Rankings in Google UK

[columbus]

Hi everyone,

I've posted before on this and I'm still not satisfied that the answer is correct.

Basically, my ranking report is saying that hardly any of my keywords are ranking in the top 50 of Google UK.

Now, I appreciate that rankings can be affected by my search history, but I've tried other computers, other IP addresses, logged out of Google, cleared cache etc.. and I'm still seeing the terms I'm wanting to rank for  on the first and second pages of Google UK.

What is going on? My boss is wanting to see progress with these terms - I'm confident that we're ranking well, but the report is saying otherwise.

Most of those methods are not foolproof. Using other computers, IP adreses and clearing your search history are not going to get you de-personalised results.

If you're going to look yourself, start a new 'incognito' window in Google Crome, and you should get completely de-personalised results.

If your still showing on page 1, double check your report. Make sure the search engine is set to google UK, and thta you are using the keyword exactly (letter for letter)

If all that fails, if your willing to provide the keyword, Someone here could probably try to confirm what you are experiancing.

Thanks for your tip!

I've just tried Chrome in Incognito mode and straight away I'm seeing my site rank on page 1.

These are some of the terms. can you see them on Google UK?

SERPS for Food ERP softwere look like this to me. I do not know which site is yours, but if it's here, then it's possable that either the report/campaign is set up wrong, or at the exact time that the report was last made, the results fluxuated. Try using the rank tracker tool to get a fresh result (remember to change it to google uk and check 'Check Entire Subdomain'<label for="engine"></label>).

Thanks for looking and yes we're position 5 - as expected.

I noticed there is Google United Kingdom and Google Great Britain.

[My-Favourite-Holiday-Cottages]

I know people in england at least use google UK. Not sure who uses GB

The rank tracker is showing you at position 5 as well, so presuming your report/campaign is set up correctly, it should show it as that after your next crawl.

If it's not, your likely problems are a mispelling, the wrong engine being used, or the campaign is set up for a certain sub-domain and the other sub-domain is apearing in the results.

Hopefully that should clear everything up. If not I'll try to answer all I can. Best of luck beating justfooderp.com... (Who probably didn't notice the 'derp' in their url)

Well I'm confident of the spelling and I'm definitely using Google UK. I suspect it's to do with the fact that we're a global company and I'm trying to rank for the UK part of the site (columbusglobal.com/en-GB).

We appear to be ranking for the UK page as is seen in the SERPs, so maybe something is wrong with how SEOMoz is set up to track the UK specific pages...?

The odd thing is when I first started we appeared to be ranking well and reports reflected this. Now the site has disappeared off the reports.

[My-Favourite-Holiday-Cottages]

If you try SEOMoz's Rank tool(http://www.seomoz.org/rank-tracker), it is showing you correctly. I'd use that to manualy get your rankings for your upcoming report.

The tracker and reports are only run once a week, so they will probably reflect you correctly at that time as well.

What's most likly to have happoned is that when it was last checking your position in the SERPs fluxuated and it missed you. We've had a page or two drop out of the rankings briefly at times and it isn't something to worry about unless it persists.

I'm not sure if I understood the problem correctly, but if you're still seeing your site on the first page of Google UK results and the report says that it doesn't show up for the given keywords in the top 50 then it its most probably due to your geo location and the fact that your business is closest for a given keyword to where you are browsing from.

In the left column of the google window you should see a few options - one of them should say : The web > Pages from the UK - if you try to click on 'Pages from the UK' and see if that solves the problem.

Hey there,

Sorry about the confusing rankings!

I am going to migrate this over to ZenDesk and answer you there, since I will need to get some private information about your campaigns to be able to look into this for you.

Thanks,

Chiaryn

My UK rankings are also all over the place.  I cannot use SEOmoz reports for clients at the moment, it is very annoying.  I had this problem a few months ago and then it was resolved, but the last two months reports have been incorrect for quite a few keywords.
