I have a client who I've tracked local rankings for in Localfalcon for months. Two locations, legal client. I've shown them which competitors outrank them. The competitors before the latest update were all in the same WA state cities, but a different zip code. So I suggested to the client...

Surprised LocalFalcon wasn't mentioned, would love to know if there are any integrations other than Placesscouts that helps to automate these reports. Love the visualization and believe the location-based reporting is more important than ever before...

In terms of optimizing a home page or website for LOCAL SEO (not traditional on-page tactics like keywords in page titles/meta descriptions), what are some that you focus on in 2020? Links to GMB profile? Reviews on the home page? City and state in page titles? NAP in schema.org/microformat?

I have a client who changed their website URL a couple years ago. I've updated their GMB website URL at least 3 times and GMB keeps going in and changing it back to the old URL, which redirects to the new one. I've run an inbound link report on old website URL and am working with client on...

One thing I have been working on for clients who have either moved to a new location, or are planning out where their new office location should be located for Google My Business purposes, is using Local Falcon to identify which zip codes businesses who rank are located in. I'll export all of...

Hi all, was wondering if I could crowd-source an opinion for a client project I've been working on. Personal injury lawyer with 2 offices, have been in snack pack for years. In between September 9th and 16th all of their local rankings for one of their locations basically dropped off, at least...

Everywhere I've read has said that authority is being rewarded over proximity in Bedlam update. Maybe it's different dependent on the industry, I'm not really sure, but I surely haven't seen law firms with more authority being rewarded. I have a client who, for the past 5 years, has ranked in...

Hello everyone, I've spent practically all day on a case study which takes a deep dive into rankings for 10 different websites which have keywords in the domain names. Following the latest launch of Google June Broad Core Update, every one of these 10 websites saw significant improvements to...

Thanks to everyone for their responses! I agree with everything @JoyHawkins had to say. A big part of it is which type of law firm or attorney are they...criminal law is more volume-based, bankruptcy is more volume-based, divorce can go either way, but personal injury lawyers with the larger...

I started my agency back in 2012, before that I was Director of SEO at a big website developer in the legal realm. I helped launch all of their SEO packages, managed all of their new SEO clients, built their SEO team before starting my own thing. My new agency would offer law firms market...

When I started building and hosting websites a few years ago, I used Bluehost. I never had any problem getting a customer service rep on the phone with Bluehost, they would always revert the website back to the most recent weekly/monthly backup if anything came up, and they're great with...

For anyone who runs into similar issues, here's how I resolved: 1) Added old domain to hosting account by pointing DNS 2) Installed a new LetsEncrypt SSL certificate for old domain in hosting account Redirect now works properly, without the error message. Thanks to @djbaxter for his help!

I have access to the old site server (we managed hosting), and Godaddy accounts for both old and new domain...

Correct! Only if you click in Google results. I understand it takes time for Google to adjust, which means new site will take time to replicate rankings, but in transition period I don't want client missing out on organic search traffic because of this error message popping up...

It redirects to the new site, but the privacy error pops up. So basically, if someone does a google search, client's old site comes up in results, and someone clicks on the result, they are taken to the new URL but the privacy error comes up, that's what I'm trying to fix. Redirect is setup as a...
