    Hi

    I am working on a site indianhomeappliances.in that for search terms such as 'best washing machine in india' appears near the top of the 2nd page of Googl for url https://indianhomeappliances.in/best-washing-machine-in-india/

    When looking at what is listed on the 1st page for 'best washing machine in india' I would appreciate any advice/guidance on what else could be done to give the site a final push to get on the 1st page of search results.

    I have made more than 60 backlinks along with sites from competitor analysis via moz for this page

    Looking at the sites that are on the 1st page I cant understand why many of them are ranking higher than me?

    Any insight and plan of attack would be most appreciated from any  search experts on the forum. My website is 2.5 months old.

    Many Thanks

        Enhance Content: Make it more detailed and useful.
        Optimize On-Page SEO: Improve meta tags, headers, and keywords.
        Improve UX: Speed up load times and ensure mobile-friendliness.
        Localize: Add localized content if targeting an Indian audience.
        Competitor Insights: Analyze and learn from top-ranking pages.
        Good luck!

          Hi,

          I understand your challenge. Getting to the 1st page on Google can be tough. Here are a few strategies that might help:

          Content Quality: Ensure your content is comprehensive and engaging. For example, consider adding detailed comparisons or reviews about washing machines. You might also include relevant multimedia, like videos or infographics, to make your content more attractive.

          On-Page SEO: Optimize your page with the target keyword “best washing machine in India” in critical areas like the title tag, meta description, headers, and throughout your content. Ensure your page is both user-friendly and search engine-friendly.

          User Experience: Enhance the page load speed and mobile responsiveness. A smoother user experience can positively impact your rankings.

          Backlink Quality: Focus on the quality of your backlinks. Ensure they come from high-authority and relevant sites. Building relationships with influencers in your niche or using tools like Spotify for engaging content might help improve your site’s authority.

          Competitor Analysis: Examine the strategies of higher-ranking pages. Look into their content, SEO practices, and user engagement. Tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush can offer insights into their strategies.

          Local SEO: Optimize for local SEO if your target audience is in India. Use local keywords and ensure your site is listed in local directories.

          Engagement Metrics: Improve engagement metrics like click-through rate (CTR) and time on site. Engaging content can help with this.

          As a side note, you might want to explore how content on Spotify, such as playlists related to home appliances or product reviews, can help drive traffic to your site. Including a relevant Spotify playlist or integrating related content might add value and help attract more visitors.

          SEO takes time, so be patient and keep refining your strategy. Good luck, and feel free to ask for more detailed advice!

              hello
              Improving your website's ranking on Google requires a combination of strategies focused on both on-page and off-page optimization. Here are some steps you can take to enhance your website's visibility and move it into the top 10 positions:

              1. Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords that your target audience is likely to use when searching for your products or services. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to find high-volume keywords with moderate competition.

              2. Optimize On-Page Elements:

                • Title Tags: Ensure that your title tags are descriptive, include target keywords, and are within the recommended character limit.
                • Meta Descriptions: Write compelling meta descriptions that encourage clicks and accurately summarize the content of your pages.
                • Headers: Use H1, H2, and H3 tags to structure your content and include relevant keywords.
                • Content Optimization: Create high-quality, relevant content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. Incorporate target keywords naturally throughout your content.
              3. Improve Website Speed: Google considers page speed as a ranking factor. Optimize your website's loading speed by compressing images, minifying CSS and JavaScript files, and using a reliable hosting provider.

              4. Mobile-Friendliness: Ensure that your website is mobile-responsive, as Google prioritizes mobile-friendly websites in its search results. Use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test to check your website's mobile compatibility.

              5. Quality Backlinks: Acquire high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites in your industry. Focus on building relationships with influencers, guest posting on relevant blogs, and creating shareable content that naturally attracts links.

              6. Optimize for Local SEO: If your business targets a specific geographic area, optimize your website for local SEO. Claim your Google My Business listing, optimize your business information, and encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews.

              7. Regularly Update Content: Keep your website's content fresh and up-to-date to maintain relevance and attract search engine crawlers. Consider creating a blog and publishing new articles regularly to demonstrate expertise and authority in your field.

              8. Monitor Performance: Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your website's performance, monitor keyword rankings, and identify areas for improvement.

              9. Social Media Promotion: Share your website content on social media platforms to increase visibility and attract traffic. Engage with your audience and encourage sharing to expand your reach.

              10. Consider Professional Help: If you're struggling to improve your website's ranking on your own, consider hiring an SEO expert or agency with experience in optimizing websites for search engines.

              Remember that improving your website's ranking takes time and consistent effort. By implementing these strategies and staying informed about changes in search engine algorithms, you can gradually improve your website's visibility and move it into the top 10 positions on Google.

                Most important thing to understand is that when it comes to improving your companies, organic SEO, that it is a slow process very slow, so what you don't want is to rush it because you might end up making SEO mistakes. It's better to implement high quality white hat SEO

                      Strong spam should be diluted without anchor links. And there will be happiness! Here is my page https://trust-seo.com/zakaz-croud-links/ which is on the second page. I can't figure out why it's not on the first page.

                                      Spammy page with canonical reference to my website

                                      A potentially spammy website http://www.rofof.com/ has included a rel canonical tag pointing to my website. They've included the tag on thousands of pages on their website. Furthermore http://www.rofof.com/ appears to have backlinks from thousands of other low-value domains For example www.kazamiza.com/vb/kazamiza242122/, along with thousands of other pages on thousands of other domains all link to pages on rofof.com, and the pages they link to on rofof.com are all canonicalized to a page on my site. If Google does respect the canonical tag on rofof.com and treats it as part of my website then the thousands of spammy links that point to rofof.com could be considered as pointing to my website. I'm trying to contact the owner of www.rofof.com hoping to have the canonical tag removed from their website. In the meantime, I've disavowed the www.rofof.com, the site that has canonical tag. Will that have any effect though? Will disavow eliminate the effect of a rel canonical tag on the disavowed domain or does it only affect links on the disavowed website? If it only affects links then should I attempt to disavow all the pages that link to rofof.com? Thanks for reading. I really appreciate any insight you folks can offer.

                                      If a page ranks in the wrong country and is redirected, does that problem pass to the new page?

                                      Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem: A new multilingual site was launched about 2 months ago. It has correct hreflang tags and Geo targetting in GSC for every language version. We redirected some relevant pages (with good PA) from another website of our client's. It turned out that the pages were not ranking in the correct country markets (for example, the en-gb page ranking in the USA). The pages from our site seem to have the same problem. Do you think they inherited it due to the redirects? Is it possible that Google will sort things out over some time, given the fact that the new pages have correct hreflangs? Is there stuff we could do to help ranking in the correct country markets?

                                      Ranking 1st for a keyword - but when 's' is added to the end we are ranking on the second page

                                      Hi everyone - hope you are well. I can't get my head around why we are ranking 1st for a specific keyword, but then when 's' is added to the end of the keyword - we are ranking on the second page. What could be the cause of this? I thought that Google would class both of the keywords the same, in this case, let's say the keyword was 'button'. We would be ranking 1st for 'button', but 'buttons' we are ranking on the second page. Any ideas? - I appreciate every comment.

                                      Do Page Views Matter? (ranking factor?)

                                      Hi, I actually asked it a year and a half ago (with a slight variation) but didn't get any real response and things do change over time. On my eCommerce website I have the main category pages with client side filtering and sorting. As a result, the number of page views is lower than can be expected. Do you think having more page views is still a ranking factor? and if so is it more important than user experience? Thanks

                                      Pages are Indexed but not Cached by Google. Why?

                                      Here's an example: I get a 404 error for this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all But a search for qjamba restaurant coupons gives a clear result as does this: site:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all What is going on?  How can this page be indexed but not in the Google cache? I should make clear that the page is not showing up with any kind of error in webmaster tools, and Google has been crawling pages just fine.  This particular page was fetched by Google yesterday with no problems, and even crawled again twice today by Google  Yet, no cache.

                                      Our login pages are being indexed by Google - How do you remove them?

                                      Each of our login pages show up under different subdomains of our website. Currently these are accessible by Google which is a huge competitive advantage for our competitors looking for our client list. We've done a few things to try to rectify the problem: -  No index/archive to each login page Robot.txt to all subdomains to block search engines gone into webmaster tools and added the subdomain of one of our bigger clients then requested to remove it from Google (This would be great to do for every subdomain but we have a LOT of clients and it would require tons of backend work to make this happen.) Other than the last option, is there something we can do that will remove subdomains from being viewed from search engines? We know the robots.txt are working since the message on search results say: "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more." But we'd like the whole link to disappear.. Any suggestions?

                                      Stuck on Page 2 - What Would You Do?!?

                                      My site is : http://goo.gl/JgK1e My main keyword is : Plastic Bins i have been going back and forth between page 1 and 2 for this keyword and i was wondering if any of you could provide any guidance as to why i can't get on the top of page 1, and stay there... My site has been around for a while, we believe we have a great user experience, all unique, fresh content, and the lowest prices... I must be missing out on something major if I cannot get a steady page 1 ranking... Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...

                                      Google is indexing wordpress attachment pages

                                      Hey, I have a bit of a problem/issue what is freaking me out a bit. I hope you can help me. If i do site:www.somesitename.com search in Google i see that Google is indexing my attachment pages. I want to redirect attachment URL's to parent post and stop google from indexing them. I have used different redirect plugins in hope that i can fix it myself but plugins don't work. I get a error:"too many redirects occurred trying to open www.somesitename.com/?attachment_id=1982 ". Do i need to change something in my attachment.php fail? Any idea what is causing this problem? get_header(); ?> /* Run the loop to output the attachment. * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file * called loop-attachment.php and that will be used instead. */ get_template_part( 'loop', 'attachment' ); ?>
