Optimize your website pages for Google search
A well designed, easy to navigate website is important, but if the site is not indexed and in turn, ranked by the search engines, all of the good design work will have been in vain.
Obviously everyone wants to appear at the top of Google search results, but achieving a page one ranking is no easy feat. Fortunately, Bold Horizon is able to help you to improve your rankings and get closer to that first page result.
Given that there are only ten websites that appear on page one of any Google search, what is their secret? Search Engine Optimization (also known as SEO) is one of the key tools that is used to improve the Google ranking of a site.
SEO is the practice of making your website more visible to the search engines and helping it to appear higher in Google searches - it is the ultimate 'pull' marketing channel.
There are many contributing and quite complex factors that determine a website's ranking in the search engines. Optimising your website for Google and other major search engines is complex and best left to professional web marketing firms (like Bold Horizon of course!).
Before your site can appear in keyword search results, it must be indexed correctly by Google. Every page must meet the guidelines and recommended practices laid down by Google for inclusion in it's database. Without effective web page optimisation, Google will not present your page when a matching keyword search is made.
Briefly, these are the key elements of our web page optimization programme:
- Conducting keyword research and analysis
- Crafting URL page names
- Developing search engine friendly Meta tags
- Attention to correct keyword density and placement
- Adding keyword related 'Alt tags' to images
- HTML coding that is search engine compliant
In addition to these web page optimization techniques, building a strong network of inbound links from other sites is an important component in helping to propel your site into the search results. Don't be tempted to use the link building offers touted on the net. These are usually link directories which are generally not well regarded by Google.
Most of the search engines change their indexing algorithms quite frequently, so it's important that you work with an agency that is able to advise on ethical best practice required to keep your site in the search results. Bold Horizon has been optimizing websites since 2004 and has a proven track record in this field.
By implementing website and search engine optimization (SEO) on your site, you will maximise your investment and generate better commercial results.
