Hi, Sorry i missed your response,
I think in general terms rather then me listing everything here, you should follow Patrick's advice as a start and come back once your done with all that as you will have a much improved base for further adjustment.
SEO is not a quick process, it can take months to get a good foundation if not longer, so keep that in mind when your making changes.

Hi there
I would take a look at the on-site SEO link I sent over in my last comment. There is a lot of room for optimization on your website. Specifically look at:
- Title tags - Utilize branding in your titles and clean up keyword over optimization.
- URL structure - You have index.php in every one of your URLs.
- Internal linking - You link to your homepage a LOT on your Services page. Also, when you click the Services drop down and go down to Events, you can click any of the items in the sub navigation - this is a terrible user experience and needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Also, take a look at Information Architecture for SEO.
- Content audit - Your Fleet page has nothing on it.
- Backlink audit - Your metrics are pretty low in Majestic and it looks like there has been some pretty spammy link building done in the past - most of your links are from ccTLD (which makes no sense because you do business in the Bay Area, not Australia or Eastern Europe) and directories. Run through those and remove toxic, spammy, or irrelevant links.
Lastly, and this is super important to fix, you have multiple websites for your business with duplicate content:
All of which point links to www.bassilimousineservice.com. Delete these sites, run through the backlinks, remove links to these sites that are toxic and update good links to point to www.bassilimousineservice.com. This is a major reason your site is probably not performing well for certain local searches - lots of spam going on.
I would prioritize this by deleting these duplicate sites & removing or updating links, doing on-site cleanup and optimization for Bassi Limousine Service, and then build citations through Moz Local or Whitespark. You have a long road in front of you, but this will all help you in the long run.
Hope this all helps! Good luck!

A couple of improvements i can suggest straight off:
You need to redirect all non-www traffic to www. or vice versa. Currently so far as google can see, you have 2 different websites, one on http://bassilimousineservice.com/ and one on http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/
Your URL structure needs to be improved,for example: http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/index.php/services/rates.html
Should be something like: http://www.bassilimousineservice.com/services/rates

Dual website strategy
We have two websites (different businesses) in the technology sector that sell the same products on the same platform (OSC) but have different branding. We have tried to make the static content different and the user generated content is different. SEO as largely different. But the one site has much better rankings than the other. Whilst the under performing site is not responsive yet, I need to decide whether to merge the two businesses into one or continue on the two separate websites approach. I would only pursue the latter approach and invest further time and effort into this under performing website if I knew I was "on the right" track. My SEO knowledge is not extensive and so I would be interested in any views the community has? I note that kogan.com.au and dicksmith.com.au have a similar dual website approach (same company) and they are both major brands in Australia. I thank you in advance for any thoughts you may have.

Is this website optimized? Parallax web design for SEO.
Friends, I'm hoping to get some feedback on optimizing a website. It's a parallax web design so there's really only one title tag and meta description. I don't want to stuff the on-page content with keywords that don't flow with the copy/branding. What are some additional opportunities to optimize this website? It's not ranking in SERPs and has a low DA. Here's the URL, please take a look and let me know what I could be doing - https://saintst.com/ Thanks!

How can I migrate a website's content to a new WP theme, delete the old site, and avoid duplication and other issues?
Hey everyone. I recently took on a side project managing a family member's website (www.donaldtlevinemd.com). I don't want to get too into it, but my relative was roped into two shady digital marketing firms that did nothing but a mix of black-hat SEO (and nothing at all). His site currently runs off a custom wordpress theme which is incompatible with important plugins I want to use for local optimization. I'm also unable to implement responsive design for mobile. The silver lining is that these previous "content marketers" did no legitimate link building (I'm auditing the link profile now) so I feel comfortable starting fresh. I'm just not technical enough to understand how to go about migrating his domain to a new theme (or creating a new domain altogether). All advice is appreciated! Thanks for your help!

Onsite Optimization for 2 Locations on One Site
Hello, We have multiple client who have 2 office locations n the same state in varying counties and would like to have their site rank for two counties. Is this plausible ? For instance they would like their header tags to read "Lawyer in Middlesex & Monmouth County NJ" Rather than "Middlesex County NJ Lawyer" Would this be an effective strategy or be seen as stuffing by Google?

Website Migration - remove unnecessary sub-folder?
Rebuilding a site that currently has good rankings. The original site was build in Joomla. I am doing the rebuild on WordPress. The old site is at the domain www.savannah-dentist.com, but clicking on any link generates a url with a subfolder; i.e. the website is at www.savannah-dentist.com, click on the logo and you will go to www.savannah-dentist.com/rosenthal/, the "meet the doctors" link goes to "www.savannah-dentist.com/rosenthal/meet-the-doctors" When I rebuild the site, do I have to retain that url structure? If I get rid of the folder and make everything simply like www.savannah-dentist.com/meet-the-doctors, will I be jeopardizing our rankings? Thanks! -Adam
