Is timing SEO plain stupid? We’re opening a diagnostic clinic in about 14 months and want to start SEO early so that by the time we launch, we’re already ranking and attracting customers. The challenge: We won’t be offering services until we open, so we don’t want to create sales pages too early and have people land on them without the ability to book. But we also don’t want to start from zero when we go live. Local SEO and Maps SEO will be key, and we were thinking of building authority through building... 2 0 replies

How Do You Manage SEO Without Losing Focus on Your Business? Running a business is already hard enough, but trying to handle SEO blogs on top of that? It can feel like a full-time job. I’m curious, how do you currently approach SEO for your business? Do you spend time writing blogs yourself, hire someone to do it, or use tools to help? What if there was a way to automate the entire SEO blog process so you could focus on your business while still seeing results? Would you trust a system like that to handle your SEO? 2 1 replies

Product snippets are 99.7% of my impressions. Is this an issue for e-commerce, I'm a little lost out here... Hello all. I feel stupid asking this but stick with me. My wife has a little Shopify store. It doesn't make much money, so I've been doing my best to get her some exposure on Google. I've set up the pages to be structurally correct, added H tags in all the right places with rich product descriptions with all the right keywords, images, schema markup, created a GMC and GSC account with product feeds, etc. You name it; I've probably tried it. However, when I view the data in... 3 0 replies
Business Name for SEO? I have a question about business name and how it relates to optimizing SEO. I am creating an LLC, does that name matter if I’m going to be operating the business under a different name, using a DBA? I’m buying an established business, and will be keeping that name, but I am having to create a new LLC to purchase the assets. So I wanted to make sure if I need to be strategic in selecting my LLC name, or if it is mainly the DBA name that matters... 2 1 replies
Jump in long title tag warnings on SEMrush Hi all, I've been doing this for a minute and usually can figure things out, but this time I'm stumped. I've been slowly chipping away (since being brought on) at all the errors/warnings from the SEMrush site audit and was slowly working on decreasing the title tag length. However, on this week's report, it jumped from \~100 to \~400 titles that are too long, according to SR. Whenever I contact SEMrush support, they're friendly but typically generic so I thought I would ask here. We haven't had a large... 4 0 replies

Why i dont like AI Tools when it comes to SEO? I might not be a fan of AI tools, but I use them to make my time more productive. However, I don't rely on them for my strategy or research. I used them for data analysis or content enhancement. I onboard a new client from the USA and his content was everywhere. When I asked him, he said he used some AI tools to create a topical map/cluster and started working on it. I had to trim down the content from 80 pages to 20 and rephrase the content... 2 0 replies
Site Only Appears in Omitted Results – Need Help Recently, a prospect approached us with a website built on Laravel. When users search for a keyword like “Daikin customer care number,” their website doesn’t appear in the top 100 search results. However, if you navigate to the third search results page and click “*If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included*,” their website appears. Upon further investigation, I found that out of 1,000 pages, the majority return a 502 server error, while the rest function properly. The website owner mentioned that, from a... 1 1 replies
A website not ranking on his own brand keyword? Hey the SEO community, I’m reaching out for some insights as I’m dealing with a weird issue that I can’t figure out alone right now. :/ Hoping someone here might have experienced something similar!

Why would this happen? My website is relatively new and I've been monitoring the impressions and views. I noticed that after consistently getting 300-400 impressions every day it suddenly dropped to 30+ impressions over the span of two days(from Feb 2 to Feb 4) and hasn't risen since. Why would that happen? 1 0 replies
My impressions dropped to 0 on February 4th? And no idea why Hello, I launched my website at the end of November 2024. Since then my impressions have been growing smoothly, I was doing a good job. I have good content, all the technical aspects are right, I´m starting to post one or two posts a week, and nothing is with AI (I mean I use AI to help me but not something that is fully created by AI and makes no sense). The website is small at the moment 15 urls. Since I launched it my impressions have been growing... 4 2 replies
SEO specialists, do you spend more time on the technical or marketing side of SEO ? It appears SEO has two faces, one is technical (technical SEO, structured data, On page SEO) the other is more "marketing" (link building, keyword research, content). I looks like most of the technical side would be pretty basic stuffs for a developer and they should be familair with it when building a site for their client/company. So my question is, when working on a project, do SEO specialists or consultants spend more time on the marketing and strategic side or do they actually get to work with devs on... 4 3 replies
Why my CTR is decreasing? As I know, unless you change your original posts, the ratio of people who clicked those articles to people who saw the articles on SERP would be stable. I understand, but my blog's click/impression ratio decreased by 10% from December to January. What are the reasons? Thanks in advance. 2 5 replies

Ahrefs vs semrush I am looking to buy one of these tools. My main usage would be researching multiple expired domains SEO scores and analyzing competition. One thing that bugs me is that for basic subscription of about $130 per month you get only 5 so called projects on each of those tools. That would be a problem since 5 projects = 5 websites to analyze and that just way to little, I would use that quota in a day. I used ahrefs way back and I don't remember such strict restrictions... 5 1 replies
