#1 on Google for "no Computer Science degree"
by Pete CodesI saw last month that I was no 1 on Google for "no cs degree" but I wanted to get 1st result for "no computer science degree" as I figure that's what more people search for. I had a look today and now I have that as well!!
I recently did a free SEO scan/report and that showed a couple of minor issues I fixed like a broken link on one page and a couple of the pages like /about and /open not having enough content. So those little tweaks probably helped a bit. I was also missing some alt text on some screenshots which I fixed.
Apart from that I think it's really just a result of putting out a lot of content! I've done 35 or so interviews by now and each one contains the phrase "no cs degree" and increasingly I've added the phrase "no computer science degree". I often have these terms in the meta title which I assume helps as well.

I've some bad news for you, but please don't shoot the messenger 😅
-
You rank no 1 on Google for "no cs degree" because that's your brand name and you have an exact match domain
-
I don't see you on the first page for "no computer science degree"
-
Adding the same keyword to multiple pages will do more harm than good (keyword cannibalization)
Having said that, if you point me to the specific page you are trying to rank, maybe I can give you some suggestions!

Pete, big fan here!
...but still.
Are you sure people search for "no computer science degree"? I'm asking because I don't have a CS degree and I've literally never even wrote this sentence down anywhere, let alone google search.However if you got that from some of your analytics reports, fair enough.

Hey Pete, grats, but Not sure it is a high volume keyword.
Are you acquiring a lot of users with it?
