How to get to the top of Google

Before you start optimising your website the first thing you should work out is what you would like to achieve.  This sounds obvious but so many website owners think of a keyword and that is it, they rush out spending thousands of pounds and then realise the keywords they have chosen don’t necessarily bring them sales.

Getting to the top of a search engine can reap fantastic rewards to the successful business sometimes transforming it from a small player in the market place to one of the top businesses in their industry.

We have listed key factors that will determine how far your website will go up the Google ranks. They are not listed in any particular order and no one area will make or break your SEO campaign.

For example one of the areas covered talks about the age of your domain name.

Google ranks older domain names higher than new ones.  But this alone is not a deal breaker on SEO. It may mean you have to work harder in other areas than some of your competitors but this does not mean you should drop tools and go after another domain as a) This can be very expensive and b) The domain name you have maybe the best option for your business in general.

Below are a few examples of websites that we have optimised in the past as you can see they are all at the top of Google for their chosen keywords, so we must be doing something right.
