Your videos are great! I think I just need to be patient and let the Crawl complete before I worry too much about anything else.

[@roxanarruiz]

This video is so helpful! I need to dive deeper into the Core Web Vitals, I have no data showing up in that section. Thanks for the video!

[@MariahMagazine]

Aw yay, happy to hear that!! Yeah CWV can be its own rabbit hole lolol

[@mariaaksiantsiuk]

Thank you so much for the video! I really liked your step by step guide and explanation of every section.

[@MariahMagazine]

Thank you! I appreciate it ✨🥳

[@LeeOConnor-o8n]

So helpful! Perfect overview. Thanks!

[@MariahMagazine]

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful 😊

[@thejostreeshow3798]

Very helpful. Why didn't I listen to this earlier. You are so good!

[@MariahMagazine]

Thank you!! I appreciate that. I’m glad it was helpful 🙌✨

[@wrenchfusion]

Thank you for this such a beautiful informative video.

[@MariahMagazine]

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful 😊

[@KeepCalmandCraftOn]

I am binge watching your content! It's so helpful! QUESTION: Do you suggest we "request indexing" when we update SEO on a page? Or does Google automatically do that at some point?

[@MariahMagazine]

Yayyyy, this is the best feedback ever!! I’m so glad 😊🙌🥰 yes, I totally recommend you request indexing after updating a page. Google will *likely* find it, but requesting can speed up the process. You can only request 10 pages in 24 hours tho so just keep that in mind.

[@SuhaanwahilaSuhaanwahila]

Thank you!

Thank you 🙌

[@CruisingSolutions-w5p]

Have you created any videos on how to correct Structure errors?

[@MariahMagazine]

I have not, no

[@tahirzion]

wow just the video i needed. i’m sorry for the impromptu question, but how would you recommend someone to break into the digital marketing space as a generalist or an SEO related role? I see you are also from the buffalo area and I’ve been using your videos to help improve my blog that I started in hopes of having real world digital marketing experience.

[@MariahMagazine]

Yay, thank you! I appreciate that. I’m glad my videos are helpful. In terms of exploring the industry, start with test projects and start experimenting until you can get results. You learn so much by implementing vs. just learning!

[@AmeerHussain-bl4ij]

Mariah YOUR VDOS ARE PRETTY HELPFUL. COMING FROM A GUY WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ABCS OF SEO. I would like to connect with you if you allow.

[@MariahMagazine]

Aw yay, I’m so glad they’re helpful! Thanks for commenting ✨

[@inactiveuser11]

Can you do a video on Bing Webmaster Tools? I've seen some SEO experts mention it. Would like to know your thoughts.

[@MariahMagazine]

That’s a good idea. I’ll had it to my videos idea list for future ones!

[@thecounsellingacademy]

I am completely new to SEO I have followed your advice and got google business, Analtics and Search Console for our website. I have added the tags and the sitemap. But I am not getting any data yet it has only been 24 hours since I set it all up is this why ?

[@MariahMagazine]

Sometimes it can take a bit to start showing data, you don’t have enough website traffic to see anything yet, or you might have things setup improperly. It’s hard to say without seeing things.

[@cloud-vu3mf]

Thanks for your video! That's useful for me! And I have a question: The Google Search Console shows "Your website rating is out of the specified range, and the value in ratingcount must be positive." I have tried to watch a lot of teaching, but I still can't solve it. What should I do?

[@MariahMagazine]

Hmmmm I’ve never seen that notice so unfortunately I’m not sure

[@cloud-vu3mf]

@@MariahMagazine Okay. Anyway, thanks for your reply

[@gratefulgrows]

Great video! One question, why is my mobile information listed under Page Experience

[@TheMrslay]

Hi Mariah you're doing amazing work thank you so much. I did have a question. I have 52,000 not indexed pages on my Google console. I haven't been able to go through everyone of them, 27,000 are 'Alternate page with proper canonical', 6000 'Page with redirect' and 12,000 'Not found (404)' ( these seems to be products that I have archived on my Shopify store). My question is since I don't want to delete these products from my Shopify store permanently does it affect my google ranking/SEO in anyway leaving them as is?

[@MariahMagazine]

Google Search Console errors are tricky bc they’re not always errors. It depends on context. Sometimes they’re just saying what’s happening and it’s what you want to happen. Like a “proper canonical” - good. That’s what we want. So with this stuff, it all depends on context. Sometimes there’s nothing for you to do. Sometimes there is. Hopefully that helps!

[@EhtizanEditor1]

Hey Mariah, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

[@MariahMagazine]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I’m not looking for help at this time.

[@trader2500]

Thanks Mariah another great video- re Google page results you ref circa position 1-10 = page 1 but now Google has rolled out scrolling is the metric still the same roughly plus does scrolling make the goal of 1-10 more or less important or no real difference? Hope that makes some sort of sense! Regards Ashley

[@MariahMagazine]

Thank you!! Studies have found post-scrolling update that the top 10 still get the most clicks. Clicks on position 10+ after the scrolling rollout have increased slightly (like 5%) but not anything wild. Hopefully that helps!

[@cheezemonkeyeater]

Google Search Council.

[@MariahMagazine]

My NY accent can’t help it lol

[@cheezemonkeyeater]

@@MariahMagazine I'm betting the Search Council are the people who decided to remove "Don't be evil" from the company motto.

[@say_thename]

Hi Mariah, i tried indexing my url and it shows quota exceeded and i have indexed 30 urls so far. Can you please provide solution to this problem

[@MariahMagazine]

You can only submit a set limit of separate pages each day in GSC. Waiting a day or 2 could help!

[@Mxgtr1569]

Thank you for doing this video Mariah! Mine stops after the ‘most popular content’ and there's no data in ‘how people find you’ or anything down from there. 😢 You’re saying 10 sites per page is considered page 1 of Google right? I have a query that says position 3 so that would make it page 1 on Google, but when I do an incognito search, I’m not seeing my url. Am I looking at this the wrong way? 👀 Also, are you still active on IG cause your last post was October 2022.

[@MariahMagazine]

Unfortunately it’s hard to give feedback from a KZbin video without seeing things one on one so I can’t really say. Hmmm maybe you found the wrong one? I’m active on IG

[@AA-wb2gb]

hi, how do you reoptimize a page?

[@MariahMagazine]

I have a video on my channel about “how to optimize a page for SEO” - that video would explain it, you’d just do it with your updated keyword
