Tags still to break into the top 24: reviews.
What to fix first
- 1
Swap “reviews” and “customers reviews” for “star” and “ratings”
“reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “star” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customers reviews” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “ratings” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- 2
One page off on “collect reviews”
#11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
