Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Armin,

1. H tags can have different fonts and sizes and this is usually controlled with the CSS on your Wordpress site. If you are not familiar with CSS, you might have two options. Higher end Wordpress themes, give you the ability to easily customize your font sizes in headings, body text, menus etc. If this is not available, being Wordpress is known to have a plugin for pretty much everything, you can try out the many font customization plugins to see which gives you the option to change heading sizes.

2. Generally have only one H1 heading, as a page title, and then you can have multiple H2-5 tags

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Two key factors are location and competition. If you are already ranking for your primary area, great.  If you are ranking for other locations as an outlier, even better.  Now to get the outliers to rank higher is tricky. Because of location and competition. If there are many other businesses in the area where you are an outlier, location is a much stronger metric then many others in this case. If competition was low your chances could be better.

Here are some ideas:

1. Go crazy and get all the local citations directories and creative means like citations in your relevent youtube videos and other assets. Basically create a stellar citation profile. See if this helps if not so much or not at all, that means location and competition are in the way here and are giving precedence to other businesses.

2. If you are showing up on local results as an outlier, if you are showing up that means eye balls are looking, yes you may be lower than other businesses, but if you can get significantly more higher end reviews. This could set you apart and give you that conversion despite an outlier position.

3. Try ranking for organic results for the city + industry you are going for, it might not be too competitive and this might be a better position than as an outlier

4. Increase social signals to your website, and Google local page.

Hope this helps!

Disable or re-setup according to the new desired settings

This is what Google means by its geotargetting:

"The tool handles geographic data, not language data. If you're targeting users in different locations—for example, if you have a site in French that you want users in France, Canada, and Mali to read—we don't recommend that you use this tool to set France as a geographic target. A good example of where it would be useful is for a restaurant website: if the restaurant is in Canada, it's probably not of interest to folks in France. But if your content is in French and is of interest to people in multiple countries/regions, it's probably better not to restrict it."

Hope this clarifies the two questions you have, and it would seem that hreflang as result would be a better option no?

Hi Michael,

I would tackle and answer this for you but Cyrus Shephard just gives such a great answer here

Let me know if this provides enough food for thought to make a best decision about .com vs ccTLDs as this answer depends on the outcomes you desire and the work you would like to put in!

Hi Benoit,

Yes, Andy is totally on it. Server side redirects are faster, however if you have Wordpress a plugins make it so much easier and convenient.

Also if you want other powerful features like: 404 error monitoring - captures a log of 404 errors and allows you to easily map these to 301 redirects, and more Try Redirection plugin

Hope this Helps!

Hi Pedram,

Generally not so relevant in this creativity, experience, and w_ho-you-know_ focused industry.

Here are more thoughts here at moz on the topic:

"Great Steak! Great fun! A.1.!"

Semi-creative way of saying you are #1, and that you want to be listed first on an alphabetical order directory

"What your saying is that you think Google ignores a citation in regards to local ranking so long as NAP is not present.  So if it isn't a full citation with Name, Address, Phone, then they likely don't take it into account."

Partially correct, however, local ranking is not exclusive to citations only, but to links, social metrics (here are other rankings http://moz.com/local-search-ranking-factors). Unless you have some connection to those pages other then Photo jennette looking similar photojennette you should not worry about that.

What I think Jonathan _might _be getting at is, do citations from other sources with partial information (some of the words matching) negatively affect my business' local rankings? (Jonathan is that what you were getting at?)

If that is your thinking, here is something to think about:

1. Major search engines are smart enough to understand a difference between a photo of a person and a business name. 3) Ultimately these two queries "Photojennette Photography" or "Photo Jennette McCardy" have really little in common to cause beneficial relationships or to negatively affect you.

2. Local rankings use NAP (Name, Address, Phone, and Website) of the business to build rank. I would assume a webpage with a pic of Jeanette would not have this citation info, and either way if it did it would serve as a benefit to you.

Hope this helps!

You are on the spot with this, Edmond: "We will leave the url's the same as its critical for the results."

Another vote for Yoast SEO Plugin, there is a premium version now, but dont think this means the free is in some form a limited plugin it is still a full featured polished product that works well. (Premium offers better support, and redirect module, which can be used free by another plugin)

Hi Carla,

I would try to grow my authority as an individual on my personal account, because say I am a content publisher at company X, and I decided to leave and start another company Y and content publish.  It would mean starting over with the the work G+, but with a personal G+ your authority and all your social interaction is linked to you. This will help:

1. with your ugly name issue

2. G+ and authorship work best for a real person to show validity and trust

3. You switch companies and you do not have to start over

4. Personal connections will later help more and more with ranking for people connected to your network, so definitely look at G+ for the long term goals!

The link above describes how this is done being pulled from public archives. I have not seen a service that does this automatically for you, its done great for things like copied text that will then give you a link with it. You could manually provide embed code with each picture, similar to what Photobucket gives you for an easy embed.

Hope this helps!

Hi Marike,

1. Yes, change for the better or for the worse, usually they might take a dip for and then recover if all is done well and thought out.

2. Same response as above.

As for the best way to do this, there are many ways to accomplish this well, and its worth doing all the due diligence.

Some resources from moz to get you started here and here.

In that case your best bet is organic rankings. To rank for local seo you need a local presence in the area, this would not work in your case. Unless you open local business locations that would represent your company.

I would definitely use the word antique, vintage, old in there. With valuation, price, cost, value, and or appraisal (all seem commonplace to me) That's coming from a guy in California, USA.

Hope this helps!

Try it again, there is a bug and it displays the error sometimes, but I tried adding your link, and it did not work at first, and then it just went through. Also you can copy the link directly from your search bar in your favorite browser this will usually do it too, and make sure you have the right URL.

The correct format: http://www.domain.com (I believe yours follows this)

Hope it works out!
