Welcome to the Q&A Forum

On December 1 and 2, I implemented a cookie banner on 5 of my Wix sites (https://www.sanitationsolutionsinc.com is one example) in order to be in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD. Since then my traffic according to Wix Analytics and Google Analytics has plummeted. Anyone else have the same issue? How did you fix it?

No, I haven't reported anything to the Google Help forum in a while. Got a link?

Miriam,

Thanks for sharing the two articles. I'm curious to know what your Google Local Guide Level is?  In your Moz article, it appears you had very good results. Currently my guide level is a 5 and I'm thinking that has something to do with why I don't see the kinds of results you're seeing. Also, I am pretty much a team of one. Do you have a team of others who also click the "suggest an edit" button when you've identified spam?

I agree with Thomas. If your backlinks are white hat, there should be nothing to worry about.

"Suggest an edit" on Google Maps works occasionally and so does Google's Redressal Form. Sending a DM to @GoogleMyBiz on Twitter does too. But it seems like the vast majority of spammy businesses that I report, go unnoticed by Google. I'd really appreciate hearing from some other SEOs on how they remove crap from the map, with better results. Thanks.

Brent,

Thank you for pointing out the two H1 tags. I thought it was one tag, but now I see that it's not.

As for breaking out _flat, metal, tile, and shingle, _that's the way WCFE's previous site was set up but those pages didn't rank well. I figured it was due to them not having enough content to stand on their own. So I decided to combine them into one page, thinking that Google would reward it with a tremendous amount of helpful content. That hasn't been the case, unfortunately.

Thanks for all the other links too. I've got a lot of homework to do!

No worries about the single page site, Miriam.

I have created other websites on the wix platform such as MontessoriAmerican.com and this site ranks fine for preschools in the Chula Vista, CA area. But there are others that aren't ranking as well. So it's been hit or miss.

Thanks for the Moz community article "wix, is it any good for seo?" I have to say that there is much more functionality now than when that thread originated in 2013. Even since 2015, it's gotten better...many of my pages are getting indexed by Google.

Your suggestions for a unique page for each city and a unique page for each service are probably what I'll do. We are a small-to-medium company. Thanks again!

Oh I see. I've been wondering a bit if that was the case. Has anyone else had the same issues with their Wix websites that you know of?

Thanks for the feedback Miriam.

1. I'm a little unclear as to what you mean when you say a "one-page website." WestCoastFLEnterprises.com has approximately 31 pages. Do you mean platforms such as Wix?

2. Our company has 4 main services with 4 dedicated pages to them:

• Roofing - http://www.westcoastflenterprises.com/#!roofing/bbb1e
• Concrete - http://www.westcoastflenterprises.com/#!concrete/ui78c
• Steel trusses - http://www.westcoastflenterprises.com/#!steel-trusses/vtsgi
• Custom welding - http://www.westcoastflenterprises.com/#!custom-welding-ornamental/lc1tj

Our main service area is Naples, FL with secondary emphasis in Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral. Do you mean I should create a separate page for each service in each city in this fashion? "Roofing Naples",  "Concrete, Naples," "Steel trusses, Naples," and "Custom Welding, Naples?"

3. Thank you for these links. I'll check them out.

4. YES!! I put a ton of effort into the content on this page and I almost feel as though Google might be penalizing it.

5. We scored 97% on Moz.com/local! Woo hoo!

Thank you again for your help.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Actually, it is mobile friendly. I built it in Wix which creates both desktop and mobile versions of the site.

Nope, it's not secure yet. Wix doesn't offer this functionality yet.

You're right about the page source. For some reason, Wix only shows the source code for the home page even when I try to view the source code for all of the inner pages. They explain a little more here: https://www.wix.com/support/html5/article/viewing-your-sites-source-code. So here is the actual source code: view-source:http://www.westcoastflenterprises.com/?escaped_fragment=roofing/bbb1e

Yes, I've fetched and rendered through Google Search console but it doesn't really do anything.

1. It never seems to save the full url after the domain name. I think there must be an issue with the hashbang (#!).
2. There's just a checkmark under the Render Requested column.
3. It simply says "partial" under the Status column.

Try adding rich snippets and/or schema markup to your website. Schema is clear language that search engines understand very well and could potentially lead to getting your sitelinks to appear faster. Try these links to help you in your quest. Good luck!
