Screaming Frog Python Library Hello all! I'm curious if the SEO community would be interested in a python library which allows you to programattically interact with Screaming Frog. I've written scripts using the command line interface which works easily enough, but the secret sauce is in passing the right .seospiderconfig file to the job. The package would have all the changeable settings from the main tool, and you'd be able to pass lists of links and customize extraction. It would handle the config file editing and then run your authenticated screaming frog crawl... 5 0 replies
Chamber of Commerce Backlinks My business operates in multiple cities across different states, but we have a service page for every location. I want to have a strong local SEO presence as the business sees a lot of traffic from “[insert professional] near me” Is getting backlinks through multiple local CoC (ones we’re located in) still worth the expense, around $400-500 each, assuming they are all do-follows? If so, should I route the backlinks all to the homepage or to each individual service page? 3 0 replies
To all the people who successfully blog post for backlinks. How many people do you reach out to and how many respond on average? I was going through ahrefs free training. They said reach out to an average of 20 different websites to get 1 guest blogger. I know each industry is different but what's your strategy for doing so and how successful are you and where do you find your guests? Ive been building lists off of social media and Google so far and writing blogs with low competitive keywords with high search volume 4 0 replies
Integration to automatically write and publish AI meta descriptions Hi all, first-time poster! I'm looking for a tool to integrate with a custom build PHP platform that will trawl 1000s of product pages and update (or in some cases, write from scratch) their SEO meta descriptions. Ideally we'd be able to input a set of keyphrases and terms to mix through -- any idea of a tool that does this that doesn't cost $1000 a month? Thanks, Michael 5 1 replies
Has Anyone Bulk-Updated the Author on All Posts Before? I have a client (expert in their field) that finally agreed to be listed as the author for content on their site. They review everything for accuracy prior to publishing and all of the content published is based on videos he's published. We've published nearly 100 articles over the last year+, all supporting content for his 'expert' videos. I wanted to change the author on these articles to his name but I don't want to get dinged by Google for doing so. The current author is just a placeholder;... 1 1 replies
Google do not read sitemap file and index pages Hi. I have a website and I created some thousands blog pages for the site. After some time, I removed those blogs because I thought the blog pages do not have good quality. It leaves a lot 404 errors in Google Search Console. I create a new subfolder and create some high quality content for the website. I submitted the sitemap of the new subfolder but Google no longer index the blogs in my new subfolder. It is strange that if I use a subdomain, it can index pages... 1 2 replies

What am I missing? I optimized my client's business GBP. He is a plumber. He's ranking in the top 3 on the local map pack. However he's barely getting leads. According to the Google Search Console in the last 28 days: Impressions: 640 Visitors: 26 So the average CTR is 4.1%. I used GMBRadar to track his local ranking. It even says he's in the top 1 in several areas. What am I missing? Why don't they click on my client's site? 3 11 replies
How to ACTUALLY grow traffic from 0. Does AI written content bring any results? Hey everyone, need some good advice Basically, I am working on a project that is just getting started, we are working on some content and the off-page SEO. This is the first time I am doing both on and off page SEO for a product and I am a bit hesitant. What actually worked for you and your project?

Do category pages help with SEO, or are they just pointless? I've discussed this with many new SEOs, and here’s my take: When done right, category pages can help with SEO by targeting valuable keywords, improving rankings, and making navigation easier. But most people get it wrong by leaving them empty, using default text, or not linking properly. I also found that adding a short 400-600 word intro, using relevant keywords, and linking to your best content can improve your category page rankings. It’s a simple but effective strategy. If you can, please add your point to know better about... 5 0 replies

Suddenly Stopped Ranking So, basically, we had our website meetecho.io and we were ranking well on Google for ‘Echo AI’ then out of nowhere we drop off the face of the earth on Google. We found it this was most likely due to us sending cold emails from this domain and so we bought a new domain meetecho.app and moved the landing page across to that. We then made meetecho.io a 302 redirect to meetecho.app and for some reason this new meetecho.app isn’t ranking anywhere on ‘Echo AI’ (should be the highest... 4 2 replies
State of the union for AI assisted internal linking tools? What's the best AI internal linking tool? I'm looking for something AI assisted but not autonomous nor automatic. I also need it in a niche language, Danish. I read that LinkWhisper sucks with its suggestions. Linksyai, LinkStorm, Linkboss, and Linkter are all on my short list. Beki.io is my front runner since I can have 1 site for free up to a certain size and since my site is brand new, it fits my needs for now. However, I can't find any information about supported languages. I contacted their... 4 1 replies

New to Backlinks, looking for low hanging fruit. Me currently DR = 0 Backlinks 27 (19% dofollow) Linking websites 18 (22% dofollow) Site is at least 16+ years old. It has had pics and text explaining my services and such, updated a few times. Honestly not a horrible looking site anyway. But it has never been optimized for SEO until I am working on that now. So Google hasn’t done much for indexing all these years, again, until recently. Checking ahrefs for the stats of my competitors that rank on the first two pages for the key... 5 2 replies

SEO KEYWORDS Hey! We're a small start-up and I'm very new to the world of web dev, so far I understand that keywords are not the be all end all, but they help with targeted searches and rankings. I'm wondering how exact I have to be with with keywords and phrases, for context, we're an online fitness coaching/personal training brand. A high volume search I'm looking to target is geo-targeted landing pages, so phrases like "personal trainers near me" "gyms near me" "Sydney personal trainer".
