Bathroom-Products-In-American-Canyon-CA-v1.HTML and has exactly the same content as http://www.generalplumbingsupply.com/American-Canyon-CA-v1.HTML. It would make sure that all pages with the same content are using one url, instead of having multiple urls with the exact same content.

This is one of those times where it's frustrating to be a local SEO, because the site is actually ranking in the cities that they have fake location pages for.

Good Luck!

I would be wary of most services that are charging under ~$1000 a month total, not necessarily on a keyword basis.  I would also highly advise against using an overseas agency, you're more likely to get screwed than to get a good deal in  my experience. I would suggest checking out Moz's recommended agencies or agencies that are active on Moz and other SEO related blogs/news sites.

This is definitely tough because you are an online business, which generally means more competition. Hopefully you're in a fairly specific niche that isn't super competitive.

Good Luck!

This is exactly correct. I actually went in and looked at every single link listed in opensiteexplorer. All but one of the links is a spammy directory link and the one that isn't is a low quality link from a magento plugin vendor.

Even a few decent links should help a lot.

I definitely agree with this. Also, why would you want your website to listed in your google places if you don't want it to show up in search results? It seems a little bit counter intuitive to me.

If I understand correctly the executives at your company want to use the domain that the current event site is on to create an umbrella site, but you want to keep SEO strength of that site but on a different domain?

I don't think that that would work how you want it to, because as far as I know once you take that 301 off, all of the links leading to the original domain are going to start counting towards that umbrella site and the even site will likely drastically drop in rankings.

The temporary might help to boost the new domain for the event site, but it's definitely a complicated situation and I'm not sure that there's a good way to go about it.

Also, you mentioned a blog at the beginning of your post but after reading it, it kind of seems somewhat irrelevant to your question.

You didn't look very hard for canonicals, because they're all using rel="canonical" tags back to http://www.chillisauce.co.uk/stag-weekends/edinburgh/

How did you find these pages?

It looks like they might just be ppc landing pages, which is why they are all variations of eachother or they might be old seo tactics that they just decided to consolidate via canonical tags.

They're actually going about that how they should be, which is why they are not being penalized whatsover.

You will also notice that for all of those keywords http://www.chillisauce.co.uk/stag-weekends/edinburgh/ is the only url that ranks.

I concur. Wordpress is an excellent option for blogging and it would definitely better to put it on a subdirectory of your main site. Something like http://www.awaragroup.com/blog would be ideal.
