      Hi All,

      I ask the question as I was trying to GeoTarget tool which happened to not recognise a business address I place in the footer on one of my sites.

      The tool states that including the address on page helps the search engines identify your location, so I'm curious whether a specific format works best when optimizing for local search?

      Thanks.

        Thanks for the replies.  The site is for a law firm so yes, most clients visit the office. So I will stylise  a  vCard formatted address and placing it high up as suggested.

        Then will see if the geotarget tool picks it up..

        @David - the tool is the seomoz tool : http://www.seomoz.org/geotarget

              I don't agree with David but he might know better.

              In my opinion you should use the less relevant real estate of the site/pages - footer will be just great for both users and Google (to spot it on every page).

              However this is just an opinion but I am sure the placement of the address within the site or a particular page is not "more relevant" for google depending on the position. It just needs to be present.

              Hope it helps.

                All I could really say is the higher up the better. However, it depends upon the context of the website.

                If you are trying to run a local directory site, it's ideal if you have the location/info/image and relevant information as high as possible.

                If it's a website and you have footer information with your business address, that is perfectly fine.

                What GeoTarget tool are you using?

                  Unsolved Questions about travel industry keywords

                  travel industry

                  My question is regarding my current learning of SEO and keyword research. I have been leaning towards Keyword Everywhere, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner for keyword research. What do you recommend? I know you might suggest Moz, but I'm looking for something that will enhance and help me find valuable keywords for the travel niche. If I sign up with Moz, will someone from the team help me with keyword research for the travel niche and my website? I haven't found any resources or lessons specifically focused on travel websites and their keywords.

                  There are a large number of missing backlinks (old) which are not showing on Moz but do show on Ahrefs. Is there a reason for this? Thanks.

                  Is there a whitelist of the RogerBot IP Addresses?

                  I'm all for letting Roger crawl my site, but it's not uncommon for malicious spiders to spoof the User-Agent string. Having a whitelist of Roger's IP addresses would be immensely useful!
