Welcome to the Q&A Forum

very helpful. Thank you very much!

Christian

organic, thanks.

Here is a very odd scenario which to me makes very little sense.  How can a site rank on Page #1 of Google for let's say "Boston party planner" yet on Page#2 for "party planner Boston"??

Would love some insight on this one.

thanks,

Chris

How old is your domain? Is your site speed good?

curious if these site that are ranking higher than you update their content more regularly than you? and how active are their social media communities (especially their Google+ account)?

Chris

I literally was just about to type this same question. I'm baffled too. The only conclusion I arrive at is perhaps the other sites receive more traffic. Hopefully a zen master chimes in on this one.

Geoff, thanks for your insight and I greatly appreciate it! I suspected this was the correct route but just wanted to double check.

Cheers!

These two businesses are owned by the same company (industry is event planning).  The parent company has been in business 20+ years and caters to a corporate crowd and the more recent company started by the parent caters to consumers (weddings).   Would this have any negative seo implications if they share social media accounts? or is this perhaps just more of a strategic issue i gather. And i would gather that its best for each to have their own blog.

Would greatly appreciate some insight!Thanks,

Christian
