      Hi

      I am working on a site indianhomeappliances.in that for search terms such as 'best washing machine in india' appears near the top of the 2nd page of Googl for url https://indianhomeappliances.in/best-washing-machine-in-india/

      When looking at what is listed on the 1st page for 'best washing machine in india' I would appreciate any advice/guidance on what else could be done to give the site a final push to get on the 1st page of search results.

      I have made more than 60 backlinks along with sites from competitor analysis via moz for this page

      Looking at the sites that are on the 1st page I cant understand why many of them are ranking higher than me?

      Any insight and plan of attack would be most appreciated from any  search experts on the forum. My website is 2.5 months old.

      Many Thanks

          Enhance Content: Make it more detailed and useful.
          Optimize On-Page SEO: Improve meta tags, headers, and keywords.
          Improve UX: Speed up load times and ensure mobile-friendliness.
          Localize: Add localized content if targeting an Indian audience.
          Competitor Insights: Analyze and learn from top-ranking pages.
          Good luck!

            Hi,

            I understand your challenge. Getting to the 1st page on Google can be tough. Here are a few strategies that might help:

            Content Quality: Ensure your content is comprehensive and engaging. For example, consider adding detailed comparisons or reviews about washing machines. You might also include relevant multimedia, like videos or infographics, to make your content more attractive.

            On-Page SEO: Optimize your page with the target keyword “best washing machine in India” in critical areas like the title tag, meta description, headers, and throughout your content. Ensure your page is both user-friendly and search engine-friendly.

            User Experience: Enhance the page load speed and mobile responsiveness. A smoother user experience can positively impact your rankings.

            Backlink Quality: Focus on the quality of your backlinks. Ensure they come from high-authority and relevant sites. Building relationships with influencers in your niche or using tools like Spotify for engaging content might help improve your site’s authority.

            Competitor Analysis: Examine the strategies of higher-ranking pages. Look into their content, SEO practices, and user engagement. Tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush can offer insights into their strategies.

            Local SEO: Optimize for local SEO if your target audience is in India. Use local keywords and ensure your site is listed in local directories.

            Engagement Metrics: Improve engagement metrics like click-through rate (CTR) and time on site. Engaging content can help with this.

            As a side note, you might want to explore how content on Spotify, such as playlists related to home appliances or product reviews, can help drive traffic to your site. Including a relevant Spotify playlist or integrating related content might add value and help attract more visitors.

            SEO takes time, so be patient and keep refining your strategy. Good luck, and feel free to ask for more detailed advice!

                hello
                Improving your website's ranking on Google requires a combination of strategies focused on both on-page and off-page optimization. Here are some steps you can take to enhance your website's visibility and move it into the top 10 positions:

                1. Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords that your target audience is likely to use when searching for your products or services. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to find high-volume keywords with moderate competition.

                2. Optimize On-Page Elements:

                  • Title Tags: Ensure that your title tags are descriptive, include target keywords, and are within the recommended character limit.
                  • Meta Descriptions: Write compelling meta descriptions that encourage clicks and accurately summarize the content of your pages.
                  • Headers: Use H1, H2, and H3 tags to structure your content and include relevant keywords.
                  • Content Optimization: Create high-quality, relevant content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. Incorporate target keywords naturally throughout your content.
                3. Improve Website Speed: Google considers page speed as a ranking factor. Optimize your website's loading speed by compressing images, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, and using a reliable hosting provider.

                4. Mobile-Friendliness: Ensure that your website is mobile-responsive, as Google prioritizes mobile-friendly websites in its search results. Use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test to check your website's mobile compatibility.

                5. Quality Backlinks: Acquire high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites in your industry. Focus on building relationships with influencers, guest posting on relevant blogs, and creating shareable content that naturally attracts links.

                6. Optimize for Local SEO: If your business targets a specific geographic area, optimize your website for local SEO. Claim your Google My Business listing, optimize your business information, and encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews.

                7. Regularly Update Content: Keep your website's content fresh and up-to-date to maintain relevance and attract search engine crawlers. Consider creating a blog and publishing new articles regularly to demonstrate expertise and authority in your field.

                8. Monitor Performance: Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your website's performance, monitor keyword rankings, and identify areas for improvement.

                9. Social Media Promotion: Share your website content on social media platforms to increase visibility and attract traffic. Engage with your audience and encourage sharing to expand your reach.

                10. Consider Professional Help: If you're struggling to improve your website's ranking on your own, consider hiring an SEO expert or agency with experience in optimizing websites for search engines.

                Remember that improving your website's ranking takes time and consistent effort. By implementing these strategies and staying informed about changes in search engine algorithms, you can gradually improve your website's visibility and move it into the top 10 positions on Google.

                  Most important thing to understand is that when it comes to improving your companies, organic SEO, that it is a slow process very slow, so what you don't want is to rush it because you might end up making SEO mistakes. It's better to implement high quality white hat SEO

                        Strong spam should be diluted without anchor links. And there will be happiness! Here is my page https://trust-seo.com/zakaz-croud-links/ which is on the second page. I can't figure out why it's not on the first page.

                                        I am working on an SEO project for the website: https://wave.com.au/ There are some core website pages, which we want to target for organic traffic, like this one: https://wave.com.au/doctors/medical-specialties/anaesthetist-jobs/ Then we have basically have another version that is set up as a landing page and used for CPC campaigns. https://wave.com.au/anaesthetists/ Essentially, my question is should I apply canonical links from the landing page versions to the core website pages (especially if I know they are only utilising them for CPC campaigns) so as to push link equity/juice across? Here is the GA data from January 1 - April 30, 2019 (Behavior > Site Content > All Pages😞

                                        Ranking 1st for a keyword - but when 's' is added to the end we are ranking on the second page

                                        Hi everyone - hope you are well. I can't get my head around why we are ranking 1st for a specific keyword, but then when 's' is added to the end of the keyword - we are ranking on the second page. What could be the cause of this? I thought that Google would class both of the keywords the same, in this case, let's say the keyword was 'button'. We would be ranking 1st for 'button', but 'buttons' we are ranking on the second page. Any ideas? - I appreciate every comment.

                                        Ranking 2 pages on the same domain in the same SERP

                                        I thought it was generally said that Google will favour 1 page per domain for a particular SERP, but I have seen examples where that is not the case (i.e. Same domain is ranking 2 different pages on the 1st page of the SERPs...) Are there any "tricks" to taking up 2 first page SERP positions, or am I mistaken that this doesn't always happen?

                                        Why is Google ranking irrelevant / not preferred pages for keywords?

                                        Over the past few months we have been chipping away at duplicate content issues. We know this is our biggest issue and is working against us. However, it is due to this client also owning the competitor site. Therefore, product merchandise and top level categories are highly similar, including a shared server. Our rank is suffering major for this, which we understand.  However, as we make changes, and I track and perform test searches, the pages that Google ranks for keywords never seems to match or make sense, at all. For example, I search for "solid scrub tops" and it ranks the "print scrub tops" category. Or the "Men Clearance" page is ranking for  keyword "Women Scrub Pants". Or, I will search for a specific brand, and it ranks a completely different brand. Has anyone else seen this behavior with duplicate content issues?  Or is it an issue with some other penalty?  At this point, our only option is to test something and see what impact it has, but it is difficult to do when keywords do not align with content.

                                        How do you check the google cache for hashbang pages?

                                        So we use http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:x.com/#!/hashbangpage to check what googlebot has cached but when we try to use this method for hashbang pages, we get the x.com's cache... not x.com/#!/hashbangpage That actually makes sense because the hashbang is part of the homepage in that case so I get why the cache returns back the homepage. My question is - how can you actually look up the cache for hashbang page?

                                        Page position dropped on Google

                                        Hey Guys, My web designer has recommended this forum to use, the reason being: my google position has been dropped from page 1 to page 10 in the last week. The site is weloveschoolsigns.co.uk, but our main business site is textstyles.co.uk the school signs are a product of text styles. I have been told off my SEO company, that because I have changed the school logo to the text styles logo, Google have penalised me for it, and dropped us from page 1 for numerous keywords, to page 10 or more. They have also said that duplicate content within the school site  http://www.weloveschoolsigns.co.uk/school-signs-made-easy/ has also a contributed to the drop in positions. (this content is not on the textstyles site) Lastly they said, that having the same telephone number is a definate no no. They said that I have been penalised, because google see the above as trying to monopolise on the market. I don’t know if all this is true, as the SEO is way above my head, but they have quoted me £1250 to repair all the errors, when the site only cost £750. They have also mentioned that because of the above changes, the main text styles site will also be punished. Any thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated as I don't know whether to pay them to crack on, or accept the new positions. Either way I'm very confused. Thanks Thomas

                                        Website stuck on the second page

                                        Hi there Can you please help me. I did some link building and worked with website last couple of months and rank got better but all keywords are on the second page, some of them are 11th and 12th. Is there anything I did wrong and google dont allow the website on the first page? Or should I just go on. It just looks strange keywords are on the second page for 2 weeks and not going to the first page for any single day. The website is quite old, around 10 years. Anyone knows what it is or where I can read about it?
