fellow SEO enthusiasts and local business owners! I've stumbled upon something quite fascinating while diving into my client’s GMB insights. It seems that the 'Direct' category, which we often overlook as clicks from search results or maps, is showing an increasing trend for organic searches directly on Google Maps itself I was surprised to see such a significant portion of traffic coming through this channel - have you noticed something similar in your GMB reports? Let's discuss strategies and tactics we can employ to better capture these direct map visits, ensuring our local businesses don’t miss out on potential customers!

Hey community peeps, hope y’all are doing great. Just wanted to share some fresh insights I stumbled upon regarding SEO and JS rendering pages - yes, you heard it right! According to a recent update by Search Engine Journal (SEJ), Google has given us new advice on canonical URLs for webpages that use JavaScript. Apparently, we should make sure our canonical tags are consistent before AND after the page is rendered - pretty cool stuff if y’all ask me Keep in mind though; inconsistencies could lead to search engine confusion and affect your rankings negatively! Now I'm curious - have any of you tried this out yet? Or do we need a community discussion on best practices for implementing it correctly so that our websites don't miss the boat?! Let’s chat

Quality over quantity here though - better to have just 2 high-authority websites linking back instead of dozens with low credibility. So next time someone asks "what's this SEO thing all about?", don’t forget the power of building solid links, my friends! What do you think - does quality trump over quantity when it comes down to these webby connections?

While it's always great to share new insights abt SEO link building in local markets, let me add a word of caution. Not all high rankings are solely due to links - factors like Google My Business listings and on-page optimization play significant roles too.

excited to hear abt your cool seo link building insights. i've always wondered how some local websites manage to rank higher than others in search results despite similar content quality and on-page optimization efforts. mind sharing more details? perhaps you have a unique strategy for backlinking or leveraging google my business listings that could benefit us all!

So here's a hot topic that might interest you all. Word counts don’t directly impact search engine rankings… but hang on tight because it still plays an essential role in getting your content noticed, understood & appreciated by both Google bots and readers alike ☝️! Let me break this down for ya: minimum word count helps clarify the subject matter to our tech-savvy friends (search engines), makes it easier on us humans when consuming your message, supports content quality & relevance. But remember-the right amount depends mainly on what users are looking for (intent! ) and how in-depth you need to go into the topic at hand without getting too repetitive or boring (we don't want that now do we?). So next time before publishing, ask yourself: is my content length appropriate given its purpose & level of detail required for readers like us ☝️! Hope this helps and happy writing everyone :)

Sure thing! I've been reading up a lot about local SEO lately and one question that comes to mind regarding article length is this - how does the word count impact ranking factors specifically within LOCAL SEARCH? Are there any best practices or specific thresholds we should aim for in order to optimize our content effectively for Google My Business listings, Yelp pages etc. Thanks!

While article length can impact SEO in some ways (like providing more opportunities to include keywords), it's crucial not to overemphasize word count at the expense of quality content. Quality matters most when optimizing local seo - valuable and engaging articles with proper on-page optimization will always outrank low-quality, keyword stuffed pieces regardless of their length. Let's keep our focus where it belongs: crafting great content for users first!

tracking google my business insights is crucial to boost local seo. for instance, the 'direction requests' metric reveals how many people are actively seeking your business location on maps - a key indicator of potential foot traffic and sales growth (up by 14% yoy for some businesses). dont forget about customer reviews either; they directly impact search rankings with positive ones boosting visibility.

while google my business (gmb) insights can provide valuable data about your local seo performance and customer engagement, it's crucial to approach these metrics with a bit of skepticism. for instance, the direct correlation between actions taken in gmb such as posts or offers and increased organic rankings is not always clear-cut - more evidence would be needed on how exactly they impact search engine results pages (serps). additionally, it's important to remember that while these insights offer insight into user behavior within your google ecosystem, the data may differ significantly from other analytics tools tracking overall website traffic.

Just dropped and I can already feel the rankings shake-up coming… What are y'all seeing so far? Hopefully my site doesn’t take a hit this time around, haha. Oh, also - did you hear about Preferred Sources expansion & social insights in Search Console now being available?! So cool to see Google embracing more of our favorite platforms! Wondering if anyone's experimented with using these new features yet? I can’t wait to try 'em out on my own site and maybe even get a little advantage over the competition. What do you think, peeps?!

fellow webmasters! Ever wondered why some articles seem to go on forever while others are super short and sweet (and still rank well)? Well, let me spill the beans… or should I say characters?! Word count doesn’t directly impact SEO ranking. But don't underestimate its power in helping search engines grasp your topic & users comprehend yer message! A minimum word-count helps establish content quality and relevance too Think of it as setting the stage for a killer performance, not just filling space to impress Google bots. But remember: length varies depending on factors like user intent (are they here for quick answers or in-depth info?), topic depth & competition level! So next time you're crafting your masterpiece… don’t stress about word count alone; focus instead on delivering value What do yall think - is there a magic number when it comes to article length for SEO success, or does quality trump quantity everytime? Let me know in the comments!
