Why is my SEO so bad?

Hey there,

Our website 56 has been live for 5 months. The site functions quickly, responds well, and has optimized images. :rocket: But despite this, our SEO performance is poor. When we Google the same H1 tag used on our homepage, our site appears on the 14th page of Google results. Any insights on what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance! :pray:

Your focus on on-site SEO is good, but consider prioritizing off-site SEO backlinks too.

I ran your website through Google PageSpeed Insights and found some issues that could affect your SEO. It performs well on desktop but needs optimization for mobile, which is crucial because of high mobile internet traffic.

NOTE:

SEO rankings can vary widely; some sites rank quickly, while others take months because of various factors.

As someone who has done extensive research on SEO, I’ve learned that there are several common reasons why your website’s SEO might be underperforming. One of the biggest culprits is publishing low-quality content that doesn’t provide value to users or answer their search queries. Keyword stuffing, where you cram the same phrase into your content repeatedly, is also a major no-no that can get your site penalized by Google. Another issue is having duplicate content, either across your own pages or copied from other sites. Toxic backlinks, like links from spammy or irrelevant sites, can also drag down your rankings. To improve your SEO, focus on creating original, high-quality content that demonstrates expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness. Avoid manipulative tactics like cloaking or sneaky redirects. Build a clean, standards-based website that’s accessible and mobile-friendly. With the right approach, you can boost your search visibility and attract more qualified traffic to your site.

If your titles and descriptions are missing or not properly optimized, your SEO may be suffering. In order to inform search engines about the topic of your page, titles and descriptions are essential. Ensure that they contain your goal keywords, are distinctive, and are pertinent to your content.
