          Hi,

          Here are a few effective ranking factors that FSG INSPECTIONS my client's website for better visibility on Google

          1. High-Quality Content
            Publish engaging, original, and relevant content that meets user intent, such as inspection guides or industry-specific tips.
            Incorporate keyword optimization for terms related to inspections while avoiding overstuffing.
            Regularly update blog posts or pages to maintain freshness and accuracy.

          2.Mobile-Friendliness
          Ensure FSG INSPECTIONS's website is fully responsive and provides a seamless experience on mobile devices.
          Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to ensure compatibility.

          3.Page Speed
          Optimize the website to load quickly, improving user retention and experience.
          Compress images, reduce unnecessary scripts, and leverage browser caching.

          1. On-Page SEO
            Use keyword-optimized meta titles, descriptions, and headers (H1, H2, H3) for pages like "Inspection Services" or "Schedule an Inspection."
            Add descriptive alt tags to images of inspection tools or processes for better indexing.
            Implement internal linking to connect blog posts, service pages, and contact forms.

          2. Secure Website (HTTPS)
            Ensured FSG INSPECTIONS uses HTTPS for data security, a trust signal valued by Google.

          3. User Experience (UX)
            Provide intuitive navigation for users to find services, pricing, or booking options quickly.
            Minimize bounce rates by offering clear calls-to-action, such as “Schedule Your Inspection.”

          4. Backlinks
            Build high-quality backlinks from relevant industry websites, local directories, or associations related to inspection services.
            Avoid low-quality backlinks that can harm rankings.

          5. Technical SEO
            Maintain a clean site structure, proper URL hierarchy, and an updated XML sitemap for FSG INSPECTIONS.
            Fix any broken links and implement canonical tags where necessary.

          6. Local SEO

            • Optimize for local search by claiming and updating the site Google My Business listing.
            • Use location-based keywords like “Orlando Inspection Services” and acquire local citations to strengthen visibility in local searches.
          7. Core Web Vitals
            Focus on Google’s Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) , First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) to ensure optimal loading performance and interactivity.

          11 Social Signals

            Your website may not be ranking due to several factors, including poor SEO practices, low-quality content, lack of backlinks, or technical issues like slow loading times. It’s essential to optimize your site for both search engines and users to improve its visibility.

              Thank you, mate! I have a Android mod apk download website, but I'm experiencing ranking issues similar to yours. I write unique content, yet my site isn't ranking well. I'm going to check out The Beginner's Guide —maybe it will help me.

                            @fnmayss My domain authority has plummeted dramatically; it was a solid DA 9 previously, but it is currently only DA 7. While I'm still searching for concrete answers, I'm currently analyzing the data to see what could have led to this decline...URL: https://www.trafficridermod.me/

                                My domain authority has significantly dropped; it was a strong DA 9 before, but it is now only DA 7. I'm still looking for specific answers, but I'm currently delving into the data to see what would have caused this drop.

                                      Hi Alex,

                                      Actually, the website age is not that big of a ranking factor anymore. You can rank in the top positions with a website a few months old.
                                      Also, with just guest-posting is not enough to rank high.

                                      I'd suggest you take a deep and comprehensive read to the Moz's beginners guide to SEO. I think that there are quite a few things to optimize that you are missing.
                                      For example, title tags. You should make them more descriptive and focused on the main keyword/phrase you are willing to rank.

                                      Hope it helps,
                                      Best luck.
                                      Gaston

                                        How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.

                                        So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

                                        What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website

                                        Hi All, What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website. Lets say if i have a website xyz.com (which provide pest control services in New York City) and I want to create third party blogs on platforms like blogspot, weebly etc so should i create the blog url as xyz.blogspot.com or i can use a keyword in the blog URL such as pestcontrolnyc.blogspot.com? Which URL would be the best as per Google's guidelines. Note: I have already have a blog within the domain as xyz.com/blog/ and i do weekly posting on this blog. But at the same time i want to create 1-2 third party blogs to get some backlinks from other sources.

                                        Other websites copy content and giving a link back

                                        Hi, I've just noticed a few back links in Google Search Console, I was excited. But when I saw the backlinks, 2 other websites that had completely copied my content and then gave a backlink to my website. Is this bad for SEO and would google penalise my website for this?

                                        Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.

                                        Hi,
                                        I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim

                                        Need advice: How to replace a high-ranking pdf with a landing page -- without dropping much in rank?

                                        Hi!  We have a pdf of a white paper on our site that ranks #1 for a niche term.  We are now exploring the idea of building a landing page for this paper with an overview (2-3 paragraphs) and a registration form for interested parties to fill out in order to access the paper. Do you think there'd be any hope of ensuring the new landing page would rank almost as well eventually (top 3)? I'm thinking a key consideration would be preserving the link juice from the existing links that are coming into the pdf, and that 301 redirecting the pdf URL to the new landing page URL could help with that.  Am I right?  Or would it be better to try to reach out to the linking sites and ask them to update their links (seems daunting). Any advice/opinions on this situation would be appreciated.  (If folks think that there would be a significant risk of permanently dropping out of the top 5 by attempting this, we would likely choose to leave the pdf ungated as is.)  Thanks!! -John

                                        Hi Everyone says quality backlinks increase ranking of your website. Can you please suggest a list of good websites and blogs from where I can get quality backlinks and how to do that. I have one person at my disposal full time to do manual commenting or any manual tasks for getting backlinks but how should i approach this problem (of getting backlinks). Where do I start. For information, my website provides online services (its an ecommerce site) and also has a blog in subdirectory. refer to www.geekwik.com www.geekwik.com/blog Would like to become top ranker on search for these services (eg 'logo design services', 'website programming', 'content writing', 'hire virtual assistant' etc) Also anyone interested to become our SEO consultant or SEO  service provider (of course paid) is most welcome 🙂 Thanks in Advance!

                                        What are some good easy links to get for new sites?

                                        We are in the process of launching a couple of new sites and while we know it will be a long process to get them to rank, achieving some long-tail keywords would be beneficial. What sites would you recommend for getting some easy links to start with that can help the indexation and ranking process along in the preliminary stages? Or another way to put the question - when you launch a new site, what steps do you go through?
