Google Ignoring region settings on contact pages
-
-
Turns out a lot of regions were not set up in Search console. I've added and directed them to the correct regions now.
Fingers crossed Google will correct itself soon as our results look very messy currently.
Thanks again, Kate

Very welcome! Let me know what happens!

Hi Kate, yes you're correct, it's our local distributors' that have flagged this issue.
"But in the light of geotargeting, to double check, have you claimed domain.com/fr in Search Console and targeted it at France?"
I think you're on to something. I'm going to check it out and let you know. Thanks again Kate.
-
Who is they? I assume that means you are hearing this from your local distributor in France or customers there?
I can confirm that you have hreflang set up correctly. I've always personally had an issue with setting up HREFLANG when you mean regional geolocation, but the rest of the international SEO field disagrees with me.
But in the light of geotargeting, to double check, have you claimed domain.com/fr in Search Console and targeted it at France?

Hi Kate, we believe they are searching for our Brand+Contact.

What search term are you using when checking what page is showing for France based contact information?

Single page website vs Google
Hi, I was wondering on this issue: There is a website for guesthouse. It has all information on one page (it is a valid page, with legitimate content). How google treats those pages? Would it treat it as Doorway Page? Or give some other penalties? What about a bounce rate? Because it will be pretty high, as there is no option to go somewhere else? What is your opinion on single page websites - SEO wise? Is it a shot in the foot? Thanks!

Are image pages considered 'thin' content pages?
I am currently doing a site audit. The total number of pages on the website are around 400... 187 of them are image pages and coming up as 'zero' word count in Screaming Frog report. I needed to know if they will be considered 'thin' content by search engines? Should I include them as an issue? An answer would be most appreciated.

Duplicate page errors from pages don't even exist
Hi, I am having this issue within SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnosis report. There are a lot of crawl errors happening with pages don't even exist. My website has around 40-50 pages but SEO report shows that 375 pages have been crawled. My guess is that the errors have something to do with my recent htaccess configuration. I recently configured my htaccess to add trailing slash at the end of URLs. There is no internal linking issue such as infinite loop when navigating the website but the looping is reported in the SEOmoz's report. Here is an example of a reported link: http://www.mywebsite.com/Door/Doors/GlassNow-Services/GlassNow-Services/Glass-Compliance-Audit/GlassNow-Services/GlassNow-Services/Glass-Compliance-Audit/ btw there is no issue such as crawl error in my Google webmaster tool. Any help appreciated

Why are Google search results different if you are log'd into Google or not?
I get different results when I'm log'd into my Google account associated with my website than if I'm not. The same country is occurring. So how can I rely on the google results I'm seeing? For instance my site is page 1 with the improvements I made based on SEOMOZ if I'm log'd in. Yet I'm not on the first 25 pages if I'm not logged in.

Rel=author: Which Google+ profile do I use (personal profiles or profiles set up under company email domain)?
Since our organization uses Google Business Apps, everyone in our org has a Google account under our company's domain name. When Google+ came out a lot of our employees set up two separate Google+ accounts (one under their work email address and one under their personal email address). Some people use one account more than the other. I'm about to set up rel=author on our blog, but I'm not sure which profiles to link to: personal account, business account or the account the individual uses the most?
