Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi There,

JS rendered UI isn't negative, it is however not a good practice also.

You can find complete information to the concept of JS rendered pages and UI on this link, https://www.portent.com/blog/seo/javascript-bad-for-seo.htm .

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

The information above looks insufficient to draw conclusions, however, I understand your main concern is about a drop in organic traffic from a specific geographic region and conversion drop as well.

Here are some further questions:

1. -Is your industry seeing a downtrend in general in Europe or elsewhere?
2. How are you managing the international SEO of your website? What is the main target market for your website? How is it international targeting setup in google search console (old version)?
3. Is your business cyclical in nature?
4. Have you analyzed whether the earlier traffic was spam(bot ) traffic, how much is the drop from such traffic?

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi Gary,

I reviewed your complete website and I really appreciate the kind of SEO efforts ( including Blog) that you have put in. As for the H1 issue for the category page, you can fix it from the changes suggested on the link you have posted on your reply. I would like to add some suggestions, that might help you in the long run.  As don suggested to fix URL structure, you can start by taking reference from here https://moz.com/learn/seo/url .

• The blog title can be optimized from Blog - Nector Bridge to something relevant like Blog - Business Consulting (local area name) .
• Your website looks good, but it can be improved by adding/changing some aesthetic elements on the pages (like pacing between elements etc.), which will help it look better and also help on the UI front.
• The H1 and H2 tags are going to be your best friends, optimize all pages effectively for the tags and writing effective titles under these tags.
• Your google pagespeed is coming at 34/100 for Mobile, kindly get it fixed.
• I see that your website is mainly optimized for the keyword 'Business Consulting', it would be a good idea to add local area name along with the keyword for local SEO, this helps in more ways than just local listing benefits. Give it a try.

Keep up with the good work on the SEO and Blog. Let me know if you need any kind of help.

Hi There,

Moz is pretty fair in terms of such cases of cancellation wherein the customer has been billed at the end of the free cycle or billed by mistake.

I am sure the above message from staff would help you resolve the issue.

Hi There,

I am sorry to hear about your situation, I have experienced this often as developers used to forget to add Robots.txt or they would use the wrong setting for no-follow no-index meta. We experienced that Google was able to detect the live version was current and updated one; as we would be working on it more often once the website was launched. We tried both methods but beta version 301 created more complications than providing solutions as we had to keep it updated along the lines of live website. After we realized that live version was being valued and given authority by Google, we never tried to pass authority from beta websites as that would complicate the things further.

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

Ideally, it would be good to let Google know that something doesn't exist, Google would eventually remove them after it realizes about 404 errors and watches it for some time to improve.

I hope it helps.

Hi There,

It is a tricky situation, in this case using 301 would not directly transfer the domain authority but since the traffic might get transferred and eventually the site would trust and get some increase in domain authority. Given the above situation, it would be advisable to keep the higher authority domain and work on it, let the lower authority domain be 301ed to higher DA.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ruben,

This google review has become a more complex to handle, Google detects fake reviews based on their own system and deletes them. If you wish to recover reviews or get them deleted you can write to google support but I don't think there is much that can be done here. We have had a situation where competitors are trying to hurt our or our client's business but Google didn't pay any heed to our fake reviews complaints.

I would recommend getting the users to write the reviews again, it would be less time consuming then following up with Google.

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

I used both your codes in my test to see how Google sees it, there is absolutely no difference as per browseseo.net. Instead, you should focus on getting an ALT tag and right Caption to get SEO value for the image.

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

If you are trying to get direct SEO value from Youtube video by virtue of embedding it on the website then Phil's moz post already explains why it will get value on youtube listing itself and not on your website.

However, the purpose of the video to be available on the website is more important. Whether the video compliments and supplements the website content, that would determine whether you are able to derive the real SEO value from the embedded link. To put it simply, if people would be interested to watch the video on your website that would increase the time spent on the page and benefit your website's purpose and also its SEO.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

VJ

Hi There,

I hope your problem was solved, I have seen many such instances where Moz support has acted diligently and helped get the refund. If you have got the refund, you should mark this as solved to help others.

Hi There,

I understand your concern and know how it feels when it looks like one has to start from scratch for establishing Domain authority. Whenever a domain is transferred (hoping it was done with utmost care to transfer authority), it takes search engines and other Bots take a couple of weeks or even months to understand that they have to point to the new website for the searched phrases. The reason is that links are re-crawled, and that takes its own sweet time. In the meantime, if you can start working on directly establishing authority for the new domain, it would be a bonus for DA when eventually bots have re-established and re-configured their serps.

I hope it helps. Let me know if you have further questions, I will be happy to answer them.

www.hacekerearth.com/sprint is unreachable, not even showing 404, while it should have been 301 redirected to the new address. This is a classic case of wrong migration steps, and you can't blame WordPress for the same.

WordPress is a good platform for website SEO, please take a good look on this article and it should be sufficient to get your ranks back pretty soon. https://moz.com/blog/website-migration-guide

Hi There,

I can completely relate to your situation, it is a tough task to balance design, content, and SEO. I took a look at the search results and you are still ranking fourth in the suggested businesses for search phrases, however, it seems your ranking seems to have dropped to the second page. My perspective on this issue is a little different from technical jargons of keyword density etc, I would say you need to focus on the providing useful information on your homepage in an interesting and presentable way. It needs to be such beautifully placed that user is attracted to read it and also it is 'easy' for the user to find the information he/she is looking for.

This would take care of many factors related to SEO if done in a planned way with placing the important phrases at the right places and given due importance on the page content( in an SEO friendly manner).

I hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.

In Addition to what Joseph has already explained, the link for search visibility calculation metrics is :

Hi There,

I believe you are trying to find a simpler solution as in a tool which could suggest you exact topics or prominent keywords' in your content. As explained by Samantha, Moz tool is doing its bit by giving you guided pointer backed by data, that you can use to develop the content further. Otherwise, you can take relevant keywords to focus on the page from these pointers and update your keyword strategy.

I think that should be enough to develop your content strategy.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Hi There,

I believe you are talking about ALT text or the naming convention of the Logo of any website. It is important to give Logo and its alt text due importance, as you rightly pointed out they are amongst the first things bots see on the website. The right optimization of the Logo would be related to branding keywords of the website and not use it to spam the search for keywords.

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

Yes, Google should read it fine as long as it's readable for bots. The value of your HTML overlay would be treated as a text which would be determined by the keyword optimization of that text on the page and the website altogether. That means, where have you positioned that text, what relevance that text has for the website and the content of the page; similar SEO factors would be applicable here.

I hope this helps.

Hi There,

As mentioned by Nigel there are various tools available like Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, SEMRush, Moz tool etc. Most of the tools are available for free like Google search console, Small SEO Tool, SEO Review Tool .. However, most of the free tools won't show the value of the link for your website in terms of building website authority and also you need to track traffic it might be bringing to your website actively. You need to buy a professional service like Moz Link explorer to get all detailed analysis of your website link profile, historical inputs and help to build a good link profile.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have further queries.
