Local Ranking Factors for 2021
On-Page Factors
On-page SEO is the practice of optimizing individual web pages in order to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. On-page refers to both the content and HTML source code of a page that can be optimized, as opposed to off-page SEO which refers to links and other external signals.
Backlinks
A backlink is a link created when one website links to another. Backlinks are also called “inbound links” or “incoming links.” Backlinks are important to SEO.
Backlinks are incoming links to a webpage. When a webpage links to any other page, it’s called a backlink. In the past, backlinks were the major metric for the ranking of a webpage. A page with a lot of backlinks tended to rank higher on all major search engines, including Google.Feb 28, 2019
Google My Business (GMB)
Can’t find your business? Improve your info.
You may find that your business doesn’t appear for relevant searches in your area. To maximize how often your customers see your business in local search results, complete the following tasks in Google My Business. Providing and updating business information in Google My Business can help your business’s local ranking on Google and enhance your presence in Search and Maps.
Website Content
SEO content is any content created with the goal of attracting search engine traffic.
Citations
A local citation is any online mention of the name, address, and phone number for a local business. Citations can occur on local business directories, on websites and apps, and on social platforms. Citations help Internet users to discover local businesses and can also impact local search engine rankings. Local businesses can actively manage many citations to ensure data accuracy.
On Line Reviews
Reviews (Google Reviews) do help improve search rankings and overall SEO efforts. While there are a lot of factors involved in search rankings, online customer reviews can be a strong signal to search engines that communicates trustworthiness and authority.
What are 5xx Errors?
A 5XX Error is an error generated by the server, not the website. They are visible in any operating system so you may see this type of error message when using a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone. Server errors are often displayed inside the internet browser window just as web pages appear
Information
Google: you should check 5xx errors on your website
5xx errors are based on what your server returned at the time. Maybe there were temporary issues if you don’t see them now. I’d try to find out more from your hoster, to make sure it’s not a regular occurrence\.
(Also, those URLs are a bit excessive – there’s no SEO value in that)

What Should I Do?
Google may start deindexing URLs after two days
Google’s John Mueller said on Twitter that Google may start to deindex URLs after two days if your website is down.
Depending on how it goes down, we can start dropping URLs after a couple of days. This happens on a per-URL basis. Also, when it comes back, often we can catch up quickly again too.
