Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yeah, Moz Local is showing that we have a Facebook page. The problem is Google+ though. It shows that we don't have a listing on Google+ and it's obviously affecting my client's location accuracy scores. We present this data to our clients. So not having an accurate report is kind of a problem. Why isn't there a way to manually link the Google+ page to our Moz Local listing? Moz Local needs to provide a way to match up the data without the address. Especially since Google wants service based businesses to "hide" their address.

I have about 7 of my clients listings currently in Moz Local. It's showing that we don't have a Google+ listing when we actually do. Everything I have in Google My Business (NAP) matches what I have in Moz Local. It's a service based business and Google has recommended that we hide the address since consumers don't actually visit my clients location. Could that be the issue? If so, how do we take care of this?

Thanks. I appreciate the help with this. Yeah we are more concerned with user experience rather than passing link authority. The concern was just that implementing that many redirects could potentially hurt the main site from a Google perspective but I definitely appreciate the input. Makes my decision a bit easier.

Hello All,

I have a situation with my site where a vendor created a local directory of locations on a sub-domain of my site. This sub-domain has approximately 2000 pages. It is a PR3 and a good backlink profile (not many links. Mostly citations. Not spammed). It get decent traffic but 80% of the traffic is driven by ppc.

We have created a new local section on the main page of our website and we are trying to weigh the benefit of redirecting all of those pages on the old sub-domain. We anticipate that this new section will begin to replace the old sub-domain in serps. Additionally, when our deal with the company that manages this sub-domain ends in three months, the pages will no longer exist.

Is it worth redirecting the pages (you might need more information to give good insight into that)? Also, if we do implement approx. 2000 redirects, what effect will that have on the main site from an SEO perspective. Is it possible that Google might ignore this large scale redirect effort? Will the value also be limited by the fact the redirect might only be live for a month before the original pages are deleted?

Any help/insight with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am trying setup product reviews on an Ecommerce site and was wondering if there were some good websites to create a model around that is SEO friendly.

Right now my reviews are in a separate directory off the review (http://www.example.com/review/product/etc) and I would like my reviews to be attributed to the product page to add in free, fresh, unique content that contains valuable information for both the user and SEO (new keyword derivatives).

Also any suggestions on getting users to leave reviews? Whether it is a monetary incentive/coupon or a free method (of course this is preferred :))

Thanks in advance!
