    how to get a deleted url back on wordpress

    original page will be in the 'trash', WP hold the URL open in case you want to restore it. Go to trash, either restore the deleted page or "delete permanently" to release the URL.

    Does people searching for your biz improve rankings?

    This article explains a bit about RankBrain (theory of course) https://backlinko.com/google-rankbrain-seo its more about pogo-sticking (finding your page, visiting, going back to google, clicking another, dwelling etc.) unproven theory but makes sense to me.

    Optimising for Singular and Plural of Keywords

    There will be a reason. If nothing changed on the site and ranking suddenly dropped, Look if it coincided with an algo update (https://barracuda.digital/panguin-seo-tool/), check backlinks, content, new competition, negative SEO, penalties, social activity - hard to track down but there will be...

    What are the effects of .com , .net and .org domains on SEO?

    If the content is good, you'll rank regardless of the TLD but there is some weighting for country domains in the country of search i.e. You don't see too many .co.uk domains showing up in Google.com but the same search in Google.co.uk results in more .co.uk domains. I'd go with one of the new...

    Optimising for Singular and Plural of Keywords

    You're overthinking it, Shirt is the same and Shirts to Google depending on the context. i.e. someone searching for "red shirt" or "red shirts" likely see the same results. However, no harm in making sure your category pages have focus on the plurals.

    What are the effects of .com , .net and .org domains on SEO?

    Who is your market? The TLD won't make much difference, its what you do with the site and how you market it that matters.

    I Need a Plan

    Not sure anything in your possible plan will help you audit the site any easier, turning on category path will change the URLs so you'll need to make sure you cover this with 301s (so you still need the existing URLs). Ran a couple of tests in Screaming Frog - 64bit Java - Maxed RAM, strip...

    A 3rd party blog that can be inserted to website via HTML?

    If your only option is HTML then this implies that you'd need to embed your blog solution as iFrame and serve from 3rd party/your own server or, perhaps pull-in and render a feed using JavaScript - either way, its a can of worms and it will do nothing for your SEO.

    PayPal Credit Issue

    Phone them (0800 358 7911), they can do it for you, try not to get fobbed off to their ticket system or you'll wait weeks for a response. I would also try posting in their Community forumsI've had responses from PP personnel in there before but its hit n' miss.

    Disabling Right Click on full size images

    if the image click is going to the full image URL (default for Wordpress) then there is nothing you can do as the browser is rendering the image. Look at plugins that pop-up the image instead and therefore do not navigate away from the page. Either way, disabling right-click won't really protect...

    SEO Rankings

    I'm afraid the world is full of SEO professionals that are winging it every day; sadly, it's the clients that are paying for their incompetence. Works great for me, I make a living out of fixing problems caused by bad agencies!
