This is one for the web experts. Is there any basic reason why a Drupal based reactive web site would not perform well with Google, or is it just down to the individual SEO on the site?

While not a web expert I have similar issues with my Wix site. I've spent an age doing the content and running it through SEO testers etc but still cant get a reasonable organic search position.
Using Drupal as your CMS of choice shouldn't make any difference, as long as the templates / themes / modules etc. are setup correctly and the appropriate page titles, descriptions, heading tags etc. are all present and correct.
Most Wordpress sites use the Yoast SEO plugin, I imagine there's something similar for Drupal (quick Google: http://www.creativebloq.com/20-best-...es-seo-6133890).
Wix is different. Historically dreadful for SEO, but apparently getting better. I personally wouldn't recommend them, though. Another quick Google: http://moz.com/community/q/wix-is-it-any-good-for-seo
I also wouldn't recommend having background music that plays when the page loads either. Some people really hate that
From a quick look here http://www.attackthedancefloor.co.uk...services/c2387 it seems like there might be too much keyword repetition for Google's liking. I won't claim I'm an SEO guru but I've helped a couple of sites get good rankings in recent times. Most SEO 'how to' texts state that Google is more likely to rank a site lower when they do this kind of thing. E.g. "Wedding disco, engagement disco, fun disco, professional disco, disco disco, disco disco disco"...Quote:

If your keywords don't reflect enough of the content on the page, this is also bad for search engine rankings - as can having tags too much alike on different pages. It's a pain in the backside for an online shop I help maintain - but a lot of well known sites don't seem to have any trouble despite doing this. Must have something to do with being linked to by loads of other sites - oh and don't be tempted to go mad & try to buy backlinks.. they're hip to that now.
