Website is not getting ranked in Google

    I have been conducting SEO Activities for the past 6 months time for a hotel website which consists 2 properties. There are multiple issues for this website a per the below.


    1) The relevant website is not being ranked at all (currently there is no ranking)


    2)When a property level website is searched only the corporate website appears, where as the relevant brand website is not being appearing. Therefore if we need to search a brand website we need to go through the main corporate website.


    3)The primary generic keywords are not being ranked.


    Seeking your advise with the same.

    Please check your robots.txt, see if you are blocking robots to your important pages. Check your site speed. Have you tried installing webmaster tools? See if they have warnings..

All the pages are updated with title and meta tags, property has been added to search console, robots is alright, sitemaps are updating on every month. and no there are no warning in search console. my main problem is site isnt not getting listed for brand keyword. site is getting listen on 3rd and 4th pages for some generic terms. is there anything i can do?

    Hi Zoti,

    Yes i can see my site is indexed.

    Do some content planning and promote it to social media to gain social media signals. Add high PR backlinks strategy to your list.
    You do all offsite and onsite, I think you are currently ranking to some good keywords for sure.

    Also check the pages that are currently ranking above you, see what PR of each pages. If the majority of the results are 3 and above then dont target that keywords.

    I think you should also focusing with placing high quality sites of your backlinks..
    sites with high PR/DA/TF should increase your main site's value..

    Build links. That's the only thing I haven't seen you mention, and is more important than all the other items you've brought up.

    Thulaboy, a client not ranking for their own brand is very concerning indeed!
    • Does their brand name contain a very common phrase?
    • What are the top 5 results for a search for their brand name?
    • To go deeper into what Alex Savvy & Synnuh said, what is the Moz Domain Authority of the site? (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/)

    Have you used (www.siteliner.com) & (www.copyscape.com) to check for duplicate content?

    Do you have a verified Google local listing for the business?

    send me the url...
    at the very least...
    I can say if the site is penalized...

    It is getting tougher to get sites to rank, and they can take longer. If you are just
    posting content, and you are sitting on the sideline, then your site will never go anywhere....

    You have to start using authority style link building and using proper anchor in your link building.
    I just watched a video, and he said it took him 6 months to rank, and then he was on page2.....

    You can be indexed, and still be penalized...
    I am not going to beg you for the url, so good luck....
