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?

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...
