GOOGLE, GOOGLE, GOOGLE Don't Google yourself and expect to be at the top all the time. This sounds counter-intuitive, but if Google is clever enough to know where you're going and what you're doing. Googling where your business is in search results on a daily basis is one way to ensure it doesn't show up for you at all, as Google can track (to a limited degree) a person’s movements across its engine/apps and curates search results accordingly.
CALL US Beyond paying for top position in Google Adwords search results, there is no 100% successful method for placing at the top organically. Maybe 90% successful but not 100%. Laying the foundation by building a website to comply with Google policies is, in all honesty, the best place to start. Don't waste any more money on phoney SEO scams, or Web Developers/Graphic Designers who can build aesthetically-pleasing websites, but don’t know anything about getting found on Google. You all get those annoying emails and we do too. If you want to get found in the noise, talk to us - call us first!

GOING ROUND THE TWIST Most business owners will do a quick search on Google 'just to see how they are going'. Then that's it, they DON'T click on the result. If they are advertising with Google Adwords even more so. Continually Googling yourself will drive you around the bend – the more you DON'T click on your search results, the more the chances of your website not appearing for you. Mobile devices only have so much real estate available on the screen. After a while the search engine thinks you are not interested in this set of search results (because you don't click on them) and presents another set to see if they interest you. If you need to know how your site is faring on a regular basis in search results, contact us – we have access to Google and other third-party services which track and benchmark results for you.
