I have an seo consultant who has sent me this
Your website inner pages URL’s having special characters so the URL’s are not search engine friendly. These urls needs to be rewrite to make them search engine friendly. Kindly some of the urls for your reference:
https://www.globalsounddirectory.com/?geodir_search=1&sgd_placecategory%5B%5D=25&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=
https://www.globalsounddirectory.com/?geodir_search=1&sgd_placecategory%5B%5D=26&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=can you please help?
September 6, 2018 at 4:21 pm #445637Hi,
wow. if a SEO consultant would give me such a ignorant suggestion, I would run away from him/her as fast as I could.
Cause it sure doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Examples:
That’s how search works on 100% of websites…
Thanks
October 11, 2018 at 4:57 pm #449354Hi,
I’m a little confused here. I read the blog on the wordpress directory themes and you mentioned that the themes have no search archives so google will not rank me for e.g. for Italian restaurants in San Diego. So how does Geodirectory come round this problem?
October 11, 2018 at 5:05 pm #449357We have archives with SEO optimized URL for each category/location combo. Example:
Hotels in New York: https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/places/united-states/new-york/new-york/hotels/
For that page you can edit all meta tags (which you can’t on search pages) and also add a unique description for each location/category combo.
That’s how we do it.
Thanks
October 11, 2018 at 5:30 pm #449363Ah I think I am getting the picture a bit clearer. So how do I create that archive? I searched through the documentation but can’t seem to find instructions for that.
Do I just create a search myself and there is like an archive button for me to archive that?
Is the archive created when users search a combo or do I have to create the combo myself? So if it’s a combo that I did not create, then google will not display my website when people google search for that combo?
October 11, 2018 at 5:38 pm #449365Archives are created automatically.
For example go here: http://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/
In the main menu switch location to New York, then browse the Hotels category.
Thanks
October 11, 2018 at 9:52 pm #449383Create a test page, and you will links to all your pages if you add these shortcodes:
[gd_location_tab_switcher]
[gd_advanced_search]
[gd_login_box]
[gd_cpt_categories]
[gd_location_switcher]This may be handy too: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/searching-and-browsing/
Here are a few samples of your archive pages:
All studios: https://www.soundfinder.co/places/recording-studios/
All studios in the US: https://www.soundfinder.co/places/united-states/audio-visual/You also should restore your location page: go to your trashed pages and restore the location page:
https://www.soundfinder.co/location__trashed/united-states/By default Supreme category pages look like this https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/places/hotels/ but you have modified your pages.
Thanks
October 15, 2018 at 5:47 am #449682Oh I see. Thank you so much Paolo and Guust. The clear instructions presented by Guust and the links are especially useful. Thank you so much!
October 15, 2018 at 6:18 am #449685You’re welcome:)
