Enabling Your Website To Be Found

Is My Website Getting Good Search Engine Results

Two Simple Tests to Verify Your Situation 

If the search engine results of the (major) search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) can’t find your website, what was the purpose in spending all that money and effort? 
Certainly people can find your company by name in an Internet search. You need more than that! If that is the only way your company can be found towards the top of the search engine results, your website is only functioning as an expensive electronic telephone book.
For your business to prosper people must be able to find your company website for your location, products and services — and most of all — you must stand out from your competition in the Internet search engine results!

Organic Search Engine Results vs. Paid Ads

organic search engine results vs. paid ads

The typical search engine results page (SERPs) only displays 10 organic website results (excerpts) along with paid placements of advertisement relative to the search query.

In the illustration, the results in the blue box are the organic search results; the results in the red boxes are paid advertisements. Click image for a larger view.

A study about Google by Slingshot SEO show that 18% of organic clicks go to the #1 position, 10% of organic clicks go to the #2 position, and 7% of organic clicks go to the #3 position.

The same study on Bing shows that 9.7% of organic clicks go to #1; 5.5% of organic clicks go to #2; and 2.7% of organic clicks go to #3.

What if over time you could come to occupy 2, 3, or more of those coveted first-page slots? You would experience more website traffic! And more new customers!

YES! — It is possible to dominate the search engine result pages and crowd-out some of your competition to the second and third pages of internet search result pages. Or even deeper by having multiple 1st page results for your website. Contact us today to learn more without obligation.

What makes your website standout and rank high in the search result pages (SERPs) has little to do with creatively designed, strong website coding skills, or the marketers descriptive sentences about your product or service.  The key to being found and dynamically elevated above your competition in the SERPs is search engine optimization or SEO. Do you know the criteria the search engines are reviewing to choose your website to be on the first or second page of the SERPs?  Most website designers, website developers and product marketers don’t either — even when they say that they do!  As indicated above, search results are key to getting traffic to your website — that is why you need to engage an experienced SEO focused organization that also has the maturity to understand your business as well as create a website that represents your company well.
