Welcome to the Q&A Forum

No it's not that i'm afraid. Thanks for your help though.

There's also no country targeting when you add a domain in the new version.

Hey,

Thanks for your response.

Are you saying that we should remove the country targeting that we have set in the search console?

The reason we're confident that there is a technical issue is because there are competitors with lower pagerank than us and far fewer links, that are ranking in #1 for relevant search terms.

Are there any particular things i should look for?

You are right in saying the majority of our backlinks are from overseas. But it's a catch 22, as our content is ranking elsewhere and not in the UK -

Hi,

we have a slight issue with our website. We have been proactively doing SEO for the past year, but we have run into a slight issue.

Our website is ranking for search terms everywhere except Our local area (UK)

We have tried creating separate sections of our site targeted just at the UK In search console. As well as targeting the whole site as UK preferred and setting the hreflang tags to en-GB.

Nothing seems to be working, any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
