Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Michael for the response. Excuse my poor description by indexing I was refereeing to my ever growing list of crawl errors. When you say "It looks like not only do you need to resolve any MANAdev issues but you need to do an audit on the site as I think you have several issues." Is there some obvious errors you can see? Thanks

Hello, The source code on those pages have a Robots Index,Follow tag. This should be noindex, follow. They also have two rel = canonical tags, which point to different URLs, thus conflicting with each other. Really I would have to log into the back-end to see what's going on, but I'm guessing one of the rel canonical tags is being added by Mageworks or Yoast and the other is default from Wordpress. You may require some custom coding to the blog template, and I recommend working with a developer if you can't figure it out on your own. There are lots of Wordpress developers on sites like Upwork and Guru who could probably get this done for you for a minimal investment.

Hi Geraldine A client of ours used http://www.regus.fr/ to set up an address in Paris for this purpose and later opened a real office - and a real French company - when sales increased. Regus have offices worldwide see http://www.regus.fr/country-selector.aspx so I imagine that they can help for all countries. I'll add to Gianluca's comments that Google won't be "fooled" by this address into recognising you as a French company. Google checks this through access to company registration databases rather than its own My Business listings. But there are plenty of other advantages in having a My Business listing and Paris would be a good base in France for your site (audience reach). For an e-commerce site, potential clients will be reassured by a local telephone number too. Looking at the French site, I noticed that the HREFLANG is incorrectly implemented. This is more important than the postal address. I strongly suggest you correct that Neil

We are having the same issues.  We have already implemented hreflang. Is there anything else that might help solve this problem?

Great thanks microdesign and iQseo

Hi there, you've received some good responses. Did any of them answer your question? We'd love an update, thanks!  (Christy)

Another decent site for usabilty testing is: http://www.feedbackarmy.com/ (not the best, but good results for a company with a tight budget).

WOW that's allot of external CSS files and allot of External JS files.I would suggest you try to reduce the CSS to just one file on any one page and also see if there's any JavaScript which isn't required for the page. Some of the images seem to take a while to load on a slower connection too, try to keep the physical size small. Good Luck Dave

Now this may cause some debate, personally I prefer the www version, you can see that moz prefers the non www version and there is a article here http://www.searchenginejournal.com/canonicalization-seo-should-i-use-www-or-not/6950/ that may help you make your own decision. Basically choose one and stick with it.

Hi thanks that pretty much answers the question was basing the more complicated version on the Amazons of the world so wanted to check there wasn't any fundamental reasons for doing it that way as opposed to the more simplistic way.

Thank you both for the great answers

There isn't a way for a user to force Google to give the larger sitelinks like that, unfortunately. It's something they do at their choosing.

There are many pre-formatted dashboards within the Google Analytics community. Using a combination of these to create VP level reports is a good way to align expectations with goals. The meat and potatoes of your job sounds like a well rounded successful campaign that resulted in increase in traffic and sales- regardless of the source. I would utilize a few dashboards, to nail down the specifics: 1. Traffic from Organic Searches & Sales From Organic Sources 2. Traffic from Social Sources & Sales From Social Sources 3. Transactions from Campaigns- ( paid, newsletters, emails, articles) - tracking installed obviously. 4. Over all rankings of Keywords that resulted in sales- after all who wants to be number 1 for shiny yellow thing, when you don't sell shiny yellow things. An executive overview or scorecard for these successes could be used as a glance through- at the top of the monthly report. What worked, what changed, what needs changing and the successes that are monitored. I hope this helps-

Ok thanks I will keep an eye on it.

I assume you have let google and bing know where you sitemap is? if you put it at the root called sitemap.xml they will find it anyhow, or put it in your robots.txt But really you should not need to, unless tthey are not reachable to the crawler. What I suggest you do, is mark up not just your image but each product using schema.org, this will tell the search engine that you have a product, what its called, the description, the image of that product, the price, the maker and other stuff. http://schema.org/Product

I think I've already answered to this question few weeks ago :). Said that, I would quit the geolocation of the .com and add in both sites the rel="alternate" hreflang="x-X" and the rel="alternate" hreflang="default" this way: <rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.domain.com"></rel="alternate"> <rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="http://www.domain.co.uk"></rel="alternate"> <rel="alternate" hreflang="default" href="http://www.domain.com"></rel="alternate"> The first line is saying to Google to show that URL for search done in English all the the world. The second that you want Google to show only the .co.uk URLs to the users from Great Britain The third suggest Google to show to people doing a search in another language than English, but that could show up your sites, the .com global version of the site, even if it in English.

You're welcome Geraldine, hope this solves your doubts. If after speaking with the devs you'll still have some doubts, you know where we are and if you don't find us there's an huge great community of professionals here! Cheers!

Hi Thanks for that yep your righ,t explains it completely  , we use module on Magento called SEOsuite which generates  the sitemap for you so will have a look into that. Thanks for your help
