      I use Moz's title tag tool, as I've compared it against titles on Googles and it always correct. But I haven't found a good one for the description.

      I've tried the two below, but on occasions, they've gotten it wrong. Can anyone suggest a better one??

        I use the SEO quake chrome plugin to check meta tags...and a lot of other things. I can't say how accurate it is, though.

            Hi,

            I quite like this one personally but I can't say for sure if it will ever get it wrong. Seems to be pretty decent though 🙂
            https://totheweb.com/learning_center/tool-test-google-title-meta-description-lengths/

            However, I tend to keep meta descriptions purposefully shorter than I need as I like to try and get the point across as quickly as possible.

            -Andy

              Hi all, We can see the old pages/links of a website using web.archive.org. But we need to manually check all the cached versions to know those. Is there anyway to get all those links/pages? Thanks

              Google Analytics reports large amounts of out of state traffic

              I've run into an issue where some of my clients are seeing large amounts of users in Analytics from outside of their markets. They only serve their local areas, so there should be a minimal amount of traffic from outside of them. I know that geolocation isn't 100% reliable, but these numbers are too far off to be categorized as simply being misidentified. Here are the important details: Over 48% of the traffic is listed as coming from outside of the state 62.77% of traffic is mobile, 28.95% desktop, and 9.28% tablet Of that, 23.73% is coming from an adjacent state, and of that, 82.41% is coming from one city - which is over 200 miles from the target city Several other clients that we manage also show large amounts of traffic coming from this same city, outside of their state or market The bounce rate from the target state is 52.82% - the bounce rate from the adjacent state is 67.41% Goal conversion rate is 19.43% in target state, 13.73% in adjacent state, and 15.79% in a far distant state - other states vary dramatically Analytics reports source/medium as primarily being facebook/cpc and google/cpc for out of state traffic, but both are set to only show ads to people in target state AdWords reports zero traffic from outside of target state, even though I can see the exact AdWords campaigns IDs in Analytics which tells me the traffic came from out of state Some Ad Groups listed in Analytics out of state traffic reports show zero clicks in AdWords I have spent a ton of time on the phone with AdWords support and they are giving me the runaround. They clearly know there is an issue, but keep saying that the data is accurate and that sometimes things are misidentified. They have no explanation for why so much traffic from CPC sources is being classified as out of state or why the AdWords and Analytics data aren't even close to matching. TLDR: Google Analytics shows thousands of users coming from paid sources outside of our target state; AdWords shows zero. Help appreciated!

              Free proofreading tool

              Does anyone use any free / open source profreading tool that not only corrects spelling, double-spacing and capital letters, but also meaning. Let's say it will tell you verb or subject is missing in the sentence. Or that a sentence doesn't make sense, such as 'Dog English he does looks well twelve'. Thanks. Katarina

              Google Analytics and Geotargeting a website for more than one country

              Hi Google Analytics settings can geotarget to just one main location from what I can see. But is there a way to target the website to more than 1 location. The domain is currently a .co.uk so it is UK specific, and from my knowledge I understand that popular and well ranked pages in any country can rank outside of the geotargeted area. Aside from canonicalising new url's with relevant keywords, meta tagging new pages, and creating unique rich content tailored to countries is there anything else I can do, in your opinion? Thanks.
