Reaching the top of Google – Mount Google that is!

We had a crazy idea. Fed up of listening to upset clients telling us how they had commissioned ‘so called’ SEO companies who promised to get them to the top of Google and failed we decided upon a little adventure. Our idea was to reach the top of Mount Google for some of the most competitive keywords/phrases out there. Could we do it? Read below to find out!

There are a lot of companies out there who like to lead people to believe that reaching the top of Google is a simple and easy process....it's a lie. It is a long and drawn out process but one that is full of rewards and benefits once you have achieved it. We targeted the 2 most competitive phrases in our industry which are "Web Agency" and "Web Design London". Both of them yield over 50 million matching pages results when searched for.

How much does it cost?

Organic SEO is not a cheap option when it is done properly. However, the increase in traffic and leads is unbelievable. Our business relies purely on word of mouth and lead generated through Google. We do no other outbound marketing, no adverts on the radio or in the press, yet we still have countless enquiries every single day. This is down to us being established and leads coming direct from organic search results from Google.

There are many techniques involved with organic SEO and I will not go into them all right now – that’s for another blog article. However, without doubt the most important ingredient is quality, relevant back links from third party sites.

Other important elements are a combination of good page titles, relevant text, compliant well structured code and online self promotion.

One online promotion was our online video which was well received and publicised, click here to view the video.

Thousands of companies will promise the earth and deliver nothing; your spam inbox is probably full of them!! The good companies out there don't really shout about it much, they just do it. That’s what we wanted to do.

The Results?

We decided it was time to demonstrate what could be achieved with a well thought out strategy and a lot of hard work. We started our climb in January of last year, for the first 3 months not much happened and we didn't climb up very high but the more we persevered, the higher we got. We had a few stumbles along the way, as others were noticing our presence and tried to fight us off but by the time June had come we at the top. We had made it!

Search for ‘Web Design London’ and ‘Web Agency’ at www.google.com and see who comes out on top.

Enquiries – we probably get on average three to six qualified enquiries a day from Google, along with a barrage of time wasters!
