Horrible ranking for hundreds of content pages
-
We have hundreds of pages of restaurant reviews (each is 100% original content) on our site (for example, here is a list of many of the content pages: https://www.rewards21.com/articles). The PA of almost every page is 1 (ouch).
Doing even the most long-tail Google search doesn't bring up one of those pages (even if I include our company name in the search string).
I'm certain we have lots of room to improve SEO, but not even seeing the pages come up for even the most long-tail search has me concerned...
Our site used to be on Wordpress many months ago and many of these pages ranked fine..ever since switching away from Wordpress, we've not made any SEO progress. Am wondering if something major is "broken" with our site SEO...

The few that I tested including your brand name turned up page 1 results in an incognito search. They're definitely indexed, and performing well enough on branded searches that I saw.
Are you running any kind of rank checker? Looking at query reports in Webmaster Console or GA?

Thanks Rebecca. Unfortunately if you remove the brand name, even a long tail search that includes the restaurant name and city ranks incredibly low which just seems unusual.
Webmaster claims only a tiny number of indexed pages, but when I google "site:" with our domain name, i see thousands of pages in the index...
The query report in GA isn't showing me any data unfortunately. Haven't set up a rank checker yet only because it's so low I figured there was probably some overall major issue going on..
