Which one do you recommend for learning SEO?

I've got myself a Semrush subscription and want to focus on learning the ins and outs of SEO as a focus point this year for my own company. I've come across the Semrush Academy however seen LearningSEO.io mentioned a few times. I'm leaning towards Semrush Academy since I've got the service however I've heard LearningSEO.io is very good. Which one should I go through or do you recommend any other ones? Ps, I know i can read all guides out there but I'd rather stick to one and complete...

Should my client change its name?

This is more of a technical question rather than design. I have a client with a foodtruck and their website and Google account is getting quite some traffic. (300 visitors a month, 60 phone calls from Google) He has a foodtruck on a prime location, so he doesn't rely on the website for customers really, but people use it see his menu and get directions. His current name is an abbreviation like ggc-chicken and he wants to change it to Grilled Chicken (it looks a bit dull in English...

Are backlinks really everything (like 99% of the job?)

So I launched my website 3 months ago, I thought I'd sail through and dominate. My competition: * Doesn't have a blog - they have a small newspaper but their job board is separate - jobs.euractiv should separate their SEO (or at least that's what I thought) * doesn't have a keyword strategy (their brand name itself is a low competition keyword) * doesn't have a phone friendly website, * offers a subpar service at 5 times the price (search for jobs euractiv it's them). I did everything I...

Can the "before:20xx" parameter in google searches be manipulated to an earlier date with the content being created after the fact? for instance, a page that says it was created in 2019 serving content from 2025?

im just trying to figure out how to remove the AI slop from my search results, but this is obviously the best place to ask i've been using "before:2022" lately but i worry about false positives what are my options and do the false-positives exist? and if so, how does the authority of "page date" in google work?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I'm trying to research most searched keywords for a certain tourist destination. Is there a way I look it up? I'm just getting started with SEO and exploring ahrefs tools. I followed some YouTube tutorials and online blogs but not really satisfied with the result. Any help/pointer is appreciated and I totally get it if this post is not worth replying to. Thanks in advance!

When searching a business on Google, how can you change what snippets of a review site are shown? Especially regarding Yelp

Have a question about what results Google pulls when searching for a small business. A client I represent has many 4 and 5 star reviews on Yelp. However, when you Google this store’s name, Yelp returns second and the snippet beneath that is terrible review by a lunatic customer. So the second result on Google Search is Yelp, with a specific highlighting of the bad review. 1. Why does Google show THAT specific review when pulling up the Yelp result, and not one of the many 4 or 5...

Is there such thing as honest SEO companies?

I am starting a local plumbing company that specializes in toilet installation and toilet repair. I've been looking for an SEO company and it has been a nightmare... complete nightmare. How do I know that they are doing what they say that are doing? Most SEO companies want to give you an 'Analysis' every month. How do I know it's not some BS white paper from a SEO plug in? Should a legit company give me an itemized breakdown? Some companies want 20% of the Ad spend to manage...

Removing old (irrelevant) html from pages

Anybody old enough to remember Microsoft FrontPage? So my site spans back over 20 years. Originally designed in FrontPage and it ranked extremely well for about any page I created. My site is an eCommerce site and has grown significantly over time. Currently have about 20K products and well over 1000 categories. Not to mention a bunch of random pages. I have been through a handful of shopping carts over the years. Since ranking has always been good, old html was copied over to the new site each time....

Laid off in SEO career for the 3rd time in 6 years

I work in SEO and was just laid off yesterday from my job. This is the third time I've been laid off in my marketing career, as I was also laid off from a company in 2019 and another company in 2020. These lays offs have all been due to company financial issues but each lay off has wreaked havoc on my life. It's been impossible for me to grow my salary or grow in my career and yesterday's lay off happened just a few months shy of me...

Blog was getting impressions now gone to zero after Google spam update

I was receiving a bunch of impressions before googles latest update and then out of nowhere just dropped to zero, it’s not a huge deal because i wasn’t getting that many clicks anyway but now I’m getting no impressions. I went through GSC and I’m not seeing anything red flags or errors id think would cause this. I am still being indexed, I guess not ranking at all? What I’m asking is: do I wait it out and keep producing content or is there a tool I could use...
