The Importance Of Search Ranking<\/span><\/h1>\n

Most people rarely move beyond the first page of results while searching a specific query. According to a recent study, the best-ranking page in an organic search result on Google manages to obtain 33% of the total traffic. The page ranked second gets only an 18% cut of the action, and the remaining traffic drops significantly from there.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trick here is that, when testing whether your website will show on Google SERPs, you want to avoid searching for your homepage directly and search instead for a page on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Google is not so simple to navigate. If the search engine isn\u2019t aware you have a page worth ranking, it won\u2019t show up among the results that drive traffic to your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Your website is new:\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

New websites may take some time for Google to crawl and index. A new website can appear on search within a few days to a few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

To check whether Google has discovered your website or page, you can run the following search on Google:\u00a0<\/span>site:yourwebsite.com<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you see no results when you search for your site on Google, you can create and submit a sitemap on\u00a0<\/span>Google Search Console<\/span><\/a>. Creating a sitemap lets Google know which pages on your site are important and where they are located.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.Your website is not optimized for SEO:\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

SEO refers to improving your website\u2019s search engine rankings (SERPs). Without SEO optimization, your website may not show up on Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Site<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution<\/span><\/strong>: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Use the Search Console to submit your website page to Google for indexing.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. You have technical issues on your website:\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

A slow-loading webpage, broken links, or duplicate content can prevent Google from crawling your website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google never indexes a website if it finds duplicate pages in terms of content. It only indexes the version that you set as canonical.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Create fresh, original, evergreen content around your target keywords. Look to approach a topic from a different angle and provide valuable insights not present in similar pieces around the web.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Your website has been penalized by Google:\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

Sites that violate Google\u2019s guidelines may be penalized. Low-quality content or black hat SEO tactics can contribute to this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution :<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

#Unnatural links pointing to your website \u2013<\/span><\/strong>if you did any of this: buying links, exchanging links, guest posting for links, commenting for links, submitting your website to thousands of spammy directories \u2013 then most probably you got a manual penalty and a message in Google search console tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

#Thin content\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>-If your website has many pages that have little or no content then either delete them or merge them.<\/span><\/p>\n

#Optimize your website<\/span><\/strong>: In situations where you are in trouble by a penalty, it helps to optimize your website as much as you can. You can use my\u00a0<\/span>SEO audit checklist<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to optimize your website for Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Your website is not mobile-friendly:\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

The search engine prefers mobile-friendly websites. Search engines may not rank your site well if it isn\u2019t mobile-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your website isn\u2019t mobile-friendly, it will affect how it\u2019s displayed on mobile devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To top it off, Google ranks pages for mobile separately from desktop, meaning that a lack of mobile optimization can hurt your ability to bring in web traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Upon taking the\u00a0<\/span>Google Mobile-Friendly Test<\/span><\/a>\u00a0check the issue and do the following steps to resolve the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Develop a responsive layout.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Optimize website speed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Compress images.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Use HTML5 instead of Adobe Flash.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Change button size and placement.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Use a large and readable font.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Space out links.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    6. You have not submitted your web page to Google Search Console:\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

    You can submit your website to Google and track its performance using the Google Search Console service. Your webpage could not appear on Google if you have not added it to Google Search Console.<\/span><\/p>\n
