Do these results indicate a problem with my seo?

I've entered my the following search query into Google.co.uk

related:mywebsite.co.uk

However the resulting website that are brought back are on the whole nothing like our website, nor do they offer similar services to us.

If I run this same query on my competitors websites they all bring back similar websites to each other.

I read somewhere that gaining links from the websites that Google believes are similar/related to our own website is beneficial. But looking at our results it would seem that Google can't place what our site is about and which sites are similar.

So I'm guessing this is a more pressing matter than link building right now!?

Other info about our website:

We rank fairly well for a lot of our target keywords.
Domain age = 11 years
PA =38
mR= 4.77
mT= 5.74
DA:= 31
DmR= 3.78
DmT= 3.84
PageRank = 3

Example of how random the results are the 1st website that comes back in our related websites search is for Doctors GP Practice. Our website sells GPS Telematics Solutions.

Can anyone shed any light on this or just to confirm how much of a problem this is?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your speedy response.

In answer to your 1st question, our website sits on Hubspot's CMS which allows us to track the rankings for our main keywords in Google.co.uk

This tells us that we currently have 239 Keywords ranking in the Top 10 and 138 Ranked in Top 3. (Many of these are for our long tail keywords that are less competitive)

Driving close to 4,000 visitors per month to the site via Organic search.

I see the reasoning behind the GPS but our competitors also have these terms on their sites but don't have similar results?

It doesn't bother me necessarily but thought it may have indicated that Google couldn't really place what our website is about. Which does bother me.

My first question would be how are you finding your position in the SERPs? Are you not even on the radar or are you 1st page?

I would guess the doctors are coming up because of the "GPS" and "GP's".

My honest view is that isn't only really a problem if it is causing problems for you. If you appear 1st place for your key phrases, then I wouldn't worry - but need a little feedback on this first.

Edit- I should also add that I have seen high competition phrases return a site that has absolutely no related sites, yet the 2nd place had about 200 hundred.
