SEO Q&A

15:50 Are we gonna talk about that On-Page Optimization Post you just Posted?

28:24 Do you ever hotlink POI Images from Google?

38:23 I have a friend/realtor who is not able to get a google my business because she runs her realty group [compass realty] INSIDE another brokerage firm [ULTIMA REALTY] The agent my friend has been in communication with google even over the phone and google keeps saying because of the fact her ERRORS AND OMISSIONS insurance says she Works for Compass Realty which is a dba of Ultima realty. So as far as google is concerned, they are indexing ULTIMA REALTY AT that specific address I was thinking, she should get a virtual address in the town and work towards moving that google my business into the 3-pack. What would you say?

42:40 How do you know if you have an Agency Account OR Not?

43:50 Do I have to make a new email to make that an agency account?

49:50 I have client site that has 161 keywords ranking on Google Page ONE position 1 to 3 organically and all of a sudden in Search Console/Coverage it is showing almost all of the pages having been marked NO INDEX when they are NOT and never have been. HOWEVER, The over all Visibility is still showing as 97%. Should I be concerned about the marked as NO INDEX issue in Search Console?
