9 REASONS YOUR BLOG IS NOT RANKING #1. Mismatched Search Intent Your content must align with what users are searching for.
If there’s no search intent, you’re not
going to rank (even if your content is AMAZING). #2. Lack of Internal Linking Internal links drives link juice throughout your site and helps Google understand how different blog posts are related to each other.
Rule of thumb: if two blogs are in any
way related, they should be linked together. #3. Speed Slump Slow websites lose out in rankings.
Optimize your site's speed by
compressing images, using browser caching, and reducing unnecessary code. #4. No Mobile Optimization Mobile-friendliness is non-negotiable.
Google does mobile-first indexing.
Meaning, if your site is not optimized for mobile, you’re not going to rank. #5. You’re Outshoned by Competitors Analyze your competition.
If they have superior content and
backlinks, it's time to up your game.
Invest in better content and outreach.
#6. Thin Content Syndrome Google loves in-depth, informative content.
If your pages lack substance, you won't
rank well.
Invest in comprehensive, and well-
researched articles. #7. Inadequate Backlinks Quality over quantity matters when it comes to backlinks.
Earn high-quality, relevant links from
authoritative websites.
Use a diverse range of anchor text to
avoid over-optimization. #8. Neglecting Schema Markup Implement schema markup to help search engines understand your content better.
It enhances your search result's
appearance with rich snippets, increasing click-through rates. #9. Core Web Vitals Troubles Google's Core Web Vitals assess user experience.
Pay attention to factors like
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and First Input Delay (FID).
Fix issues to improve rankings.
