      Hello,

      I have different pages that are written on the same model. I updated their content 2 weeks ago. Some of those climbed to 1 st page or beginning or 2 nd some didn't move or stayed where they originally were, 3 rd of 4 th page ? My question is whether there is a longer delay for some of them to rank (due to the term being more competitive for example) or if I should look somewhere else in maybe something that I wrote in the content of the pages that ranked versus those than didn't move.

      Thank you,

        It could be that the pages which have ranked had links pointing to them or that the pages that ranked were for non-competitive keywords.

        Having well optimised and original content in pages which are easily navigated to and easily crawled can make a difference. Pages which are close to the root domain will be more likely to move upwards than deeper pages which are several clicks away. So without knowing the structure and history of the website it is hard to say exactly. But look at where the pages which ranked reside within the navigation hierarchy and look at their backlink profile too.

          Thank you for your reply but my pages are at the same level as all the other and don't have any links like all the others...

          The keywords are not less competitive either.

          So the answer is somewhere else... Do you have any other ideas ?
