Yeah. Google also does not care about speed either. My site loads miles faster than my competitors.

I run a small business and we ranked well for local keyword searches (usually in the top 3 spots). About 6 months ago we dropped to 5-6th and since then i have been trying to regain the top slots. I have ran our website and our competitors through about 10 free seo checking sites and we get high scores compared to their low scores (it looks like they have not even bothered to do onsite SEO). I have also checked their domain authority and the number of links they have and we are about the same, slightly worse or we are better. I did a speed test and again we are much faster both desktop and mobile. I have also checked if we have been blacklisted and it does not appear so. I even looked at keyword density and we are about the same as our competitors. However for our longer tailed keywords we get the top slot for just about all the other services we offer. Any suggestions on anything else i can check are welcome. We are small compared to our competitors and rely on on the website for referrals which have dipped.
