Domain authority and Backlinks effect on placement, help on SEO placement

After stalking this sub for a while it seems pretty well accepted that DA and backlinks are pretty essential for google placement, plus good readability and keywords.

I run a newish website (8 days) for a chiropractor office, and use yoast for SEO on Wordpress. My yoast symbol is green, and im targeting a keyword “chiropractor clinic city name”. I checked my backlinks and I have about 150 total altho only 5 DA.

Things ive done according to my research:

• Create socials with links • Include keywords in Meta, slugs, title, H1, H2, H3, first paragraph, alt text of pictures, multiple times thru page in accordance with Yoast • green readability • Backlink with some established blogs in my area • Plenty of internal linking • submitted sitemaps to google search console • compressed images, lazy load to boost speed

However, when i go to google search and type “chiropractor office city”, my site is on the 4th page. I went and checked the backlinks and DA of the 1st and 2nd sites, and they have DA of 0 and maybe 15 backlinks each. Their page also seems to have less keywords, and is shorter with less pictures. I thought it was my page age, but i looked it up and age does not affect ranking.

Any suggestions on what i should do next, or how the other ones are ranking so high with no DA, no backlinks and barely any keywords?

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...
