How do you come up on the first page of Google organic rankings?
by Tom Malesic
I get this question everyday. Years ago, it was really easy to get your business to come up on the first page of Google.
10 years ago, all we needed to do was create lots of pages loaded with the keywords that you wanted to place on.
6 years ago, all we needed to do was create lots of pages loaded with the keywords that you wanted to place on. We would then show Google our page and show the web visitor your website.
As the internet grew it got harder and harder to get your business top placement. Your keyword competition could have gone from 150,000 to 3,000,000 over a 5 year period of time. It wasn't only the competition that made it hard, Google came onto the scene in a big way with their algorithm involving a new concept called PageRank.
What is PageRank?
This is Google's way of determining how important your website is. Here's the concept. If lots of websites link to your website, you must be important. If important websites link to your website you must be Really Important!
Over the last 3 years, we have tried many strategies to get businesses top placement on competitive keywords. We have even outsourced this service to another vendor. I know this goes against my control freak nature. It also was a very expensive service to promote.
It has taken some time, but we have now created a cost effective way to get you the top placement you are looking for.
How do we do it?
It's complicated (no kidding) but here is the simple version.
We help select the keywords that make the fit to your business.
We evaluate your site against your competition for the keywords.
We make sure you have enough content on your site for the selected keywords.
We optimize your site for the selected keywords.
We build back links to your site. It is all about building back links to your site so that Google knows you're important. We start the first month by establishing 30 new high page ranked sites as back links to your site. Then we take these back links and create an RSS feed.
We then send the RSS to high page ranked blogs. This drastically magnifies the power of the back links. We repeat this every month. We also do a similar trick with news articles from your site.
We give you a monthly report to show you where you place per keyword.
How long does it take?
For many of you, the keywords that you want to place on have local component to them. Here are some examples:
Security Systems PA - our client Trinitysecurity.net is ranked #4 (36,100,000 competitors)
Web Development PA - ezsolution.com is ranked # 2 (40,300,000 competitors)
Computer Networking Lancaster - ezsolution.com is ranked #1 (476,000 competitors)
Corn Maze PA - our client cherrycrestfarm.com is ranked #1 (134,000 competitors)
You get the idea! Put a town name or state with the keyword to make it localized. These words take less time to get. We have seen placement in a month or less.
Words that are not localized may take longer. Here are some examples:
skoal - our client genuinetobacco.com is #2 (70,000 competitors)
contract packaging - our client schafco.com is #7 (79,800,000 competitors)
These words can take longer, around 1-3 months.
What does it cost?
Localized 10 keywords: $500 setup and $199/month
National 10 keywords: $1995 setup and $499/month
We have programs for more keywords as well. Please contact me to discuss how we can get your business top placement.
