Am I working in a very competitive niche? [Language Learning]

So, I started a blog on my father's business page, thinking it might help us get some indirect traffic or leads to the main business of German language courses. Initially the writing new content wasn't that frequent, but still could get 50-100 views on each post, mainly through social media connections. I worked on getting some generic backlinks, but getting backlinks from the Language learning websites, especially German ones, is extremely difficult. Either very few to no broken links across sites, or I do not get any response from the website. Simultaneously, Duolingo, busuu, Tandem, Preply, etc, big players will always get the first 20 results with their organic backlinking by various blogs.

Even after ~30-40 topically relevant backlinks, some organic traffic as well, it still falls super-short in front of all the giants. I'm ranking between 55-70 on Google. Though on Bing, I rank <10 for all the pages. Some pages even have 20% CTR.

Is there a way to outrank them or focus on a specific user group that the giants are not going for? Or am I working on something that has naturally a very low success rate?

I have mainly worked on on-page SEO, Core Web Vitals (>90), increasing social presence, and even got AdSense approved with some unique tools helpful for the users. What am I missing?

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.
