You should be just fine. They're legitimate 404 errors that never existed and shouldn't. You only need to worry about pages that actually existed on your site and then redirect if needed. It's perfectly fine for old pages that you no longer need to also be 404, as long as you're willing to lose...

If you go through the doc, you'll see there's nothing about Page Attribute, or meta tags etc. What the guideline refers to as Title has to do with the title ON the page itself - the H1 or large text at the top of the page. The guidance deals with how it shouldn't be misleading etc. However...

There is nothing in the Google Raters Guidelines regarding Meta Tags or Page Title Attributes. Where the guidelines do come into play with regard to title information is that the text on the page (the header) must not be misleading. The standard over the years has been 50-60 characters is what...

I got the same results as you @codyecp (Searched from New York, Nebraska and California). Something to note is that maybe there are limited places actively doing SEo for dentists in OKC area? When you search for specific procedures, like dental implants, the landscape changes, and each of the...

If you're seeing URLs for pages that never existed, it could be someone else spoofing Google's crawl or someone who created links to then push it on the web. Take one of the URLs, put it into Google Search and see if anything actually shows (site:https://domain.com/webpage/ ) If something...

Brightlocal & ahrefs are two on my list regularly

It depends on what's being done. We charge that range monthly and in many cases more, depending on work being done. But it all depends on the rates and the hours used. For us, it's $125/hr and 15 hours is very easy to blow through. Between articles, keywords, rewrites, meetings, link...

The number of times I use AI is insane! :) Here's a few ways I use it for business: writing and fixing emails so they have a much friendlier tone. code review (fixing something missed in code) analytics interpretation log error interpretation (that it can be explained to a client) keyword...

We're seeing things return on our end too; The count for one of our clients is currently at 651 (up from 576 this morning and 614 yesterday). We have a couple that haven't moved since this morning, but hopefully, we'll see it shake out in the next day or two.

Just wanted to chime in that I have a client that lost 80+ reviews. We're just starting his investigation to see what ones dropped. He's in the House Cleaning business (maids etc) and is in a business group with 10 others. So far, 6 are reporting big drops, but they didn't have any reporting...

One of our more active clients are posting constantly, both Facebook and Instagram. They usually have 3 posts per day on Facebook, which includes 1 (Facebook?) Reel. We don't handle anything to do with Social Medai, so they have their own in-house person for that. It looks like the post gets...

We have them running on Facebook on a regular basis. Works great from a branding perspective. Along with their normal facebook promotions, usually one or two per week are targeting on various reviews. Also used in some of the video shorts (15 second videos) where it has the review, an image flip...

#1 local and #4 organic all day long - IF that's your service area. In organic search, #4 local (maps) wouldn't normally show unless they click into the "More Businesses" button.

For us, we only do SEO and WordPress Design/Programming. All social posts, videos, etc are all done by someone else. There are some people that want an all-in-one package, but the clients we work with all either take care of the social themselves, or have someone else doing social. We work...

Well, it's been escalated now. WP Engine is officially suing Automattic et al. Matt posted the terms sheet for what they demand, such as payment, specifications not to fork software, etc. It's almost like he hasn't read his own GPL in a while. Cloudflare jumped into the mix, too, offering to...
