    Improving Website SEO - Keywords & site testers

    Each SEO tool will give different results, and the one you are using is not particularly robust. The best tool to use is ahrefs.com. Also try ubersuggest, which is free. Or search google for "SEO tools", as there is a very long list of them. Regarding your last question to get keywords found by...

    Traffic isn't a ranking signal

    of course traffic is not a signal, if you just mean "traffic" as in this tweet, which is a very general definition of any visitor visiting a website, including bots and what not. what is a signal though, is "targeted traffic", in other words traffic that has a genuine even somehow remote...

    Google places multiple locations

    It should work, but in general it is recommended to have different details (NAP = name, address, phone), for different locations. Also what business name would you be using, same name? Nowadays google maps is a bit fuzzy when it comes to verifying listings, UK much easier than US, so yes it...

    Tech SEO: Domain IP Address, Targeted Country, DNS, GoDaddy

    It sounds like you mean to get hosted in the UK. There is no such thing as server registration, probably you mean server location. As I said hosting in UK versus US might have a slight advantage. But this is a minor point with respect to your SEO effort, there are many other things to be...

    Tech SEO: Domain IP Address, Targeted Country, DNS, GoDaddy

    Yes you should have a slight benefit from being hosted in the UK if you target the UK market, but nothing groundbreaking. This is probably not your priority if you want to increase UK traffic, but can help a bit.

    SEO in 2019

    These all sound like good points to me (we do SEO). At the risk of sounding obvious, I would add monitor and improve your organic rankings and possibly also rank in google maps. In general, increase targeted traffic to your site, that is one of the main goals in SEO.

    Tech SEO: Domain IP Address, Targeted Country, DNS, GoDaddy

    Hi, In general Godaddy does not let you change (server) IP and in general their servers are based in the USA. If you want to be hosted in the UK (get a UK IP), call them, I think they might accomodate that, but it may require a change of service. Only they would know.

    Directories and poor quality backlinks

    It seems confusing: is it big name directories, in which case there would be a few links, not 1,000. The title of your post says "poor quality" though? So my comments are: - big name directories are fine; used by thousands, if not millions of businesses. - 1,000 of links overnight sounds like a...

    Local SEO Using a New Domain Extension - Whats You're Thoughts?

    To my knowledge the jury is still out on this one. As far as I am concerned I always prefer the .co.uk for UK local, .fr for France, etc. These are "safe bets". Taking a new domain extension is not a safe bet, just a bet. And the domain extension may not be such a big deal anyway, depends on the...

    SEO SpyGlass beta testers wanted - game changing update coming

    I used spyglass when I started SEO 10 years ago and stopped using them about 5 years ago. I do not think they can match the speed you get from a great tool such as ahrefs.

    Advice on how to keep growing business

    My suggestion is to work on SEO to reach #1 versus currently #4-5. This could double your organic sales. On site conversion optimization could also increase sales. This is the type of service a good SEO marketing agency can provide. SEO is what we do, feel free to ask any question. But going...

    Business name/own name

    This seems to be an ebay TOS question. Will they allow a different name between the one shown to buyers and the one they send payments to? I believe they would, this is the thing to check with them.

    Is it time for a new laptop?

    Coincidentally I just got a new laptop and it is a HP. I am very happy with the brand, this must be my 4th in the past few years. And they are getting lighter each time, love it. No brainer to setup.

    Chasing up tasks: How best to manage it?

    This will probably depend on which type of business you are in, and I am in SEO. What I do is monitor staff's productivity, and this comes naturally. It is easy to see if staff is slow or fast, good or bad quality. Then we help them improve their speed and their quality of work, with regular...
