Nofollow backlinks - are they worth it?
100% Agree with you. Does not make any sense just add links (do-follow) just to do it. At the end of the day, Google just tries to classify all the info on the web in the best possible way. So if you can contribute to that in any way (Content) that will be reflected in your rank.

My site links to my clients not showing in Moz
Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Thanks for writing in and sorry about the trouble. This is definitely due to the way we collect this information for our link index and it is actually expected that we won’t find every page and link because we aren’t looking for them all! When we collect this data, we’re looking specifically for the most valuable links and, rather than crawling your entire site or every site, we collect this by starting our crawler on a few highest ranking sites and letting it perform a breadth first search to see what it finds. For each page that we crawl, we first collect each of it’s links before following these and collecting the details of each page that these link to and so on. There’s a set limit of links that we’ll crawl per page and pages that we’ll crawl per site so it’s expected that we may not follow every link on your site this way. Generally, we recommend using a wide variety of backlink tools to get the most illustrative picture of how your site's backlink profile looks. OSE and Ahrefs index differently and have different purposes. Ahrefs is good for quantity while OSE is great for finding higher quality links. Domain Authority is our own proprietary metric that is closely correlated to Google rankings, so our customers often use OSE to research influential sites to build links. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any further questions!

Proper 301 redirect code for http to https
Try this for a complete site wide redirect to HTTPS:// RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] I have also updated all my exiting 301 redirect to point to the new location. All older pages should be caught under this rule. Also remember to update your Search Console profiles, sitemap, robots etc I would also update all internal links to point to https:// rather than relying purely on the redirect.

Two businesses - using separate suite numbers
Thanks Wick for the extra details. This one is tricky because some of the services will overlap. Where an SMB may see themselves as 2 different companies, Google often looks at it as a marketing ploy and sees it as really 2 divisions of the same company. This one is a little hazy to me. I think the only safe way to even try to have 2 listings is if none of the categories cross over. So even though they both do home maintenance of sorts that cat should not cross over. Does that make sense?
