1 First issues

  • Technical errors on the website.
  • The website does not adhere to the standards for YMYL site topics.
  • In Western markets, clients like companies with a solid reputation and considerable expertise in the field, so they are cautious of newcomers to the market even if they provide better working conditions.
  • Lack of differentiation between commercial and informative queries. This is due to the fact that in the process of choosing a service, users may immerse themselves in a related topic and its complexities in order to examine both the service itself and the competency of the company providing this service in the greatest detail. Therefore, in the output can be up to 80% of informational articles, even for commercial queries.
