Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you! yes the clarifies a lot, one question though, any suggestions as for high quality directories and content sharing websites? i know medium for content sharing but nothing about directories and looking into competitors didnt look like they are registered on any directories.

Hey, Dave here from the help team Results can vary if you are using different search engines, or tracking locally/nationally.  Also if you are verifying in google, you will not have the same striped non personalization that Moz uses to collect rankings.  Can you send in an email to help@moz.com with your examples so we can take a look at whats happening? thanks!

WOW.. i never even thought about it.. i made sure to make changes in google analytics to track HTTPS only. anything else i should do for a better more accurate data?

Hello, Well if your rankings are going up, you must be doing something right. Congratulations. I would just start going through the pages one by one and run a site audit in MOZ and start correcting any problems found. Just start one page at a time and keep going until you have fixed as many issues as possible. Make sure all your Meta tags and on page SEO is correct and then start your offsite SEO. Try writing some good articles and try to get as many high-quality backlinks as possible. Best Regards
