Is SEM Rush loosing accuracy?

Traffic from Google search is now 10%. It used to be 90%. Direct Traffic is now 87%. It used to be 5%. Is there anyway to fix this wrong traffic source? submitted by /u/StudyQuick2053 [link] [comments]

I’ve recently launched my law firm and been doing my best to learn SEO / Back linking. Been working on listing as many as possible for the obvious ones in my field. I paid for an SEO analyzer (not sure the term of art) to look at competitors back links and I was shocked in my field, workers compensation in California, how everyone was doing it. I think for now, my dollars are better served hiring an agency for back linking vs adverting for leads. Where to bring looking for an agency to do this? There’s some relatively cheap backlinkers on Fiverr. What’s the cost range on these services? I’ve been working my ass off putting up blogs content and I think Backlinks early would be extremely helpful. Thanks for the advice on costs / way to find reputable agencies for this service. Also, if you stop paying are the back links pulled? submitted by /u/fishmango [link] [comments]

I’m seeing tons of blog comment links in low-tier SEO gigs. Are these worth anything anymore for juice, or just good for indexing? submitted by /u/MrCoolBacklinks [link] [comments]

For SEO professionals and site owners, this raises red flags. If users get the answer they need without scrolling, clicking, or even reading, publishers lose the opportunity for traffic, visibility, and engagement. What is your thought on this? submitted by /u/TechPuran [link] [comments]

My main domain (for a small side project I've been playing around with) is www.subsavant.com -- and the apex domain points to the same site. Google Search Console reports 7 indexed pages & 7 non-indexed pages. But most of the non-indexed ones are simply the apex domain. Eg "http://subsavant.com" is not indexed because it's a "page with a redirect" (to https). Or: https://subsavant.com/sfw is not indexed because it has a canonical ref that points to a different page. In both cases, I think it's totally fine & correct... Though it seems to be presented to me as if there was an error or misconfiguration, so I'm not 100% sure. Am I supposed to "do" something? If not -- is there some way to tell Search Console to just ignore the non-www domain? submitted by /u/plainly_stated [link] [comments]

I need help. I applied for an SEO Consultant role at an SEO agency. 1st interview was with an HR. 2nd interview was with the SEO managers. I managed to get to 3rd interview where we need to audit in just 3 days and present it to their full panel of managers. They want me to give an audit of Tommy Hilfiger's website. My problem is this role is for mid-tier level SEO for smaller to mid sized businesses but given that they're asking me to audit an Enterprise is I think beyond my level of experience. I'm asking for ideas/thoughts on how to even approach this. Thank you. submitted by /u/TechnicalHoney12 [link] [comments]

My traffic is going down more and more, and getting traffic from ads is not a viable option, nor will it ever give me enough traffic as before. I know there's social media - but like search engines, they can cut me off anytime. My primary source of income is from ads, and I do sell some small merchandise on my site but the builk is from ads. What are other people's thoughts? submitted by /u/Djbabyboy97 [link] [comments]

I recently launched a Shopify store and I'm trying to get it indexed by Google. Before setting up Shopify, my custom domain was pointed to my Etsy store. After switching to Shopify, I submitted my sitemap.xml to Google Search Console to kick off indexing. A few days later, I checked back and saw an error saying the sitemap couldn’t be indexed because of a redirect. I assumed that was because the domain had previously redirected to Etsy. So I waited a few more days, re-submitted the sitemap, and checked again—same issue. The status said validation started on June 8, and the last update was June 9, but there’s been no progress since. To troubleshoot, I opened my sitemap.xml and added the individual collection pages from it directly into Google Search Console (rather than relying solely on the main sitemap). After doing this, Google showed that it found multiple pages in those collections. I thought that meant it was finally working. But even now, none of my pages are showing as indexed, even though the sitemap was processed successfully. I don’t want to manually submit every single product or page—but maybe that’s what I have to do? I also tried removing the property from my Google Search Console account and adding it again, thinking that might reset things. But when I re-added the property, everything came back in the same state—so that didn’t help either. It seems there’s no way to completely wipe and reset a property. Any advice on how to get Google to actually crawl and index my Shopify site would be hugely appreciated. I just want to get this store properly listed in search. submitted by /u/kohleebree3d [link] [comments]

Ive been seeing this topic float around as of late. I’d love to hear from actual business owners, is SEO dead? Is it worth it to work with an SEO agency? Or should a business dump their resources elsewhere? Honest answers only, no promo. submitted by /u/Sharp-Ad2938 [link] [comments]

There's a lot of marketing hype around AI tools promising to skyrocket your rankings. I'm skeptical and I want to hear from people who can point to a specific campaign or page and say, "Using this AI tool for this specific purpose directly contributed to a measurable win." What was the tool, what did you do, and what was the result? No fluff, just real-world case studies. submitted by /u/CatGPT42 [link] [comments]

I care about doing my best for the client, maximizing all SEO efforts, so essentially ticking all the boxes, but after I tick all the boxes I don't care anymore, it's just on to the next client. It's actually quite nice to not obsess over what google chooses to do with the website, how well keywords rank, etc... Sometimes I think the worst part about working in SEO is obsessing over keyword rankings, conversions, GA metrics trying to squeeze out more juice when a lot of things are out of your hands. Google will do what it wants, users will visit, buy or not buy regardless of your amazing SEO. submitted by /u/crushplanets [link] [comments]

I just started to sell SEO services and have made two sales in two months. I have called 8 to 10 people and two agreed, which surprised me. I get a lot of generic SEO emails but as someone who has an online business, I have never had someone called me to sell SEO. I am new in SEO sales, but I am stating out and it seems the sales was easy. Was I just lucky or is there a lot of work in this business? Or does this mean SEO agencies are not working hard enough to call and prospect for new clients, especially cold calling. I don't even have a website and yet convinced two people to pay me for SEO. I thought this was a tough business to be successfully. Is this real or a fluke, What is going on ? Please share your experience. submitted by /u/DrewCanadian [link] [comments]

We've recently launched our new product, Cure VPN, but we're facing an issue with Google search visibility. When searching for our product by name—either as "Cure VPN" or "CureVPN"—our competitors, Secure VPN and PureVPN, consistently rank at the top of the search results instead of us. This is causing confusion and making it difficult for users to find our official site. Has anyone dealt with a similar brand overlap issue before? What strategies or SEO tactics can help improve visibility for a newly launched product name, especially when it resembles more established competitors? submitted by /u/CanFormal3845 [link] [comments]
