Ranking on google search

Hello Mozzers
Moz On page grader shows A grade for the particular URL,but my page was not ranking on top 100 Google search.
Any help is appreciated ,Thanks

I'd actually recommend checking out the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool, and the Full SERP Analysis Report it can generate. That can give you a breakdown of the factors that are most likely helping the top 10 sites for a given keyword rank, which can in turn help you work out what you'll need to do.
Cyrus Shepard made a great video on it here.

Honestly speaking there is no such tool exist that precisely let you know why you're not ranking and others are.
But in terms of backlinks comparison, you may utilize Moz analytics feature and OSE's "Compare Link Metrics" & "Link Opportunities" options.
Thanks,

The site which was ranking at no 4 and 5 does not have much optimization and backlinks but it was ranking at no 4.
Is there any tool to find out why the site is ranking at no 4 and why it is not.
Thanks

If your page secured the "A" grade in on-page, it doesn't mean you will be in top 100 now.
Various other factors including backinks, targeted traffic, technical SEO things and lots of other things are also very important.
Hope this helps!

Hi there
The page grader is great for on-page optimization for particular keywords or queries, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee rankings.
Reason being - the keywords/queries you are trying to rank for could be incredibly competitive or difficulty to rank for. Your industry SERPs could be taken over by big brand names or companies that have been around a long time with authority built in the industry.
There are a multitude of factors to consider in your ranking position:
Domain / Page Authority
Backlinks
Personalized Search Personas, Keyword Research, & Content
Schema markup opportunities
Local SEO
And a ton more...I would recommend paying attention to your Average Position in Google Search Console so that you can pay attention to how Google is ranking your site directly. Given personalized search and the factors that play into it, this is a good gauge on where you rank across multiple factors (location, device, search history, etc.)
I would also recommend you check out the multiple guides that Moz has, as well as the Moz Academy - both have tons of great resources and can get you started on the right foot to ranking for what you want to be ranking for.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

What should I do if same content ranked twice or more on Google?
I have a Bangla SEO related blog where I have written article like "Domain Selection" "SEO Tools" "MOZ" etc. All the article has been written in Bengali language. I have used wp tag for every post. I have submit xml site map generated by Yoast SEO. However I kept "no index" for category. I know well duplicate content is a major problem for SEO. After publishing my content Google ranked them on 1st page. But my fear is that most of the content twice or more. The keywords are ranked by post, wp post tag and Archive. Now I have a fear of penalty. Please check the screenshot and please suggest me what to do. uRCHf yq7m2 rSLKFLG

Blacklisted website no longer blacklisted, but will not appear on Google's search engine.
We have a client who before us, had a website that was blacklisted by Google. After we created their new website, we submitted an appeal through Google's Webmaster Tools, and it was approved. One year later, they are still unable to rank for anything on Google. The keyword we are attempting to rank for on their home page is "Day in the Life Legal Videos" which shouldn't be too difficult to rank for after a year. But their website cannot be found. What else can we do to repair this previously blacklisted website after we're already been approved by Google? After doing a link audit, we found only one link with a spam score of 7, but I highly doubt that is what is causing this website to no longer appear on Google. Here is the website in question: https://www.verdictvideos.com/

Is Google Certified shops a ranking factor?
Hi This is to spark a debate, rather than an answer which has a specific answer. While Google may claim that being on the certified programme doesn't increase your ranking, but part of their algorithm looks into whether a website is trustworthy. To get accepted onto the certified shops you have to prove your a trust worthy reliable business that constantly gets audited. So surely this must be directly / indirectly be a ranking factor? Just thought I would throw it out there for a debate.

Google Mobile Friendly designation in Search results
We have recently deployed a mobile (http://m.pssl.com) version of our desktop website (http://www.pssl.com). We've followed the guidelines in their documentation (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6101188) & (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2015/04/rolling-out-mobile-friendly-update.html), added the appropriate rel=alternate/rel=canonical tags updated site maps and robots.txt files, etc. A mobile search for our company shows the "mobile-friendly" flag in the search results for our home page, but for some reason other pages such as category and brand are not showing showing as "mobile-friendly". I can submit the pages using the mobile-friendly tester (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/) and all of the pages I test come back as mobile friendly. Does anyone have any experience or advice they'd be willing to share that might help us resolve this issue?

Ranking for local searches without city specific keywords?
Hey guys! I had asked this question a few months ago and now that we are seeing even more implicit information determining search results, I want to ask it again..in two parts. Is is STILL best practice for on-page to add the city name to your titles, h1s, content etc? It seems that this will eventually be an outdated tactic, right? If there is a decent amount of search volume without any city name in the search query (ie. "storefont signs", but no search volume for the phrase when specific cities are added (ie. "storefront signs west palm beach) is it worth trying to rank and optimize for that search term for a company in West Palm Beach? We can assume that if there are 20,000 monthly searches for the non-location specific term that SOME of them would be fairly local, so do we optimize the page without the city name and trust Google to display results with a local intent...therefore showing our client's site in the SERPS when someone searches "sign company" and they are IN West Palm Beach? If there is any confusion, please just ask me to clarify! I think this would be a great WhiteBoard Friday topic for Rand!

Bing still not listing my site after 3 weeks, Google ranks very very low
I am scared that somehow the search engines are penalizing me for something, but I don't know what. The site can be found at http://www.hypnotherapy-guide.com It is a business directory/advice/guide site listing a lot of hypnotherapists (9000). Is it possible that such a large site popping up over night is flagged by the SE as spam? I don't know what I am doing wrong.
