Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi John,

I had the same experience and it will not get better I'm afraid. Best FB will say is that you post a post on the page that will stop with a link to the remaining page.

Good luck!

Hi Neil,

I would certainly reccomend to look at a domain for yourself. You can buy the template on Theme Forrest and install it (or get it installed) on the domain. Otherwise it will always be a subdomain.

Good luck!

Hi Bas,

The change is made. Do you know if (and what) I now have to do with my Moz campaign?

Thanx in aadvance

Hi Bas, Thanx for the clear answers.

No reason to be scared so ;).

Hi all,

I am changing my hosting for legal and SEO reasons from http://www to https:// . Now I hear different stories on the redirects:

1: should i try and change my backlinks?

2: internally all links will be 301 redirected at first. Than I want to (manually) change them. It;s within Wordpress so there should be a plugin for this. Tips?

3: Will it affect my rankings and for what period? What I now know that at first it will drop little but eventually you will rank higher than before.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,

WiIth Moz's Page Optimization you can Track & Monitor keywords or is that not what you mean?

Hi,

I have one blog outside my company which completely focuses on 1 keyword. I host it outside for I know that if you own and host several websites linking to each other on 1 server it can be regarded spammy.

Hi Jason,

I agree with Chris here. Focus on 1 domain and that will improve the rankings and DA. If you do choose to blog outside your domain I would do it on a completely different url which you host somewhere else as well.

Hi!

Big images reduce the speed on the page and speed is a(n increasingly important) ranking factor. You could use Page Speed Insights to see your overall  site speed or the speed of a specific page.

Within Worpress there is also a setting to index images as a search result or not. On my site it was on and once turned off within a few weeks my overall scores increased so maybe that helps aswell.

Good luck!

Hi Faye,

What worked well for me is sign up for number of local business listings such as Google My Business (I see that you are showing up there). But also yelp, yell, and many more help to link your company to a specific location.

Did you also try to optimize the homepage for that keyword with Yoast Seo tool for Wordpress? It is a good addition to Moz.

In addition you should work on the speed of the site: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.devonshiredentalcare.co.uk%2F&tab=mobile

This becomes increasingly important to the rankings.

Hope it helps!

Hi Seoman,

I wouldnt use the brandname too often. I myself have it in the PageTitle so it comes with all subpages automatically. Too also use it in the metatitle is than not needed in my opinion. That works for me.

Good luck!

Hi Tony,

Most important thing about SEO is time. It takes (a lot of) time but: hard work pays off! Im now using Moz for 4 months and it is helping me to focus on the right things and optimize my shop.

With Search Console you should be able to see links and visibility in the SERP's quicker. Combined with MOZ you have a good setup for building good quality traffic.

Good luck!

Hi Justin,

I also work with Woocommerce/ Yoast and in the settings of Yoast you go to XML Sitemaps and than the tab: taxonomies. There you can exclude the (product attributes. I had the same with all images who where indexed seperatly.

Hope this helps you!

Hi, What I see from Google in The Netherlands is:

Hi Dino,

Is there a green checkmark in front of it? I sometimes find it not very clear in the Onpage Grader if you do or don't measure up to the Ranking Factor. If the keyword is placed behind a domain  www.domain.com/locksmith it should indeed be picked up by the Grader

Hi Owen,

Is the site in Wordpress? I once had the same problem with a site and the reason was that on the backend in WP there is a box that says "block search engines" and that was on. Needless to say this was the reason for not ranking at all. Once turned off it took about a week before the first results to show up and definitely locally you should be able to outrank the overseas ABC's.

Good luck with all!

Tymen

Hi Dino, is the keyword a single word? With more than one word you have to use the"-" in the url to separate the words. Hope it helps!

Hi Mark,

For traffic I still mainly use Adwords. Moz's Keyword Difficulty is handy when it comes to effectiveness I use

https://moz.com/researchtools/keyword-difficulty and theKeyword Ranking tool for the rankings.

Good luck!

Hi Scott,

I had the same issue. Now I found that in the very bottom of the SERP page the location it uses is shown. Hope this help!

Hi Valerio,

For a customer (ecommerce site) i had experience that it indeed was to expensive and the rankings didn't drop after we went from https back to http. As John mentions in the future it might be an extra ranking factor for Google but thats guessing... For other the reason of trust it is always a good idea. For my customer i now work with an PSP (payment service provider) which handels the payments in https.

Good luck with all!
