RGM Concrete runs a concrete contracting business in Rockwood, TN — driveways, flatwork, and repair. This SEO audit found 62+ pages returning 404, a graveyard of dead URLs Google is still actively crawling while the live site earns zero organic traffic. The free Quick Audit is at the bottom.

404 pages Google is still crawling — wasted budget
91
live referring domains — equity that isn’t ranking
0
organic keywords — the site is invisible in search
Clear The 404 Graveyard
More than 62 /concrete-services/[city]/ pages return 404, and Google is actively crawling them. Every crawl spent on a dead URL is a crawl not spent on a live service page. With only ~22 real pages on the site, that is a lopsided waste of attention.
These dead URLs are the leftover footprint of a previous geo content-mill strategy. Map each one to its closest living page with a 301, or return a clean 410 so Google stops crawling them.
RUN THIS YOURSELF
In Search Console, open the Pages report and expand “Not found (404).” If the count runs into dozens of /city/ URLs, you have a graveyard. Export the list and 301 each one to the nearest live service page.
Take Down The White-Label Template Page
A /basic-template-homepage/ URL is publicly accessible and exposes the site as a white-label “Concrete Sites” template. That page must be removed or noindexed immediately — it advertises that the site is one of many identical builds.
There is also a misspelled /concreate-sidewalk/ URL that can never rank for “concrete sidewalk,” plus 6+ WordPress feed URLs publicly indexed and diluting crawl budget. These are quick, mechanical fixes.
Recover The Lost Link Equity
The domain has earned 249 referring domains over time but only 91 are still live — 158 have been lost. Combined with a healthy 103 live backlinks, the external authority exists; it simply is not translating into a single ranking because the on-site signals are broken.
| Metric | Observed | Healthy local |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Rating | 1.3 | 20–40 |
| Organic keywords | 0 | 200+ |
| Organic traffic / mo | 0 | 100–500 |
| Live referring domains | 91 | 30–100 |
| Live backlinks | 103 | 50–200 |
| 404 pages crawled | 62+ | 0 |
RUN THIS YOURSELF
In Ahrefs or any backlink tool, compare all-time versus live referring domains. A big gap — here 249 down to 91 — means lost links. Check which dead pages those links point at and 301 them so the equity is recaptured.
Geo-Target The Homepage For Rockwood
The homepage title is the generic “Concrete Contractor | RGM Concrete” with no city. Adding “Rockwood, TN” to the title and H1, confirming NAP in the footer, and adding LocalBusiness schema and an owner name makes the homepage eligible for the local pack. The reasoning is in our EEAT guide and this strategy piece.
