How do I get on page one of Google for a specific keyword? 

To rank on the first page, you need to have high-quality content that is optimized for relevant keywords. Google looks for websites with consistent keyword usage, not just copy-pasted at random. If your website can't compete with the competition in terms of quality and relevancy, don't waste your time trying to beat them at their own game.

​

My ranking has dropped in recent months. What happened?

Google rankings constantly change, but a big drop in the search engine results page (SERP) can indicate something is wrong with your site. A drop in rankings might be caused by increased competition under specific keywords, Google penalties, a poor mobile user experience, bad backlinks, or outdated or spammy content.

​

I'm ranking well, so why am I not getting business from my site? 

People don't like to spend time on web pages that don't have easy navigation. That's why you should think about the design of your site and ensure visitors know exactly where to go at all times. If your site is complicated, it could be limiting the number of leads you bring in. Potential customers can end up getting stuck, having a hard time finding what they want and ending up leaving your site to go somewhere else.

​

I have many links to my website, but I'm not ranking well. Why is that?

Now here's a big shocker: Google is not exactly obsessed with the sheer number of backlinks your website has. What they do care about is their quality. To gain more authority and appeal to the search engine's algorithms, it's important that you obtain links from authoritative websites in your industry.

​

How do I reach and attract a local audience to my website?

By setting up a Google Business Profile account and building a presence on local listings websites like Yelp and TripAdvisor, you will be presented with your business's location, contact information, and more when users make a geo-based search.

How long does it take to start seeing results with SEO?

We know that you want to see ranking improvements as soon as possible, but there's no set timetable for when that might happen. Some businesses need a few months, but it could take much longer for larger sites with lots of content and backlinks (not to mention duplicate content issues) to rebuild their rankings. The time it takes for your site to recover from a Google penalty is based on several factors, including how much historical data you have, the quality of your content and backlinks, and your presence across social media.
