    Tearing my hair out

    I put this in Google: Spear & Jackson 14lb hickory sledge hammer ..and your site was showing on page 1, number 7 for this product. Each product page should absolutely include the product attributes in the titles and descriptions, with bullet points and features, dimensions, weight, multiple...

    SEO Question

    Brand is not a ranking factor but brand has been seen to help SEO. So do some brand advertising and you will see some positive results. As an aside, Domain Authority means diddly for SERP positions - it's a measure created by, I think it was, Moz. Lower DA sites can be seen ranking higher...

    Squarespace Pros and Cons?

    Hi James, You can also spend a bit and get a bespoke theme created for you. However the costs can be fairly high. This is wordpress: https://www.dreamdoors.co.uk/ Or choose a theme, and get a designer to create some new images. Just replace the theme graphics with the new ones.

    Increase in us traffic fall in uk traffic

    Hi Ann, Your site has multiple issues. Have sent you my analysis of these, which will help you improve your site's quality, targeting and performance. ;) Also, are you seeing results from the Trump hack in analytics? This is false traffic and skews results.

    Competitors buying dodgy backlinks

    You also have to be careful in assuming that these links were intentionally sought. I have 16,000+ links to my site courtesy of UK Business Forums getting scraped and my signature here being placed on random sites by hackers - so you disavow. Google ignores these also.

    What should I expect from and expect to pay for marketing my Websites
