I have a question about information architecture regarding the redesign of a small (50 page) professional services B2B site. This client will have about 15-20 pages on their different services which all relate to managing energy. You can buy individual elements of their service such as procurement or go for the full service bells and whistles. I havent finished working out the journeys that the different audiences will take as yet but as its quite a simple site Im wondering if there is value in adding folders to create a hierarchy or whether Im just as well keeping all service pages at the top level of domain.com/service1 and domain.com/service2 etc. It doesnt make sense to divide the services by type of energy eg electricity, water, gas etc as the service is exactly the same. Ill have a navigational path for that journey but Im thinking of the IA at the moment. Just for context, Im a lone consultant now having sold our digital marketing agency 2 years ago. I miss my hugely talented team who I could ask my dumb questions to so I really appreciate being in this website where I know the advice is always exceptional.

Not sure if this counts as an SEO question but I need some help/advice with this as getting a number of 503 errors over the past few days… and I am looking for someone reliable/trustworthy etc Reply from Siteground We have conducted a detailed investigation and it turned out that your application executes slow queries towards its database, which eventually hogs the server. The server tries to execute your slow queries while putting other processes in the queue until some memory is freed. While they are waiting however, they stack up and cause further problems. There can be many reasons for slow database queries, but the following 3 are the most common ones 1. Large database 2. Not well written scripts 3. Large number of internal links that query the database directly. Note – I have recently changed permalinks and also installed Social Warfare social media plugin. Help anyone?

A dumb SEO question: Is the cached url the one used by Google for the SERPS – or is there (or could there) be another version of the url that is used in the live index?

My question is location. My seo troubles seem to be location. Depending where I am, my google rank changes based on general keywords. My seo performs well on location specific searches, but not broader terms. How do reach other nearby cities with general keywords? Do I need to create pages for each city? Specify region? Thanks for your thoughts! DG
