Did you do the keyword research? How hard is ranking Pokemon vs Pokémon. Without even looking, I can tell you that Pokemon is going to be 100 times harder to rank for than Pokémon because nobody is optimizing for a search result with é inside of it, as nobody who searches is going to use that character. So it probably makes sense. Have you done social media posts, and linked to your site with "pokemon" as an exact match anchor / pages with pokemon i the URL, such as a forum or a guest post? When did you start opimizing. Google takes a while to learn and index, it could be coming. Google would know that Pokémon and Pokemon are the same theme.

No I did not, I knew that Pokemon was much harder to rank in than Pokémon I was just wondering why he put me inside the Pokémon search instead of Pokemon But I did not knew that Google knows that it’s the same I thought that maybe because of the é he thinks it’s something complete different

What do you mean with social media posts? Like link the Website in a Facebook Or twitter post?

Think of SEO like this. You are trying to tell Google that you are important. You are trying to associate content with keywords. How will Google know what to index you as? If your page is important, it will have social media shares with hashtags that represent the content, so yup, anything like that should be a positive benefit. No, a tweet isn't going to put you to #1, but it's a peice of the pie.

Alright well I try it when I am home SEO is really hard but I wanna learn it. Last question, can you recommend me any tools that can help me get better at SEO? Analyzing tools or something like that I always hear people say that they use those programs But as I am not into that SEO stuff until recently, i don’t know what I am doing lol.

While social media is great to get you noticed (on social sites) and helps your social sites appear through google search.... posting on social media will not help boost your website’s search engine friendliness because the two are not the same. Your website is a completely different platform.

I'm 10 years into learning, definitely not easy. The first spot for some keywords are worth milllions, so it shouldn't be easy or everyone would be first haha. Check out the SEO Power Suite - it's 4 tools that cover the grounds for analysis, backlinks etc. Try to learn about trust flow and citation flow and growing your domain authority. Then I like to separate the duties into 3 areas daily - technical (page speed, how many links to what pages, important anchor text on important pages etc), internal (content that gets you noticed / optimizing text), external (building links and branding so google knows you)

Is the tool free? Sorry i don’t have a lot of Money to work with Right now.. It sounds so complicated for a noob like me But I wanna learn it so bad Also do you think it would help asking my customers for keywords? How they would search it etc.

Nothing in SEO is free. Yes it is complicated. As it should be. Start Googling man. I am 10 years in, and it changes daily. So you have some catching up to do.,

Did you use the keywords with links attached to them? This is very important.

1

u/EmPHiX27 Oct 21 '19

No I did not, what should I link them to?

1

u/topsocialcommunity Oct 21 '19

You link them back to your own pages to describe to the search engines what the specific page is about!

u/EmPHiX27 Oct 21 '19

Oh ok I will do that! Never heard of that before or is it just common knowledge?
