Think something is wrong - need help / ideas

I have a new site I've been developing. The keywords I am targeting are fairly competitive - say 60-70 out of 100. I've run speed tests and I am better than all the sites on page 1 - many by a good margin. On page SEO scores from a variety of free services are better than all but one of the sites on page 1. Over the past 2-3 weeks I've found some good / relevant blogs and have been able to comment and get a number of links, I've linked from an older website I own, contributed to a couple wikihows, set up Google Search Console and registered my sitemap with Google, Bing and all the small search engines.

My site is new and the domain is less than 3 months old. My social accounts for the site are new and don't have many followers. Semrush, Search Console and one or two other free services don't show any backlinks - though I know they are there and I can google the link text and find them.

At this point the new site doesn't even show up in a search, even though the name of my domain is almost exactly the search term I am targeting. I am feeling fairly certain that I have either 1) done something very wrong, or 2) have way to high of an expectation of where I should rank at this point - maybe some of both.

Any advice or counsel is appreciated.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
