Hi Don,

Just watched the video and you kind of glossed over that Optimus button. Out of curiosity, I did find it but couldn’t easily install it and didn’t want to spend the time to figure out what I was doing wrong. I did find the Goggle Rich Snippets Testing Tool at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets which gave an error “Insufficient data to generate the preview.” Do you know what that means? Also I read somewhere that the latitude and longitude are part of the hCard structure and is possibly used by Google in its Local Search algorithm. If so, would you consider adding it to your SmallBiz Options page and into the hCard?

@Chris – yes that’s an excellent solution. That way you still have your city and state in the address field on each page. Then when you claim your Places Page in the Google Local Business center, you can indicate the area you serve and choose not to display the business address.

I’m appreciating your theme and your help! And I’m learning the ropes to making our site work for visitors as well as possible.

I had a question on the NAP–we’re not using a street address because we serve Northwest Missouri and go to auto shops, etc to do repairs. Should I use “Serving NW Missouri” as the street address, with City/State/Zip on the second line, to conform? When I put 4 lines of text in that block, it makes the top line too close to the title “bracket” for appearances sake.

I’d appreciate your advice on whether I’m screwing up the NAP by doing it the way it is now and whether I should change it back to 4 lines for local seo.

Thanks so much,
Chris

@Dannah - thank you! In fact, I just launched my Expand2Web Experts training and membership site here: http://members.expand2web.com and I’m using the WP Wishlist Plugin for WordPress. So far, I'm very happy with it. It has a ton of capabilities and is pretty easy to setup and get going.

Hey Don, I’m still LOVIN’ your theme. I have a quick question. I am looking into doing a membership site with your theme and am wondering which plug-in you recommend. I found one called WishList it looks pretty good (Easy to use) to me but wanted to know what you think. Always appreciate your insights.
Thanks So much, Dannah

Compare the file coding with one of the stock WordPress themes that came with your installation. They both are pretty SEO friendly out of the box. The blue one is better.
