Blog structuring using EEAT format

Our client is an educational institution that provides certification courses both globally and locally. We are revamping the client’s website blog section to align with Google's latest algorithm updates and workflow, incorporating E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) principles and E-A-V (Engage, Add Value) strategies. Previously, blog content was attributed to trainers who conducted the respective courses or had niche expertise. However, most of these trainers are not full-time employees. While 5-6 trainers work as in-house staff, the rest are freelancers or are hired for specific batches. As a result,...

Difficult to trust Semrush, Moz, etc.

Semrush (and the rest) are so off from my Google Search Console stats that I find it difficult to trust their data when I do an analysis on a competitor. Anyone else find this?

How much to expect to pay a good SEO company

Good evening everyone and experts, I am recently in the market for a SEO company. I am 100% looking for quality and a good ROI, and I do understand SEO takes time. My two questions would be: how much should I expect to pay a good SEO company, and how would you personally vet out a company to see if they are the real deal and not some beginner who took a few courses (no offense to anyone who is a beginner who took a few courses) Thank you!...

How to Prevent Content Cannibalization While Creating a Mini SEO Course?

I’m planning to build a 2-hour mini SEO course on my agency’s website, covering around 8-10 topics (e.g., “What is SEO and why do we need it?”, “How search engines work,” “Keyword research,” “On-page SEO,” “Technical SEO,” etc.). However, I also want to publish more in-depth articles on each of these topics to help with Google rankings. I’m concerned about potential content cannibalization—basically competing with myself in search results by having a short version of the content for the mini course and a longer, more comprehensive version in separate...

Can anyone recommend ways to see how keywords are doing along with comparisons to competitors? I’m familiar with Google search console and Google Analytics.

Is there a way to see Google Reviews for a certain time period?

Hi everyone! For some context, I'm creating a SEMrush report for a client, tracking their holiday campaign between Oct 15, 2023 to Jan 10, 2024 and between Oct 15, 2024 to Jan 10, 2025 and comparing the data. They want to see how many Google reviews they got per each period and the average rating per period. Is there a way to do this using any tools or AI, rather than manually going in and counting each review? Appreciate the advice!

Products not showing up on google

Hey everyone, I’m hoping this subreddit can help me out! :) I run a Shopify store (don’t worry, I’m not another dropshipping guru!) where I sell well-known perfume brands. But I’ve run into an issue with my Google Merchant Center. I’ve added my perfumes to the Merchant Center, and everything seems fine on that end. The issue is that when I search for the perfumes I sell (which other stores sell too), the perfumes show up on Google, but my store and prices don't show up as an option....

How do I know if this is a "healthy" monthly search volume?

I don't know how to articulate my question very well... But I'll try my best. See, I recently started to play with SEO tools (the cheap ones) like: Mangools, Ubersuggest, Google Keyword Planner, Google Trends, etc. I'm doing this to study potential opportunities in my area that help residential painting businesses become visible on Google and generate more leads. The first thing I was curious about was *monthly search volume* for specific keywords. For example, "painters in san antonio tx". I first tried with Google Keyword Planner. It gave...

Did Google change something in approx September 2024?

I have a small site (psychotherapy). It has no backlinks pointing to it and is ten years old but it has good content. It's always done very well (by my needs), which I have assumed was due to high engagement. Up to around last September 2024 it was producing many leads. In the September - December 2024 it dropped sharply down the ratings, and visitors dropped by two thirds. There are tons of things to investigate, but a starting question is whether google changed anything around that time -...
