Hi Brent,

I just  took a quick look as a friendly courtesy...

To be honest, the list of backlinks pointing to your domain seem pretty suspect in comparison to website's I've been working with over the years. Google may find this suspect as well, though I am not certain, at least at this second.

As you know, lots of backlinks can mean a high DA, but DA is simply a Moz metric -- not a Google metric  -- and doesn't automatically equate to high ranks in the SERPs.

Beyond this, you may want to make sure that (1) you're set up properly with Google Search Console, (2) you have a sitemap submitted, and (3) you're website is allowing search engines to crawl it.

Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you'd like us to take a deeper dive.

Best,
Zack

Hi Brent,

Can you please share more specifics so I can take a look? (Also... Keep in mind that DA is a Moz metric (not a Google metric), so it is taking a "best guess" of course.)

Thanks,
Zack

Just in case it's helpful...

For quite some time I've had issues using Moz Bar (and even the Moz website) using Chrome. As of this year, I use Safari when using Moz's Q&A forum, to be honest.

Hi Tejas,

This falls slightly outside of my area of expertise, but not by too much. Have you dug into Google's recommendations regarding canonicalization? That is where I would start.

Hi MarkJerry,

In addition to Ibrahim_Khan's response, DA can also decrease when competitors' DA increases. That is also something to take into consideration.

Best of luck.

Hi snjaoieiw,

To get a detailed answer from Moz staff on what DA is, you might consider searching the Q&A forum.

In short, though, it is a Moz metric (not a Google or Bing metric) that takes into consideration the number (and quality) of backlinks your website has. That said, have you been working on building up high quality backlinks?

Greg,

Thanks so much for following up. I applaud your effort in this, and am sorry to hear that posting to GMB didn't do the trick.

Silly question, possibly, but just in case  -- have you used Google Search Console to ensure that your page containing backlinks is being indexed?

Best,
Zack

Hi Andy,

We just went through this with a client. Here's a little bit of our experience, just in case this is useful.

• For a client's keyword research, we started by putting together keyword research seed lists based initially by going through their Google Search Console "queries". We gathered together those keywords, for each page, and added geo locations to the keywords, pluralization, and other types of basic variations to get to hundreds (or more) of keywords for each page. BUT yes, like you, most of these keywords in our initial seed lists wound up having "No data" for search volume.

• Fortunately, however, we also then  added in Moz ideas, using Moz Pro Keyword Explorer. This brought many  more suggestions in for each page, and while some were highly irrelevant, it did bring many ideas in that we had not thought of, which helped bolster our lists, and with very high search volume keyword ideas to boot.

Hope this helps!

Zack

Hi Greg,

Yes, no problem at all.

From within your Google My Business profile, you can see the "Your latest post" section, and click the "Create post" button. Hope this helps! (Please let me know your findings if you don't mind!)

Much appreciated,
Zack

Hi there,

Have you reached out to Moz support with this request?

Best,
Zack

Hi there,

To chime in, I believe it would be incredibly helpful for you to go through Moz training for keyword research. Have you done so?

Best,
Zack

This may or may not help, but to chime in, I have heard of SEOs posting pages in Google updates and social media posts to help it get picked up faster. If you try this, can you let me know how that goes?

Thanks,
Zack
