Increased Rankings Results

Sometimes small businesses make the mistake of throwing tons of cash at ads. A good company uses various strategies to attract potential customers. However, a great business understands the importance of a sound SEO strategy. 

The primary source of website traffic starts with a simple Google search. Therefore, a marketing strategy infused with SEO can increase quality visitors through better search rankings. 

Your website might not rank on Google for a few reasons. Some of these reasons can include the following: 

• You recently launched your website, and you either need to submit it to Google for indexing, or it needs to build up more authority.
• Your content lacks quality, such as not matching a searcher’s intent. 
• You violated Google’s Webmaster Guidelines, resulting in a penalty. 

Potentially, yes. It would depend on your website’s age (coding has changed over the years), who your website hosting company is, and how much work your current website may need to be fully SEO optimized. At times it may be more cost effective to build a new site for faster SEO results, or simply build on the updates over time for a more budget-friendly option. These are things we could discuss with you before getting started.

This is another SEO FAQ we see a lot, and the answer is: it depends. However, the process generally takes at least a few months. 

This answer depends on many factors! People looking for your services will look mostly at companies ranked in the top three Google Map Listings and on Google’s first page. Many people do not go past page one of Google. How many reviews you have and how good those reviews are play a large factor as well – not only on lead volume but also for Google’s ranking as well. 

Things to Consider: How old is your domain/website, how competitive is your area, where are you ranking currently, etc. Generally speaking, established websites in a moderately competitive area can expect 3-5 months, where new websites and/or businesses in heavy competitive areas can expect 5-9 months.

SEO is something every business owner should be doing all the time. It’s important to keep your website up to date and keep building your SEO foundation with new content, articles, backlinks, etc. Google’s algorithms and preferences do change.

Even if you are #1, it’s important to keep doing SEO to maintain your ranking. When you stop SEO, eventually your competitors will overtake you with their new and updated content. 

Think of SEO as the foundation for your business. The more work you put into it – the more content, articles, links, etc – the stronger that foundation becomes. Google will showcase those business will strong foundations first.
