1) use ahrefs and see why your competitor is ranking 2) you can even use the service of surfer seo though at times it does gives irrelevant recommendations 3) last and most importantly build strong backlinks also do remember no one can guarantee you’ll rank so you need to keep on trying and trying
My question is not related with this.
Example:
My website rank top 1 on keyword dog for sale in USA.
Also already ranked first page for all areas except one area.
- dog for sale in aaa
- dog for sale in bbb
- dog for sale in ccc
- etc
For certain area (with a lot of content), the ranking even not in top 100.
It seems like Google block my website ranking for certain keyword.
But sometimes it ranked on first page, but it is rarely.
Most of the time, I can not find in top 100.
Thanks.

Are you situated in that area? You will have to fight websites that are built for that particular local audience and will have a stronger power in that particular area. Just build content for lsi and continue to build backlinks and you will manage to outrank them at some point..
Yes i am situated in that area.

It may be because you are lacking some quality local listing links or as you are trying to focus on particular city then there is chance of getting high competition for that particular region. Check for top 10 sites when searching for that particular region. See what they did. Also can suggest you to build some quality classifieds and local listings backlinks for that particular region. Keep the ip for same region while doing link building. May this will change the things for you.

Yes, over optimisation can cause this, either on-site or off-page.
Try writing a similar content on a completely new url and see how google ranks.

It is a common mistake made by most bloggers. You need to use SEO tools and enhance your keyword research before publishing your articles.

Check the keywords whether the page is completely relevant or not. Optimize the keywords and the page and enrich the user experience.

Yes, it is a robot.txt file that tells Google to crawl your website. If your website is not indexed by Google in the first place. Then you may have blocked Google from crawling your website. If so, then Unblock it and see if the issue is fixed. Also, look for SEO tools for enhancing the issue.
