Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Anyone? lol

Excellent, thanks again Miriam! It's a weird one lol

Completely agree with John. I saw a couple of cases like this one. Another important thing besides the outreach program, it's to keep all the content and continue developing it. This advertising site StarterDaily (previously Zapping Latam) had this problem with less time (a couple of weeks) keeping their rankings. Now also ranks for the "zapping latam" brand term when it shouldn't.

The Moz Local team have been made aware of the the issue and are working to resolve this issue.

Hi David, Thanks for your response. I have gone through them all, the other listings are correct from what I can see through the Moz Report. Also, this is happening with more than one address that I have checked - see attached images. Under the Incomplete section it's showing Google as the one that's incorrect, however, when I click through to Google the address is correct - again, see attached images. Any other suggestions let me know 4FwVXZi.png OEF0JzZ.png jrKdHYU.png CoiU0tt.png

Hi Peter, A generic domain name's website can geo-target more than one country only it is follow a geo-targeting subfolders or subdomains strategy. For instance, domain.com may geo-target its root on UK and its subfolder domain.com/ie/ on Ireland (or ie.domain.com, in case of subdomain). If the site you are talking about is http://www.wsidigitalweb.co.uk/, then I see it hard to follow a subfolder/subdomain strategy, because the content will be substantially the same. Not impossible, but complicated. An option could be: creating duplicating everything but the blog both in the root (for UK) and a /ie/ subfolder; then creating to properties on Search Console (1 for the UK version and 1 for the IE one) and geo-target them appropriately; then localizing as much as possible the two versions. if you have prices, convert them in Euros for Ireland. If you can buy an Irish phone number, present it in your contact information and so on; then implementing the hreflang in order to tell Google to show the UK version to British users from Great Britain and the Irish version to Irish users from Ireland. I suggest to not duplicate the blog, because in that case you should be always paying attention in implementing the hreflang correctly every time you publish a new post, and because - a even greater bias - you will have to double your efforts in promoting the blog's content. Remember, then, that backlinks are very helpful also for geotargeting, so try to create content that answers to real needs your geo-targeted audiences have, and remember to dedicate some of your posts to topics particularly urgent for one or the other specific country target.

Hi Peter, The problem here is most likely that you have two nearly-identical sites. It looks like you have tried to re-write content between pages like http://www.gilnahirktyres.co.uk/services/mot-belfast and http://www.belfasttyres.co.uk/services/mot-belfast, but the content is still incredibly similar. Google will still see this as duplicated: the structure of the sites is nearly identical, the paragraph structures are the same, and Google has taken a lot of measures to be able to identify this sort of thing. The reason they have focused on this is because of how easy it was to "spin" content with synonyms, etc. and have it rank well over and over again. Also, http://www.belfasttyres.co.uk/robots.txt does not block all of this duplicate content either. For users' sake, Google does not want to rank the same content more than once so they weed out duplicates that are this extreme. They want to present diverse results that give people as much opportunity to choose as possible. You will need to focus on using just one of these sites, rather than both. It's interesting that the problem is only showing itself on mobile search right now, but I would not be surprised if this rolls out to the index at large.

Thanks very much Kristina. I will look into that.

Thanks very much for the link!!

Can you provide details of the keyword in question? There are many search terms which Google never offer a video result for - simply because it wouldn't be relevant for the term in question. If i search "car insurance" I almost certainly don't want to see a YouTube video. The same is true with Google+ local results, shopping results etc... the explicit and implicit context of the search defines what sort of results are returned. If it's a search term which doesn't match up with what Google deem to be "appropriate" for a video result, you won't get a YouTube video ranked - no matter how strong the page is.

I am a huge fan of Long Tail Pro. You can enter in a few seed keywords and it automatically grabs thousands of related keywords from the Google Keyword Planner (so you don't have to mess with it). Then you can sort and filter by search volume, organic title competition, CPC, etc. But perhaps the most valuable part of it is that is uses Moz's API to determine Keyword Difficulty so you can quickly determine which keywords get a decent number of searches and are not that competitive, aka the Holy Grail of SEO. (I am not affiliated with LTP, just a big advocate of it since it's definitely the best keyword tool I've used in years and it doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in the "mainstream SEO" community. Maybe because the site looks kinda spammy and sales-y but I promise it is legit!)

Okay, thanks very much!
