How SEO Works In More Detail
Google’s main aim is to ensure that searches are relevant to the search phrase. As an example, when searching for purple Nike trainers, you want to see exactly that and not red flip flops!
If you search or “Coach Hire in Blackpool” on Google the results will appear in 0.52 seconds. The number of results will be around 1,290,000 websites (when writing this article). This search isn’t done in real time, Google already knows what results will be displayed for this search and then delivers these to you. Google constantly crawls websites and analyses their quality. The quality of the website is based on many factors including content, performance and popularity. The Google Algorithm considers around 200 different SEO factors for every website.
A number of tools are available to quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current website from a technical point of view. In addition to an experienced SEO Expert it is quickly apparent how strong the content is from an SEO point of view.
Before you start SEO work on your website, or pay someone else to do it, there are a number of things to consider. Firstly, check the strength of the competition when you search the keywords that are important to your business. Secondly, are these phrases going to generate real enquiries and sales. Your SEO plan needs to be better than your competitors otherwise its a waste of time and money. If you cannot beat competitors for the main keyword, you can still plan to take a share. There are many phrases that combined may actually bring in more than the most competitive phrase.
To get your website to page one on the Google Search Results you need to rank higher than your competitors. We do this by working on the SEO factors which are important for your business. The content on the pages of your website needs to be optimised in line with the 200 SEO factors. In addition, the structure of the website and the code for each page also needs to be optimised. In most cases we also build new highly focused and optimised pages to ensure that all relevant Google searches lead to your website. The highest technical standards in website building are also important for SEO success; for example, if most of your potential customers access websites on mobile phones if your website is not optimised to load fast and look good on a mobile then you will be heavily penalised.
Google basically ranks each website into an index which lists websites by relevance and quality for each key word and key phrase. The geographical location of the business and the potential customer is also very important for Local Search.
Think of your website in terms of individual pages rather than the site as a whole. Each page needs to have a clear and strong focus on an aspect of your business and this needs to be reflected in that page pushing a keyword or phrase. The length of the content needs to be sufficient to give a high usage of the keyword but also keep the keyword density in the acceptable percentage. If the keyword density is too high Google may consider the page to be spam and give it a very low rank.
Particularly with the increasing use of smartphones the speed with which your web pages load is really important to Google. Pages can load slow if the page code is poor and if images and not at the optimal resolution. Plug-ins which conflict with each other or which are out of date can also be the cause of poor load speed.
Using Blogs and Infographics with links back to a relevant page on your website is a great way to speed up the process of getting to Page One. Blogs have to be original work, not copied, and they have to be high quality in terms of content.
Both in the page name URL and in the website page code use the relevant keyword in the title and description. Paragraph headers ( H1, H2etc ) should also be rich in the relevant keyword.
