Why You Shouldn't Solely Trust Third-Party SEO Tools

-

When it comes to SEO, third-party tools may not always provide the most accurate data. It's essential not to rely too heavily on third-party metrics.

Let's take a look at an example using the Moz tool's Spam Score:

On December 3, 2021, the Spam Score for the SCGS website was at 36%. This increase was due to a malware infection that affected the site in June and July. Although the issue was resolved during that period, the Spam Score remained high at 36% .

It took approximately two years for the Spam Score to return to a normal 1%.

On January 19, 2023, the SCGS website's Moz Spam Score was at 1%, marking a significant improvement. It took about a year for this metric to reflect the website's recovery and return to a normal score.

This example illustrates that third-party metrics can be slow to update and may not always provide accurate, real-time information. It's important to remember that each SEO tool has its unique capabilities for crawling and indexing websites.

In summary, don't be overly concerned with third-party metrics in every situation. These tools have their strengths and limitations, and it's advisable to complement them with other SEO practices for a comprehensive understanding of your website's performance."

From an SEO perspective, this content provides a clearer explanation of the issue and solution while maintaining readability. It also touches on the importance of not solely relying on third-party metrics, which is a valuable SEO consideration.

In this post, I would like to share my experience of bringing one of our clients to the first page first position on Google SERP for a high search volume keyword. The client, Pothys, is a big brand in the textile industry with a strong reputation in offline marketing. However, their website was not optimized for basic SEO practices, which I discovered during my initial audit. Pothys was facing a common challenge among businesses - ranking high on Google for a high search volume keyword, "Silk Sarees." When I first analyzed the keyword position, the website was ranking at 7th position on the first page of Google SERP. But Pothys was determined to reach the first position. The search volume of the keyword "Silk Sarees" is (49500/month). I identified several issues with the website that were hindering its search engine ranking. These issues included: Keyword cannibalization : The same keyword "Silk Sarees" was targeted on multiple pages on the site, which was...
