Hi GR,
I am using google.ae. yea I know its just a metrics. When I search with Ab express in google.ae the abexpress.ae is not in the first page. There are many other websites with the same name nut from different countries. Yea site is online for just few months now and it doesnt have enough history too.

Hello there!
Happy new Year for you too.Which country are you using to search? As your TLD is .ae you should use google.ae.
Check here ( https://www.google.ae/#q=ab+express ), you do appear in the first page.On one hand, I'm not finding any major issue. It may be that your site does not have enough history (this is how long it's been online), or that you have very few backlinks (ahrefs found 1, majestic found 2 and moz found 1) or it may be that there are really few searches and you never get a click through google search.
All these, are some of the more important things that google takes into consideration to say whether your site is "relevant" for a certain search or not.On the other hand, Moz's metrics aren't absolute. So you shouldn't be driven by PA, DA or whatever. Moz tries to say how likely is a page to rank, but they are not inside google's algorithm. There are thousands of items that google considers that cant be considered by Moz or any other SERP tool.
Hope I've helped.

Hello!.
Im really sorry, cant help you here.
I've never had to verify the address with another method than receiving the card. -
Hi,
I have another question. I have created the google business account for abexpress. But in address field I cant enter the P.O box as and takes only physical address. I havent received the card yet.Is there any other way to verify the business?
-
@Gaston thanks for the quick response
-
There's no ultimate need in setting the preferred language and country. it's desirable to set those. At least so Google knows where are you Targeting
-
@Gaston,
Yes the site has only 7 pages.
1. The site was launched 3 months ago.
2. Webmaster tool account has been set up
2. We haven't configured the preferred language and country. we offer services within UAE, GCC, Levant countries and North Africa. So should we set this option?
-
Hi,
Yeap you should have a robots.txt file, even if you dont want to block any URL.Im checking with a crawler (SpiderFrog) and you have only 7 URL accessible. Are all those the URLs you want to be indexed?
http://abexpress.ae/
http://abexpress.ae/terms-conditions
http://abexpress.ae/industries
http://abexpress.ae/about
http://abexpress.ae/services
http://abexpress.ae/contact
http://abexpress.ae/faqsJust to be sure:
- how long has this site been up?
- Have you created a Search Console account for this site? Have you upload the Sitemap to that account?
- Have you configured the preferred domain? And what about the preferred language/country?

Hi Gatson,
Should we use robots.txt file if I dont want to block any urls?
-
Hi Gaston,
THanks you so much for your response. I will look into it.

Hello,
Your site does appear when searching for the domain itself. Take a look at this screenshot:
https://gyazo.com/471d935ab33651527a53c3b9436b44bcRegarding the DA, remember that it is a metric from moz that analyzes the links pointing to your domain (mainly) and then it offers a number stating how likely that domain may rank.
You shouldn't focus in incrementing the DA itself. There are other issues and ideas where to spend your time and money.
One of the issues is that you don't have redirected the non-www to the www version (and there is no canonical tag). And other issue is that there is no robots.txt (I couldnt find it).Best luck.
Hope I've helped.
GR.

Does redoing a homepage impact search rankings?
Hello, all! Does anyone know if redesigning a website's homepage affects search rankings? I'm considering redoing my website's homepage - including rewriting the copy, and perhaps in Leadpages - but I don't want to compromise search. I gather that SEO is a bit of a black box, but am curious to hear others' perspectives before moving ahead. Thanks in advance for sharing your time and thoughts!

Page Rank Lost After Website Transfer
Hello, I recently transferred a website from Ruby on Rails to Wordpress in order to help with the site's responsiveness. I kept all of the URLs the exact same, but when I transferred it only the homepage and one other page kept their page ranks, all of the others have lost theirs completely. Almost every page on the site was at least a PR 2, and now their not ranked, and not ranking in the top of search engines like they were before. I am not quite sure what might have caused this, like I said, I kept the URLs all the exact same and its strange that 2 pages were not effected. I crawled the site with Screaming From and all of the pages that lost their page rank have a status as "Moved Permanently". They are the exact same URL, but they are listed without www. in front, could this have something to do with it? The website is www.goenergylink.com, and you will see that the homepage and "Residential" page still have their page rank, but none of the others do. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

Infinite Scrolling in On-Page Search Results
We have a website being built that will effectively function like an e-commerce site. When customers search within the site, we will display the results (sometimes hundreds). We were thinking of implementing infinite scrolling, but with so many results which all function as links to product pages, would this look funny i.e. having too many onpage links? Would the links at the bottom pretty much just be ignored (which is fine) or would they bring disrepute to the results further toward the top of the page? Thanks!

Best SEO extension or plugin for on-page optimization
I was wondering what you guys might recommend for a browser extension or plugin that would help developers optimize each page for specific keywords. I'm looking for a tool that will give me a grade on how well it's optimized with a recommendation checklist. I would use SEOMoz's onpage analysis tool but it doesn't have access to my private development environment (hence the need for a plugin.) Recommendations? Thanks!
