Hello,

I do not remember seeing anything marked as local in Google search console. I think it would be really great if it was though. I would just take a look at your Google Analytics and that should help you determine what part of your traffic is local.

Hi,

Part of the problem is that a lot of the available tools are geared more towards Google as it has the greatest market share. That being said all is not lost. Many different tools have modules that will help with tracking Bing as well as Google.

Here is a link to an article that reviews some available tools. I hope it helps.

Hello,

People and Google love freshly updated content. For example, if you were writing about computers and the best gaming notebooks. If your last article was two years ago things could be completely different now. Now, this may not be pertinent for a person who writes blogs on food and cake recipes because things may not change much over time, but in other areas like technology, sports, or many other topics current content is critical.

Hello,

I would keep numbers out of page titles if at all possible. The more it looks like computer code I think the worse it is. Try to keep page URL readable by humans and also convey a message about the content of the page.

Many people work from home and do not want to use their home address. I am sure we all know why. It is just not a good idea. It is their legal right to have a verifiable local mailing address in which they can send and receive mail. Another option is a local coworking space or execitive office space that offers mail and meeting space on an as needed basis.

The important thing is that it is a real address. You use it for real business and it can be verified.

Have a great 2018!

You need to get a mail box addres such as Mail Boxes Etc or the UPS store that gives you a physical street address. If you want to get into local that is your best and easiest option.

Make sure the address gets verified like any other address would, and never use a "Post Office" box. That will not give you the verifiable address as far as I know.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

It is important to always keep developing new relevant content. The value of a particular link can be affected by many factors and the age of a link can be one of them.

Personally, I believe many links are considered more relevant after they have aged for a while. I have noticed that links that are 3 to 6 months old and are of high-quality pass more ranking value that brand new links.  Also, the quality of the traffic you are getting through those links is an important factor.

As links start ageing and producing more and more traffic I really think they get more value from the search engines.

Hello,

I notice the top portion of the landing page uses a shadow mask to make the picture darker. This may be to keep the contrast high with the form and the other information. That way it sticks out a little better. The bottom portion is lighter and looks nice.

You could have two versions of the landing page. One darker and one lighter and run them evenly for a while to see which one converts best.

Hi,

I would "no follow" and "no index" those pages. You really don't want them showing up in the index anyway. They are not helping your seo. Later on when you want those pages to be active and indexed you could just change your tags and update your site maps.

Best Regards.
