Best form of advertising? You doing a good job.  Other then that - its a bit of this and a bit of that. Unfortunately life is not that easy that you can just pick one.

J&S
So there 10 others around you - there is one carpet cleaner who seems like he has 10 websites  all for the Warrington area. You just got to compete for the space.  You can have the nicest web site, but if it is not on page 1 of google (and near the top, then you struggle-but thats the same with directories or adverts - position is everything).

Goron doing my next one - just getting the text ready now.

first page on google depends on the links etc, our main site comes up on first page of google for 90% of the searches. Our carpet cleaning, well lets put it that way i have not put enough effort into it yet, for it to be on firts page of google. I do my websites my self, and like john just pay monthly, but saying that many people are not able to design leaflets and websites them self as they may not have time knowledge and etc etc so 199 is not a bad price, but my only concern is that you get almost identical site to everyone else.

P.S John you dont seem to want other people to see your site, as you have been asked to show your site many times, but you never posted a link.

Sometimes I can't weigh this Google thing up and think it's a bit hit and miss
Example - I type in carpet cleaner wherever why then does it throw up a
window cleaning company or a dry cleaners at number 1?
I asked for a carpet cleaner why give me a window cleaner?

this is because it picks up cleaner, its to do with alot of factors which google are trying to address, however saying this goodle is only comapny thats managed to get the most accurate results so far our of all search engines and thats why people use them, i think in most cases they claim that they results are 70% matching what the person is asked for, then once again it depence on the area and information they have on the server which is relevant to the area.

plus they always change ways of how they rand websites etc. so you not going to show us your website?

This is a Vista Print site in West Yorkshire.

http://www.jandsccs.co.uk

This could be Johns site.

But its not comming up if your search for:

Carpet cleaning West Yorkshire.

But does come up if you type in: J AND S Carpet cleaning. But Who would search for an exact name.

I am all for building your own website. But you do have to know a little more that just use a template and a few key words and a control panel.

I prefer full FTP access.

We build our own. Get lots of work from it. But the actual design I have could do with being better. But I dont have the time at present.

John,

If this is your site I can help you free of charge matey. To get it appear on Google. I know whats wrong.

That's the one.
Any help, especially free, would be nice.
You want my e mail or you just going to fill in contact form on website to get in touch?
Much appreciated by the way.
By the way when you type in carpet cleaning and certain areas in West Yorks I come up top 5
and number 1 in 3 areas.
When you type in "carpet cleaning west yorks" I pop up first underneath the map.
Would many people type in carpet cleaning west yorks as opposed to stipulating a certain area.

If you look at the areas I cover they're all no more than a 30 minute drive.
Also I quote mostly over the phone.
Do you quote over phone for general cleaning or is that not feasible.

John

[Pristine Clean]

John,

Ive sent you and email with details matey.

There's something wrong because I use this free tool from time to time which helps with checking websites and it can't find yours http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/
I did notice you've also got something like 48 keywords which is at least 24 too many and google will give you negative 'points' for that.

[JandS]

Wasn't aware there was a limit on keywords.
Google makes me laugh sometimes anyway.
Sometimes type in carpet cleaner say Leeds
and at number 1 is??      A window cleaner.
Why does a window cleaner come up at all when
you've specifically typed in carpet cleaner.
Bit of a joke sometimes.

I typed in carpet cleaning Dronfield which is a town between Sheffield and Chesterfield and my mate Colin Bright from Blackpool came up No1.

I think Google has put us all in a bag and shakes us up and throws a random out, image if all your business was internet based in one area or key word.

I think Google is picking up on the links Shaun.

I just tried that and I can't see it.
Top is honestcarpetcare and then yourself, so i believe it can also be different results depending on what operating system you have. I get different results for carpet cleaning basingstoke with this laptop compared to our main pc in a different room.

for general cleaning yes mostly over the phone, depends who the client is. Although we do go to see the property once all the paper work is done.
