Get Wordpress HostingIt's one of the most commonly asked questions among new WordPress users who have just developed and launched a new website. You've optimised your site to the best of your ability yet you still can't manage to break past the 3rd or 4th search results page. Why is this? Thankfully the issue is nothing that can't be fixed, yet you'll still need to wait for Google to refresh their search index to see where you land once any changes have been made. Let's have a look at some of the reasons for a poor ranking below...
A little over half of the website's traffic is generated through mobile phones. Web designers have the challenge of making one website to please multiple browsers on different devices—which is why many make websites “responsive.” A “responsive” website will adapt to a format that is user-friendly for a particular device. A website that is not user-friendly will get dinged by Google during mobile- based searched queries. Google is all about promoting websites with a great user experience.
Use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test Tool to find out whether your website is mobile responsive or not and to find any issues such as partial loading (the tool will alert you to any problems it finds).
If a keyword you want to rank high for is more competitive, try getting much more specific in your keyword wording. More specific keywords are much easier to rank for.
If you log into your WordPress dashboard and navigate to "Settings > Reading Settings" and scroll down to "Site Visibility", you will see an option box titled “Allow search engines to index this site”. Make sure this box is selected otherwise you will be invisible to search engines.
