What's the weirdest way you've gotten a link?
I remember when I first started link building, I tried a ton of techniques. Then one day I just went to one of the top 10 websites on Google for a similar term to what I was trying to rank for. But not so similar that we would be considered "competition". I literally just asked him for a link back to my site, and he added it that day. I thought it was the weirdest thing ever, I guess some people are just extremely nice, or don't know how valuable the link they gave was.

Keep in mind that you need the business information to attach the hours schema to. If you don't want anything else other the opening hours visible, you can take advantage of meta tags to put in missing / implicit information. I would discuss with you web development team.

Rel="alternate" hreflang="x" or Unique Content?
Hello there, In an ideal world I would recommend (wherever possible) that completely different content is created for UK / US / Canadian markets. I recommend this mainly because there are a lot of differences in consumer behaviour. Although we all speak English, the English we speak, the way we search, the messaging we respond to etc is different. Obviously the option to create separate content isn't open to everyone (budgets, resources, etc). As such, if you can't stretch to creating separate content for each market I'd probably go with the rel=alternate hreflang implementation. I hope this helps, Hannah

Problem With Video Sitemap Becuase All Videos Are in he Same URL
Hey Juan, I'm afraid there's no easy solution to this one. Google only allows you to submit one video per URL in the sitemap, which makes it tricky for anyone who has a dedicated video page on their site. Think of it as like traditional keyword targeting - you can't try and target the hundreds of keywords with the same page content and simply having an index of videos shouldn't be able to change this. My suggestion would be to create new pages for each of your videos - targeting all on-page elements to the relevant keywords for the videos while providing some supporting text and images. Use these pages to define the URL element in your video sitemap and then just submit the indexed page with a single video element. You should then be able to get video results for all the relevant terms, albeit not to a single page. If you really need users to land on your video index page, then you could think about adding rel=canonical to all the individual pages, but i'm not sure how this would play out regarding video results. Perhaps better would be just to ensure they can access the video index page from the landing pages using good internal linking.

Facebook Shares and the rel="canonical" tag
Use "og:url" with URL of the page itself and "og:description" to take description from the individual pages. After Google released rel="next" and rel="prev", usage of canonical for non identical pages is not advisable.
