The post MobileMoxie’s Newest Addition: The SERPerator SEO Chrome Extension appeared first on MobileMoxie Blog.
]]>A few weeks ago, we launched our landing page tester, the Page-oscope as a free-to-use Chrome extension. We were absolutely blown away by the positive reception and feedback we received. So, we decided to launch our SEO tool, the SERPerator, as a free Chrome extension as well!
This is huge for SEO. Now, whenever you make a Google search query, simply click the extension and it will load up the same Google search in a new window. You’ll then be able to see how the search appears on an iOS, Android, and Desktop device! You’ll also get parsed SERP data that includes metrics such as ‘Pixels from the Top’ and ‘Percent of the SERP’ that each ranking element represents. The SERPerator is also fully location-aware so you’ll be able to test the search from ANYWHERE in the world. Additionally, our tool is very popular with Google PPC Specialists who like to use it to validate PPC ad placements & landing pages on specific search results – at specific locations.
The best part? It’s free to use!
Without even creating an account, you can get 10 free tests every day with the new MobileMoxie SERPerator Chrome Extension.
P.S – Switching between iOS, Android, and Desktop devices only will use one test.
Check it out in the Chrome Web Store.
We really hope you enjoy this tool and will let us know what you think of it!

]]>We’re super excited to have rolled out MobileMoxie’s first-ever Google Chrome Extension. Now, you can use our most popular tool – the Page-oscope, a mobile landing page tester, inside your favorite browser. Simply install the extension and load up any landing page you’d like to test. Next, click the Page-oscope Chrome Extension icon, (we recommend pinning it to the top of your browser!.) The extension will load the page you’re on in a brand new tab, and there you can view the landing page loaded on iOS, Android, or desktop devices! Each device is fully interactive so feel free to scroll or click anywhere you want! You can also see rendered and unrendered page code from each device, as well as a diff checker that shows how the code changes in rendering. This can be a useful tool for development and SEO alike. For technical SEO, use the page code viewer for edge-SEO, and validate what page code is being rendered on various devices. You can also just use it to test conversion-rate optimization changes and conversion funnels for your website!
The best part?
It’s completely free to use – you’ll get access to 10 free tests every day without the need to even sign up for an account. And each test includes all 3 devices, so changing between devices does not count against your remaining tests. (We really do just want to make awesome tools.)
We really hope you enjoy this tool and will let us know what you think of it!

]]>The post How to Set-Up WebPageTest to Evaluate Technical SEO appeared first on MobileMoxie Blog.
]]>This article is an instructional guide to help you accurately test load time using WebPageTest.org. It is a supporting tutorial that is part of the MobileMoxie Technical SEO Article Series. In May 2021, Google released one of their biggest algorithm updates after the roll-out of Mobile-First Indexing, announcing that load time and user engagement would soon become more important ranking factors. They have also pre-announce the Experience Update that has been delayed, but will now start rolling out in July of 2021. These changes to the Google search algorithm increase the need for technical tools that provide detailed feedback on page load time and on-page technical problems overall.
While Lighthouse is a great tool, sometimes it doesn’t give you everything you need. At MobileMoxie, we believe that WebPageTest.org is one of the most undervalued tools in the SEO industry. The tool provides detailed information about the health of your pages and helps analyze things like round trip requests, asset errors, redirects, caching concerns, security information, and more. Developed by Patrick Meenan, the open-source tool was acquired in 2020 by Catchpoint. It was recently updated, but has been providing free and valuable load time analysis for years. In this article, we will review how to set up WebPage Test for SEO testing and highlight important settings and results in the tool.
NOTE: MobileMoxie does not have any partnership with WebPageTest; we just love the tool!
This was a basic tutorial for setting up a load time analysis in WebPage Test, and comparing mobile and desktop load times. This information can help you know what to fix for better performance in Mobile-First Indexing and Core Web Vitals. WebPage Test is one of the most extensive technical SEO tools on the market that can be used for free, to help with SEO. It provides detailed information on page assets and load time, as well as other technical concerns. MobileMoxie has created this article series about Technical SEO (full list included below) and it includes many tutorials that leverage WebPage Test data. Reviewing these other metrics will help your company and/or your clients improve critical technical issues which negatively impact SEO.

]]>Crawling, indexing, rendering and ranking are the 4 basic elements of SEO. This article will focus on how robot instructions can be improved to have a positive site-wide impact on SEO and help you manage what pages on your website should and should not be indexed for potentially ranking in Google, based on your business strategy.
Google will crawl and index as many pages on a website that they can. As long as the pages are not behind a login utility, Google will try to index all the pages it can find, unless you have provided specific robot instructions to prevent it. Hosting a robots.txt file with crawling instructions at the root of your domain is an older way to provide the search engine guidance about what should and should not be indexed and ranked on the site; It tells the search engine crawlers which pages, directories and files should or should not be indexed for potential ranking in Google or other search engines. Now, for most indexing, Google sees the robots.txt instructions as a recommendation, not a requirement (the main caveat here is that the new Google crawler, Duplex Bot, used for finding conversational information, still relies on the robots.txt file, as well as a setting in Search Console, if you need to block its access. (This will be discussed further in a future article.) Instead, Google has begun considering on-page robots instructions the primary resource for guidance about crawling and indexing. Instead, Google has begun considering on-page robots instructions the primary resource for guidance about crawling and indexing. On-page robots instructions are code that can be included in the <head> tag of the page to indicate crawling indexing instructions just for that page. All web pages that you do not want Google to index must include specific on-page robot instructions that mirror or add to what might be included in the robots.txt file. This tutorial explains how to reliably block pages that are otherwise crawlable and not behind a firewall or login, from being indexed and ranked in Google.
Robots instructions are critical for SEO because they allow webmasters to manage and help with indexability of their websites. Robots.txt file and On-Page Robots Instructions (aka: robots meta tags) are two ways of telling search engine crawlers to index or ignore URLs on your website. Knowing the directives for every page of your site helps you and Google to understand the accessibility & prioritization of the content on your site. As a Best Practice, ensure that your Robots.txt file and On-Page Robots Instructions are given matching mobile and desktop directives to Google and other crawlers by auditing for mismatches regularly.

]]>
July 31th: Changes in Agency SEO
VIP Guests Include:
Mike King (iPullRank) iPullRank
Abby Hamilton (@abbynhamilton) Merkle
Jamar Ramos (@JamRam33) CrunchyLinks
Public Calendar Invite: https://bit.ly/AgencySEO
Conference Room: https://mobilemoxie.com/round-table/
We will send out reminders in Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere, and hope that you will share the information. The round-table discussion will kick-off with a quick explanation of the topic, and the various perspectives that people in the industry have about it. If you have thoughts on the topic that you want to share, we would love to hear them. If you have questions on the topic, we would also love to hear those. If you have ever wanted to discuss an SEO topic with someone in the industry, invite them – this might be your time! These will not be private discussions – They are open to anyone, and they will also be recorded, and (when technology allows) they will be published on the MobileMoxie YouTube channel.
Please just tweet to @MobileMoxie with questions, topic ideas and suggestions, and we will work on getting a more official submission form soon – We would love to hear from you! In the long run, if attendance and demand seems to be high enough, we will increase the schedule, and make this a weekly event, but we want to hear from you, if this is something that you would want to incorporate into your weekly schedule.
Next Month:
August 28th: Changes in News SEO
For each topic, we will arrange at least one or two guests of honor, who have a specialty or expertise on the topic area. They won’t do a presentation, though we might ask them to introduce the topic or explain the concept, to help get the conversation going. The idea is to crate a supportive and inquisitive forum for conversation. While debate and disagreement will be actively encouraged, as a means of discussion and learning, anyone who is rude or disrespectful will be ejected from the event, because we want people to feel free to express their ideas in a hostility-free environment.
At MobileMoxie, we love to discuss new ideas, concepts and trends that we see in our industry. For years, we have done that at conferences, but now that everyone is traveling less, we thought it might be a fun idea to do it digitally – so we are excited to continue organizing these, to help build community communication, and exploration of new ideas and concepts in the industry. We hope you will join us!
