How valuable are citaitons/consistency (Moz Local) for a NON-local business?
Hi Avin, I'm really sorry that I did not see you had replied on this thread. Provided that you have face-to-face interactions with customers at your corporate office, then yes, it would be worth it to build citations on the major platforms.

Redirect old "not found" url (at http) to new corresponding page (now at https)
Hey Avin, Don't worry about it anymore. I flipped my personal site running WordPress over to SSL last month and I'll tell you everything I did to make it work. Thomas mentioned, "you should be forcing HTTPS", and he's right but what the Yoast plugin lacks in forcing an HTTPS redirect, you can achieve with a WordPress Plugin. If you want to see it working for my site, just go to http://www.kingrosales.com and watch it work Here's what I did: 1. Install the WordPress HTTPS plugin. I found another plugin before this one called, HTTPS Redirection, but it didn't do the job. 2. One of the thinks that you will also need to do is change all the hardcoded links to images within your content that may be calling the http version. If you don't, any images or embedded content from your site will cause the browser show that your site is trying to be https but some components are not, so you're gonna get a caution sign over the padlock. You can do one of two things to fix all these hard coded links to content within your site: Go through each page and post and change the img src to the https version. Open phpmyadmin and go run an SQL query to find and replace http with https. In the Yoast SEO plugin, check the Edit Files area so you can check the htaccess file. In mine, it looks like eventhough I disabled the HTTPS Redirection plugin, it has some lines in there placed above all the other rules: BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]</ifmodule> END HTTPS Redirection Plugin 3. Lastly, install the Redirection plugin by John Godley so you can manage any other 301 redirects manually. Its an awesome tool and I wish I had installed this a long time ago. It has a log of all 404 and then you can just click the "Add Redirection" and when you scroll to the bottom (because nothing appears to happen when you click it), it will give you a form where you just have to put the URL of the new slug. I hope it helps!

Duplicate Google Plus Business Listings
Sort of related: If I have 2 office locations in 2 different cities, should I list the website homepage URL on the Google Plus pages, or should I list the specific contact us page URL for the office location that is on the company website? Does it make a difference? Thanks!
