My keywords aren't performing for my Umbraco site

[Chris_Wright]

A client of mine has just redesigned their site which was pretty small (homepage, about us page and contact us page) and now it includes homepage, about us page, 3 services pages, 5 blog posts and a contact us page. their domain authority is 5, so that gives you an idea of their size.

We updated their key pages with keyword optimised content and added the keyword to their meta title and meta description. they're in the process of adding the alt tags and also they need to enable meta tags for the blog posts. Everything is quite in the process at the moment and their organic traffic is low.

But I believe that some of the keywords should start moving places for the pages that have been optimised and they haven't. Is there any reason for this? I believe the services pages which have meta tags should have started ranking at least in very low position for the selected keywords. Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you!

The first thing to look at is if those new pages and the new changes to any pages have even been crawled yet by Google. If not, then that is why you aren't ranking in the top 100 yet.

To check if the page has been cached yet, paste that URL into Google.com and if there are no results, then it is not cached. If Google shows that page as a SERP listing, then it has been cached.

To see the last date that Google cached that page, click on the green drop down arrow next to the URL and then click "Cached". Then you'll be able to see that last date that Google crawled that page.
