Im not sure if someone can help.

Ive always kept ontop of keeping my website close to the top of google search but for reason its vanished over the weekend.

Im only a small business and its a wix website (i know not ideal) Im still showing on google business but below business pages i was always
top of the searches.

Company/Website - www.threefish.co.uk

I always aimed for Signs Stafford or Stafford Signs to be the key words in the site to find on google. Over the weekend its vanished
when typing in Stafford Signs 3-4 pages i still cant see it.

Any help would be great.

You’re about page 4 for me on mobile using Stafford signs.

Also, you have the same heading twice on your site?

Sorry my mobile website is terrible, and is all over the shop.

Wix shrinks all of the pictures and moves them around when you make a mobile version.

Given there is a company in the search called "Stafford Signs", and another called "Staffordshire Signs", you might have a bit of a task on your hands...

I've given your link a click-through from the 'places' link on Google - sorry, I'm not in the market for a sign right now!

Totally off topic, but I couldn't help noticing when clicking on your website...

You only get one chance to make a good first impression, so its essential your business makes a great one!
Yes, I know, pedantic, grammar-nazi, etc, etc, but if I was in the market for signage, that would worry me about proof-reading, etc.

There is some technical SEO issues going that are not going be helping you.

You have some URLs indexed in Google that are duplicates of your homepage as a started https://www.threefish.co.uk/#!blog/hro4q/Page/0

And then you have a bunch of URLs like these indexed by Google also...
https://www.threefish.co.uk/fullscreen-page/comp-j...

I think the site needs a bit of a spring clean from an SEO perspective!

If we're critiquing then
'We are also happy to undertake any part of the process individuall for client or trade.'

it doesn't make sense, it has a typo in and presumes that a client cannot be trade.

It actually looks like a translation or something - would scare me off.

This might also be to blame, although I found the site to be indexed so it's a ranking issue here I presume then

4th entry down on page 5 for me.

Worth speaking to someone local and putting some investment into it imho.

I put the guy who did our shop signage/car signwriting in touch with our web guy as there's the opportunity for them to pass business. So you never know what else might come out of a chat with a decent web designer.

how much business do you get from the interweb?

If its a good proportion of your income - get your website sorted by someone who knows what they are doing - if its not - DIY with a decent provider - its not difficult dude/dudett

Thanks for the replies. I will sort the spelling mistakes...

Im just confused that over 2-3 days the site can go from being top for a good couple of years to page 5.

Strange as even when i do find it through google, it doesnt show the direct link to threefish.co.uk,
its shown linked to a blog page.

Strange, it looks like its back to normal.

Does 'Signs Stafford' search work for the first page of google for people now?

3rd down for me so not bad. The ones above use the keywords in the website name.

sites can move around in the SERPS frequently.

Have you checked webmaster tools / search console etc for errors?
