Does Having A Truncated URL An Issue With Ranking Service Pages?
In episode 292 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU-YnNuh37A), one participant asked if having a truncated url an issue with ranking service pages.
The exact question was:
Hi gents. I have a site structure question you may be able to help me with. I have a local site that has it's sub-menu pages off a parent menu (eg ervices) not showing the full url path. In fact it removes theervices part and only shows the truncated path domain.com/page-1 instead of showing the full path domain.com/services/page-1. Is that an issue with ranking service pages, and how does Google see this? thank you for all you do for this community!!!

In episode 469 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked how to manipulate the auto complete options in the search tab.
The exact question was:
Hi, I thought that you would know about this and be able to explain it to me. . . . . I’ve seen a very prominent marketer promoting his product that allows you to manipulate Google Search’s auto-complete drop-down options to list a specific business close to the top of those options . . . For example, a search for “DUI Attorney Austin TX” might show an “auto-complete” option in the drop-down options for “Michael Patterson DUI Attorney Austin TX” . . . . How would I go about manipulating the auto-complete options to include a specific business name? . . . . Thank you very much for your help.
