Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation
-
I know optimisation is now considered 'old hat' but like many old hats not only is it comfortable but it is (in my experience) still functional and working in ranking websites.
Yes there are plenty of other drivers, but I still consider optimisation to be important, hence the question
Google Reviews Plugin - Does This Impact Negatively On SEO By Diluting Optimisation?
From my (limited in many ways) understanding this puts hundreds if not thousands of extra words on a page - so this must surely be reducing the amount of optimisation? And then could it actually lead to a decline in rankings?
Has anyone had any experience in this, I would love to use the Google Reviews plugin but just wanted to be sure first...
Many thanks
KT

@Kijeu745 Exactly I fully agree with you, that's why I have never used any nulled themes on my website. I personally believe that once you paly for something means that the cost is for the original product. I am highly against buying the nulled themes specially when you are having a money website like for example mine one is
ukskys.com. This is my bread and butter. If I use Nulled theme on it, it can get hacked. Saving few bucks will result in loss of entire business. -

I don't think so it is badly impact for SEO. It is an external script loading async on your website but there is a thing which might be considered as bad. Sometime users who reviewed on google has private profiles which makes their profile picture 404 not found in google reviews plugin. I have googled it but didn't find any solution. So, i have come up with the lazy load solution but that's not permalink. It is just delayed loading the images which render the page quickly. Without using the lazy load the 404 not found links might take extra seconds for requests. I used this plugin on my website https://aeroshield.me/ to show the reviews on my event but removed it because of 404 images errors. Other than this i think it is ok.
a. Go to source of website (right mouse click)
b. Use Chrome Ctrl+f to search "plugins" and you will find all the plugins installed.

Showing reviews on your website is a good idea to have social proof. But make sure to keep it watch regularly for broken links. You can use the broken link monitor plugin to keep things automated. for more info you view this boxing site which has borken link checker installed.
1- goto source of website
2- use chrome ctrl+f to search "plugins" and you will find all the plugins installed.
Thanks

Filter By Category bad for seo?
Hello Everyone! I know that a single product should not have filter by color option since it will create duplicate content, and you have to use canonical tags to solve it. BUT how about sorting through products via category/brands?
On-Page Optimization | | Safxmed
Filter by category changes the URL of the General shop page (ex: hello.com/Shop/Category1022039 ). This page only displays the products within, no content/ descriptions etc unlike the original category page (ORIGINAL CATEGORY PAGE) Each of these category/brand already have their own individual pages (ex: hello.com/Shop/A). This is the page that will be optimized for content, FAQ, and ranking etc. Unlike in the url created when filtering through the categories. So technically I would have 2 URL for each Brand/Category. Would they compete with each other? What would you guys suggest. Please advise me on this. Thank You0 -
Affect of ™ and ® in title for SEO
I am looking at adding the trademark and rights reserved symbols to some of my titles. I think this might help with click through rate. From what I have found, this shouldn't have an affect on SEO unless it makes the title too long. Is this correct? Stephen

Is it bad to include google Maps in footer?
We have 5 locations and we were thinking about including a map for each location in the footer. These would be set-up as no-follow links. They could potentially enhance user experience but it also increases size of footer. Right now there are just basic links to pages (sitemap, terms, etc), contact info, social links, and contact form. If we did the maps it would also include link to the individual location pages. Not sure if we are doing too much in footer or need to just keep it basic. Thanks for the help!
