Great responses, everyone! I think that I will go to the meeting, and then explain all of the components and time that go into SEO. I have a feeling that Bob will not want to increase his workload as much as it will take. And, if he does, I'm sure that it will just get pushed to the side, as "extra work" for when he has time to do it.
Thanks everyone!
What would you do if a potential client asked you this:
Bob and I could meet with you soon to discuss how we would like to work with you regarding SEO. We are specifically curious whether or not it is worth it to have you work on SEO-related issues for a specific period of time or to pay to have you train Bob in doing so for that period of time. We would be interested in comparing rates and the value of each proposition.
I am tempted to tell them that I do not doing SEO training. But, I have a feeling that there is a way for me to help the client and to make some money for myself as well.
I'm curious what the rest of you would do in this situation though.
Thanks in advance.
You should embed the links within the content of your page. Do it as NATURALLY as you can. You don't want to make the blog post unreadable by adding a lot of keywords that link to the other pages on your site. Link to the relevant and natural pages that relate to your blog post. Google rewards those who try to make things as natural for the user as possible.
Do you think that this URL would negatively affect the page in SEO value? I ask this since all of the competing URLs show the full/correct URL, and contain the keyword in the URL path. I'm wondering if this breadcrumb is causing them to lose some SEO value in their page URLs.
Google is not displaying the URL correctly for this page. (See image)
Here is the search that I performed:
If you click on the URL, it doesn't take you to the page that it the URL references.
Any ideas?
It should show this URL:
Hello fellow SEO'ers!
I have a question regarding the overall SEO implications of using a single page to describe the services/products offered at two different locations. The locations are in two different states/cities.
I have tried to explain to the client that I working with that this is essentially splitting the page in two from a search ranking perspective. I have a feeling that Google sees this page as partially dedicated to one city, and partly to another... meaning that it won't rank as well as it could for either city. Is my thinking correct? Seems logical.
The client has done this site-wide for every service/product that they offer in their facilities. I'm offering some title/description recommendations for the entire site right now, and I'm going back and forth with myself whether to include the city names in the titles and descriptions at all.
Let me know what you smart folks think. I appreciate it.
