          hi there guys!

          I have this client that sells roofing reparation. His site is in two languages. In this image here, the green square are the results in english and red square in french. The picture is from a english SERP. What would you guys do to make sure that the SERP shows the right language to users on Google? It is very important for us to have both language separated. Our region is bilingual so, it's a big problem! The original language of the site is in french and I don't have any problem with this version. But when i checked the english side, there is this problem... mixing language in the SERP is not very good for my ROI. Thanks guys!  toiture2.png

            Alright GAB I think I got you here.  
            The answer you are looking for has to do with your XML Sitemap and using a nifty little tag called (Here comes a mouthful) "rel=alternate hreflang".

            Here is a little MOZ article that talks about how to utilize these things. I think once you get these setup correctly on your site, Google.ca in English should show English and Google.ca in French should show French.

            If you want a bit more information on this here is a Google Webmasters Support Article.

            And because I am a nice guy and honestly just wish somebody would have shown me what a Wild XML Sitemap looks like that utilizes this I give you this: view-source:http://www.adobe.com/dma-amo-hreflang-sitemap.xml

            It is actually pretty surprising the number of sites that still do not use this.

            Hope this helps!

              If we're talking branded query here, Google thinks that it's in French, so it shows results in French first.
              Is it an option for you to target English speaking audience with a different name like "Group Raymond"?

                How do I treat multiple buildings on the same college campus on Google for local SEO?

                Should I delete them? Simply give them a different address like "City, State, Zip"? I see the benefit of having key buildings on campus in Google Maps, but I don't want those to affect my accuracy score and, thus, my local rankings for SEO.

                Why would a website link disappear from a Google Place listing?

                Hi, a local non-profit recently re-branded their name from MacDonald Center to Maybelle Center. When they updated their business information their website link disappeared. They've updated from within and dashboard to no avail. We've requested edits/updates via Google Map maker but it says Denied. Here's a URL for the SERP result. Note the button for "website" would normally appear by the button for "directions" https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=maybelle center portland&oq=maybelle center portland&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59j69i61.4316j0j7 Can someone please explain why this is happening and how we can fix it? They are a great community organization who's about to receive some media coverage and we'd really appreciate it if users hearing about the group be able to easily access their new website. They are aware of their duplicate listings but, typical of non-profits, have limited time and funds so are prioritizing to address more urgent issues first. However, I don't believe duplicate listings would cause such an issue but please let me know if I'm wrong here

                Scoot local links

                I've been approached from Scoot trying to sell me their local directory links. 
                Its a one-off price of around £80 to be listed on all of their 500+ directories and £20 a month to be able to do any changes and to keep the web links active.
                The list of the directories are here - http://submittrackz.scoot.co.uk/directories The question is, are the links of much benefit for local seo?
                I was thinking of reselling this so the cost is not the problem so much, its just the quality of the links in question.
                Thanks
                Dave

                Best Practice When Selling One Location of Company with Multiple Branches - Local Search

                I have a client with a small business with 4 different branches. Currently, we have a main landing page for the company, plus distinct landing pages for each branch with maps, territories, distinct phone numbers, etc., for each branch. The company recently sold one of the branches to a competitor  as they do not want to service that area anymore. They have asked me what they should do now. Obviously, we are going to remove the location page for that branch, but we also need to transfer the phone number to the other company for use as part of the sale. What tasks should I look into for separating the branch from the rest of the company while still maintaining best practice for the rest of the site/company? Thank you for your help and suggestions.

                How to find which directories to submit my new site?

                Hi Guys So as I'm just starting out, I have been told and read certain blogs that in the early stages I should submit my site to certain directories, only I would not have any idea which directories I should submit my site to, besides the few that I already know. Any idea how I could find this out? Cheers

                Should my website link to my google business listing given that I already link from google business to my website ?

                I have a website with individual Location Landing Pages for each of my Depots.  I also have individual Google Local Business Listings for each of my depots. Should I have a link from my Website Location Landing Pages to the associated Google local Business listings or not ?... Given that I already have a link on my Google Business listing to the relevant Location Page on my website. I wasn't sure whether linking both ways would be more beneficial thus enforcing things better or whether it's not needed to link both ways . thanks Pete

                2 phone numbers in our SERP snippet are incorrect. How do I fix it?

                At the special rich snippet at the top of the SERP, we have 5 phone numbers, but 2 of them are for something specific and need to be removed. Do you know how to do this? I've looked up the 2 phone numbers and they appear to only be on PDF documents. Any ideas?
