Want to rank better? Here are some items to look into for your site.<\/p>\n
A slow site is the number one reason for bounced visitors. Pay attention to site performance and gain ground and ranking! Use Yoast or RankMath to build a sitemap and your breadcrumbs with GeoDirectory integration. These plugins will help you make the most of your SEO oppotunities with GD. Unique, informative page titles and meta information are important so make sure to review your settings regularly to take advantage of all that content you are building into your site. Add unique category description information to your archive pages with the category description field and GD Category Description element. Each listing has a category. When categories are created or edited you can choose the Schema that will be applied to the listing data. Choose the best schema match for the biggest SEO impact. Add unique information to your location pages with the location description field and GD Location Description element. Merge locations that don’t have any listings in them to remove the URLs from your sitemap. We always recommend merging instead of deleting.
