How Does Google Work? | Online Marketing Essential Services Inc.

When we go online and type a search from something into Google’s homepage, we are not actually searching the web itself; but rather Google’s index of the web. Google maintains a large library of available website pages so we are actually searching their indexed library.

Once Google gets to the thousands of pages that contained the key words asked for, they then start to ask several- more than 200- questions. Such as;

  • How many times do the key words appear on this page?
  • Do they appear in the title? In the URL? Adjacent to these?
  • Does the page include synonyms for the key words?
  • Is it a reputable web site, or from a spamming site?
  • What is the page rank on this site?
  • What is the text of the inbound links
  • How are the Social Media site rating this page 

 Page rank is something uniquely Google. It helps the search engines determine relevancy, and how many outside pages point to it, and how important these links are.  All this happens in about 1.2 seconds. Pretty amazing, and constantly changing.  The lastest stats we have show Google leads the way in search engines having 68% of the market. They are not so concerned with filling the page with paid advertising, but rather giving surfers a place to go get what they need- and fast.

If your company is ready to invest in online marketing, please give our  Minneapolis MN SEO Company a call.

We will be able to get your name in front of as many people as possible, and monitor your standing so that you will not have to wonder if you are having any hits or not. Unless you are experiencing a growth in business, we are not doing our job, and we are as committed to that as Google, Bing and Yahoo is to bringing you the World Wide Web. 651-342-4000.

Where to Put Keywords on a Web Page? | Minneapolis MN SEO Firm

Creating a website page with content is one thing, but getting it in front of everyone is another. Titles and keywords are not just little things that are nice to have, they are an essential ingredient that will make your pages show up on the first page in search engines.

Many people hear about keywords, and sprinkle them throughout the web site, but this is not enough to get you page rank. Our Minneapolis Website Developers  know that it is not just the words themselves, but where they are placed and how they are linked across your site. This will attract the spiders that crawl across the web, and pull your site to Google’s first page. When choosing and placing  keywords, you have to think like a computer; not like a person.

For instance- If you have a website about cars, you may want to go through your site and replace the word “they”, with your actual keyword “cars”, or one of its synonyms. This will tell the spiders what your website is about when they crawl and index your pages. On the other hand, it you are writing about “1920’s Model T’s still on the road”, you may not want to include that whole phrase every time it comes up, since it would not read well and probably chase the surfer away. So putting together a clean site that is optimized for both the reader and the search engines takes some practice.

While many people try to do these things for themselves, once they or their staff get into it, they find that it is way more time consuming than they anticipated, and they discover that really don’t want to spend thier resourses in this manner. This is why many companies decide to hire a professional SEO development company to get their site front and center.  Essential Services has the knowledge and skill to get your site looking good, and Google compliant. 

Depending on what you want to achieve, our expert s will be able to custom design a plan for you and your needs, instead of just giving you a list and a price chart, if only developing business was that easy. We take the time to get to know you, and what your goals are, so that we can give you what you need. Give us a call to find out more- 651-342-4000.
