Why won't my keyword search results appear on google's top 50?
-
They are only appearing on Bing and Yahoo, can anyone share some insight?Help? Here is the URL: www.aaexs.com

We would really need more information to answer this such as what position in Bing and Yahoo is the site? What keywords you are targeting? Has your site dropped in rankings or always positioned low?
There could be a number of reasons why you are not ranking well. Without more info it would be hard to give a better answer.

Your site is very poorly optimized. You would benefit a lot by implementing basic SEO best practices. A good place to start is here: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo
Regarding Bing/Yahoo, Bing has a 10 year agreement to control Yahoo's search results so they are basically the same company from a search result perspective. They have different ownership then Google and operate differently. If you have an outstanding site, then your results may be aligned but otherwise there is often differences.
What keyword are you trying to rank for? A best practice is to focus a single keyword per page. Your home page title is: Roof Installation, Roofing Contractor, Siding Contractor Chicago, IL. Apparently you are trying to rank for multiple words which will not yield the best results.
Another sign of your keyword focus is your H1 tag which is missing on your home page.
When I search Google for "All American Exterior Solutions" you rank #1. If you want to rank for "roof installation" there is a lot of SEO work to perform. Your home page only uses the term a single time in content and it is not in the first sentence so it does not appear to be the focus of the page. You also have another page of your site which is better optimized for the term: http://www.aaexs.com/residential/roofing
Also, your footer is incredibly spammy.
Google desires to return relevant, quality pages in their search results. You may be a great company but your web pages need to improve in order to rank in Google for the terms related to your business.

Did you create a sitemap and submit it to Google through a Webmaster account (I'm making an assumption you have one)? That's one of the best ways to get them to crawl and index your pages.

Google's Search Algorithm update to 'Local Snack Pack'
Hi there - I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a big shift in the Google Local 'snack pack' in the past 48 hours? We have noticed a big change in clients results - specifically today. Has anyone else noticed any changes or perhaps data on possible changes? I am aware of this update: https://www.seroundtable.com/big-google-search-algorithm-ranking-update-29953.html but perhaps there maybe another update since. Any input would be much appreciated! Phil.

Google Images search traffic and image thumbnail issues
Hi MOZ community! Need a little help with a strange issue we are seeing of late on our project CareerAddict.com. We have seen a sudden and significant drop in image visibility in Search Console from the 27th August onwards. I understand that Google has been updating their filters and other bits in image search, so maybe this could have impacted us? I also noticed that the images which are mapped to our articles are not the full featured article 700px wide images which we provide to Google in the Structured Data. They are instead taking the OG share 450px wide images now on many occasions. You can see this by searching for "careeraddict.com" in images. Any insight or suggestions welcome on both of these. Interested to understand if any other webmasters are experiencing other or similar problems with image visibility in Google also. Thanks!

44 terms dropped out of the top 3 results on google this past week.
Can anyone take a look at the site and offer suggestions as to what I can do. My visibility went from 13% to 2% over the past two months. I had 800 organic terms prior to this now I am falling off a cliff. Have no idea what happened. I just switched over to HTTPS 3 weeks ago and it has helped a little.

How come google image search doesn't link to the right page?
For one site I work with the images link to the home page of the site rather than the page the image lives on. I think this is hurting my bounce rate quite a bit. Thoughts?

Impressions and search queries help
Hello, In the past month alone, my website www.shiftins.com has had a significant drop, about 50%, in my overall impressions and search queries (info from Google WMT). Now my target keywords have maintained their rankings but it looks like my site has dropped off the map for every other search term. I have not received any unnatural link warnings or anything of that sort so I don't think I have been penalized. Does anyone have an idea of what might have caused the decline and is there a solution to restore my prior status?

I used to rank 12 or 13 for a specific search term. Now I don't show up at all. What's cuasing this?
Used to rank on the second page for a specific search query, now we don't seem to show up at all for the same query. Has Google penalized us or is something else going on?

How Google Determines Sitelinks
Does anyone have authoritative information on how Google determines which links to use as sitelinks? I thought I saw that Top Landing Pages was a metric Google used (in part).

Location and how it affects search results
I'm ranking in the top 3 for a keyword in Google but when I change my location to a state of city I'm at the bottom of the page. Can anyone help? I made sure that the state I want to rank for is both in my title and body. The page has been up for almost a year and is a PR3. It is not my home page but a sup page under "areas we serve." I'm looking for someone who can explain how I can optimize for a state or city. Thanks
