My articles aren't ranking for keywords

[JessicaSilver]

Hello! I hope someone can help me...I've researched my keywords (long and short tail) for my articles but they are showing up as no ranking keywords. It looks like I've only got a few of my 15 articles which actually have keywords within - and I'm not sure why! Please can someone advise? https://www.el-well.com/helping-your-parents-declutter-their-home/ Thank you.

Give me a little bit of time to inspect everything it looks like you did a good job with the content but all of it is orphan that I've seen. Meaning there is no other internal link pointing to it. This makes it difficult for Google to find also the main website it's on does not have a lot of backlinks that has very few this can affect your ability to be indexed quickly and rank.

Jessica,

I took a quick  peek at your site and my reply isn't directly about your articles. I think you should  focus your initial SEO efforts developing your business' distinct, core concepts of brand and details of how you want to get that message out. Also focus on your local SEO.  I think time spent on those things first will make the time you spend on the rest of your content more valuable and more effective.

Jessica,

If you are referring to the Moz Keyword Explorer tool not showing any ranking keywords when you are on the "Ranking Keywords" page exploring https://www.el-well.com/helping-your-parents-declutter-their-home/, then you just need to be patient. When you are on that page, you can read at the top right, "Keyword Data Updated Every Two Weeks" which means that you probably have more rankings than the tool currently shows because it's not showing real time data.

I did use that tool just now to explore your root domain and I see that Moz shows that your site is ranking in the top 50 for 85 phrases.

For example, you are ranking #4 for "self playing games for old people" and #13 for "putting on socks" and #18 for "staying fit for adults".

Also, I analyzed your site in ahrefs.com and semrush.com and found that their indexes show that you are ranking for 318 and 220 phrases respectively, in the top 100 in Google.

If you continue adding content to your site, optimizing that content, adding internal links to each piece of content, and building links in general to your site, you'll continue to improve existing rankings and gain more rankings for more keywords.

For example, on https://www.el-well.com/help-putting-on-socks/, change the alt text of the image from "Physiotherapist sitting down using a sock aid" to "Physiotherapist sitting down using a sock aid to help put on socks". It may help your rankings for "help put on socks" which is at #15 right now and "help putting on socks" and other similar variations.

Hi Tom, thank you for your reply. Are you able to give some guidance on internal links? I've been pointing certain pages / posts on my site to others where they are relevant. Is it a case of increasing the volume of this? Backlinks, I'm on the case. Like you say, we're a new site but I'm focusing on guest posting etc. Thank you, Jess
