Welcome to the Q&A Forum

@VikramEZ Interesting. Thank you for sharing! We saw a pretty big change in traffic.....possibly GA undercounting mobile organic views.

Hello, all!
What impact have you seen if you've used the Hubspot AMP plugin and then disabled it?
We saw a big jump in sessions, which is weird because GA was tracking AMP pages. I'm trying to wrap my head around why this is happening but my brain isn't working

@blueprintmarketing Thanks! I don't write the content, unforunately. This is more of a tech SEO thing. Something happend over the past year from a tech perspective where Google doesn't trust the site. The 403s are part of the rabbit hole i'm digging through.

Hi, all! I've been working with a Wordpress site that I inherited that gets little to no organic traffic, despite being content rich, optimized, etc. I know there's something wrong on the backend but can't find a satisfactory culprit. When I emulate googlebot, most pages give me a 403 error. Also, google will not index many urls which makes sense and is a massive headache.

All advice appreciated!

The site is https://www.diamondit.pro/

It is specific to WP Engine, using GES (Global Edge Security) and WPWAF

@mikeyqu Thank you! One problem is that adding these UTMs breaks Hubspot which can't differentiate between any traffic coming from google with utms. It labels it all as Paid Search! So, no UTMs for me.

Hi folks! Is it still necessary to add utms to GMB profiles to get clicks from GMB-informed results to register as organic in Google Analytics? I thought so, but I did a test recently and it looks like this isn't necessary anymore (adding utms)

Thank you SO very much!  This is exactly what I will do.

Hello colleagues!

I have a client who decided to launch a separate domain so they could offer their content translated for other countries.   Each country (except the US/English) content lives in its own country folder as follows:

client.com/01/02/zh
client.com/01/02/tw

etc.

The problem is that they post the content in US/English on this domain too.  It does NOT have its own folder, but exists righth after the date (as in the above example) Oh, and the content is the same as on their "main" domain so google likes to index that sometimes vs. the original client on the domain where we want the traffic to go.

SO, is there a way to say "hey google, please index the US content only on the main domain, but continue to index the translated content in these folders on this totally separate domain?"

Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you so much.  This is so helpful.

Hello, community!

My client wants to use the barba.js plugin for their new site.

What are the implications for SEO?

Hello!

I'm rolling out hreflang tags in my client's "main" XML Sitemap.

My question is:  do we need to implement these tags in the country level XML Sitemaps also?

Thanks!

Hello, all!

I have a client who's Fortune 500 - has all the good "stuff" that is associated with pulling in proper info into the knowledge graph/company information box - Wikipedia, strong citations, etc., but the card is showing the wrong company type!

Has anyone had experience with influencing this via Schema or anything else clever?

Note that the correct company type is referenced in all the usual spots.

Thanks!

thanks!  Such a great answer.

Hi Moz Community,

I have a client using relative links for their canonicals (vs. absolute)

Google appears to be following this just fine, but bing, etc. are still sending organic traffic to the non-canonical links.

It's a drupal setup.

Anyone have advice?  Should I recommend that all canonical links be absolute?  They are strapped for resources, so this would be a PITA if it won't make a difference.

Thanks

Thank you so much.  This is so helpful.

thanks, I agree.  I appreciate your help.

Thank you SO much!

thank you so much!
