      Hi!

      My page werkzeug-kasten.com is not ranking the way it should for "Webdesign Freiburg" on google Germany.

      Although it receives an A it is only seen on page 2 although the competition is not that hard.

      Do you have any ideas why that is and what I could improve?

      Best regards

      Marc

        Sounds like your on-page optimisation is good. However, your site lacks content. There is very little information on it at all. Add some more text body to your homepage and you will almost certainly rise in the rankings. Create some pages with information for your site visitors. A few more back links won't go amiss either. Good luck!

          Just as Trevor says - you need text. LOT of text. This is actual text on your homepage:

          Now funny part - you have much more content in your menu. But guess? Menu is hidden with width:0 and text is devalued. That's why you need text. Lot of text on your home page. Also on other pages. I found that many pages are just 2-3 images w/o text. There is no way to rank if there isn't text.

            WOW! Issues

            Lots and lots of .js & .css files! Each time the server has to go and fetch a file it's time added to the load time.

            Your load time is around 17 seconds which should be below 1 second for optimal experience.

            Lack of content also doesn't enthuse Google.

            Schema.org will help with the site too!

            Make sure it's on DMOZ.org too, may take a while to be listed.

            Fix these and see a difference.

              It's important to remember that the on-page grader only looks at how well optimized your page is for that keyword, which is just one factor out of many different things Google looks at to rank your site. Fixing technical problems and building additional links to your page and site will be very important to your ranking well. Good luck!
