        At first glance here are a few thoughts:

        • You said that in the past you didn't use the best practices. Have you disavowed any "bad" links from the past?

        • We found a premierglow.com/home page that isn't needed

        • Content is very sparse on your category pages. We recommend adding 3-4 paragraphs of content at the bottom of each category page.

        • Within that new content, you can internally link to a few category pages from each category page.

        • Is there any way you can move your blog from a subdomain to a subfolder?

        • Your category page, https://www.premierglow.com/night-golf/night-golf-course-supplies.html, ranks #10 for "night golf supplies" which is great but from this post, https://blog.premierglow.com/premier-glow/experience-the-thrill-of-fling-golf-at-night/, you link the phrase "night golf supplies" to this category page, https://www.premierglow.com/night-golf.html.

        • You should make sure you have a clear keyword map where all phrases you want to rank for are assigned to a page and that you follow that map when doing any onsite optimization, internal link building, and general link building.

          Yep, some similar to previous answer advice:

          • lost opportunity for keywords internal linking

          • not the best link profile. At a very basic you could look for good quality web directories and also try to check practices of your competitors (have you gather information who your competitors are?). Maybe there is an opportunity to get link from sites that links to your competitors.

          • try to create good quality content with statistics and references to external, relevant websites (we would advice setting that as nofollow)

          • what's your website mobile friendliness and speed - these two can significantly harm your website

          • Today all of our internal pages all but completely disappeared from google search results. Many of them, which had been optimized for specific keywords, had high rankings. Did google change something?
