You can easily rank on Google
Google is a bit of a funny beast.
In the mid 2000’s I started a business and spent $1500 on a website. The business was not an e-commerce business and the website developer was not an SEO specialist.
Our first business enjoyed being on the first page of Google, in the top 5 listings for 2 years!
The developer had advised me to hire an SEO specialist if I wanted to be near the first page of Google…even with the limited SEO work we were able to place on the first page for that long!
Fast forward to today, I’m in my 4th business and…Google has changed its rulebook – a lot!
Google wants every business that they rank, to have authority in it’s industry of competency.
What does that mean?!
There are many different aspects that Google looks at, but one thing is for sure…all “Authoritative sites” Facebook, Amazon, news media etc all get their direction and rankings from Google authoritative rankings.
75% + of all web searches are on google!
POINT
Google is ultimately concerned with what their customers are concerned with = they do have the largest pool of data to mine when it comes to what people are searching for…
People are interested in finding exactly what they are looking for quickly, and in the closest proximity to where they are looking for it.
Google has 3 search platforms…which work hand in hand. You may not realise, but Youtube and Google maps are also truly powerful searching tools. Google maps has become one of the most used tools for finding just about any product or service in and around any locality.
POINT 2
YouTube which is all about videos, picture slideshows and training. These three elements are highly regarded from a authoritative stand point as they support a company’s prominence as the authority on a subject. With the way tagging works from a branding perspective, the right video or picture tagged correctly and linked back from a highly ranked site gives a business a lot more credibility with Google than a white paper from the leading mind in an industry that doesn’t have a broad Web presence and strong content offering.
POINT 3
Blogs and cross linking from popular authoritative sites is another way Google looks at the authority of a business. If you can get a link back to your company site from a authoritative figure from a social media site or news media story… This gives your site more authority in the rankings of Google.
