Stuck with domain: www.kumficars.co.uk

Hi community,

I was hoping you could help me.

I have a website which I'm running for a client, www.kumficars.co.uk, and it's not featuring at all on google for the primary keyword: Taxi Knutsford

I have absolutely no idea why.  I've produced a campaign report and am acting on it now, but even that didn't pull much up other than a missing meta description tag, which I'm updating now.

Other than that, I can't see any reason why the website shouldn't rank - the competition isn't even difficult!

Can anyone shed some light please?

You might want to add Taxi Knutsford in as a meta keyword as well.

Also, you haven't got any links with the anchor text 'Taxi Knutsford' linking to your desired landing page, just a couple both internally and externally could help up the ranking.

There isn't any text I can see that directly says 'taxi knutsford'. There's plenty of text featuring the words knutsford and taxi separately, but these need to be placed together at some point to create a keyword match.

Like Vitalscom says, you need to make better use of H1, as you currently don't have one. It also may help to make better use of the alt text in your pictures... slipping 'taxi knutsford' as an alt could help.

You may also want to upload a sitemap.

As well as adding to Google local, you may want to add the website listing to business sites such as 118 and Yell if not already done so.

Thanks Vitals, I'll get to work on those changes.

I feel the copy mentions taxi and Knutsford so much that is should at least start to rank in there, the website has been up for 3 months now.

You're big mistake is that you optimized for your company name instead of your keyphrase target. i would redo the title, meta, H1, testimonial, and description on bottom and make sure it has your desired keyphrase in it and don't muddle it up with the word "based" inbetween taxi and Knutsford. Even doing this right is not sufficient, make sure your properly launched into Google local and get some quality external links with the keyphrase as the anchor text.

Good luck.
