Keyword rankings for new website good in Yahoo and Bing but no movement in Google?

[Bill_K]

Hello,

This past September I launched a new redesigned website for a client. His old website was a static html site that was many years old and the new website was created using WordPress. With the new design we made sure to use all the proper techniques for SEO. (h1 tages, image names, quality links, page titles, etc.) Plus, all the content is new content written for this site. I've actually launched new sites many times and after a few months usually start seeing keyword ranking improvements from the major search engines.

With this particular website I'm seeing improvements in Yahoo and Bing but no movement in Google. I've used Google Webmaster Tools and made sure my sitemap is being submitted, etc. It all seems good, but I can't understand why Yahoo and Bing are working but nothing from Google. My page grades are all A's and B's and Moz isn't showing any big issues. Maybe I need to give it more time? This client is a lawyer and has many websites out there so maybe he's being penalized somewhere I don't know?

As I mentioned, I've been doing SEO for about 8 years and have never had this much trouble with Google. I was wondering if you can look at the site and see if there are any glaring issues I'm missing.

The keyword phrases were are looking at are "Phoenix Medical Malpractice Lawyer", "Phoenix Medical Malpractice Attorney:, "Arizona Medical Malpractice Lawyer & Attorney", etc.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time and does a quick look over. Thanks very much,

Bill

Thanks for your help. Google is so picky about link quality these days. The site has some links going out but I don't think has any coming back. I will check out the discussion you sent a link on. Thanks again.

When I put your site into Open Site Explorer, I do not see any backlinks at all. I see 12 in Majestic (with a zero trust flow) and three in SEMRush. Google cosiders links to be very important, so I'd think that this could be your problem. Here is a webmasterworld discussion on the topic of ranking on Bing/Yahoo but not Google.
