Skip to main content

Finally got to #1 for our priority key word!

Long time lurker, first time poster and something I hope worth sharing.

I run a smallish service company within a pretty competitive niche in the UK. We would definitely be classed as one of the smaller players but have always kept our hat in the ring with all things SEO in order to maintain a page 1 presence for our main key words whilst never threatening top spot.

This year with lockdown and all we made a conscious effort to improve this and target top spot. I don't think we ever realistically thought we'd get there but that was part of point of it being a long term goal.

We already had some pretty good backlinks but felt the content on the site needed work so that's been our main focus. Although arguably one of the easier elements of SEO, sometimes I questioned whether the content improvements were having a significant impact on how 'the man' at google ranked our site. Well after a few months of continuous improvement (with plenty ideas from this sub) we seem to be no.1 this morning! Whilst I fully expecting us to fluctuate among the top 5 over time this feels super rewarding for now!

Moral of the story is KEEP GRINDING. As an SEO noob I've found this sub is great for advice, tips and tricks and generally staying up to date with all things SEO. It's been a long term grind for me that sometimes felt tiring and unrewarding but as long as you stay focussed and methodical in your approach you'll get there in the end.

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
