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.

Google Search Console issue: "This is how Googlebot saw the page" showing part of page being covered up
Hi everyone! Kind of a weird question here but I'll ask and see if anyone else has seen this: In Google Search Console when I do a fetch and render request for a specific site, the fetch and blocked resources all look A-OK. However, in the render, there's a large grey box (background of navigation) that covers up a significant amount of what is on the page. Attaching a screenshot. You can see the text start peeking out below (had to trim for confidentiality reasons). But behind that block of grey IS text. And text that apparently in the fetch part Googlebot does see and can crawl. My question: is this an issue? Should I be concerned about this visual look? Or no? Never have experienced an issue like that. I will say - trying to make a play at a featured snippet and can't seem to have Google display this page's information, despite it being the first result and the query showing a featured snippet of a result #4. I know that it isn't guaranteed for the #1 result but wonder if this has anything to do with why it isn't showing one. VmIqgFB.png

Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?
Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

Page Title in Local SEO Title Tags?
Hi All, Still working on my title tag usage for local SEO, and I was hoping for some more feedback. My question is this: In Local SEO titles, I'm using location + keyword combinations, unique on each page. However, since each page has a specific title for the client, I figure I should be placing that at the front. My thought here was that this helps with the overall usability to the reader of the website. Ex. Contact Us page for Pizza shop Contact Us | Springfield IN Gourmet Pizza | Moe's Italian Pizza Anyone have thoughts on this one? Thank you!

How much does punctuation affect on-page SEO?
I have a page on a site that is targeted for "men's custom suits." Using the on-page analysis tool from SEOmoz it gives me an F for "mens custom suits" but an A with the apostrophe. Even though the apostrophe is proper English grammar, does it affect rankings either way?

Finished On Page optimization and slipping in rankings
Just finished on page optimization for a client that was on page 2 for the keyword. Went from an on page score of D to an A. But we are still slipping down the rankings. We were towards to top of page 2 now we are towards the bottom. Is there a time that it takes to change or does the on page not really make a big impact?

Where to Put Content For Product Pages - How To Structure Website?
Currently we have 300+ products. We do not have a CMS or Ecommerce site at the time being for certain reasons. Currently our site is set up with content on almost every single page. The main catagory page, explains everything on the main page, then our products page has a lot of text too. But right now, it seems as if our main pages are only ranking. In the near future I will be using a cms and purchasing a template. I noticed most Ecommerce style websites have just the product with the name and price, then when they click on the product it brings you to that page with a brief product description and some photos. My question is, does each page need content? Or can just the product page itself have content? For example, say we have a link to SHOES. Then the shoes page displays dress, casual and athletic. Then the athletic page brings you to a page with, running, tennis, cross training shoes, and so forth. Is it best to write content on this main catagory page? If so, how much? Or should we focus on putting content on the actual page of the individual product? Along with pictures and specifications? I know Content is Key and we are doing pretty well at that, however, I am starting to wondering if we have to much content or too similar content. What is the best structure to try and recieve GREAT organic rankings?
