Q&A:


 


16:58 Do you have any issues with keyword
cannibalization when creating blog posts like “10 tips for
finding a roofer in Cleveland Ohio”? I love creating the
geo-relevancy but sometimes worry it’ll actually take away from
the rankings of a key location page.


34:03 Is anyone else seeing long-term rank drops from
the June algorithm update? A couple GMBs with nothing spammy
going on had drastic drops and since are struggling to recover.
