French Proofreader SEO Project

SEO for a French Proofreader 

We are currently working on a project to improve the search optimisation and ranking for a French proof reader.

The website has a good domain name www.frenchproofreading.co.uk, it is built using the Bootstrap framework. It is curently a single page website with no social media links or blog.

What are the keywords or phrases?

The key search term is "french proofreading" or "french proofreader". Or is it? Is it proofreader, proof reader or proof-reader? What do people use to search?

A quick search on Google provides the answer. When searching for "french proof reader" it suggests using "french proofreader".

Searching for french proof reader


A sudden position drop on Google

On Wednesday 15th December 2021 the position of the website when searching for the keywords sudden dropped as you can see in the following graphic. Although it has risen a little since.

SERP Results for frenchproofreading.co.uk

This has caused the website to now be found at least on the second page of results on Google. Not good.

What could be the cause?

According to industry reports, Google had an error that cause mass notices from search console coverage issue redirect errors and also has just completed a products reviews update. It doesn't seem likely that either of these would be a likely cause. Either some competitors have optimised and begun to rank higher or there has been a loss of some backlinks. Maybe both. Whatever the cause, it is time to ge to work.

Targeting High Volume Search Terms

 Small Improvements Can Mean Large Gains After an anlysis of the SERPs data during an on-going search engine optimisation project for a cleaning company has highlighted some keywords that are perfect for working on. There are a number of search terms that have a good monthly search volume and the site is ranking well for them but are just off the first page of results on Google. The search volume is high because these are for locations such as Glasgow.  These are the terms that we are working on and their current SERP in January 2022. We will return to update this page in the future. Graffiti Removal Glasgow - Local Search Volume of 40 and currently ranks 11.

New SEO project for a 3 letter acronym

We have been asked to improve the search engine optimisation of the Jaguar Drivers' Club website but it is quite a tricky one. The website ranks very well, usually on the first page of Google with the location set to UK, when searching directly for terms such as "Jaguar Drivers Club", "Jaguar Club" or "Jaguar Driver" but the club is also know as " JDC ". This presents a difficult task. How many companies and organisations will want to be found simply by searching for " JDC "?
