Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

These pages are virtually identical and I wouldn't be surprised if Google views these as duplicate or spammy.

Both of these pages serve the same user intent - moving from Gold Coast to another location - and it's therefore worth considering having just one page that covers all of the numerous destinations.

Both pages have an unnatural amount of keyword usage which may also trigger a spammy issue.

If the purpose is to rank for "moving from Gold Coast to...." type searches than this page would probably benefit from having more Gold Coast related content - geographical info, images, etc.

Good luck

Loving the new Link Explorer - it's obviously a big jump in index size and I have immediately noticed a lot more links which previously didn't show up.

Given that 'link building' is probably the hardest things for most SEOs, having a much wider list of competitor links to evaluate just made everyone's jobs that much easier - so for that reason alone, it's a brilliant new update.

Hello,

There are certainly a few more things you can check.

1. has this page been indexed yet by Google? If not, you can request an index

2. Which country are you searching from? Have you set Google to show results to a certain location?

3. How many links do you have pointing to this page? What's the PA for this page?

4. Lapland is in Finland right? with the country code FI. Not 100% sure where you're targeting so this may or may not be relevant.

Hello,

Are you a Moz subscriber? If you're tracking a website and competitors, you can use the links tool to see precisely what links your competitors are getting: Domain | Linking Page | Anchor Text.

Hi Jon,

I'd happily take a look at this for you. What search term are you trying to rank for?

What is your own page optimisation score for that term?

What is your PA and DA of your competition (relative to your own) in the rankings?

Hi Jonathan,

I hope that I can (at least partially) answer your question.

We know that great content and positive engagement metrics are far more important than basic optimisation strategies like keywords in H1 or the URL. So, whilst some of the SEO 'low hanging fruit' is missing it actually counts for relatively little.

I've had a quick look at the page and there's a lot of very detailed content that looks like it will do a good job of being useful / helpful to users.

The challenge would be to create content that's even better, easier or more useful than this.
