In this post, I’m going to give you 15 possible reasons why your website isn’t ranking :
1. Keyword Selection
2. On-Site SEO
3. Duplicate Content
4. Keyword Dilution
5. User Experience
6. Content
7. Social Media
8. Brand Signals
9. Link Quality
10. Link Velocity

12. Site Age
13. NAP-W Inconsistency
14. Reviews
15. SERP Click Through Rate
There are hundreds or potentially thousands of ranking factors Google uses to determine the organic results. Some have a small impact while others have a larger impact. The 15 factors I just explained are some of the largest issues I’ve encountered while working on hundreds of different websites in a variety of different industries. These are the common trends, so if you cover these factors, your site will typically be in pretty good shape. Or, you now know what is holding your website back.
Here’s what may be preventing your site from showing up in search results:
1 Google has not indexed your website yet (too new)
2 Your website isn’t optimized for search engine crawling
3 Your keyword market is very competitive
4 Your website has “no index” tags
5 Your website has been penalized and removed from Google
Check your robots.txt first
Keywords have high competition value
Search engine has not indexed your website
To improve the keyword ranking, you should optimize your keywords and use them in signatures, meta tags, title tag, alt tag, h1 tag, content, anchor text etc.
