Google+ Local Business Page not appearing
-
I have a local verified google + listing and recently just went to update it nicely. even though it has been around for months, however Google just can't seem to index it, does anybody know the reason why? I have tried " hard-searching" for it and it is not even indexed!
However if i find hard enough, it will appear in google maps, and also my domain has been around for months, if not a year however under Moz Open Site explorer it indicates it is a super new domain and even alexa is not recognizing any data even though it has traffic.
The only thing i have done is i have shifted servers two months ago. Does that translate to a new site? I hope not...

My pleasure, Partyrocks! Good luck with the work ahead.

Hi Miriam,
Thanks so much for pointing out the specifics as well with actions to take. If there are 10 thumbs up i would have gladly given mine.
The only thing that i regret now is that I have registered google page first instead of google places and they have now merged into one. A local business friend of mine had his google local place verified and his brand image displayed prominently on the right when his brand name is searched.
I think that's what we wanna achieve and at the moment it is not achieved yet. Will work towards that. thanks once again.

Hi Partyrocks,
That's good that you are starting to see your listing show up for important terms. Improving your rankings will depend on a variety of factors including the following:
-
Physical Location in City of Search
-
Citations you've built on 3rd party indexes/directories
-
Reviews you earn
-
Proper category choices
-
The authority of your website
-
Lack of violations on your Google+ Local page
-
Authority of links pointing to your website
These are just a few things, off the top of my head. Edging out competitors means making a greater effort than they are in areas like the above. I would recommend that you do a close study of the most recent Local Search Ranking Factors to consider the top ranking factors, gauge where you are in the process of promoting the business and see where you can focus your energies to improve your visibility. For example, your current Google+ Local page has zero reviews, so this is easy to identify as worthy of effort. Hope this helps!

I actually now begin to see my listing but it is not the top 3 for my keywords and how could i optimize it the top 3?

Hi Miriam,
It is actually a verified Google+ local page AND a Google + page as well. The case it happens is that once you verified local business, it will verify your google + business page and associate itself as a google+ local page. I suppose my google+ page has become a google + local page now.
My listing is here :
https://plus.google.com/103796168795989407712/about?gl=sg&hl=en
Thanks so much for your input and assistance.

Hi Partyrocks,
Do you mean a Google+ Local page or a Google+ page? Sorry, but the terminology is often confusing. There could be a number of reasons your page is not appearing, ranging from ineligibility, to guideline violations, to duplicates. Without being able to see your unique listing, it is unfortunately not possible to diagnose this scenario. If you can share your complete details, including a link to your listing, I'll be happy to take a look. If, for privacy reasons, you cannot share, your best bet would be to hire a high level Local SEO (if it is a Google+ Local page) to do an audit for you in private.

as long as you have the Google+ Page listing verified, it should show up already by now.
I suggest asking here http://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=et&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=us-et-new_PlacesLP_Q22013_community#!forum/business if you are really sure you didnt do anything wrong.

Page Ranking by URL / Keyword
Needing to know how to find out the page rank of a URL that is NOT within the top 50 or top 100. Need to know that specific page's rank, not what our overall site's ranking for the keyword is. Can't seem to find any tool that goes beyond the top 100. Any ideas?

Seomoz legacy pages?
Hello, I am finding that I miss several of the old seomoz sections. The legacy tools in particular like the visual website comparison. Where is that now? Also, where is the ongoing list of the top 100 sites? So much was lost in the shift to MOZ, I hope some of the good old stuff is still available. Thank you, Nolan

Unable to crawl pages
Hi, I am trying to set up a campaign for our website - www.salvationarmy.org.au however, I can't seem to get a scan of more than three pages. I have tried the following: www.salvationarmy.org.au (only 2 pages) www.salvationarmy.org.au/home (only 1 page) salvationarmy.org.au (only 3 pages) There is a geo IP redirect on www.salvationarmy.org.au but the second domain listed above should resolve the full site. I'm a newbie to SEOmoz so any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Mel

Rankings in Google UK
Hi there, Can someone explain the difference between the results in Google UK - the default is 'The Web', whereas I can opt to choose 'Pages from the UK'. My question is: If I'm tracking rankings for Google United Kingdom in SEOMoz, is it tracking the results from 'Pages from the UK' or the default setting of 'The Web'? Are there any statistics on how many people choose to see 'Pages from the UK'? Thanks

Page and Domain Authority and other bits
Hi, I am in the process of finding blogs to have a few articles published with a couple of links in each. Articles will all be unique and relevant to the link I drop in and relevant in someway to the reader However I have a few questions. My site is a designer menswear site, so I have picked fashion and sports sites first and foremost to have the articles published. Now, I have a guy who owns about 30 different websites. 2 of them are sports based and about 10 are fashion based. Around $10-$15 an article. I have ran them all through the Open Site Explorer Tool and picked out the best ranked ones. Now my problem is, how do I know if its a good site to not only list an article on, but to pay for it as well. The sites page ranks are around the 30-45 range, the domains are around the 35-45 range. What is a good range to have? I know the higher the better but is 30-45 good enough to pay for? (I don't mind paying the $10 each (£7 my money) for each one) Also as he is quoted me in dollars, I assume there all USA based, so majority of users are USA based. Well I am UK based and only ship to the UK. Will this matter as much if I am trying to gain backlinks? Obviously a UK based site, would be ideal, but is it a case of getting more external links on the web for Google to find, as long as they are relevant to the user? Any help would be great. Thanks Will
