Help - my site is losing rank fast and I don't know what I've done!

My site Easigrass.com had been ranking well but recently it's started to fall in the ranks. I don't know why but I've fallen 4 places on the last 2 months for the keyword 'artificial grass'.
anyone willing to take a look and throw me there thoughts?

We work with a firm like yours here in the US so I won't be able to go into much detail, but your site loads quite slowly here even when cached. Also, you said you rebuilt your site recently so it begs the question did you handle the redirects correctly?
On the content front, if you are dropping already make sure you create a sane strategy and that the content is new and not redone. Make sure you are answering queries, etc. BTW With new site did you change any meta descriptions? (For anyone who is going to tell me that is not a ranking factor, it is not about that.)
Have you gone in and looked at traffic change (users flow) since the change?
Hope that helps a bit.

Hi, thanks Verb. I've just managed to get our details for the Google account so will be optimising that very soon. We are hopefully going to be collecting reviews asap. Our old site used to be terrible and used to use subdomains for each local franchisee so I redesigned it and changed them to sub folders. Now we're getting way more traffic but our ranking seems to be slipping. I have some content lined up to be released soon which will cover in depth the keyword artificial grass. im hoping that is going to lift us back up.

Hi Alex,
"artificial grass" looks to be the biggest Seach volume term for you folks on the first page. I see you folks in 15th position with a search volume of 18,000. But this type of search is dominated by the Local 3-Pack, and your headquarters listing is pretty bare, see: https://www.google.ca/search?q=Easigrass+HQ+London&oq=Easigrass+HQ+London&aqs=chrome..69i57.774j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 my first step would be to optimize that for the term and ask clients if they like your services to give you a review on Google,.
Beyond that I would explore all of your listings for the over regional locations and get them optimized. You might want explore a full on local campaign, Moz Local is pretty hand for that and available in the UK
I hope that helps.

There could be variety of reasons for the loss in rankings. It depends on changes you've made on your website or marketing strategy. What type of strategy have you in place?

How do I know whether the content angle of my article is good enough to outrank or not?
Search intent is the core of writing and content marketing; its essential to know the best answer. To analyse search intent, I analyse top 10 ranking pages, see which content format is used on top 10 ranking pages and at last asses content angle. My question is, how can I come up with a unique content angle that's worth ranking and outrank existing articles and what's the points should I consider while implementing my unique content angle.

Can you rank for copyrighted/trademarked words that became generic terms?
Hi, As everyone knows, lots of generic terms we use everyday (depends from one country to another obviously) are trademark terms and technically protected.
Keyword Research | | GhillC
Some examples here and there. So my question is ... are we free to rank (or try to at least!) for some of these keywords?
Some of these keywords vastly outranked their original generic terms and there is little to no value trying to get traffic from the latter. More specifically what about the keywords such as spin, spinning etc.? Thanks!

What's the best way to find ranking keywords and phrases?
What's the best way to find ranking keywords and phrases? I have tried Google Keyword Tool but it just doesn't do the job for me (or I'm using it wrong). My main focus is people who are looking for energy saving tricks, but I'm not sure if this is the right keyword / keyphrase. The goal of this question is not to get other people to do the research for me, but rather to find the right tools and usage of those tools for the job.

What Tools Can Be Used To Determine Kw's I Should Be Optimizing For ?
What Tools Can Be Used To Determine Kw's I Should Be Optimizing For ? My concern is that I may be optimizing certain pages with wrong kw phrases and building backlinks to wrong kw phrases that are not a good conversion keyword for the services that I am selling. What are the various ways and tools that can be used to determine if I am optimizing for the right kw's phrases and not the wrong ones that will not convert into a lead from the optin form. I am wondering if ppc spy tools such as spyfu, semrush help me identify if I in fact am opitimizing for the right kw's ?
