Is there a way to get your local SERP by zipcode?
-
I have multiple stores across various zipcodes and i'm having difficulty trying to provide an average Positioning on SERP by region. I do know that your SERP varies by region because different areas use different vernaculars. Does anyone know of a way that I can provide a SERP for keywords/terms by county or zip code?
-
The task I was given was to find the average search engine ranking for the "Brand Name". My company has multiple stores in all the states in the US. Lets say over 150+ stores, How would I check the search engine rank position for "brand name " or "Keywords" by either zip code/city/state
-
Strange I'm not seeing that with Chrome.

Hey Ruben,
Let me know your findings Please :)!
-
Brilliant, Chris.
-
As it seems a few people are responding with " I don't knows" here are some examples
Number 1 -
Number 2 -
A Proxy (HMA in this example)
Number 3 -
Number 4-
https://www.georanker.com/#/ <- Found after a quick Google
Hopefully one of those is helpful and no one has an excuse for "i don't know" Feel free to add any more you find helpful

I don't know of any software that can do that, but your question inspired me to look for some. Allegedly, serps.com can. I have absolutely no idea if this is true or accurate. But I'm signing up for their free trial. I'll let you know what I find out!
Good luck!
Ruben

Hi,
Sorry the Proxy is another thing try looking at Hide My ass
The Moz overlay I can't stand the chrome version one bit so not sure where it is ( I believe in the top area) so I'm happy with the Firefox version. Here it is in the Firefox - http://imgur.com/3XvXZad

I know you can use Google's Adpreview Tool to see how your paid listings appear for different locations (down to zip code). I'm not aware of anything like that for organic listings, however. And anyway, there's no way to automate that process.
Here's a totally hypothetical, non-tested approach that might work: What if you used a proxy tool like Proxybonanza with a simple desktop rank-checking tool like Web CEO or Traffic Travis. (These really have nothing on Moz in terms of feature set, but rank tracking isn't terribly complicated as far as SEO tools go.) I would assume that when you run a desktop rank tracker through a proxy (especially if you can define where the proxy locale is), the results would be for that location. That said, I have no idea whether it's possible at all to find and use proxies for a specific zip codes. So all this may just be me being dumb.
Again, that's a completely non-validated approach. Just trying to help you think outside the box. My level of local-SEO expertise stops at the country level. And even there, I've got a lot yet to learn.

Hey Thanks for the response but I to am using the moz tool bar but on chrome I cant seem to find the Proxy. Where on the tool bar are you looking?
-
You can try a proxy and use a proxy via region to view them. The Moz tool bar (I'm using Firefox) has a control panel that lets you customize the search results by region (though not sure how accurate this is).
I believe some tracking software can also do it for you too - Serpbook is one such.
That's the first few that come to mind, hope one helps.

Local Landing Page Optimization and Multiple GMB Listings
Hello, We’re building out a site for our business that has close to 100 office locations in different cities. Many of these are ‘partner brands’ that we have acquired under our brand. Similar to a franchise model. We want to be able to help users find offices near their location. Each office will have it’s own landing page with a physical address and contact information. We know we’ll have to build out unique copy and markup customized to the office/location. We’ve already read through https://moz.com/blog/overcoming-your-fear-of-local-landing-pages as well. We’re also considering ‘silos’ to build out pages for each location. To preserve authority and avoid cannibalization; our thought was having each location as sub-folders off of our domain (i.e. domain.com/locations/Partner#1/). The other option would be using a sub-domain (i.e. Partner.Domain.com/) which we noticed competitors doing and treating each sub-domain as their own independent site. Is all of the above the correct strategy? Any further suggestions? Should we fill out a separate GMB for each office and should they all use the same brand name? (in other words “BrandA” vs. “BrandA” - Brooklyn Office). In addition to GMB; would each location need local listings created (also all under the same name)? Any help or insight would be very much appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance. Best,

Local Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries Disappearing from Google Maps when Plurals used.
This is the second time I have posted this question and never got a satisfactory result. I have an SEO client in Tacoma Wa and when you type (Dispensaries Near Tacoma they are in the Top 3 snack pack and the Google maps shows 20 other similar businesses. However, when you search (Dispensary Near Tacoma) only 3 or 5 recreational marijuana shops show up and my client disappears. Someone earlier suggested it could be because of the categories selection, but that can't affect ALL the other shops and like I said it happens in other cities. for example Dispensary Near Olympia vs Dispensaries Near Olympia. I have the full write up and pictures and diagrams on my blog. Please HELP! This could affect your future clients also. https://isenselogic.com/local-business-disappearing-on-google-maps-when-plurals-used/

Multiple language in site links on SERP
hi there guys! I have this client that sells roofing reparation. His site is in two languages. In this image here, the green square are the results in english and red square in french. The picture is from a english SERP. What would you guys do to make sure that the SERP shows the right language to users on Google? It is very important for us to have both language separated. Our region is bilingual so, it's a big problem! The original language of the site is in french and I don't have any problem with this version. But when i checked the english side, there is this problem... mixing language in the SERP is not very good for my ROI. Thanks guys! toiture2.png

How to deal with wrong location in Google SERP
Hi, If I understand correctly, Google provides search results based on the location of the user. That's fine, because most of my clients are local. But if I look at my own search results, Google thinks I'm in a totally different town. Most likely based on my IP address. Of course I can solve that for myself, but the same goes for my potential clients. Is there a way to deal with this, from an seo perspective? For instance find out where most of the the IP providers are located and target that location?

Google My Business- Will a large service area dilute local search results?
I am considering adding our actual service area to our Google My Business profile, but I don't want this to dilute our local search results. As it is, we come up in the top 3 or so when searched in our HQ's city and several nearby cities when you search for us in Google Maps (although when I look at the top 10 organic for Google for some reason when you search for these cities + our keywords Google doesn't show any local results). Our actual service area is fairly large, comprising the states of CA & Hawaii & parts of CO, AZ, and UT. I would be adding the service area by zip code rather than radius, as a radius wouldn't make any sense in this case (particularly considering the distance between HI and CA). Is it better to keep our relatively high ranking in local results? Will adding the service area not affect local results negatively? Also, do you know why Google isn't showing me local results when I look for our keywords + our nearby cities? When I look for these keywords in larger cities like LA or San Diego, Google always shows me local results.

What would Cause listing to fall off local search map spot?
Any reason a listing that was showing in Google between the 3 and 5 spot on local map search would suddenly disappear all together from the map position for a specific keyword?

Google is associating the wrong address with my website in SERPs
I've dealt with submitting address change information to Google (and Yelp, YP, etc.) when they have somehow scraped the wrong address or phone number. This is a little different. I work for the parent company with multiple companies of similar names making up the family of companies. What's happening is that people are searching for one of our companies (Lynden Transport) and getting the correct website results to pop up, but the address/phone # shown below the URL and in the local results screen is for one of our other companies (LTI, Inc.). Customers should be seeing a Fife, WA address but instead are seeing one for Lynden, WA. I've attached a marked up screenshot to better those what is happening. At least customers are generally finding their way to our company but it's causing quite a headache for our customer service reps and customers as they get transferred back and forth on the phone, and confusion for customers unfamiliar with our office locations. I've clicked on the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom of Google and explained what was happening, but beyond that I'm not sure what to do. The information presented isn't wrong, it's just being associated with the wrong company. It seems like a Google logic error and not something I can control or edit. Any ideas? moz-ltia.jpg
