Good advice @Stefan Somborac but I suspect most of their clients come from outside the service area and nowhere near the kennels. Some in Denver looking for a weekend activity might not even know there is dog sledding in Steamboat so is more likely to do a general search which might show the...

Yes you can. But the authentication will only be sent to the phone registered with the SM platform. EG: Facebook account > Registered phone number > Authenticator

As you say, it can get pretty hairy. But the general advice works for images and text content: add value, be relevant, be informative and interesting. If adding an image to a post or page doesn't add value question if it's really needed. Unless of course the image is just for visual impact...

I try to create a schema for each page as it allows you to fine tune the properties - the automated tools often just go for the simple and less effective properties. One example of this is the use of the DUNS number - used rarely but a great schema property to add to your pages.

Bots add names to their messages to make them seem more friendly. In the same way chatbots introduce themselves with a name. The way you keep going in circles seems to suggest you are getting automated answers.

Are you sure it's a rep and not just an AI bot?

Agree with the @SabrinaB Drop the call tracking until you are validated then put it back on at a later date. If Apple complains again you need to decide if call tracking or apple maps is more important.

As @keyserholiday said there is no definitive guide but you can gain a lot of understanding from the Google SEO guidelines and in particular the Quality Rater Guidelines. https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/11/search-quality-rater-guidelines-update 180 pages long so it's not a quick...

But John Muller said: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/does-url-length-affect-seo/425230/ What does matter is the content of the pages in the URL structure. If you have homepage > category > topic each component should add value. If your category page is just a signpost to the topic it...

Not really any better or worse than any other SEO tool. Anything that has LSI in the scoring clearly doesn't understand what LSI means or how it works. So I'd take their guidance with a pinch of salt.

It depends. EMD uesd to be important until Google caught on and then it wasn't. Categorization can be important but it can also hinder. In general just use a logical structure. The immediate gains Joy saw may have been because the interstitial page wasn't ranking, removing this from the URL...

What's your marketing strategy? Do you want people to land on the site and navigate to the location pages? Or do you want them to land on the location pages? What channels are you using to get them on the site? The URL is almost irrelevant. What matters is the page titles, content and internal...

Filenames are irrelevant. Alt text ticks a box. Adding captions, titles and description is good practice. Far more important is the relevance of the image to the surrounding content and the focus of the page. Think on it like this. If you have a page about woolly socks and a section on the best...

But.... Your locations will only be shown to people actually in those locations. Someone in Denver won't see your GBP. If you are only targeting potential clients living in Steamboat, Oak Creek and Vail that's good. For anyone else you need a different marketing strategy.
