Help required to get the right landing page ranking

[richardpatey]

Hi, I've taken on a new ski client who wants to rank on page 1 on google.co.uk for [ski instructor courses].

When I first put that keyword into Moz rank tracker the landing page http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses/revelstoke-12-week-csia-level-1-&-2.html came up and it was ~ #30

Instead we wanted http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses to rank and I've optimised the copy (perhaps over optimised?) and have been redirecting & building links to that page.

When I check in the SERPs (as unpersonalised as I can get) that new page appears to be ranking ~ 20 and the old page is nowhere to be seen. So far so good.

However in the rank tracker Moz says the new page (exact URL) isn't ranking (not in top 50) and that when I put in 'entire subdomain' that the old page still comes up (and has improved to ~ 25).

Any help / advice really appreciated! I want to prove to the client the rankings have improved / work I've been doing has helped!

You might have to wait till MOZ crawl again. Google crawls a lot faster.

There is a tracker called Serpbook which is pretty good and I believe it's free for a couple of keywords if you wanted a better tracker.

Go with Serpbook or rankchecker...I was furious to receive a report from Moz today telling me that around 50 keywords went from Rank 1 to rank nowhere. after they brought me back from my heart attack incident (sarcasm) I decided to check SErobooks and a free tool called rankchecker and my keywords were fine and where they should be ranking wise.

I do not trust Moz on rankings at all tbh
