Adjusting Display of Sitelinks
-
I have a client that has some site links for their store but on of the links does not appear how it should. It should be a category that is all Capital letters but instead is appearing as initial Caps. I am guessing that this is due to anchor text somewhere on the site but for the life of me, I cannot find it appearing like this anywhere. Anything you think I might be missing here or should try? This is probably just something stupid I have overlooked.
THANKS! -
Thanks! This is pretty much what I thought but thought I would check. Google is using all Caps for some words in other Site Links so my guess is it is somewhere on the site in the anchor text.
Much Appreciated!

Hi Thomas Donnelly,
Sitelinks are links that are auto-generated by Google. Google decides to display them in results that they believe are useful to the user. Unfortunately, there isn't much management around sitelinks - you can demote them, but you cannot easily adjust them.
ALL CAPS isn't normally a display that Google wants to show often, so it could be that they are altering the text to be title case because they feel it is better presentation of the content. However, you can try by making sure all your anchor text is in caps, as desired.
An easy way to find the anchor text in your site would be to use a tool like Screaming Frog SEO spider. Let it crawl your site and use its report to collect all the links and anchor text in your website. Then find any that are not displaying in CAPS like you intended.

Will google be able to crawl all of the pages given that the pages displayed or the info on a page varies according to the city of a user?
So the website I am working for asks for a location before displaying the product pages. There are two cities with multiple warehouses. Based on the users' location, the product pages available in the warehouse serving only in that area are shown. If the user skips location, default warehouse-related product pages are shown. The APIs are all location-based.

Will Google display rich snippet photos for People?
I know that photos have been discontinued for Authorship. Someone told me that they had been discontinued for People (which has always been separate from Authorship, as I understand it) as well, but they're still listed here[1] . However, I can't find an example of them working. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

Sitelinks in non-brand based organic search results
Hi all, I have a question for everyone. Sitelinks have been around for a while now & I've always seen them when the search is for a brand's name. However, today, when looking at the rankings for one of the campaigns we manage, we noticed there were sitelinks in the number #1 & #2 positions in Google (Australia) for the search term "Dance Costumes". Whilst both the companies have Dance Costumes in their title, so do all the other results & so I don't see why it warrants the sites to be relevant via their brand name.

Note: The results are organic results, not paid results (where you can add sitelinks). Firstly, has anyone seen this before (screenshot attached)?
And secondly, is there markup/schema that allows you to do this (none that I know of)? danceCostumes-sitelinks.png0 -
Topical Sitelinks
This is a question about the non-branded, topical sitelinks SERP - i.e. those sitelinks without additional descriptive text, that tend to be shown for queries that are information centered as opposed to brand-centric. I'm been noticing an increase in these among some big brands in the travel vertical, and wanted to throw it out there to the esteemed Moz community. Are these the preserve of big site SEO/brands, or is there anything we can/should be doing to increase our chances of getting these topical sitelinks to appear? Cheers! rkdVaDN

Randomly Displayed Text: Hidden text issue?
I want to add some script to my site so that a given page publishes a different paragraph of text every time the page loads. Something like randomly displayed testimonials (but with more text). So, when you look at the page source, you would see all the text (e.g testimonial-1, testimonial-2, etc.), but the user would only see one paragraph randomly. Would this be considered hidden text (one code for search engine, one for use)? Is there a safe number of words you can do this with without setting off red flags? I appreciate the help.
