How to Get Google to Put You at the Top…
The following question is by far the most common question I am asked on a daily basis:
“How do we get our company website to the top of Google?”
People understand the value of being at the top. They know that it means free advertising. They know they should be there..
So how do you do it?
It comes down to one simple concept: Relevancy.
Let me explain…
Right now, believe it or not the Internet is still very young. In the grand scheme of things we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of what is possible online.
As the Internet grows up, so will search engines like Google.
And as they grow up, they will get smarter.
But RIGHT NOW – you need to hold Google’s hand sometimes because it can’t always find you.
Lets say you are a Carpet Cleaner. And a potential customer in your city types ‘Carpet Cleaner’ into Google. But your website is nowhere to be seen.
That is because Google doesn’t know that you do carpet cleaning…
How do let Google know?
You need to ensure that on your website, your content including the text talks about your service and uses the keywords ‘carpet cleaning’. The next time Google inspects your website to see what each page is about… they will see the words ‘carpet cleaning’ and determine that is what your website is about.
There is more to keywords than just that – you must place the keywords in the correct locations such as your title tags, descriptions, meta tags, headers, footers etc. But the main thing is you mention your particular service.
The second thing you need to do in order to get Google to notice you more is get inbound links. What this means is that if you have a business associate with a website of their own – and they link to your site from theirs – Google will see that link. The more links your website has pointing to it – the better because Google sees your site as important and therefore moves your website up the rankings to the top of the page.
Now again, there is much more to getting links than what I have discussed here – but that is how I can explain it simply.
