Why isn't www.devonshiredentalcare.co.uk ranking?

[dentaldesign]

Hi,

devonshiredentalcare.co.uk was hit badly by one of Google's algorithm updates due to some prior poor seo (by another company).

We took this client on and followed all of Google's guidelines and after a lot of work, managed to lift the penalty. It's been almost a year since the penalty was lifted, but it seems to be impossible to get this website ranking for 'Dentist Glasgow', they are currently page 4 in the SERPs!

They have 33 Google reviews, we've built good quality links and citations, they have a 'Grade A' for on page optimisation in moz, we are also about to make the website responsive due to the recent mobilegeddon update.

Do you have any further suggestions to help get this website ranking?

Thanks in advance,

Faye

The URL and page title ect seems to point towards Devonshire a county literally at the opposite end of the United Kingdom - Could this be having an impact?

Your Moz rank is fairly low - Look to build this with high quality links within your industry.

Hi Faye

I would focus on the following:
On-Site SEO (site seems to be heavy anchor text optimized - no branding in titles)
Local SEO (Moz)
Content audit (Moz)
URL structure (no site structure or hierarchy)
Internal links (you have quite a few redirects happening)

When was the penalty lifted? You can check out this post from Moz called After a Link-Based Penalty is Removed, Will Your Traffic Increase?

Things like this can take time but it sounds like you're on the right path. I would review the resources above and stay on top of your backlinks. Hope this helps somewhat - let me know if you have any other questions or comments - good luck!
