Something is strange, should be ranking fairly well - no visibility.

Hi Guys,

This one is freakin' me out a little. We built my site and optimised it fairly well, especially on this page: http://snowdog.se/dogsledding/ where I am trying to rank for search term "dog sledding in lapland" now I receive a 95 rating for optimisation, I cant see anything wrong with it. We have a sitemap all seems well enough in the Google search console data but heck!!, we have submitted it to major engines but I have zero percent visibility. Can anyone see what's going on here?

Free Sleddog Trip to the winner. Hahahaha.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It must be something simple or weird!

Kind Regards,

Sno.....

Hello,

There are certainly a few more things you can check.

1. has this page been indexed yet by Google? If not, you can request an index

2. Which country are you searching from? Have you set Google to show results to a certain location?

3. How many links do you have pointing to this page? What's the PA for this page?

4. Lapland is in Finland right? with the country code FI. Not 100% sure where you're targeting so this may or may not be relevant.

Hi Sno!

Great question here. International SEO can definitely be a tricky beast! And I'll definitely take you up on that free dogsled ride in Lapland if I can help you

Some questions for you:

1. .se is Sweden, yes? And Lapland is in Finland, right? Is your domain targeted just towards Sweden in Search Console (assuming you have that set up) or is there no international targeting set? Though from looking at your page you're in Kiruna, Sweden, so this shouldn't be an issue.
2. The page is cached, but I see that it hasn't been recached (or potentially even crawled) since Dec 26, 2016. Link to cache.
3. How long has this site been live? I am not seeing any external links to it. You're not up against any hugely formidable competitors, but they do have more links than you. So work on that!

By the way, I did a search for your term and see you ranking #74 in Google.com. So yeah, build some links and get that ranking up!
