hemlock Secondary Color

Hello, How do I remove the secondary color when using hemlock so that my picture in Hero is clear. Like the first picture below instead of the blue hew in the 2nd picture.  I’ve seen other websites with this fix, but can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve tried changing from PNG, JPG, is there a transparent code? Please help

SEO News Highlights - Sept. 2023

SEO News Highlights - Sept. 2023  Helpful Content System Update Rolling OutOn Sept. 14th at about 4:20 pm ET, Google began to roll out an update to the Helpful content system - the Google September 2023 Helpful Content Update. This update is expected to take 2 weeks to roll out.As a reminder, the Google helpful content system looks to weed out content written for the purpose of ranking in search engines that do not help or inform people. Google said this update will "tackle content that seems to have been primarily created for ranking well in search engines." The update will "help make sure that unoriginal, low-quality content doesn't rank highly in Search," Google added.So if you are writing content to drive search engine visibility and traffic, you might be hit by this type of update, and non-English sites are no longer safe from this update.The last Helpful content update we had was the December 2022 helpful content update - which hit our member sites and the sales site the hardest.

Spam in leads funnel

I have seen an increase in spam in my leads funnel on my site. I am flagging them as spam because of the phone numbers. They are +8 or they have foreign text in the emails they leave.  Is this just me or are others seeing this increase as well?

NAP: Name, Address, Phone Number

When it come to NAP (name, address, phone number), consistency is everything. You want to make sure your NAP is exactly the same everywhere you use it so google understands all of these mentions are the same company. You can find more detailed info about NAP and why it matters here:https://carrot.com/blog/nap-name-address-phone-number-local-seo/

Company Name Change: SEO Implications

I am wondering if changing my name of my company makes any sense.  And I am looking to change it to the same as the domain.  So I’m looking to go from Beacon Realty Investments to Beacon Buys Homes.  I think this is much more consistent than having a website name and a different  domain name.  Does anyone have any opinion on this?  I looked at another similar post, but more about SEO - so would this hurt my SEO right now.  I am really ranking well, but not getting a lot of leads.

SEO News Highlights - July 2023

SEO News Highlights - July 2023 There is expected to be another confirmed Google Core Update before the end of September. Here’s what you can do to get ready:Google Core Update Prep List Core updates are significant, broad changes made to the algorithms and ranking systems, but there are a few ranking factors that are ONLY reevaluated during these updates: E-E-A-T (Expertise, Experience, Authority, & Trust) - About page, contact page, author bios, and citations from 3rd party sites all play a large role in EEAT.  Technical SEO - broken backlinks, good internal linking, lack of 404 pages Topical Authority - Does your content cover all of the necessary topics for your niche? Do you cover enough subtopics to be considered an expert in your industry? Search Intent - Does your content answer the question that your target keyword is asking? Does your content align with what is currently ranking in the top 3 positions? AI Content Is Not, By Default, Well Received By Google AlgorithmsThere

Citations with 2 Businesses and same information

I have ATL Cash Home Buyers set up with citations with almost 30 platforms. I just created my agent site and its ATL Real Estate Services with the same phone number and address. A lot of platforms aren't allowing me to add ATL Real Estate Services because it has the phone number as the other one does. I know consistency is major for citations. What would you suggest doing?
