What am i doing wrong?

Hi There
we are trying to get http://www.stainless-steel-fabricators.net/ on to page 1 in the UK for keyword 'stainless steel fabricators'. according to reports most of the top 10 websites hardly have any back links or any basic optimisation (title tag, met description). our pages have A grade optimisation and loads of linking domains. stuck as to know what else to do
anyone help?
Bob

Hey Jonathan thanks for your speedy response. I will get on with the ironing. Thanks so much!

Also, if you look at your link profile a lot of your links have that exact match anchor text "stainless steel fabricators"; in fact 176 out of your 270 links have it. I do see that that is the name of the company, but perhaps Google might think that is unnatural linking.

Hi Bob,
There could be many factors as to why the website is not ranking for that keyword. However, I can give you a few pointers that may help:
- Remove capitalisation of meta title (far too spammy)
- Create more engaging onpage content, with keyword variations mentioned throughout.
- Meta description is far too long (Currently 211 characters, should be a max of 155)
- Many of your backlinks are from non relevant poor quality websites.
- Page load speeds are poor due to amount of images
- You have two H1 tags (The images is being counted)
I would look to get some of these issues ironed out to see if this would make any improvement.

Where am I going wrong?
Ok so been trying for some time to get our site ranking. Then the other day these guys pop up from nowhere. https://www.toastsupport.co.uk I can only see domain age as my issue at the moment but maybe I am missing something? I mean I don't have any backlinks just yet but they don't seem to even have any mozrank or anything for that matter https://wordpresswebsitemanagement.co.uk

What I am Doing Wrong with My Rank
Hi, I am doing something wrong but I don't understand what is the issue. The rank of my website for a particular keyword is by far lower than one of my competitors (they are in top 20 while I am not even in top 50 in google). I did all fixes recommended by MOZ, I have higher number of backlinks (natural built), relatively similar social media activities, bigger content but still I'm far away. Do you have any idea what is wrong? Best, Tony

Wrong page ranked in Google, specific example
Hi All, I've searched for previous questions and many talk about the same problem but do not post an actual example. I am also thinking to do a blog post and a series of experiments once there is a theory. My target keyword is "Exhibition Stand Hire" and this is the target page on our site http://goo.gl/qt54lb Site appears on page 6 of SERPS (google.co.uk), but instead of this page a homepage is listed. But if I'm searching for the term using quotes, ie "Exhibition Stand Hire" the right page appears on page 4 of the SERPs. Our home page only uses the keyword in the body text, while target page is very optimised. Could it be over-optimised? I've tried mixing up words in the title tag to not offer an exact match, also i've varied the anchor text of all incoming links but that didn't fix the problem. (Hence why at the moment they all use different terms to point to this page) None of this helped alter what page is chosen to appear. Is it simply the matter of page not being strong enough compared to other less relevant pages on the site? How come many other sites rank better with much less effort? (i'm using OSE to determine competition) Thank you.

Google is ranking the wrong page
We are trying to figure out why google is ranking the wrong page for the key word motorcycle tires. We have a few ideas but are not sure yet. If you do a search for Motorcycle Tires you will see site on page 2 or top of 3; however, the page will be going to our dirt bike tires page (http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/44/86/176/742/Dirt-Bike-Tires-All) not our Motorcycle page (http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/49/-/181/750/Motorcycle-Tires-All) any thoughts? We think we know why but want others opinions too.
