Hey

A couple of resources for you:

https://moz.com/community/q/does-the-link-title-attribute-benefit-seo-2

Short answer, no it's not worth the effort from an SEO point of view.

Hey there, Lowercase is fine.

Not sure why you would have /nl-nl/ and /nl-en/ though, it's either English or Dutch, right?

I've set this up many times before and it works just fine, although it's sometimes a little overkill unless you have the English version of a page ranking higher than the Dutch version in Google.nl for example.

I usually find adding these as separate websites in WMT's and setting the target country correctly for each site you shouldn't have any problems.

So add http://www.domain.com/nl/ as its own site in WMT and set target country to Netherlands, then add http://www.domain.com/en/ as another site and set its target country to UK.

Hope this helps,

Goodluck,

Woody

Hi Digitalkiddie,

Whilst we all know that NAP (Name, Address and Phone Number) should be consistent in citation, if your business offers its services locally and internationally, I would include both local and international phone number on your website, then use relevant phone number from local/international citation.

I dont see this being a problem and have used this successfully in the past.

If you are worried, the alternative is to use local number consistently, and for international citations simply prefix number with [UK].

Hope this helps

Google doesn’t like duplicate content in any form, including title tags. Multiple pages on your website have the very similar title tags, so Google may elect to change one or more of them in order to provide a unique description for each one.

You could try changing the making the title tags a little more unique, or swap your logo for an image instead of text, since this is where Google is pulling the "The Law Office of Daniel L. DuRee." text from.

Alternatively, this could be Google being clever and trying to push your brand (Daniel L. DuRee), as it thinks it's more useful to the searcher than the current title tag?

Hi

Should I purchase localized urls like .co.uk or .com.au and point those at my .com?

This will not help you.

What are you giving Google to help them understand that your website is also for a UK audience? You need to provide flags for Google to understand or it will look at the major factors, e.g.:

• Name, Address, Phone number on your .com domain (are these US, or do you also list a UK address)
• Citations of these details ^ (are they cited on US based websites/directories)
• Server location (is site hosted in US)
• Domain registration details (US address)
• Inbound links (you mentioned 75% US, need more UK focussed + UK PR)

It's hard to give advice when I don't understand your business, but if possible, could you create localised versions of each page? i.e. www.domain.com (original) and www.domain.com/uk/ and www.domain.com/au/ (simple enough if site is built on Wordpress with the WP ML plugin).

This way your www.domain.com/contact/ would remain 'as is' but www.domain.com/uk/contact/ as an example would contain your UK address, UK phone number etc (don't forget you can buy postal addresses in most major cities around the world for ~£30/month).

You'd then build all your external UK links to your www.domain.com/uk/ pages.

One thing to beware of, this approach would only work if you could truly rewrite every page with unique content, which is much harder when it's EN-US to EN-GB or EN-US to EN-AU etc.

Do not copy the content from www.domain.com/product1 to www.domain.com/uk/product1 and think that changing the Americanized spellings to English will work for you. It won't! And you will risk a duplicate content penalty.

This is a good exercise, if done correctly as you'd be surprised how keywords change per country, especially long-tail phrases, even between English speaking countries.

Take vehicle rental as an example - van, truck, suv, rv, ute are all variations of pretty much the same thing, used across different English speaking counties.

Then the longer tail is more complex as American's are more familier with 'Rental', whereas English more commonly use 'Hire'. So if you're targeting one phrase only on domain.com and that phrase is suv rental, the guys looking for ute hire in Australia will never find you.

Oh -- You'd also need to implement href lang tags into your meta head to tell Google which version is for which Country.

Hope this helps.
