Hello everyone, I'm running scatterhunters and I'm having difficulties ranking the website in Cy and Gr which are our main GEOs. Any pros here have something to suggest?
When I switch to "GR" and look at your source, I see <html lang="en">.
There's no locale for the GR and DE pages. Even more, the GR page shows a mix of Greek and English, but that's your last problem. Your first issue is that you don't have a proper hreflang="x".
The site looks vibe coded from start to end (that's ok), therefore you can ask the agent to do a hreflang optimization.

Three things I wish I had locked down before touching anything off-page when I started:
1. On-page first, no exceptions. Title, H1, internal linking, schema — if any of these are messy, every link you build later just amplifies a weak signal.
2. Don't open GSC every day. Daily rank fluctuation will make you panic-edit. Weekly review on a fixed day works much better, you see actual trends instead of noise.
3. Manual SERP scraping in incognito beats paid tool data when you're starting out. Free Ahrefs tier + your own eyes is enough for the first 3 months. Pay for a tool only when you outgrow the free limits.
