Why Do I Not Rank At All

Low allintitle results - This isn´t a measure of the level of the competition but the SIZE of it. It´s NOT the same going up against 100,000+ other pages on the internet that are also targeting the same keyword as me. But, this doesn´t mean whenever you run an allintitle and you get 20 results you should be happy because all those 20 results could be filled with large number of all the signs I just mentioned above and, therefore, making it nearly impossible to rank.
So how do we target long tail keywords? If I search for best X for A, serps show articles with no keyword (A) in title with hundreds of backlinks but the articles are somehow niche relevant.

Same way bro, by...
  • Building an amazing piece of content that matches user´s search intent the best possible way.
  • Fully optimize the page for all the major ranking factors
  • Heavily focusing on building high-quality and relevant links for it.
  • Interlink it with my top ranking and relevant pages/content

That´s ok, you just need to offer a higher quality, more in-depth and better-optimized article than the one showing up in the SERP and focus on building stronger and relevant links to it.
 
There is a term/phrase you need to understand, it's "https://moz.com/blog/crawled-currently-not-indexed-coverage-status". You will find this term in Google Webmaster and it simply means Google has crawled your page but Google doesn't find your content informative or good enough to be indexed.

Yes, Google may show results of the website which have lower DA or fewer backlinks than your webpage but the point is simple, Google found their content is better than yours.

So, if you want to rank on the desired key phrase, make your content better.
 
Check your Site at Google Search Console. There u will find a lot of information or if ur site got a penalty. Try to rank first for something very easy with a very small city to find out if it is ranking. Even your site should rank without any penalty in low competition section + small city. If not and you dont get any info out of the google search console, then you should delete your content and get a fresh unused site and try it there again.
Of course normal things like make your content better might work as well but why should you work hard if the domain is burned.
 
There are a lot of variables here. @Roger Marquez has covered all of them, and then some. All amazing advice.
I won’t repeat anything, but I will remind you that a new update is coming soon. Be patient and you might get lucky.
 
I forgot something so all my backlinks point to mywebsite.com/page1 but according to googles searchmetrics its a canonical and they are using mywebsite.com/wppost/page1 instead. Does this maybe contribute to the not ranking issue?
 
1. Use keywords having high search volume and lower competition.
2. Make sure you are getting backlinks from relevant sites having high DA.
3. Remove spam links.
4. Don't do keyword stuffing in your posts.
5. Use Copyscape to check for plagiarism than small SEO tools. If your content doesn't pass Copyscape, then considering rewriting or removing it.
6. Fix technical issues (if you have any).
 
Run the audit and fix all the issues your website is having.
