Welcome to the Q&A Forum

yes,  bad example sorry.  there are about 100 local search pages, and this is the only one that the seo company have done anything with.  it won't move beyond this position either.  pages like 'drug rehab Lincolnshire' drug rehab Staffordshire 'drug rehab Lancashire'  are coming nowhere.

I am desperately hoping that someone can help with this enquiry.

I set up a site www.drug-rehab.ltd.uk about two years ago, on wordpress. I was enjoying top four positions for my local search. Until, in my ignorant stupidity, I changed the site to html as the page load was about 15 seconds a page on wordpress.

At the time I didn't redirect the pages - I assumed that they would be deleted and Google would update the changes quite quickly.

I then employed an seo agency to try and fix the problem, and have been using these guys for about 6 months and there isn't any change in the seo, despite them creating the re-directs from the orphaned pages 6 months ago.

This are low competitive keywords.

I can find the indexed pages by URL on Google. i.e. http://www.drug-rehab.ltd.uk/drug-rehab-buckinghamshire.html

But I can't find the keyword phrase 'Drug Rehab Bedfordshire' etc anywhere.

I wrote to Google for page reconsideration and they told me that it doesn't have any spam penalties against it, and there is nothing to consider.

Does anyone please have any ideas how I might be able to revive this site?

Many thanks

Chris

Thanks John. Any ideas on the semantically similar words?

Is there any value in adding semantically similar words in the title tag? For instance, I have an alcohol rehab website www.alcohol-rehab.ltd.uk, I offer local search pages too.

Would the title tag "Alcohol Rehab Bedfordshire | Alcoholic Rehabilitation Clinics Beds" Be more valuable than "Alcohol Rehab Clinics Bedfordshire | www.alcohol-rehab.ltd.uk"

And is is worth while having the url in each title tag?

Also is it worth while (seo wise) writing a description tag for each page, other than for a call to action that is?
