Can you give me some advices to rank this domain?

Hi Moz community,

I've a coleague that's working to rank this site: www.devsar.com.

The selected keywords are:
Mobile development
Web development
Django Development
Python Development

I've checked the site:

• It's fast and clean.
• Has a good PA and DA.
• It's responsive and good lookking.
• Meta description , title, hreflang.. everything in order.
• Link profile a little rare (checked with ahref.com), it's because someone made a mistake redirecting some expired domain

Can you help me to help my mate out?
Thanks
GR.

Those keywords are extremely competitive. What we generally recommend is that you go after geo-based keywords such as "city name + mobile development".

The other issue I'm seeing is that there are some low quality backlinks pointing to the site. You'll need to work on the link profile and get the overall Domain Authority and overall trust much higher than it is currently.

Hi Eric,

I do know that those are competitive, but my coleague just keep telling me that its possible to rank them higher.
