That’s like planting a mango tree, not watering it, and then blaming the soil.
Here’s the thing: SEO doesn’t work if you’re just doing random things without a strategy.
Let me break down the 3 most common reasons your SEO isn’t working (and what I told that client):
1. Targeting the Wrong Keywords
You’re going after keywords like best marketing agency with a brand-new site.
That’s like trying to beat Messi in football… on your first day.
Fix: Start with long-tail, low-competition keywords.
Example: Instead of digital marketing, try digital marketing for dentists in Denver.
2. No On-Page Optimization
I asked, Have you optimized your meta titles, descriptions, and headers?
He replied, Meta… what?
Fix: Learn basic on-page SEO. Tools like RankMath or Yoast make it easy.
Make sure your keywords are in the right places without stuffing like biryani rice.
3. No Backlinks, No Authority
You can’t rank with 5 blogs and zero backlinks. Google’s not your chacha.
It needs proof that your site is trustworthy.
Fix: Start building high-quality backlinks, guest posts, directories, and local citations.
Even 5 good backlinks can move the needle.
I helped that client rework his strategy, and guess what?
In 3 months, he ranked on Page 1 for 5 keywords.
And he didn’t even have to dance for Google. Just followed the basics.
If your SEO isn’t working, don’t give up.
Just fix what’s broken.
