      Hi

      I am working on a site indianhomeappliances.in that for search terms such as 'best washing machine in india' appears near the top of the 2nd page of Googl for url https://indianhomeappliances.in/best-washing-machine-in-india/

      When looking at what is listed on the 1st page for 'best washing machine in india' I would appreciate any advice/guidance on what else could be done to give the site a final push to get on the 1st page of search results.

      I have made more than 60 backlinks along with sites from competitor analysis via moz for this page

      Looking at the sites that are on the 1st page I cant understand why many of them are ranking higher than me?

      Any insight and plan of attack would be most appreciated from any  search experts on the forum. My website is 2.5 months old.

      Many Thanks

          To boost your ranking, try these:

          Enhance Content: Make it more detailed and useful.
          Optimize On-Page SEO: Improve meta tags, headers, and keywords.
          Improve UX: Speed up load times and ensure mobile-friendliness.
          Localize: Add localized content if targeting an Indian audience.
          Competitor Insights: Analyze and learn from top-ranking pages.
          Good luck!

            Hi,

            I understand your challenge. Getting to the 1st page on Google can be tough. Here are a few strategies that might help:

            Content Quality: Ensure your content is comprehensive and engaging. For example, consider adding detailed comparisons or reviews about washing machines. You might also include relevant multimedia, like videos or infographics, to make your content more attractive.

            On-Page SEO: Optimize your page with the target keyword “best washing machine in India” in critical areas like the title tag, meta description, headers, and throughout your content. Ensure your page is both user-friendly and search engine-friendly.

            User Experience: Enhance the page load speed and mobile responsiveness. A smoother user experience can positively impact your rankings.

            Backlink Quality: Focus on the quality of your backlinks. Ensure they come from high-authority and relevant sites. Building relationships with influencers in your niche or using tools like Spotify for engaging content might help improve your site’s authority.

            Competitor Analysis: Examine the strategies of higher-ranking pages. Look into their content, SEO practices, and user engagement. Tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush can offer insights into their strategies.

            Local SEO: Optimize for local SEO if your target audience is in India. Use local keywords and ensure your site is listed in local directories.

            Engagement Metrics: Improve engagement metrics like click-through rate (CTR) and time on site. Engaging content can help with this.

            As a side note, you might want to explore how content on Spotify, such as playlists related to home appliances or product reviews, can help drive traffic to your site. Including a relevant Spotify playlist or integrating related content might add value and help attract more visitors.

            SEO takes time, so be patient and keep refining your strategy. Good luck, and feel free to ask for more detailed advice!

                hello
                Improving your website's ranking on Google requires a combination of strategies focused on both on-page and off-page optimization. Here are some steps you can take to enhance your website's visibility and move it into the top 10 positions:

                1. Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords that your target audience is likely to use when searching for your products or services. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to find high-volume keywords with moderate competition.

                2. Optimize On-Page Elements:

                  • Title Tags: Ensure that your title tags are descriptive, include target keywords, and are within the recommended character limit.
                  • Meta Descriptions: Write compelling meta descriptions that encourage clicks and accurately summarize the content of your pages.
                  • Headers: Use H1, H2, and H3 tags to structure your content and include relevant keywords.
                  • Content Optimization: Create high-quality, relevant content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. Incorporate target keywords naturally throughout your content.
                3. Improve Website Speed: Google considers page speed as a ranking factor. Optimize your website's loading speed by compressing images, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, and using a reliable hosting provider.

                4. Mobile-Friendliness: Ensure that your website is mobile-responsive, as Google prioritizes mobile-friendly websites in its search results. Use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test to check your website's mobile compatibility.

                5. Quality Backlinks: Acquire high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites in your industry. Focus on building relationships with influencers, guest posting on relevant blogs, and creating shareable content that naturally attracts links.

                6. Optimize for Local SEO: If your business targets a specific geographic area, optimize your website for local SEO. Claim your Google My Business listing, optimize your business information, and encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews.

                7. Regularly Update Content: Keep your website's content fresh and up-to-date to maintain relevance and attract search engine crawlers. Consider creating a blog and publishing new articles regularly to demonstrate expertise and authority in your field.

                8. Monitor Performance: Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your website's performance, monitor keyword rankings, and identify areas for improvement.

                9. Social Media Promotion: Share your website content on social media platforms to increase visibility and attract traffic. Engage with your audience and encourage sharing to expand your reach.

                10. Consider Professional Help: If you're struggling to improve your website's ranking on your own, consider hiring an SEO expert or agency with experience in optimizing websites for search engines.

                Remember that improving your website's ranking takes time and consistent effort. By implementing these strategies and staying informed about changes in search engine algorithms, you can gradually improve your website's visibility and move it into the top 10 positions on Google.

                  Most important thing to understand is that when it comes to improving your companies, organic SEO, that it is a slow process very slow, so what you don't want is to rush it because you might end up making SEO mistakes. It's better to implement high quality white hat SEO

                        Strong spam should be diluted without anchor links. And there will be happiness! Here is my page https://trust-seo.com/zakaz-croud-links/ which is on the second page. I can't figure out why it's not on the first page.

                                        Google Adsbot crawling order confirmation pages?

                                        Hi, We have had roughly 1000+ requests per 24 hours from Google-adsbot to our confirmation pages. This generates an error as the confirmation page cannot be viewed after closing or by anyone who didn't complete the order. How is google-adsbot finding pages to crawl that are not linked to anywhere on the site, in the sitemap or linked to anywhere else? Is there any harm in a google crawler receiving a higher percentage of errors - even though the pages are not supposed to be requested. Is there anything we can do to prevent the errors for the benefit of our network team and what are the possible risks of any measures we can take? This bot seems to be for evaluating the quality of landing pages used in for Adwords so why is it trying to access confirmation pages when they have not been set for any of our adverts? We included "Disallow: /confirmation" in the robots.txt but it has continued to request these pages, generating a 403 page and an error in the log files so it seems Adsbot doesn't follow robots.txt. Thanks in advance for any help, Sam

                                        Location Pages On Website vs Landing pages

                                        We have been having a terrible time in the local search results for 20 + locations. I have Places set up and all, but we decided to create location pages on our sites for each location - brief description and content optimized for our main service. The path would be something like .com/location/example. One option that has came up in question is to create landing pages / "mini websites" that would probably be location-example.url.com. I believe that the latter option, mini sites for each location, would be a bad idea as those kinds of tactics were once spammy in the past. What are are your thoughts and and resources so I can convince my team on the best practice.

                                        Why my website disappears for the keywords ranked, then reappears and so on?

                                        Hello to everyone. In the last 2 weeks my website emorroidi.imieirimedinaturali.it has a strange behavior in SERP: it disappears for the keywords ranked and then reappears, and so on. Here's the chronicle of the last days: 12/6: message in GWT: Improvement of the visibility of the website in search. 12/6 the website disappears for all the keywords ranked 16/6 the website reappears for all the keywords ranked with some keywords higher in ranking 18/6 the website disappears for all the keywords ranked 22/6 the website reappears for all the keywords ranked 24/6 the website disappears for all the keywords ranked... I can't explain this situation. Could it be a penalty? What Kind? Thank you.

                                        Do Page Views Matter? (ranking factor?)

                                        Hi, I actually asked it a year and a half ago (with a slight variation) but didn't get any real response and things do change over time. On my eCommerce website I have the main category pages with client side filtering and sorting. As a result, the number of page views is lower than can be expected. Do you think having more page views is still a ranking factor? and if so is it more important than user experience? Thanks

                                        Why am I not ranking in Google, but I am in Yahoo and Bing?

                                        The website in question is: www.stbarthexclusives.com Our keywords are currently ranking for both Bing and Yahoo, but we're not appearing anywhere on Google. The website is being crawled successfully, but we still don't have any results. I hoping somebody can point me in the general right direction to fix/correct this problem. Additionally, there's a decent amount of "rel=canonical tags" on the website. If that helps your evaluation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

                                        NOINDEX listing pages: Page 2, Page 3... etc?

                                        Would it be beneficial to NOINDEX category listing pages except for the first page.  For example on this site: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/101/fsx-missions/ Has lots of pages such as Page 2, Page 3, Page 4... etc: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aflyawaysimulation.com+fsx+missions Would there be any SEO benefit of NOINDEX on these pages?  Of course, FOLLOW is default, so links would still be followed and juice applied. Your thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.

                                        There's a website I'm working with that has a .php extension. All the pages do. What's the best practice to remove the .php extension across all pages?

                                        Client wishes to drop the .php extension on all their pages (they've got around 2k pages). I assured them that wasn't necessary. However, in the event that I do end up doing this what's the best practices way (and easiest way) to do this? This is also a WordPress site. Thanks.
