Google and how to rank

Briefly he explains here how Google works and what you need to do to help your client achieve online success.

Google uses three main factors in its algorithm, two of which work to push your site up in the Search Engine Results (known as SERPS) and one which pushes your site down.

- Text

At its core Google is a text analysis system designed to sort results into relevency to the users query, having the text you are looking for on a page its one of the main ways it does that, together with the Title tag which appears in the browser tab when you view a page. Google is now very good at understanding language and what the meaning and context of related words are. To perform well a web page needs to be about the phrase you are targetting, well written, focussed and not stuffed with keywords but not too light on keyword density either so it really is about the phrase you wish that page to appear for.

- Links

A huge part of the Google Algorithm is about the quality of links that point to a website, its not about numbers, but that is a factor, having diverse links from relevent, reputable and authoritive websites and for those to be built on a regular basis is what its about. A successful Ecommerce store is likely to spend £20K-£40K monthly on link building including outreaching to high quality publications including national and international news brands.

- User Metrics

The factor that can push your site down is if your user metrics don’t meet Google’s expectations and it has a variety of ways to measure these, which include Bounce Rate, Click through Rates, Time on page and the speed of a site meaured in series of technical ways that determine how fast a page loads on desktop and mobile devices (Google has a separate index for those). If your site doesn’t make the grade it gets pushed down to a lower page which then means it doesn’t receive traffic. Over the years the standard and quality expectations have risen and that is only going to continue so you need to focus on ensuring every page on your website is the best you can make it. Do you need it? If not delete it? Can it be improved? If if can make it better. That way your overall quality score will continue to rise relative to your competitors.
