Hi Nick,
Your citations should all list the same URL if you are dealing with a single physical address. Citations may or may not act as followed links for your business, so in building them, earning links is not really the primary goal. Rather, you are building citations to be sure your local business' name, address, phone number and website are consistently distributed across a wide variety of local business platforms.

So online citatatios NAP on yelp, yell etc should not be all home page for my site but other pages too?
-
If you are wanting to target multiple keywords then it obviously makes sense to utilize some of your other website pages to rank for those keywords. If one of your other pages answers questions or provides information on a specific topic then I would try to get relevant blogs other websites to link back to that specific page. For example, if your page discusses the benefits of animal adoption, then it would be beneficial if the local Humane Society linked to it.

That´s not good, you should distribute your backlinks in different urls and not always the home. I would recommend you to start to do it

Geo Tags for Yellow pages
Hello, I am new here, and I hope you can help me with Geo Tags. I am the owner of one of the biggest yellow pages in Lithuania, so I hope you don't mind that you won't understand what's written in the page. The url is https://www.spec.lt Every single company that is based in Lithuania is divided into some kind of "activity" that they do. For example "Metal". And they are attached to that activity as the all the other companies that do that - https://www.spec.lt/veikla/metalai

But everyone is search for businesses that are closer to them, for example companies that are based in the same city, like Vilnius. (The capital of Lithuania for those who don't know that) 😄 So the url would be this: https://www.spec.lt/veikla/metalai/vilniujeThe questions is: Should we include geo tags in this page like this: Generated by geo-tag.de ? Our competitors don't do that but sites like yellowpages.com do that (I believe). The other question would be https://www.spec.lt/veikla/metalai should the main category URL have something like that: Shoving that is for Lithuania (the domain is already .lt - google webmaster associates it with Lithuania). The last question is what about the company URL page: https://www.spec.lt/imone/a-lygio-reklama-uab
Should we include geo tags of this company in this page even tho the company works in the whole Lithuania not only in one city ? The problem is: there are so many companies, that we don't know if they work in the whole country or only the part of it. So I hope for the answer that helps to find the best solution. Thank you!0 -
Page options under title tag: Can we set these?
Hi all, Under many title tags, you see a list of sub-pages that Google suggests. So, if you search for Amazon, for example, it'll show you 6 options: Full Shop Directory - Try Prime Books - CDs & Vinyl Your account - Today's deals Can you dictate these choices with markup? Cheers, Rhys

Why are my citations not showing up?
We're managing a website for a client and decided to use Yext to build citations. We've gone through and manually verified that they are live. Moz Local cannot find this website or the citations, nor could Ahrefs, or Majestic. Google has indexed 154 pages of the website, Bing has indexed 10. This dealer has two websites (I know that's a faux pas, it's by client request), so that they can "test" our website before giving up their old one. They're tied to the same NAP, but have different web addresses. We got permission to claim the listings for the website we sent live and put them up about two months ago. I can't figure out for the life of me why none of my tools will verify the existence of this website and the citations. I checked for a no index and no follow command in the HTML (which shouldn't be a problem because Google has indexed the site) and it was clean. The only thing I can think of is that the old site is getting credit for the citations even though we've listed a different website address. Can anyone verify this?

Is it possible to use sub URLs in Citations?
Hello, One of my client has business in 5 different locations so he has URL's like: "www.abc.com/city-service" for which he has listing verified in each location. I can certainly say that Google Business allow sub pages URL in citations (correct me if I am wrong). I am not sure if it is possible to use the sub URL's like: www.abc.com/city-service in different citations websites? Also, if this would be a good approach or not? Please help me. Sam

A customer made a duplicate google plus page, now what?
A customer of mine went to a business conference about a year ago and one of the speakers told them of the importance of having an optimized google plus page. Instead of talking to me about it, they went ahead and created a brand new page and began posting content and reviews to it. I've contacted google and they've told me they deleted the first page, but it still always shows up in the local search results even though the new page has much more content on it. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation that could help me? I have them ranking #2 organic, but barely showing up local...

Transferring SEO services from one agency to another - troubles, concerns, etc.?
Hey Moz Community, I have a friend I'm asking for who has an agency and will be taking over SEO from another agency. One thing that worries me is that the agency has confirmed dozens of locations in Google Places (about 60-100) for this business. How would you transfer Google Places ownership (assuming they cooperate)? Could the previous agency delete these listings? If so, how would that affect Local SEO? For example, the location and phone number is already on the website. Isn't that good enough for all of these locations (about 100)? I hope this is clear; please let me know if not. I would be interested in hearing any other feedback about moving agencies. Thanks, Cole
