Frustrated With Results - High Competition Lawyer Site in Philadelphia

So I write this, highly frustrated with the results over the past longest while.

The site has a PR/UR of 51/50 and DS 3.66 on Link Assist not too shabby and above most others in the niche.

However we are bleeding organic keywords (down to only 1000 now) while trying to keep to the recommendations of SEO's, Google and tools. While competition sites streaking ahead seemingly breaking the on-site "rules" e.g. massive page titles, archives pages listed, WP tags being indexed etc ...

  • We have around 300 pages of content & regular posts of 1-3 per week
  • Faster Pagespeed results than pretty much everyone else in the niche 78/96
  • Title desc tags on most every page (couple of )
  • Internal linking
  • 540 referring backlink domains with a pretty clean profile
  • The business name was changed a while back and most citations changed to match
  • Regular posts to GMB for all offices

At this point the only place we're showing is on hyper Local search (within a zip code or two) for out-of-downtown offices and only in the local pack. Organic results if we're lucky Page 4+ for so for any primary search terms.

Downtown office shows for nothing in local packs or organic anymore.

Tearing what's left of my hair out on this one. Where should I focus at this point ? Backlinks, better internal linking, referrals ?

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...
