Hey everyone!
I have a service business (video production), and I offer both business and wedding work. I was advised by a mentor to create two individual websites, and social media pages. Soon to be married couples don't care about business work, and businesses don't care about weddings. I understand that.
I have one single Google Business Profile listing which goes directly to my "main" website. Underneath the description I have "video production service" listed as my main category, and "wedding service" listed underneath.
My wedding website has a blog, reviews, breakdown of service, using the main h1 tags as typically advised, not just stuffing keywords unnecessarily
My main website has no blog, but has a better breakdown of services..
My websites both live on Squarespace.
I am getting nearly zero search traffic on either of my websites. Also, my Google Business Profile has only ever had a maximum of 9 interactions in a month. it's usually between 1-3.
I don't have the budget for the experts that I've spoken too. I know that it's worth it. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't have the budget for it at the moment.
Would love some insight or guidance from those that know more than me!
Thank you so much!
What could be average per day organic clicks for local business (let's say bus rent Dubai local business? Or rent a car business) which would consider good.
I have found an expired domain (travel niche) which have some decent quality backlinks. Is it worth buying and upload our travel nich contents?
Hi there,
So recently i quit doing SaaS because i got bored of the model and i feel like some genuine human connection with customers wouldn’t be that bad.
I did programmatic SEO for a lot of SaaS projects of mine and some of my friends in the past and i am kind of really good at doing pSEO for framer and webflow websites.
And i want to open an agency in this field doing what i explained above.
I did a similar post a few days ago here and i got some great advice from someone saying that it would probably be a good idea to work under another company. Like a contractor or sth. This way i can get some more experience and also get used to the agency life until i figure it out how to get customers of my own.
So i am wondering if any of you here need or already offer pSEO services in your agency, shoot me a dm?
hi guys! how's your traffic from seo source been going? i am still learning how to run it in a better way, seo/ppc, any tips from experienced affiliates?
After a phone interview I moved to the next step but they are asking for a proposal on what I would optimize for their site. Is this normal?
Hi everyone,
I’m facing an issue with my website’s indexing on Google. Recently, my site experienced a spike in traffic, after which Google stopped indexing it, citing redirect issues. Here’s what I’ve checked so far:
1. Google Penalty: My site is not banned or penalized on Google.
2. Cloudflare Settings: I have Cloudflare configured to allow verified bots, so Googlebot should have access.
3. Server Settings: My hosting provider confirmed that they are not redirecting or blocking bots.
I also resolved any redirect chains, but Google Search Console is still showing a 429 (Too Many Requests) error, preventing indexing. Direct access to the site works fine for users, but automated checks (like redirect checkers and Search Console) encounter this issue.
Has anyone else encountered something similar? What other settings or configurations could be causing Google to see a 429 error? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
What ever we Type in Google AI answer the questions and we don't need Any further investigation or browsing Website Listed By Google and these days Nobody really wants to Read Long article so My queries to my fellow Blogger Mates is in such Cases How we can take a blog As profitable business can anyone explain the Insights on This.
I have some new content I published that is better than my older content. Do you think I should go back to old pages and link to the new content or is that a no-no?
Curious if anyone has experience doing this and how it worked out.
Here is our background. We cover a large service area in Texas and want to increase our ranking outside our home county (we hide our address and use a service area; we travel and deliver to our customers). We do well in our home county but most of our business is in larger neighboring counties where we have competition actually based. Our GMB has been optimized for 5 years, consistently get 2 5 star reviews a week totaling more than the 8 competitors I have in the 9 county service area (7mill population) We are thinking of greatly increasing local content directed at those cities within those counties to compete organically.
· Will this content strategy work? If so, what type of content works best? · Are there better strategies, or additional things we can do? · As I go, I’ll be doing a cost / benefit of spending more $ and time on SEO vs just spending more on PPC.
I’m Interested in other strategies to accomplish my goal of ranking higher in a neighboring county than my competitors who are based there. We have a decent budget, but hiring a firm costs a lot for what I considered lazy and wrong content for our company and even industry.
I have a website offering services to a wide variety of industries (I.e., “tax preparation for small businesses”). The main site is intentionally broad and doesn’t target specific businesses.
However, I’d like to test the waters in a niche I think could be lucrative (I.e., “tax preparation for architects”). Should I create a separate, but related, website for this, or a subsection of my current website?
I hesitate to build this as a subsection because I don’t want to give my main clients the impression that I only serve or specialize in the “architect” niche.
If I build a separate site, any best practices to be aware of?
Today I was searching for "X dollars to pounds"
And in the search results it would show exactly that same title for sites like Wise, Revolut etc..
I can change this to any arbitrary number like: 14773 and there will a result for it. I also see this happen with unit conversion like miles to km.
How can Google index seemingly infinite pages of these site? Im pretty sure they are not in a sitemap or linked.
Additional info they all seem to be getting an amount=X
in the url which leads me to believe this is some kind integration, but I cannot find any info on it.
I have been seeing a lot of businesses building free tools (which are related and supplement to their main product) for people to use to get traffic to the main website and get customers to their main products. I think this can be a way to save money and get long-term traffic for businesses who have been paying a tons of money for Google ads. The benefit is huge. I'm offering to research on the tools/keywords your competitors have built to get traffic and I will build it, customized to your business. Feel free to leave a comment or DM to talk more about this.
We recently launched 200 new content pages, which brought in many leads. Seeing success, we expanded with 695 more pages targeting hyper-specific keywords, boosting traffic further. To perfect our SEO, I restructured URLs to a more logical hierarchy (using 301 redirects), but this led to a traffic drop and indexing errors in Google Search Console.
One directory seems fixed, but the largest still has over 900 URLs pending validation after four days, with some initial errors showing up. Traffic remains down, and I’m eager to restore it.
How long does GSC validation typically take? Any advice on actions to help while waiting? Business was growing, and now it's stalled—no leads in over a week. 😢
We normally don't post much on Reddit but I know there's been a lot of chatter about the Google Web Creator Conversation Event.
As background, I'm not an SEO expert. I've been travel blogging for 12 years and have just had to pick up things along the way and try things - many of which are shared amongst the travel creator circles.
BAD
GOOD
So yes, I know some of the attendees felt like this was more like attending a funeral. I'd like to think that we were given a sliver of hope. Hope doesn't pay the bills though...
I've written a retrospective of the whole event so if you're interested, feel free to DM.
My website name is peanutmasala.com , where my keyword is having high search volume.
Where my keyword is peanut masala
Lot of spam score build up.without doing any thing of seo
I tried my best to resolve the problem of deranking on the website. But I get nothing.
So, in August 2024, many of the keywords are ranked on the first page and have the top position, and I get daily 1000+ impressions and 100+ clicks.
But starting in September, it's going to be down day by day, and today I have no single-ranked keyword and have 0 impressions on the website.
I noticed that all of my pages are indexed, but they aren't visible on the Google search and even not mentioned in the last page.
It is only visible by searching domain name or keyword with domain name. Anyone have any solution that will recover the reach...
Hey guys,
Hope someone can help. I recently moved from WordPress to Shopify three days ago, and since then, my traffic has dropped by at least 600% (from around 1k visitors a day to just 400). To note, the main two keywords that bring in about 90% of my traffic are still ranking on the SERP (first page, right at the top). I've checked the links for those keywords, and they're working fine.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this drop? I double-checked on GSC, and my top three keywords are still there, still ranking #1, and the links work. I can tell something's up with the SEO, as I do have some broken links and duplicate links on the SERP, etc., which I’m working on fixing (already hired someone for that). Still, I can’t quite figure out how these issues could have such a huge impact when the main links that drive sales are still ranked and visible.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Thanks in advance!!
A Competitor made a fake replica website slandering my business, how do i take their site down?
looking for a pro-active approach to guarantee it's removed rather than just "reporting" it, any experts or companies that carry out these services?
I've never been in such a situation before, so please excuse my naivety on the matter. Any help would be really appreciated
So I've been working in SEO for about 4ish years and I've been really wanting to make my specialty local SEO. I know there are a bunch of resources out there from Whitespark to Greg Gifford's Local Search Tuesdays, but I'm curious to know if anyone has any other tips for getting really good at Local SEO and the key pieces that are necessary. Also if anyone has any tips for local SEO tools, I'd welcome those as well. Thanks y'all!
If I want my site content to rank for certain keywords (but I don't want these certain keywords actually externally displayed because they don't follow brand standards), how can I do that?
Hi guys, I mainly have a background in web development and I have an interview for an SEO role, I would like to ask if anyone can message me on private message to lend me a hand. In order to do the interview, first I need to do a test and I want to check that I have done it correctly. Thank you for your time guys and I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!
Looking through this community, I did not see anything related to customers that use an AI tool to create a review on a product or service and its impact on search engine discoverability.
My company uses a 3rd party review platform to send review requests to our customers and when they are filled out, those reviews are posted on our website. BUT, if the customer uses something like ChatGPT to create the review, will those reviews get "dinged" by search engines and not appear in any results? Will the presence of one or two of these AI-generated reviews cause all reviews on the page to not appear in search results?
Hello, Would it be wise to set up a 301 redirect on a page that has been cannibalizing one of my main keywords for some time?
Here’s the context:
The page in question has no internal links or backlinks. It is semantically unoptimized and already links to the page I want to rank. However, it sometimes manages to outrank the target page in search results.
PS : The pages are on the same KW.
Do you think a 301 redirect could solve this cannibalization issue, or are there other solutions I should consider?
Hello Everyone.
I started doing SEO roughly 3 months ago due to making my own website for my real estate business.
I want to increase number of clicks & eventually turn them in to sign-up lead.
I do see that number of clicks/impressions going up but not as much as I want it & not getting much sing up as well.
Currently at 300 clicks & 12.6k impressions total. But half came from last 28 months & roughly 20% came from last 7 days (58 clicks and 2.3k impressions. (From GSC)
My location, competition isn’t too strong. I started seeing top keywords ranking top 20s & low/very little traffic keyword to top 5. (Currently at 115 keywords according to semrush free version.)
What I have done so far
Bought website domain through godaddy & hosting the website through CRM company
paid 3rd party to make main landing page & initial set up on site SEO (through AI generated content, for location, price and other pages)
bought backlink from fiverr 😂 would never do it again. Didn’t know better.
Now I have been writing contents for my Real estate website using AI, generate topic/do minor edit and post. (About 2-3 post a week)
So this is what I need help with & feedback
*Method of obtaining backlink without spending money
*how I can go about finding high traffic keyword in my niche. I use semrush to look at competitors keyword but there are limits.
Thank you!
