RE: Help with force redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Hello. You would put it somewhere after # BEGIN WordPress, depending on when you would want the https redirect to happen. The first settings (WP Rocket) basically optimize your website's speed. You would also want to change the settings from the admin panel and also force the admin to SSL. You can read more here -> https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ssl-https-wordpress/. Let me know if you have any other questions.

RE: Clients Keep Googling Themselves
Hi Jenna,
in terms of organic search, you should probably explain to them your current positions for all the tracked keywords and your long-term strategy for gaining advantage. From my experience, clients will never stop searching for what they want and I would argue that this is not a bad thing. However, you need to make them understand that you are in control of what you do and the timeframe in which you expect to have better results.
In terms of paid advertising, you can just give the official tools to check what they want. For example, for AdWords you can point them to https://support.google.com/adwords/troubleshooter/1711301?hl=en. They already trust Google's brand so they will accept their response much faster.
Best of luck!

RE: How do I fix multiple meta description?
What I would add is that Google Search Console will not give you exactly all insights that Moz or other SEO products do. However, this does not mean you have to skip them. In almost all cases the advice given in these tools are worth implementing. So, in your case, you might just check your HTML code and see that duplicate meta descriptions appear. Remove one of them and you're all set. Good luck!

RE: Switching URLs after acquisition to retain domain authority?
I agree with William. However, I want to add that you should also try to change all the direct links as much as you can. So, besides the internal 301 from the "old" domain to the "new" one, I would have a list with all the links you get to the "old" domain and try to change them to point directly to the relevant page on the "new" domain. There are a lot of good articles on moving a website domain. It takes a lot of work and a huge attention to detail. But if you do it right, it's worth the hassle! Let me know if you need more info.

RE: White H1 Tag Hurting SEO?
I agree with Thomas. But if you are already using an image you can integrate it with an H1 tag and an "alt" markup. Something like
. Google will consider the alt title. Hope this helps!

RE: Angular website and ranking
Hello. Don't worry! Google crawls Angular websites just fine. Just make sure that what you generate after the loading of the framework is good in terms of SEO and all will be OK. Here's more info: https://moz.com/blog/optimizing-angularjs-single-page-applications-googlebot-crawlers. Let me know if you have further questions.

RE: How to get a verification tick next to the URL in a Google Plus Local page?
Oh, I just revisited the link I gave you initially.
Note: If you have a local Google+ Page, you should use the local verification process to add your business information to Google Maps and display the verification badge on your Google+ Page. You may also choose to link your website to the page using the process outlined below.
So, did you try this?

RE: How to get a verification tick next to the URL in a Google Plus Local page?
You cannot merge a business page with a local place. You can have both if you want, but I think you should be able to verify a link on any of the two types of pages.
Try to log out from your google account and then log in and see what happens when you want to link your website to your page. I can't see any reason for which you are not able to verify you website.
If it still does not work, please provide a screenshot or detailed explanation of what is happening. I cannot help you out just by reading that it does not work. Please provide more details.

RE: How to get a verification tick next to the URL in a Google Plus Local page?
From my experience, Google+ page will be automatically linked if you are logged in with the same account where you have webmaster tools verified site. So, just log in with the same user that has access to that domain in webmaster tools and the link should be recognized.

RE: 301 Redirect from ASP.NET to PHP...Is it possible?
Hello Thomas,
I did not code ASP.NET, but from my understanding, a 301 redirect does not need to be connected to the language you write code in. You could perform a 301 redirect from your web server for example (in Apache you could use the htaccess file).
Anyways, I think you should redirect from your asp.net file to php and everything will work ok. You can check the link below for some code examples I have found searching on Google.

Hopefully this helps!

RE: 301 Redirect from ASP.NET to PHP...Is it possible?
Hello Thomas,
sorry for my late answer.
As Alan was saying, the web server intercepts a request before it serves a page. If it finds a rule that redirects that request, there is no need for the files to exist. So you would manage the rules for the request that you want to redirect on the same server where the old domain is located. If you are redirecting to the same domain, then yes, this means the rule will be on the same server that manages that domain. When somebody looks for your page, then the DNS would point to your server's IP. After that, the request is sent to that IP and the web server will try to serve whatever is needed for that request. But if you successfully add a rule for that specific request (let's say "www.mydomain.com/page1") to be sent to another URL (let's say "www.mydomain.com/newpage"), then the server will redirect that request.

RE: Can Google crawl dynamically generated links?
Well, it can crawl anything found on a web page. If you are referring to a page whose links are dynamically generated in the sense that you build them before serving the page (php for example), then yes. If Google bot reaches that page in any way (it is not blocked etc) then your links will be crawled as well.
