Interesting observation about my content

I have an aged site good good DA. I've been trying to prepare content for a different but related niche.

I have one article in particular that i'm really proud of. Content is exceptional, original, useful. Notably better than all competition in the top 10 for the prime keyword.

It's been up since early December and I am just watching how it's ranking for more and more keywords every day. It's interesting because there is one very specific keyword on this topic that I would love to rank for, but I can't. It's even listed in the title.

I suspect google is evaluating my site in some capacity and allowing me to rank for low traffic keywords but is blocking me from the juicy ones. I suspect they are evaluating my site on some random metrics, could be anything, and determining that I'm not good enough to blow-up in traffic just yet. This would be a major difference maker for my site in terms of traffic volume.

It simply doesn't make sense how I am ranking for all sorts of vaguely related crap, in the top 10, but not for the one that my article is literally about.

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...
