Moving from Pages 3 & 4 to 1st Page

I own a professional services firm and would like to increase the organic traffic on our website. Currently most of the kw's we rank for are on pages 3 and 4, some on page 2 and not much on page 1. Our site currently has about 30 pages and all of them are indexed. They are a mix of blog posts and main product pages. Most are setup in a in a "Specific Service, Main City, State" format. I also have a few that target other secondary cities as well as more general topics.

The domain is about 5 years old, and the site is currently built on WordPress. We did a redesign a little over a year ago updating to a newer premium theme. According to Moz we have a Domain Authority of 15 and the main page has a Page Authority of 25, while some of the main product pages range from 13 to 16 Page Authority. Ahrefs gives us a 2.4 Domain Authority with 143 backlinks from 76 referring domains. Quite a few of those are blogspot links that are linking to one of the images on my site, that I did not initiate. Google Search Console shows 39 linking sites.

I've been slowing adding a mixture of backlinks from places like HARO and from some local business associations websites, but I haven't seen much change from the backlinks I have added so far. I know I don't have many, but most of the ones I have added are higher quality.

I know I need to work on both, but would I be better off focusing on creating more content or getting more backlinks? I'm guessing since I rank on pages 3-4 for some of the terms I'm targeting, I probably need more links to get those on page 1.

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
