      In David Mihm's article on Local Search Ranking Factors, he lists "HTML NAP Matching Place Page NAP". What is this exactly?

        What if your client uses telephone tracking. The telephone numbers will have the city/state suffix, but it will always be different?

          Hi Doug,

          Yes you are correct... it just refers to the "landing page" on your actual website from your +Local page.

          Example:

          https://plus.google.com/113365835129585106743/about?hl=en

          http://www.jhbathrooms.com/showroom/blackburn

          Cheers

            Thanks guys, this does help. I completely understand NAP, but wasn't sure what was meant by HTML NAP Matching. I wasn't sure if this was referring to a specific rich code snippet or something like that which I believe is what Greg is referring to.

            Thank you!

            Doug

              Hi Doug,

              Mike already answered your question actually, but I just wanted to add a few extra tips...

              • Title tag: try to include your +Local Business Title and Location
              • URL: also try to include the city/town name on your website's +Local "landing page"
              • Also try to add your exact +Local Business Title in the H1 tag
              • Code your contact info according to schema.org

              Hope the above helps a little?

              Cheers

              Greg

                Name.
                Address.
                Phone Number.

                Just make sure that your website is matching your Google Places page and any other business directories you list in. The consistency helps ensure that you are the specified business.

                Makes sense?

                  Is it ok to repeat a (focus) keyword used on a previous page, on a new page?

                  I am cataloguing the pages on our website in terms of which focus keyword has been used with the page. I've noticed that some pages repeated the same keyword / term. I've heard that it's not really good practice, as it's like telling google conflicting information, as the pages with the same keywords will be competing against each other. Is this correct information? If so, is the alternative to use various long-winded keywords instead? If not, meaning it's ok to repeat the keyword on different pages, is there a maximum recommended number of times that we want to repeat the word? Still new-ish to SEO, so any help is much appreciated! V.

                  Page rank and menus

                  Hi, My client has a large website and has a navigation with main categories. However, they also have a hamburger type navigation in the top right. If you click it it opens to a massive menu with every category and page visible. Do you know if having a navigation like this bleeds page rank? So if all deep pages are visible from the hamburger navigation this means that page rank is not being conserved to the main categories. If you click a main category in the main navigation (not the hamburger) you can see the sub pages. I think this is the right structure but the client has installed this huge menu to make it easier for people to see what there is. From a technical SEO  is this not bad?

                  If a page ranks in the wrong country and is redirected, does that problem pass to the new page?

                  Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem: A new multilingual site was launched about 2 months ago. It has correct hreflang tags and Geo targetting in GSC for every language version. We redirected some relevant pages (with good PA) from another website of our client's. It turned out that the pages were not ranking in the correct country markets (for example, the en-gb page ranking in the USA). The pages from our site seem to have the same problem. Do you think they inherited it due to the redirects? Is it possible that Google will sort things out over some time, given the fact that the new pages have correct hreflangs? Is there stuff we could do to help ranking in the correct country markets?

                  Using hreflang for international pages - is this how you do it?

                  My client is trying to achieve a global presence in select countries, and then track traffic from their international pages in Google Analytics. The content for the international pages is pretty much the same as for USA pages, but the form and a few other details are different due to how product licensing has to be set up. I don’t want to risk losing ranking for existing USA pages due to issues like duplicate content etc. What is the best way to approach this? This is my first foray into this and I’ve been scanning the MOZ topics but a number of the conversations are going over my head,so suggestions will need to be pretty simple 🙂 Is it a case of adding hreflang code to each page and creating different URLs for tracking. For example:
                  URL for USA: https://company.com/en-US/products/product-name/
                  URL for Canada: https://company.com/en-ca/products/product-name /
                  URL for German Language Content: https://company.com/de/products/product-name /
                  URL for rest of the world: https://company.com/en/products/product-name /

                  Merging Pages and SEO

                  Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
                  e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
                  Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
                  e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
                  What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
                  Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,

                  Should my back links go to home page or internal pages

                  Right now we rank on page 2 for many KWs, so should i now focus my attention on getting links to my home page to build domain authority or continue to direct links to the internal pages for specific KWs? I am about to write some articles for several good ranking sites and want to know whether to link my company name (same as domain name) or KW to the home page or use individual KWs to the internal pages - I am only allowed one link per article to my site. Thanks Ash

                  How To 301 Redirect .html pages

                  I need to redirect a page/URL that is purely .html to a new location.  I don't know how to do this.  All the redirects I can find are for server side code pages .php/.aspx etc.  From my understanding I can't put a server side redirect in a .html file.  I am hosting on a microsoft server, however the new page I am redirecting to is .php.  I am running some WordPress (.php) files on the server.  I need to make it redirect before the old page loads so visitors don't start reading something that is about to get redirected Can someone please help me?

                  Should the sitemap include just menu pages or all pages site wide?

                  I have a Drupal site that utilizes Solr, with 10 menu pages and about 4,000 pages of content. Redoing a few things and we'll need to revamp the sitemap. Typically I'd jam all pages into a single sitemap and that's it, but post-Panda, should I do anything different?
