hi, my local search listing for www.upstreamit.co.uk has dropped massively for the keyphrase "it support edinburgh" it was number 4 now its on page 8!!!! can someone please tell me why this has happened and how do i rectify this. check result here any advice, tips, tricks would be apprecated, i need to get this sorted for monday or im screwed
we use streamline.net for hosting, do you think thats likely? if so, how would this affect the local listing? and how do i rectify it? im totally new to seo, i've only optimised the site and added a local listing, not even looked at backlinks. it seems strange that it was fourth for two to three weeks then dropped so much! how do i get more quality backlinks? i've read backlinks are one of the most imporatant factors in listings.
local search results depends on so many factors. Your competitors might be working on the same keywords, that caused your drop. may be you did something wrong with the on-page which Google didn't like, or may be its just little google hiccup, and you will be back in 3-4 days.
could you give me an example? also can someone check the listing to see if there is anything spammy on it?
its a massive jump from fourth position to PAGE 8! i think its something else opposed to competitors doing some seo, im concenred there is something wrong with my listing or the current website affecting it.
did you change your hosting ? if you didn't, maybe you lost some very important links. or maybe it's just a temporary fluctuation, all what you can do is wait, and meanwhile, build quality links from it uk websites.
