Google+ Local Business Page not appearing
-
I have a local verified google + listing and recently just went to update it nicely. even though it has been around for months, however Google just can't seem to index it, does anybody know the reason why? I have tried " hard-searching" for it and it is not even indexed!
However if i find hard enough, it will appear in google maps, and also my domain has been around for months, if not a year however under Moz Open Site explorer it indicates it is a super new domain and even alexa is not recognizing any data even though it has traffic.
The only thing i have done is i have shifted servers two months ago. Does that translate to a new site? I hope not...

My pleasure, Partyrocks! Good luck with the work ahead.

Hi Miriam,
Thanks so much for pointing out the specifics as well with actions to take. If there are 10 thumbs up i would have gladly given mine.
The only thing that i regret now is that I have registered google page first instead of google places and they have now merged into one. A local business friend of mine had his google local place verified and his brand image displayed prominently on the right when his brand name is searched.
I think that's what we wanna achieve and at the moment it is not achieved yet. Will work towards that. thanks once again.

Hi Partyrocks,
That's good that you are starting to see your listing show up for important terms. Improving your rankings will depend on a variety of factors including the following:
-
Physical Location in City of Search
-
Citations you've built on 3rd party indexes/directories
-
Reviews you earn
-
Proper category choices
-
The authority of your website
-
Lack of violations on your Google+ Local page
-
Authority of links pointing to your website
These are just a few things, off the top of my head. Edging out competitors means making a greater effort than they are in areas like the above. I would recommend that you do a close study of the most recent Local Search Ranking Factors to consider the top ranking factors, gauge where you are in the process of promoting the business and see where you can focus your energies to improve your visibility. For example, your current Google+ Local page has zero reviews, so this is easy to identify as worthy of effort. Hope this helps!

I actually now begin to see my listing but it is not the top 3 for my keywords and how could i optimize it the top 3?

Hi Miriam,
It is actually a verified Google+ local page AND a Google + page as well. The case it happens is that once you verified local business, it will verify your google + business page and associate itself as a google+ local page. I suppose my google+ page has become a google + local page now.
My listing is here :
https://plus.google.com/103796168795989407712/about?gl=sg&hl=en
Thanks so much for your input and assistance.

Hi Partyrocks,
Do you mean a Google+ Local page or a Google+ page? Sorry, but the terminology is often confusing. There could be a number of reasons your page is not appearing, ranging from ineligibility, to guideline violations, to duplicates. Without being able to see your unique listing, it is unfortunately not possible to diagnose this scenario. If you can share your complete details, including a link to your listing, I'll be happy to take a look. If, for privacy reasons, you cannot share, your best bet would be to hire a high level Local SEO (if it is a Google+ Local page) to do an audit for you in private.

as long as you have the Google+ Page listing verified, it should show up already by now.
I suggest asking here http://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=et&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=us-et-new_PlacesLP_Q22013_community#!forum/business if you are really sure you didnt do anything wrong.

Why is Moz Reporting as Duplicate Page Titles?
Our most recent MOZ crawl campaign is reporting 931 duplicate page title errors, most of which are "Product Review" pages like the following. Although there is only one review on this page, http://www.audiobooksonline.com/Cell_Stephen_King_unabridged_compact_discs.html, MOZ is reporting 15 duplicate page title, four of which I present below. http://www.audiobooksonline.com/reviews/review.php/full/0743554337/0/name/desc

A 301 redirect to a page with a rel canonical to a page with a 301 question...
MOZ registers thousands of DC and Duplicate titles on a Drupal site which has a little strange setup. Example: www.1234.com/en-us 301 redirects to www.realsite.com/en-us which has a rel canonical to www.1234.com which 301 redirects to www.realsite.com. If you're still with me I thank you.

My question is since MOZ registers errors, if indeed the rel canonical isn't recognized due to a 301 redirect?0 -
Duplicate page titles in SEOMoz
My on page reports are showing a good number of duplicate title tags, but they are all because of a url tracking parameter that tells us which link the visitor clicked on. For example, http://www.example.com/example-product.htm?ref=navside and http://www.example.com/example-product.htm are the same page, but are treated as to different urls in SEOMoz. This is creating "fake" number of duplicate page titles in my reports. This has not been a problem with Google, but SEOMoz is treating it like this and it's confusing my data. Is there a way to specify this as a url parameter in the Moz software? Or does anybody have another suggestion? Should I specify this in GWT and BWT?

Fixing the Too Many On-Page Links
In our campaign I see that it reported that some of our pages have too many on-page links. But I think most of the links that was seen by MozBot is related to our images. There are a lot of images in our site and at the same time we support 11 languages which adds additional links One of the pages that have a lot of links is www.florahospitality.com/dining.aspx What can you <a></a>suggest to fix this? Thanks. <a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a>
