My site ranks about third for my city for window cleaning but generated next to nowt. It's simple if people are not searching for your keyword then there's no point ranking for it

I tried finding "window  cleaners in leeds" which is an obvious search term but your site did not show up at all that I could see.
Also "window cleaners wakefield" same again not found your site.  No wonder you are not getting any enquires by peeps searching on the tinternet as they can't see your site 

Its wakefield I cover, I don't target leeds.

The site is not the one in my profile.

It's www.thompsonwindowcleaning.co.uk

I've done keyword analysis.. window cleaning wakefield doesn't get much search traffic

Adam if you don't target leeds why is it mentioned on the site structure and content

Lots of content copied from the same site to other sites. Not good.

[Tosh]

Ive just checked some of the content on my site, its remarkable how much is stolen to be used elsewhere. Rather depressing.

Its like everything else Chris it will depend on supply and demand, if you have plenty of demand and little supply then a
website will or should generate a good return, but if your in an area with a few Mick Kent hard canvassing types they will
be grabbing the work while your sitting back at home waiting for it to come to you.

That's the thing Sean, I'm not desperate for work as already full enough for one man. Its more a case of refining what I have and having a steady trickle of gutter work coming in.
I'm more then happy for people to come to me at a relatively steady pace.
I have no interest in employing so don't need work quickly.

I want a break from cleaning the same houses over and over and over, so want the gutter work to be a better earner.
I'm also thinking about offering bespoke one off cleans at top prices,  just to break up the norm.
3 days doing regulars is more then enough for me, if I can somehow get 2 days a week of gutters/ one offs and maybe some con roofs then I would be happy.

I hear what you are saying as cleaning windows day in day out would do my head as is so mind numbingly boring.

you make out as if gutter clearing/render cleaning is a lot more interesting.its not!

Here's a nice one http://www.swindongutterclearing.uk/
Yeeeha!

Do they clear guttering by any chance?

It's probably more to do with the buzz factor afterwards that you tend not to get when just cleaning glass.

How do you do that mate, be interesting to find out

[Tosh]

I just copy and paste it into google. Although you can use a website called copyscape, but thats unreliable in my experience.

Ive just phoned up a company that have nicked a wedge of text from one of my pages. The guy went off on one telling me what their turnover was (what that had to do with it is beyond me) and that they’re also number one with various search terms in google (what the hell that has that got to do with copyright theft is also beyond me). Anyway, then he moved onto stage two, the ‘lets try and talk over and shout me down’ stage

Anyway, I was eventually told to feck-off and that they’d be blocking my phone number, then he put the phone down, loudly and promptly. Ho humm

Its funny (bizarre funny) when people get angry and can’t maintain an element of dignity because theres a disagreement.  I suppose theres other routes by which it can be enforced if talking is out of the equation.

[ObiwanK]

I had copy stolen. I wrote and told them that it was copyright, future use would be charged at £1 per day.

They ignored if. I send them an invoice for £30 after 30 days. They ignored it.

I sent a Thomas Higgins Letter and the copy changed overnight.

[Smurf]

Result!

Did they also pay up the added charges incurred including admin costs etc?

Well I'm based right on the edge of Leeds and wakefield, I'm in the middle. All my window work is in wakefield . So my home page ranks for window cleaning wakefield. The other pages mainly target leeds for gutter cleaning and conservatory cleaning, driveway cleaning and bigger jobs, Reason being is wakefield is not highly searched for these terms whereas leeds has a higher search volume plus is much bigger and more affluent

The only page that shouldn't be there is window cleaner leeds but I added it just because it was easy to.

To be honest offering so many services and being in the middle of two city's had always been a dilema in terms of seo. For the site to rank well it should just focus on one city with the associated google places page and social media links. By targetting both city's I'm reducing it's potential to rank but  if I go with a two separate sites the second one won't have a Google places page or social media linked to it as you can only use one location  and social media back links per website. Leeds is much harder to rank than wakefield btw.

The thing is it ranks top near the top for window cleaning wakefield and it ranks top few for conservatory cleaning leeds so I'm a bit reluctant to separate it.

In short it's a bit of a mess lol. One day when i can afgord it i'll pay for two sites doing properly

[Stoots]

I think I did nick a wedge of text lol. When I built that site a couple of years ago I threw some text on and some images, some of it likely stolen  juat to add some body to see what it looked like with the intention of changing it. But was has happened is I have neglected the site,it's still not finished and there spelling errors and all sorts of errors on it.  It really needs re vamping but I just can't be arsed. Might just pay for one doing they start out with good intentions but once you realise how much work is involved in maintaining  and seo it goes out the window

[Smurf]

Adam as I see your dilemma. If it's any conciliation I no wp website guru either as I'm learning as I go along.   

Can I ask which wp seo plugin are you using?

[Tosh]

Ive just spoken to another company regarding copied text and the guy couldn’t have been nicer.

Asked for a week before its addressed, although he’s going to speak to his web guys today. Pleasure when it goes smoothly. Shame about the spaz this morning

[Smurf]

The get out card is to always blame the web design guys. "Sorry I did not realise and will get the web design guys to sort it asap"...Not my fault honest guv.
