Ranking Potential - An another worth noting metric for your SEO strategy

During your Keyword Research, you might have messed up with these questions - “what are the metrics I need to consider for choosing a right keyword?”, “What are the things other than keyword difficulty?”, and some more,..

I got you covered with another important metric called 'Ranking Potential'

With this metric, you can find the potential of your topic to outnumber the top ranking results.

How to find it,

📌 Type the topic of your content in Google and check if there is an “opportunity gap” for freshness, quality, authority, or relevance in the top three Google search results for your topic. Simply, find the things missed by them.

📌 Also, check if the sites in the top three Google search results are more “authoritative” than yours (i.e. have a higher domain authority).

📌 Then combine the opportunity gaps and authoritativeness like below:

Opportunity gap + no authoritative sites = High ranking potential Opportunity gap + authoritative sites = Medium ranking potential No opportunity gap + authoritative sites = Low ranking potential

High ranking potential means, you can outnumber the top results easily. The high ranking potential topics are your low hanging fruits.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
