99/100 in MOZPRO but content not indexed ?

[timcbambrick]

Hi All,

I am just new to Moz pro.

We have a site that has 99/100 for its page optimisation score in Moz pro but it's still not indexed anywhere in the first 5 pages?

Any ideas what I'm missing and how to start resolving?

Hi Jason,

Your site is not indexed in Google or your site is not ranking anywhere in the first 5 pages?

If your site is not ranking and moz giving 99/100 that mean your on page optimization is perfect but only having perfect on page optimization your site will not rank in competitive market. You have to get quality backlinks in order to improve ranking.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

Jo from the help team here.

I would recommend starting by reading this article which goes through how to investigate why your optimized page or site might not be ranking:

https://moz.com/blog/optimized-my-site-but-still-not-ranking-next-level

It starts with going through how to figure out if your site in indexed at all through Google Search Console.

Best of luck!

Jo

Thanks, Alick. Have you got any good resources on backlinking I should take a look at ?

Thanks Jo !

The site & pages are indexed, they're just not ranking as expected.

I know we have work to do on the off page, it's just that usually once the off page is solid we see the site at least come in the first few pages somewhere, however, this site is still on page 6-7 and can't work out why.

I understand why it wouldn't be position 1-5 as those competitors are a lot stronger in terms of backlinks but the other 50 competitors in front of us have smaller, less optimised, less authoritative sites so I'm not sure what is going on.

Thank you for your article though, I will take a look at it and see how I go.

Cheers, 
Jason.
