I've another question relating to the PWA mentioned and just came to me. I'm about to build a learning centre for my business as a resource section (using LearnDash) and most of the pages will be available for clients only or at least require login. Should I be setting these pages to noindex? How do the bots handle crawlability on such websites. Gez, I can't believe I haven't thought about this before!
Loving these talks because it gets me thinking.
Thanks 🙏🏻

Is there somewhere we can submit questions for future episodes or just post them in the comments here? I have one that has come up to do with the lack of compliance and transparency on ie domains. Not sure if this is a Google question but in the same way chrome now flags non ssl websites, is there any scope for Google to flag non compliant websites when it comes to data protection and location? Particularly with location, could there be a link to a business required to be registered with Google my business?….. Although I see plenty of scam companies use virtual offices and apartments. Why I really stress that local knowledge with my clients for local businesses.
If you can guide me to where it would be best to ask my questions, I'd really appreciate it 🙏🏻

Oh yes! Getting content for a new website is the like requesting the blood of their first born. I now have it in my agreement that content must be done in phase 1 while we are researching and planning. Still can feel like blood out of a stone and trying to improve this part of the process.
I wish someone could clear up the question of using TAGS in WordPress. In my small business, we initially started to use them because another company told us it helps Google find our content, then another web guy told me not to use them at all & they are redundant & outdated, finally a third company computer guy told us we should be using them. It's very confusing & time consuming. Can you clear this up? We don't want to be doing something which is unwittingly harming our website.
Very informative, cheers!
Very enjoyable and informative – when do we get Gary's Grandmother's seitan recipe?
