Thats one of the things that recently hit my radar. We share a building with a business we used to be part of. And Lakota created a LOT of content for that site. So I was finally able to get access to the site so I could go in and manually remove mentions, photos, and other information about...

thanks for following up on that Joy I really appreciate you taking the time. This is the round and round I had with them on the phone. For some reason, they kept auto changing it back to "general practice attorney" and I had to repeatedly change it to "personal injury lawyer". Not to mention...

One more interesting puzzle piece: We've known for a while that we're not getting credit for many of our backlinks that I can manually go and put my eyes on. Some business directories, some legal directories, even some large news sites. I'm assuming the issue is not the credibility of these...

Not a problem, and I understand that the deeper these issues get, the more niche expertise comes into play. You can be great on on-site optimization and have no idea about troubleshooting GMB for example. Our question now is whether to put our trust in this person we've found who has offered...

I appreciate you looking into this James! If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please let me know!

Interesting. Yeah we're getting to the point where we realize we may need to hire a third party expert to come in and evaluate all of this to see what we're missing. I'm sure it won't be cheap, but we cant afford to be taking this hit, so its a necessary cost. My boss has been in contact...

9/15 LRD split off a few months later (after the site started showing some results), so probably early 2016 just looked at hosting, the registration for YDlaw (partnership) was made in 5/16. the APIA site was taken down and the domain was redirected to YDlaw. Yes it appears it was shelved...

When Lakota split from Minick Law, Minick removed all personal injury marketing and pages from their site, as well as mention of Lakota. I actually think they may have kept him on there for a couple months after the split, for referrals, and since they were still ranking for personal injury...

Hi Marie! Thanks for jumping in. Let me see if I can help answer some of these points. re: rankings in september, we lost our analytics tracking at some point, and I dont have w way to track any metrics before April of this year. :-/ unfortunate, I know. re: the lineage of the urls: I...

Joy, I asked our website designer about the hidden links and her response was that the hidden links *may* be a result of some schema markup she added, to improve SEO. If this is the case, will google penalize the hidden links even if they're a mechanism or byproduct of schema? or will it...

Thanks Joy, I appreciate your time and energy trying to help me sort this out. I think one of the things that complicates the diagnostics is that there are a few moving parts, potentially including possum, as well as the multiple redirecting that happened in a short-ish amount of time, due to...

would that not only compound the NAP issues I'm having? the only thing that differentiates the two businesses from one another are the suite designation, or "b". If I remove the suite number, I'm afraid it would only drastically increase the likelihood of filtering, based on multiple locations...

Thanks very much Joy for your help, its: Asheville Personal Injury Attorney - Lakota R. Denton, P.A. and the strongest (search volume) and most basic keywords are: Personal injury lawyer personal injury attorney car accident lawyer car accident attorney injury lawyer injury attorney Asheville...

Funny you should mention. We had a snafu last year where our business partnered with another business, and we redirected our site to a new partner site (with proper redirects to retain as much SEO juice as possible). Then unfortunately, the partnership fell apart, and we reverted to our...

Thanks for your reply Joy! Interestingly, google keeps auto resetting us both to "general practice attorney" and we've both changed it a couple times and it keeps getting reset. I have it set up for us as "personal injury lawyer" and them as "criminal defense lawyer" Everywhere... I do a...
