Welcome to the Q&A Forum

While this is a good idea in most respects, I would be wary of using a Top Level Domain if you plan on using the MozBar to track your DA / PA. Unfortunately Moz's bots can't crawl a lot of TLDs, and you would be stuck seeing a DA / PA of 1 forever (or until they add that TLD to their database, but I assume that will be a long, long time).

Good afternoon everyone!

I wanted to start a discourse on a subject that I think might benefit a few select readers.

What would be your best plan-of-action to successfully propose and execute a Local-SEO campaign for a small, local business in a rural town? The type of town that has next to zero local directories, the type of business that has hardly any (if any at all) "fresh mentions" on the internet, etc.

I'm interested to see how other SEOs would handle tackling this kind of campaign.

Can't wait to hear what people have to say! 
Thanks!

I got a response from someone at Moz over an email and they confirmed this to be true. They don't support custom Top Level Domains, so they can't crawl ".kitchen" - Thanks everyone!

I appreciate the response!

I should have prefaced this a little more; I've been working in the SEO industry for 4 years now and I have a good grasp on how to properly linkbuild / run a campaign. I've gotten results for plenty of clients over the years.

I've been getting relevant, authoritative backlinks for this client as well as adjusted their On-Page Optimization for the better.

It appears they have a 902 Error Code from Moz. Google Webmaster Tools is able to crawl the site, but Moz for whatever reason isn't it. I looked into our web hosting platform and even contacted their tech-support team for help. On their end, it says that the crawl abilities are active and there shouldn't be a problem.

Yet there's still a 902 error and their DA hasn't moved at all. sigh

Good afternoon.

I recently got hired as an SEO for a site, and it appears that they have been stuck at a 1DA for almost a year. I've been working on them for 3 months now with no improvements.

I'm not sure if this is related but they do not have a traditional ".com" address. There URL ends with ".kitchen"

If you have any idea why this might be happening, please let me know. 
It would be much appreciated. 
Thanks!
