Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

I'm trying optimize my google search for local business in Fort Myers, FL area. I've created specific keywords that people are searching and have made my page title and on-page experience reflect this relevency.  However, the page isn't appearing anywhere on google search even though search console has stated that the page has been indexed.  My question is, how do I trouble shoot this so that I can appear in local search for these search terms?

We're doing that but still no luck. We have more links and reviews and higher DA but we're still not showing up on local. Thoughts?

Hello,

I purchased Moz Local for our fitness and performance company, BIM Fitness & Performance, about 6 weeks ago.

Compared to the other people in our area, we have the highest DA. We show up 2nd in search but are not showing up on the "map pack" for local.

That said, can someone please help me pinpoint why this may be? We've selected several categories that are relevant to search and we can't seem to understand why.

Thank you all for your responses.

Over the course of the last few weeks, my site has continued to further be slipping in rankings locally.

My question is, where do I start to detect the issue and regain my previous rankings?

Hi Everyone,

So I've done some investigating on search console and we don't have any manual actions against us but my search traffic is down by 33% from last week. That said, could we have been punished by google from an algorithm update?

I'd love someone's expertise to discern why we've dropped dramatically when we get high-quality backlinks and have a very low spam score and our domain authority is much higher than our competitors. Thank you.

Got it.

So how long does google punish you?

Should I stop getting backlinks or just slow down the rate that I'm doing it?

Will my ranking eventually go back up?

Hello,

My team and I have been trying to get high-quality back-links by seeking other sites and blogs. We were ranking really well and then all of a sudden, our rankings dropped dramatically.

We were only using backlinks and good ones at that, yet, our rankings have dropped. Is it possible for google to punish us for getting too many too fast? If not, what could be some of the other problems?

Hello,

How do I appear on the local listings for google in different categories or services that I offer? For instance, we're a physical therapy clinic by trade but we specialize in orthopedics, sports medicine, and lower back pain.

Thus, how do I rank on google local for these types of services? Currently, we rank for physical therapy but we also miss out on a big part of our business by not ranking for these listings on local. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott

Hello,

I own a fitness and sports performance facility called BIM Fitness & Performance in Fort Myers, FL.

We have a simple site structure with 3 key pages; however, I'm not exactly what type of keywords I should rank for on each page and I think that they're actually conflicting to one another. That said, I'd like some insight as far as what I should do with these pages and what you would recommend that I do with the keywords and the meta descriptions. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

We're a physical therapy practice and rank high for our physical therapy clinic and those type of keywords; however, how do I rank for keywords such as:

back pain treatment?

herniated disc treatment?

We have pages specific to these keywords but aren't ranking. Thoughts?

Hey Everyone,

I'm curious if anyone can provide some insight as to what my keywords should be for my website. Just as a quick heads up, my company, Back In Motion Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, is a physical therapy clinic that specializes in orthopedic, sport, and spine injuries. You can find my site here: www.backinmotionsspt.com

That said, I understand about doing key word research and integrating that on the site. However, since I am a smaller practice should the end of the my key word entail my city of Fort Myers, FL. For instance, should my key words be the following:

1. Orthopedic physical therapy Fort Myers, FL

2. Sport Rehabilitation Fort Myers, FL

3. Back Pain Relief Fort Myers, FL

Or....

Should they just be:

1. Orthopedic physical therapy

2. Sport rehabilitaiton

3. Back pain relief

I look forward to hearing any and all feedback.
