SERPs Up - I'm on Page 1 Baby!
I've been waiting for this to happen, I knew it was coming, but it's finally here. I am showing up on page 1 in the Google SERPs for 10 different terms so far this month. I'm only getting a trickle of traffic from this yet - 3 clicks from my first page listings and a total of 9 from Google and 20 total including Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. Much of this jump happened in the past few days, but check it out!
Rankings: (Page Number / Number of Keywords Ranking on Page)
Page 1 / 10
Page 2 / 8
Page 3 / 5
Page 4 / 9
Page 5 / 7
Page 6 / 11
Page 7 / 9
Page 8 / 12
Page 9 / 6
Page 10 / 7
I guess this proves the legend of the 3-month mark being key.

Hi Sean,
Well done, definitely moving in the right direction.
Just a little "tip" for you - something that I often do when I go back and check GSC is to see if there are any particular keywords that receive a high number of impressions, but I haven't actually included in the post.
So, for example you have a couple of keyword phrases where you've received over 150 impressions and are "ranked" on page 2 of Google.
Check the page/post that they are related to and then check if you have that EXACT phrase included within your content (CTRL+F and then type in the phrase).
If not, work it naturally into your content, perhaps even include it in a H3 tag if possible.
You may find that having the "exact" phrase within your content pushes your aticle higher in the rankings for those high impression keywords.
Thanks

Congratulations on your rankings! Very nice going!
You are absolutely right. It takes time to rank and conclusions cannot be drawn too early; otherwise real success is missed.
We wish you continued success..

Hi Sean,
Rember that the first page's first organic result receives 28.5% CTR everything else is not guaranteed to bring traffic to your website.
So even though you have top rankings on most of your material, after page 3, I don't think it really matters after that.
However, you are ranking so that is a very big and positive thing for sure!
Consistency is the key to success,
Calvin
