7 Website Mistakes That Hurt Your Google Rankings

Many websites lose rankings because of small, fixable mistakes. Here are seven to check on your own site today.

1. Slow loading pages

Large images and heavy scripts make pages slow, especially on mobile. Compress images and remove what you do not need.

2. Not mobile friendly

Most searches happen on phones. If your layout breaks on a small screen, both visitors and Google notice.

3. Missing or duplicate title tags

Every page needs a unique title that includes its main keyword and is written for people.

4. Thin or copied content

Short pages with little value rarely rank. Answer the visitor's question properly and in your own words.

5. Messy URLs and no internal links

Use short, readable URLs and link related pages together so visitors and Google can navigate easily.

6. No clear call to action

Traffic is only useful if visitors know what to do next. Add a clear button or form on every key page.

7. No tracking

Install Google Search Console and Analytics so you can see which pages bring traffic and which need work.
