Site Not Rankings After a Few Months

[BrianJGomez]

I have a client site that I am beating my head against the wall for right now. Three months into a 100% white hat campaign, we can't get him ranking in the top 150. Here's the cliffsnotes:

• Built a new wordpress website
• All on page SEO has been done and score an A+ for his primary kws
• Robots.txt is setup correctly
• .htaccess is setup correctly
• new domain
• multiple 95 DA, 50 PA links from reputable, national sites.
• Yext Local listings
• SSL, CDN, Speed optimized
• Has 19 pages indexed by Google
• Posting one blog a week for him

Granted his primary keyword is a hyper competitive kw, but still, I've been doing this for 8 years and never seen a guy be stuck on the 16th page for so long for the sort of links we are building him. I'm genuinely stumped here and could use some help.

Hi Brian,

This is a really tough one to respond to without knowing the domain and being able to have a look at it.

If you PM me the domain, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can find anything (I won't mention the domain publicly).

Cheers,

David

Can you post what was the issue? (without telling the web)

[BrianJGomez]

So David was kind enough to look at the site and found some potential issues. In short, the home page had 57 heading tags which is excessive, there are some heading tags missing from some interior pages and there's a few pages that should be no indexed that aren't

I'm going to fix all of these, give it some time and see if this fixes the issues. I'll keep this thread updated.

Thanks David for your time!

Not a problem Brian.

I'm interested to see what sort of impact these changes make!
