why is it that if i place an add on gumtree it will show on 1st page of google but my website can't be found anywere ???
-
Have you submitted your site for indexing?
Have your webpages been indexed by Google?
Is your site optimised for google?
Does your site have a site map?
Just 4 of many questions I could ask...
What is your web address? I will take a look at it for you.

How much is mark at dp charging for websites now? Or Kev loomes, I bet you could buy a 5 page website for less that £300.
I meen no disrespect but you are not doing yourself any favours by designing your own website.... If monies a bit tight use your credit card.
Google probably does,nt know your webste exists, when did you finish it as you were asking questions about the design a few days ago
-
Google does know it exists (and it's indexed)...

Phil,
Gumtree is a huge authority site (in Google's eyes at least) whilst yours is a tiny newish site with no social activity or backlinks. As far as Google is concerned, under the current alghorithm, Gumtree is far more relevant to the search query than your site.

iv'e been on it for days mike and that's were i'm at now also my credit card is maxed lol but i think for now this will do, then when i pick up i'l invest.
-
Have you got your google places page set up?
-
????????????? don't know how or what it is Mike.

you normally have to wait at least two weeks before google does anything sensible with your rankings

Phil,
Like it or not you have a first page ranking (Gumtree).
Google has given your entry authority via Gumtree. You need to piggy back on this authority whilst it lasts, even if it means fresh ads on a regular basis.
Rule number one = get it into Google any way you can. It does not have to be your actual site.
If this means using Gumtree's authority, so be it. You'll probably find you get pretty much instant rankings doing it this way.
You are welcome to use my Dry Fusion videos from the collection above this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZX-vhqFj2o although most are watermarked some may not be of much use on your site.
ps Just changing the title of the home page to "Carpet Cleaning Fleetwood" or "Carpet Cleaning Fleetwood - Dry in 30 Minutes" should help a lot.
-
Thanks mate do you get much from youtube and should i think of making a video myself ?
Thanks Phil.

Trouble with hanging all your hats on google is that if it shakes a 7 then your new business is gone not all eggs should be put in the same basket.

hi carpet cleaning pro,what kind of cost for your seo services.How many keywords?
-
Thanks Carpet Cleaning pro i would like your help but don't have any funds to spend at the moment how can you help me.
-
all but 1 organic listing for fleetwood carpet cleaners is a directory of some sort.
google can't find any relevant results so sticks anything up, in my very limited knowledge I think it would be possible with a bit of basic SEO get on the first page
is fleetwood carpet cleaners a search term you would think customers would use to find you?
-
Hi Phil
Google can take weeks before you get near the first page,its all about your seo score ,keywords, meta tags etc...Go on to Whois (domain tools website) and tap in your domain name this will give you your score for each section.
My website is a 1&1 website (basic) been listed for about a month now.On first page now.
Also try and get yourself on Google maps this can help your website get read more by google.
Hope this little bit can help you out mate.

Hi Phil
Just been on to domain tool.com.Your SEO score is 86 overall.Your website title is 75.

When the majority of carpet cleaners become experts in SEO you realise it's not where the advantage is anymore. ;D

Get your leaflets out for a starter mate..
You should be getting work with your dry fusion set up.
It would be worth getting a decent site done as it would hopefully bring in extra work for you .

I know you are and the ideas everyone is making are all valid.
My point is major competitive advantage comes from knowing things and applying them to your business that hardly anyone else does.
-
I agree and Phil has an advantage that a lot do not... He has a dry fusion system that he is licenced for, and as such has a unique selling point that a lot of us do not...
Even me who only LM clean... I do not have dry fusion..
So that should be in big letters
people buy features and benefits.
The feature is a unique point.. (customer cares less about this) but how does it benefit the customer..
eg:
"we have the unique dry fusion system...... This means that your carpets are clean, fresh and most importantly DRY before we even leave the house" (provided you give us a cup of coffee at the end...
I am sure that there is only so much SEO that can be applied to websites (what I know about computers and t'internet you could write on a stamp and still have space for my CV)
all the SEO companies must be doing the same thing... same keywords etc... So where do we go from here??
I don't know...
just musing aloud really..
sorry
;D ;D

Being on the 1st page of google for free in my eyes is a big advantage.

another thing that could help but Dry Fusion don't seem interested maybe because i'm not 1 of the big spenders or maybe they want to have the work themselves but when it says find a fusioneer on there website there isn't me in fleetwood i asked them ages ago and they said it's getting updated but never has :(
-
Honestly Phil your on the wrong site/forum for advice on SEO take a look at most of the carpet cleaners websites on here all they have done is buy a domain name containing the town/city they want to target eg. www.carpetcleaningmanchester.com
which is the quickest way of getting ranked highly on Google.
It also means that you will need multiple domains for each town you want to target. Which can be a real pain to manage especially if you want to keep your website updated with fresh content. I did exactly that when i first started but now i just concentrate on my main website which is my actual company's name. It's now ranked highly for every town and city i have targeted from just the one website which is so much easier to manage.
It' harder to do to start off with. But in the long run it will save you loads of time and hopefully a bit of Money.

Hear, hear. Well said. Most CC sites rank due to lack of competition

To me that means failure. If you are number 1 you are still fourth on the list thanks to adwords revisions and the size of the box drops most page 1 results below the fold.
We've had a good run with SEO for 3-4 years but it's old hat now.

Yep.
Up until recently I had a sixteen item list for just on page SEO before I did anything else.
If I used it now I'd get pasted by the latest alghorithm.
I don't see large comparison sites worrying about SEO. They just pump money into real world advertising. They are effectively, Google proof.
Just because you have a website, it does not mean you have to worry about promoting it exclusively on line. Why be totally dependent on the whim of a newly graduated maths genius?
