Hi GR,
I am using google.ae. yea I know its just a metrics. When I search with Ab express in google.ae the abexpress.ae is not in the first page. There are many other websites with the same name nut from different countries. Yea site is online for just few months now and it doesnt have enough history too.

Hello there!
Happy new Year for you too.Which country are you using to search? As your TLD is .ae you should use google.ae.
Check here ( https://www.google.ae/#q=ab+express ), you do appear in the first page.On one hand, I'm not finding any major issue. It may be that your site does not have enough history (this is how long it's been online), or that you have very few backlinks (ahrefs found 1, majestic found 2 and moz found 1) or it may be that there are really few searches and you never get a click through google search.
All these, are some of the more important things that google takes into consideration to say whether your site is "relevant" for a certain search or not.On the other hand, Moz's metrics aren't absolute. So you shouldn't be driven by PA, DA or whatever. Moz tries to say how likely is a page to rank, but they are not inside google's algorithm. There are thousands of items that google considers that cant be considered by Moz or any other SERP tool.
Hope I've helped.

Hello!.
Im really sorry, cant help you here.
I've never had to verify the address with another method than receiving the card. -
Hi,
I have another question. I have created the google business account for abexpress. But in address field I cant enter the P.O box as and takes only physical address. I havent received the card yet.Is there any other way to verify the business?
-
@Gaston thanks for the quick response
-
There's no ultimate need in setting the preferred language and country. it's desirable to set those. At least so Google knows where are you Targeting
-
@Gaston,
Yes the site has only 7 pages.
1. The site was launched 3 months ago.
2. Webmaster tool account has been set up
2. We haven't configured the preferred language and country. we offer services within UAE, GCC, Levant countries and North Africa. So should we set this option?
-
Hi,
Yeap you should have a robots.txt file, even if you dont want to block any URL.Im checking with a crawler (SpiderFrog) and you have only 7 URL accessible. Are all those the URLs you want to be indexed?
http://abexpress.ae/
http://abexpress.ae/terms-conditions
http://abexpress.ae/industries
http://abexpress.ae/about
http://abexpress.ae/services
http://abexpress.ae/contact
http://abexpress.ae/faqsJust to be sure:
- how long has this site been up?
- Have you created a Search Console account for this site? Have you upload the Sitemap to that account?
- Have you configured the preferred domain? And what about the preferred language/country?

Hi Gatson,
Should we use robots.txt file if I dont want to block any urls?
-
Hi Gaston,
THanks you so much for your response. I will look into it.

Hello,
Your site does appear when searching for the domain itself. Take a look at this screenshot:
https://gyazo.com/471d935ab33651527a53c3b9436b44bcRegarding the DA, remember that it is a metric from moz that analyzes the links pointing to your domain (mainly) and then it offers a number stating how likely that domain may rank.
You shouldn't focus in incrementing the DA itself. There are other issues and ideas where to spend your time and money.
One of the issues is that you don't have redirected the non-www to the www version (and there is no canonical tag). And other issue is that there is no robots.txt (I couldnt find it).Best luck.
Hope I've helped.
GR.

Create 100% new content in existing page/URL?
We have about 30 pages of content that we are hiding from the website as these articles had some issues. If these pages ranked well, would you recommend that the new content is written within these pages? Meaning, we would replace the content that's in those pages with the same topic and keywords. Or do you think it's best to start a new page instead?

Will Google Custom Search results on my home page kill it's ranking?
This is probably a dumb question, but here goes anyway. 🙂 On a site I have it would be very useful to the reader to offer a search box that uses a Google Custom Search that I have optimized to search websites that are closely on-topic with my site. I know it sounds bad that I would send people to other sites, but just assume that the reasons are valid for this discussion. My question is, if the search results are set to display on the same page (the home page) as the search box, will the links in the search results to external sites just bleed my page rank to death? I assume it would, but thought I'd check just in case I'm missing something. I have to option to place the results on separate page of my site, and noindex it, but it won't be as powerful as it would be on the home page.

What does this mean on first step up setting up a campaign? "Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here."
I am BRAND new to this, and setting up my first campaign. I choose subdomain, and entered www.pdsaz.com. This is the message I receive: We have detected that the domain www.pdsaz.com and the domain pdsaz.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.

How could I avoid the "Duplicate Page Content" issue on the search result pages of a webshop site?
My webshop site was just crawled by Roger, and it found 683 "Duplicate Page Content" issues. Most of them are result pages of different product searches, that are not really identical, but very similar to each other. Do I have to worry about this? If yes, how could I make the search result pages different? IS there any solution for this? Thanks: Zoltan

A good title for each page on my website.
Dear SEOs, I know these facts: a) not more than 70 chars b) relevant to the page subject - probably best keyword at the beginning My problem - should I rebuild the current structure of my titles which is: Main Page keywords (in my case 4) | domain name - Main Page Sub-page - one click from main page keywords (again same 4) | domain name - Sub Page Name (or as you like Category Name) Specific page with an article / content keywords (again same 4 as on any other) | domain name - category name - title of article same as used in tag To be more precise, should this title be changed for following pages: Sub Page - where really it's page that let's you chose particular subjects (there will be few article for each subjects) so should the keywords be changed to - "chose your category" Specific page with an article - should the category name - title of article be completely removed and first part of title which at the moment contains same 4 keywords used on main page be replaced with keywords specific for the content ? To be honest I find those titles at the moment bit confusing and sort of illogical. But since I can't really change anything in the code I would like to know what's the right way before I keep pressing on the programmer 🙂 Thanks.
