Why Most Indianapolis SEO Fails
Underestimating Competition
Indianapolis has established competitors with DR 40-50+ domains. You need 25-40 quality links minimum, not 5-10.
Cheap Link Packages
Fiverr links and PBNs get penalized fast in competitive markets. Indianapolis requires vetted, high-DR publisher placements.
No Neighborhood Targeting
Broad "Indianapolis SEO" targeting without neighborhood-level pages. Missing Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, Meridian-Kessler micro-markets.
Wrong Metrics
Chasing traffic instead of revenue. Indianapolis lead values are high — focus on keywords that convert to $500+ leads, not vanity traffic.
The fix: Deploy infrastructure that matches the competition level.
