- 1:38your business that does not give me time to address in this episode and this
- 1:42week, what we are going to talk about. Well, let' s
- 1:44make a summary of the most important questions that Google has answered is its Office
- 1:49Wars session, where it responds to doubts that users have about seo. The
- 1:55approach is a little more technical. But I think it is also very interesting
- 1:59is that it is cough of podcas that I go echoing these topics, because
- 2:02increasingly I find that local businesses have well worked their tab and where is the
- 2:08problem is really in the part of the web. I already remember that local
- 2:14positioning the date is the most relevant sixty percent, but the other forty percent
- 2:19has a lot to do with the web, with the authority part, with
- 2:22the review part. And the point is, when everyone is already working well
- 2:27on the tab, especially in highly competitive sectors, where you can make a
- 2:31difference is precisely in these parts. Then, for example, I have a
- 2:38consultancy with a client who doesn' t know because he' s mispositioning and
- 2:43that' s very clear. He has a clear problem at the technical level
- 2:46and the web and at a time that solves that is where he will be
- 2:52able to compete best in his area. And all this being said, we
- 2:53started with the summary of Google' s offis ars session on the first of
- 3:07the year. Let' s go with the first question. A user indicates
- 3:13that he has had a traffic crash on his website and wonders if it may
- 3:16have occurred because Google has identified what has another website. And the answer has
- 3:23been ambiguous, as usual on Google. At first, Google responds that is
- 3:28not likely, because there are many people who have more than one website and
- 3:31say the problem can be indirect, because if you have multiple websites you may
- 3:38not be able to dedicate quality to each one and that can be identified by
- 3:43our algorithms and, based on them, decide not to recommend your sites because
- 3:46they will not have enough quality. This answer could be summed up with the
- 3:52saying, which covers a lot of little hasty, but my question is you
- 3:57can' t have a team and delegate the jobs. That answer doesn'
- 4:00t make much sense to me. For me, what makes more sense is
- 4:04what another Google manager said at the time, who said it had to be
- 4:10taken into account if in Google being with the sun has websites that, on
- 4:14the one hand, one carries out, as black seo spam practices mixed with
- 4:17other properties with other websites that have the right behavior. In those cases,
- 4:24you might encounter some kind of indirect penalty. Because web can identify that your
- 4:30profile is suspicious and then the correct web without being affected. So there it
- 4:36is interesting that you work with two different accounts for websites where you might be
- 4:42doing some sort of test to see how different initiatives work and what business websites
- 4:47are. And this doesn' t just affect the UGSRS part with the sun
- 4:54myself, for example, with the chips. Besides, I don' t
- 4:57like working with businesses that carry out spam practices, but it' s true
- 5:01that maybe I get to a business that' s doing bad things. But
- 5:05because he doesn' t know he' s doing bad things, so I
- 5:09do like to leave those chips in another user, there in fallow, while
- 5:15we make the changes, because what I can' t afford is that some
- 5:18bad practices of some users affect the rest of my chips. So that part
- 5:24is important. And since we' re talking about googless with sun, I
- 5:29' m going to echo another question that a related user asked and the question
- 5:34was simple, it was the Google account used to verify a googles s domain
- 5:40with sun. It has to coincide with the owner of the website and the
- 5:45answer was very clear. Google does not care who has verified the ownership of
- 5:48the website. However, from an organizational and strategic point of view, it
- 5:55seems a bad practice to rely on agency employees' personal accounts to manage your
- 6:00company' s web presence. But what it is at gougles level is with
- 6:04the sun that doesn' t matter. He' s been able to verify
- 6:10the business website whoever it is. Let' s go with the next question
- 6:15where they tell us if it affects using low scripts or normal guilloches in the
- 6:21configuration of the web page URLs. To see, incorporating keywords into URLs hardly
- 6:25contributes to the ranking of web pages in WGLE search results, but it does
- 6:30matter what type of separators we use in URLs. Words should be separated with
- 6:39normal scripts. Why, because the normal script what it does is separate words,
- 6:45but the low scripts what they do is join words. And why is
- 6:50this problematic that sometimes websites have URLs with low scripts instead of normal scripts.
- 6:59Because behind that website has been a programmer and is that programmers are used to
- 7:03working the code with low scripts. And that' s why you find these
- 7:12casuistics. What to do if your website has a structure of URLs of this
- 7:16type, well, if your website works well, you don' t have
- 7:20to redo URLs. But for new webs and new URLs that you generate on
- 7:25your old website, I recommend that you go adopting this new way of creating
- 7:30WRLS and also avoid at the time of generating webls what are terms that do
- 7:35not contribute anything, such as a d a for uni for example, a
- 7:42chair for a terrace. I could have the terrace chair url, but in
- 7:49this case that d does not provide anything. Then the interesting thing is to
- 7:54put if already script terrace and since we are talking about URLs. Also,
- 7:58what I' m telling you is, please don' t capitalize on the
- 8:01URLs. You guys. I leave linked in the article a video from Google
- 8:07where explains precisely all this in case you want to deepen a little bit more.
- 8:11Let' s go with the next question. This is the star page
- 8:16management. It' s a classic, because I find that it' s
- 8:22usually so bad in web audits that I do before I tell you what the
- 8:26question was. Let' s understand with a metaphor. Key concepts in the
- 8:31world are tracking, inexoration, folo and not folo. Let' s go
- 8:37with it. Tracking is Google' s process to search for new or updated
- 8:43pages and add them to your index, i e index it. This comes
- 8:48to be like when you go to a supermarket and you decide well, I
- 8:52' ll take a look to see if I buy anything, because this take
- 8:58a look is tracking. In the end, if you decide to take something
- 9:01and put it in the shopping cart, that means that you are indexing it
- 9:07that in the end Google decides to put it in the search index and so
- 9:13it appears in the results. And then we go with the concept of follow
- 9:16and not follow. You can tell Google to follow so that, apart from
- 9:20seeing your page indexe, follow the links in it and not follow it if
- 9:26you don' t want it to follow the links. Well, following the
- 9:31supermarket example, on the one hand, you' ve been taking a look,
- 9:37you' ve done the tracking then you buy something and it' s
- 9:41happened to us many times that you buy something and you say mome when she
- 9:45comes home, she' s going to tell me that I bought this nonsense
- 9:48and that if she finds out about the price, that' s good,
- 9:52I take the price and she doesn' t even know good, because if
- 9:56you leave the price, it means you put it in Endex, that you
- 10:00let her get to the kitchen and see everything and that she also sees the
- 10:00links. And if you take the price off, it' s like you
- 10:03' re putting an index. I hope this has been made clear, because
- 10:07these concepts are very important when it comes to getting instructions from search engines on
- 10:13how to follow your website and how to analyze it. Well, what was
- 10:18the question. It was a little complicated, and it' s just hard
- 10:22for me to understand what I wanted to do. The user says on my
- 10:24site I want Google to track and index the different pages. Logical is what
- 10:31we all want, but not the paged search results and says if I use
- 10:37follow no index on my page, Google will not re- tract the results
- 10:43or index my pages. Then I just don' t know what I wanted
- 10:48to do. But to make it clear, the pages must always be worked
- 10:52in the same way. Follu inexplicable and canonicalized to themselves. Never page one
- 10:58of the block that that I find very much, and what is that about
- 11:03canonicalizing when you have different pages that are attacking maybe the same search intention.
- 11:11What you can do is help Google identify what is important about all of them
- 11:16and how you indicate it with a canonicalization. And you tell her listen this
- 11:20canonicalized is the important one? So, in the pages, each of those
- 11:28pages has the detail of different blog posts, and the articles that come on
- 11:33page one are different from those that come on page five and are different from
- 11:37what comes on page seven. So, what you can' t say is
- 11:41that page seven is canonicalized page one, because what you' re doing is
- 11:46burying your content, because if you' re telling it listen to page seven
- 11:50doesn' t matter, because it' s really page one, because as
- 11:54you write the content that goes on the different pages, being canonicalized, to
- 12:01the main page, because it' s not going to be taken into account.
- 12:03So that' s important? Then, summarizing, indexable pages, follow
- 12:09and canonicalized to itself and never to page one. And so that there is
- 12:13not so much depth in a website, I recommend increasing the number of posts
- 12:20per page and thus reducing the number of pagination links and Google can reach all
- 12:26your content more quickly and easily. I hope this part is clear, because
- 12:31it' s a classic. Faginations on web pages are usually overworked, so
- 12:37check how yours are to see if you have them the way you don'
- 12:41t owe them and that' s affecting the position of a lot of terms.
- 12:48Let' s go with the next question and it has to do with
- 12:52managing facets in unichomerce. The theme of facets can be complicated to understand.
- 12:58I told you that today we are going to get into more technical matters,
- 13:01but what I do want is for you to understand. Move it in a
- 13:05simple language so that when you hear it and above all, if it affects
- 13:11your website, you understand very well how you have to approach it. Well,
- 13:15facets are a method of filtering product catalog results that there is a web.
- 13:20By applying filters with different attributes, users can reach content more easily.
- 13:30Normally attributes, as they can be color, size or mark, and those
- 13:33facets are reflected in the aur with the interrogation symbol. For example, I
- 13:41' m looking at how it' s working half the sea and in this
- 13:48case I was looking for a computer of so many inches, and that'
- 13:50s reflecting on the url. And just when filtered by the attribute of reconditioned,
- 13:56there' s the ur le de media mar. What it does is
- 13:58put a question of service as reconditioned, because that' s what we call
- 14:05facet. So, knowing this, let' s go with the question the
- 14:07user asks. It says I have a shirt with different colors and I want
- 14:15it to be shared. I must use color hashtag or color questioner in the
- 14:20url. It says using hashtag. I make sure there' s only one
- 14:26indexable url in one url. The hashtag sign directs the browser to a specific
- 14:33point on a page or website, although it does not always go to the
- 14:37right part. Everything' s been said in passing from that place. So
- 14:41what does the user want. What you are looking for is to have in
- 14:46a single URL the different variants of the product and so without dexeo a single
- 14:50page with all the information. And here Google tells us that it can be
- 14:54an ingenious way to work it, but its documentation is quite clear about it
- 15:00and tells us that without the variants of the same product they share the same
- 15:05url. You have some limitations, such as, for example, not appearing
- 15:09in the enriched product results within the search pages, as this experience is only
- 15:15available on those pages that include a single product and if you are putting several,
- 15:22you are not going to appear in an enriched result. And what it
- 15:26tells us, if you decide to use a different URL for each variant,
- 15:33you can choose two options. On the one hand, what we call a
- 15:37route segment, that is, green bar t- shirt or a query parameter
- 15:41or facet, which is what we' re seeing today, which is Question
- 15:48T- shirt color equal to green. If you use optional query parameters or
- 15:52facets to identify the different product variables, use url without that facet as canonical
- 15:58url. In this way, Google better identifies the relationship between the different product
- 16:04variants. What am I talking about? It' s very simple, because
- 16:11here we start using terms and we complicate it. But it' s simple.
- 16:15The point is that if the url of the shirt you want to appear
- 16:19in the search results is the blue one, because don' t wear the
- 16:26question T- shirt color equal blue, leave it like the canonical vorre,
- 16:32and then don' t put facet on it. Then you would put T
- 16:37- shirt bar and that' s it, and then the variants are the
- 16:41ones that have to have the facet and then it would be T- shirt
- 16:44bar. Questionant green color. I hope that' s clear. If not,
- 16:48I think rewinding again and you hear me again. I believe that the
- 16:52knowledge that I am trying to bring to you is already well established. In
- 16:56this part we go with the next question chair that hears I have learned something
- 17:03new this week because at first I say what you are talking about, because
- 17:07what we call prominent texts and refers to the functionality of the legacy of the
- 17:14browser, where you can select a text fragment from a page and request a
- 17:21link right to that part of the page that will appear shaded to stand out.
- 17:26For that, what you do is go to the specific page, take
- 17:30the text you want to highlight and right- click it and there it tells
- 17:36you to copy link to the highlighted text. That way, when you'
- 17:41re mentioning something you commented on in a previous episode, for example, you
- 17:47say I leave you a link. So far, what I was doing was
- 17:49I was making you link to the whole episode. But if I want you
- 17:52to look at one part, in particular, if I copy the link to
- 17:59the highlighted text, when you click it will go right to that part of
- 18:04the url highlighting the text in question. The truth is that super useful,
- 18:08especially when we are talking about documentation as very long, very extensive, and
- 18:15the user can be lost, because it is a way to direct him and
- 18:18that the navigation is much more direct and simple. The way this url is
- 18:23shaped is with a hashtag symbol followed by an identifier that includes the words of
- 18:30that text with some kind of symbol and, as I say, it is
- 18:34very interesting to improve the user experience when we are facing a very complicated or
- 18:40very long text. Here I leave you an example of a link and refer
- 18:45you to another part of my blog, where you can see precisely what I
- 18:49mean. Well, the question the user was asking was whether, by linking
- 18:52a url to a highlighted text link, the fish rang influences the page in
- 19:00the same way, that is, the force of authority and the answer was
- 19:03that, from a search point of view, any hashtag symbol is ignored and
- 19:07what follows so it has no special effect, that is, it is just
- 19:11a normal link. If it were to affect you, then we could say
- 19:18come on. We will put links of this type and over to a part
- 19:22of a text where there are many interesting kiwrs that will surely help me position.
- 19:27Well, in the end, since you don' t take into account
- 19:32the part of the words in the url and all that a priori, it
- 19:37seems that that kind of actions doesn' t affect what the search- level
- 19:41ranking is. And let' s go with the last question I asked myself
- 19:45and it was mandatory to have sidemaps. It can name a site map file
- 19:51or be different from the usual XML or MCN site under XML index, because
- 19:59we have to start from the base that you don' t really need to
- 20:03have a site map although it is highly recommended for Google to know how you
- 20:10' re structured your content and don' t miss any url that is important
- 20:14and maybe it' s orphan, that is, not linked from any site
- 20:18on your website. But if you choose to have a sitemap or more,
- 20:22because, for example, when you have the script sitemap under XML index point,
- 20:27different sitemaps and sitemats of more than page categories are displayed on it.
- 20:32The sithmat articles, then in the end, if you decide to have sitemaps,
- 20:37you can name them whatever you want. And, for example, John
- 20:40Moller, who was responsible for Google who was answering this question, said that
- 20:44those topics were called joh Moo by his name love Ches. They like the
- 20:49originality of power. What is important is that the sidemap is reflected in the
- 20:56TxT robot file, which is where you are giving the instruction is to the
- 21:00different search engines and if they already know from there what your sightmap is,
- 21:06because much better and is that with the gtmas you can provide information about the
- 21:11different contents that are found in your pages, also as they are videos,
- 21:15images and news. For example, video entries on a sidemab can indicate the
- 21:18duration, category, and recommended one- way rating of videos. The images
- 21:23can include location information and news can also include the title of the article and
- 21:29the date of publication. It is also true that what Google tells us is
- 21:37that having sidemaps is not mandatory and especially in small sites. I, however,
- 21:42love to work with syde more to have them advertised in the Xt robots
- 21:48so that Google has no doubt and don' t miss out, especially with
- 21:52URLs, which are important for my business, because that' s it.
- 21:56Yeah. We' ve addressed the lass, the most interesting questions that'
- 22:02s ever been in this Google awar offist. It' s been a different
- 22:06episode than I usually do on board. But I really wanted to get into
- 22:10these technical issues because it is important that you understand how different things work on
- 22:15a technical level, because they also help you to start. As I say
- 22:19to you, always having the tab in perfect conditions is an essential condition,
- 22:26but not enough to know and know all these technical topics and to have the
- 22:32web in order is very, very relevant, so up to here today'
- 22:36s episode. I hope it has been of interest to you and, of
- 22:40course, that you can apply it to your local business websites as always.
- 22:44Thank you very much to everyone for your five- star reviews on Apple Podcast
- 22:48and Spotify, and also your likes on Evox and remember that you can listen
- 22:53to me on other platforms like Google Podcast, Amazon Music back Odcast on all
- 22:59of them and if you write it to the local business podcast, better than
- 23:03better, because that way you give me a shot of visibility, of authority
- 23:07to position also in the algorithms of podcasting services. And now we only have
- 23:11to close it, but only until next week where we will hear again and
- 23:18where, and so, where it will be here in local businesses. Happy week.
