Hi there,

Thank you for the chance to ask for some help. I have been trying to learn SEO for years, and I've even done an online course. I am useless at it. My business is not doing very well and I cannot afford to pay for SEO.

My homepage is https://www.urbani.com.au. I changed to https 1 month ago.

I am trying to rank for "outdoor furniture perth". Recently my homepage stopped ranking and a useless blog page started ranking instead (on page 5). I got rid of the blog page and redirected it to my homepage.

Do you have any ideas for why I don't exist on the face of this earth for "outdoor furniture perth"?

Thank you so much!
Whitney

    Hi Urbani,

    First of all, you are not useless. Actually, nobody is useless on this planet.

    From what I can see, your problem is basically a problem of perception. You want to be in top 10 google's results for the keyword "outdoor furniture perth". Right ?

    While I respect your above mentioned 'want', but I think your goal should be to attract as many targeted visitors to your website through organic visitors from Google who will come through a hordes of long tail keywords around 'outside furniture'.

    So how it will happen ? Let me tell you a very simple but 100% guaranteed way of doing it. Actually, it is so simple that most people ignore it.

    In one single sentence this magic solution is: Become the 'Go to Guy' on the subject of Outside Furniture in Perth. Establish your authority on this topic so that people starts approaching you while deciding to buy any Outside Furniture .

    The process of actually doing it very simple also. Make a compilation of 100 frequently asked questions on the subject of 'Outside Furniture' which you may have come across from your customers. Now, in your blog ( the so called 'useless blog' as per you) answer these questions in as much detail as possible. At present you have no category in your blog and everything is 'Uncategorized' . This is a big SEO mistake. Create relevant categories and answers questions in them. Keep doing it. Within 2 months, you will start seeing the magic.

    What I have told you is not theory. There has been the real story of a guy (Marcus Sheridan) who turned around his business of Swimming Pool Installations into the number one company in the US by using this simple strategy.

    I strongly recommend you to read the actual detailed strategy from this book (They Ask You Answer: A Revolutionary Approach to Inbound Sales, Content Marketing, and Today's Digital Consumer by the same guy I mentioned above. This will be the best $10 investment you have made in your business.

    I have noticed from using googles wayback machine that since February 19, you have changed your homepage title from, "Urbani Furniture: Outdoor Wicker Furniture for Perth" to, "Outdoor Furniture Perth | Black and White Wicker | Urbani" along with a few other changes to the page.

    You should purchase some backlinking gigs from Fiverr. If done right, it can definitely boost your ranking on Google. If you do decide to try this, make sure you get manual backlinks and not automatic. You can also try PBN and press releases, personally, I haven't done much of those two, but I have heard good things about them.

      Do you know unnatural way generated backlinks will consider as a unethical way. If you do that, SE eyes you.
      So never try to buy backlinks.

    When you change to https, you have to permanently redirect the http pages to their corresponding https pages. Or else all your SEO efforts go down the drain.
