Hi - ranking everyone but myself.

Hi everyone, I came here to learn and contribute, but I have a terrible problem - my own site seems great but won't rank. I keep trying and doing so much, - it all seems like recycled garbage - I'm hoping something here will help me turn the dial the other way. I have a great site, or so it seems to me, but I'm getting destroyed in the rankings. I tried ranking for pest control bristol or bristol pest control, low competition terms. I'm on page 2 or 3. If anyone knows where I can discover the answers to why I'm all ears. I've tried Moz, SEMrush and I'm currently on Ahrefs, and WTF nothing helps, and I've been trying for five years! Point the way, someone, please. my site is waspkilluk.co.uk/.

First rule, never share your site on BH forum. Second rule is if you are stuck on Page 2, increase your link relevance plus interlinking and check for your anchor text ratio.

Welcome to BHW, Simon.

Search for SEO checklist and make sure your site complies with everything. That's the low hanging fruit.

I couldn't see you in Google maps have you set that up? If you can get yourself in the top 3 on there that should help.

Many Thanks - I will school myself in those things and feedback on how I get on. Most of you will appreciate just how isolated folks can feel doing SEO, especially when you get stuck!
