My articles are not ranking againt low competition, WHY?

Hello everybody,

​

I have a ranking article (money page) on the first page of Google, with the following keyword:

  • Football sport shoes

With that said, from my keyword research I found out that I can easily rank for the following keywords:

  • Basketball sport shoes
  • Tennis sport shoes

​

So I did create articles for those last keywords, it's been weeks and they aren't ranking at all. They have been indexed, I made sure of that by check with the google query "site:domain.com" and they are there. But when I type the keywords, those articles are nowhere to be found on the first pages.

The problem is when I type the keyword "basketball sport shoes", I get as a result my article "football sport shoes". Google prefers the unrelated article over the one that is more narrowed in that niche.

​

NOTE 1: My competitor has the same articles, and he is ranking with a different article for each of those keywords. Although my articles are way better than his, I'm already outranking him with the first one.

NOTE 2: Competing Articles that are low DA with topics like "golf/dancing shoes" are ranking for those secondary keywords. Although unrelated.

​

I can't possibly understand the reason behind this phenomenon. It's frustrating at times.

Perhaps I'm missing something, that is why I'm asking, if anyone can enlighten me with their SEO wisdom, I would be deeply grateful.

​

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my thread.

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...
