31:21 We have a site where we are seeing more and more low-level (DR 0) links showing up. Mostly these links are to photos on the site. It's definitely having an effect on our site rankings.

Is this some sort of new competitor attack? And if so, any suggestions on how to defend against it? I don't want to go disavow all these sites because I'm sure it will leave a huge hole in Google's graph, which would cause even more damage. Not sure how to handle this one...

Our previous guy did some link-building after that we changed our location. So now I can’t find him to edit them.

SEO Q&A

49:44 I'm having trouble trying to rank the landing pages on a client's website for "keyword in city". The towns I'm targeting are all very small with sometimes 0 competition for that keyword.

• a lot of pages never even got indexed
• some previously indexed pages are now starting to get de-indexed
• the content was manually written (no AI content)
• URL structure: website.com/locations/city-name

Does the "build a landing page for each location" approach still work in local SEO like it used to for new sites or was there a change that I am unaware of?

I have a couple of old sites with that URL structure that I have successfully ranked with this approach and that are still ranking well, but I haven't built a new site like that in a while.

Any feedback is appreciated.

16:14 I'm particularly having challenges in finding the right keywords and topical authority. How is it different here?

46:17 My page is indexed by Google and other pages are not yet, but the problem is that my home page appears with site: operator but its not appear when searching by its name. I already submitted the sitemap on the console and the page is not blocked by robots.txt or noindex tags.

I don't know the issue and what will be the solution if any expert can guide me I will be thankful.

SEO Q&A

18:42 I have a trucking client (my brother) that is in trouble with Penske (national company), where he has some trucks leased and serviced because somehow his name, "Gbyrd yard," got added to Penske's GMB. I know you can suggest an edit, but when I do that, I noticed the name is in the first line of the address field. Any thoughts, tips, or suggestions on how we can get this fixed??? Also, I have NEVER used this "Penske" address within his GMB or even set up his GMB yet...doing that soon. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated so I can get this FIXED ASAP.

28:03 I have a locksmith service site. One of the automotive services we offer is Car Key Replacement.

I have a page for car key replacement.

I have each page linked to the main Car key Replacement page and 6 other automotive services pages, Ignition replacement and car unlocking service.

Should I interlink the page with each other, or I should not?

40:40 What would you do for a GBP ranking around 4 or 5 for its main keyword to push it up into the 3 pack?

Q&A

36:25 Do you have any info on text markup (inline) content?

38:02 I have a local client with 3 listings: Her name, her training school, and her clinic.

She's closing her massage clinic and just focusing on the training school. The one with her name just shouldn't exist.

All with the same address and phone number. Name & clinic go to the same website, training school goes to the only website she's keeping.

Should we merge all 3? Or "close" 2 and keep 1?

44:41 I think one of my websites is not indexing, slowly being removed from the index because of duplicate content. The city pages are too similar. Are there tools that can show me what I need to remove for duplicate content penalty?
