I’m curious about what’s new, what do you expect?

This will be my longest road trip solo, and with my two dogs in tow. I plan on exercising them the evening before we leave and stopping for hikes/dog parks as often as possible.

Any tips I may not be thinking of? I have travel crates and portable bowls. Unsure of how to navigate using the restroom as a woman without leaving them in the car, which I don’t like doing in this heat.

Launching yourself into the e-commerce arena doesn’t need to be daunting. By tapping into online communities, utilizing freelancing platforms, and taking initiative with direct outreach, you can find opportunities with those just as eager to grow. The key is to offer genuine value and enthusiasm to build a rewarding and educational partnership. Good luck on your e-commerce journey!

Hi all, I’m looking for any itinerary feedback for my solo trip to Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.  I know I could spend a lot longer (my whole trip) in any of these countries, but my goal was to experience a number of different areas while not being too rushed and having time to explore.  I’ve included some items of interest but would love any personal suggestions. As this is my first time traveling abroad, just looking for any feedback/making sure my itinerary is reasonable.

Thank you!

The site code is managed by a third-party specialist, but I just wanted to check if the attached image shows good results on the dashboard?

I dont know how to post images here, so Im going to write the results bellow:

\—-

Core Web Vitals >> Mobile

\- 0 Valid URLs
\- 1151 URLs need improvement
\- 0 Good URLs

Graphs have shown these results for more than two months, and I’ve noticed a drastic drop in Discover (webstories) and on the pages themselves. Could there be a relation?

Hey SEO pros 👋

I’m a marketing gal (30, agency side) working with a law firm client who’s currently working with an SEO vendor. We built them a gorgeous new website on WordPress; they love it, we love it, and everyone’s excited to launch…

Except their SEO vendor hit the brakes and told them *all* their SEO progress will be lost if we publish the new site.

Now, I’m not here to say they’re being overly dramatic (because I genuinely don’t know!), but… surely there’s a way to launch a new site without throwing years of SEO work into the abyss?

Both the current site and the new one are built in WordPress. I’m familiar with meta descriptions, tags, and as part of our SOPs the URLs are always matched to the old site so there aren’t any issues there (Also plan to import/export all their blogs to the new site). But when it comes to redirects, URL structure, and whatever secret sauce you all work with, I’m 100% out of my depth.

So I’m here looking for some advice:

* What should I ask or coordinate with the SEO vendor to make this a smooth transition?
* Are there common mistakes to avoid when launching a redesigned site so we don’t tank their rankings?
* Should we be looking at tools, plugins, or audits before going live?

My #1 priority is making sure the client keeps whatever traction they’ve built. Any tips or even “don’t do this!” horror stories would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!
