If you’ve been pouring time, effort, and budget into SEO but your website is still stuck on page 3 of Google And Believe Question Your Self Why Your SEO is Dead Then you’re not alone.
Over the last 7+ years of running campaigns for startups, D2C brands, and service-based businesses, I’ve seen this question come up again and again:
“Nikhil, why is our SEO not showing results?”
Here’s the truth: most SEO strategies fail not because SEO is dead (it’s very much alive), but because they’re either outdated, misaligned with Google’s algorithms, or simply lack real value for users.
Let’s break it down
1. You're Chasing Keywords, Not Intent
It’s 2025. Google doesn’t just look for keywords anymore—it understands intent, thanks to updates like Hummingbird, BERT, and MUM. That means if you’re stuffing a page with “best digital marketing agency in Delhi” twenty times but not actually solving what the user is looking for—you won’t rank and one of the reason of why your seo is not working.
Fix it: Focus on what your user is actually searching for. Is it “how to choose a digital marketing agency” or “affordable marketing agencies with ROI case studies”? Structure your content around questions, problems, and clear answers.
2. Thin, Fluffy, or AI-Overused Content
After Google’s Helpful Content Update, thin or generic content written just to hit word counts gets ignored—or worse, penalized. If you’re using AI without human editing or publishing vague “Top 10 Tips” without original insight, you’re setting yourself up for failure and one of the reason of why your seo is not working.
Fix it: Every blog post should pass this test:
“Would I bookmark this if I found it on someone else’s site?”
If not, rewrite it. Add stats, case studies, examples from your work, or even an anecdote.
3. You Ignored Technical SEO
SEO isn’t just about content Page Speed, Mobile Friendliness, Indexability, and Core Web Vitals are key ranking signals after the Page Experience Update.
A beautiful site means nothing if Google can’t crawl it, or if your pages take 7 seconds to load and one of the reason of why your seo is not working.
Fix it: Run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights and Search Console. Fix broken links, compress images, and ensure a clean URL structure. Tools like Screaming Frog and Sitebulb are helpful (and yes, I use them every month for audits).

4. You're Not Building Authority No Backlinks, No EEAT
One major reason SEO doesn’t work: you haven’t earned Google’s trust yet.
The EEAT principle—Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—requires more than just writing blogs. Google wants to see:
Who wrote the content?
Are they qualified?
Are others talking about them?
Fix it:
Add an author bio (yes, yours!) with credentials.
Get listed on directories, forums, and niche communities.
Pitch for guest blogs. One backlink from an industry leader = 100 random ones.
Link out to trusted sources like Moz or Search Engine Journal.
5. You're Not Patient Or Strategic
SEO is a long-term game. You can’t publish a blog today and expect to outrank someone who’s been building content and links for 3 years. Most SEO projects I’ve worked on start seeing meaningful traction after 3–6 months, minimum.
Fix it:
-
Focus on low-competition, high-intent keywords first.
-
Build topical authority slowly start with a content cluster—like this one on SEO Fundamentals.
-
Track monthly. Not daily.
Bonus: You’re Not Updating Old Content
Content doesn’t age like wine it’s more like milk . Update old blogs quarterly. Add new stats. Change screenshots. Improve readability. Google loves freshness and this is the biggest reason of why your seo is not workingInterested in Working with Us?
