What if say 4 cc's from say Manchester had nearly identical sites and the same key phrases who would top the listings??
At one time I was number 1 for just cc in my area, now I am number 1 in 4 other areas surrounding me and in top 10 for 2 others
and I don't know how I have done it.
Am also getting calls from areas 12 miles away from me and I wish I knew how I did it.

Wheres you site

[Dave Preece]

You need to have you pages names after the type of cleaning and location you are aiming for. So on my site I have carpet cleaning epsom, carpet cleaning weybridge etc.  have a look at anyclean or one of my sites. You need to get more links as well from ' authority sites' like ncca and council sites like www.yourcoucil/localtrademen.org. These types of links are golden and worth the hasel of getting

Some people include a history or discription of the town / area in the content on their pages, this means they can talk about various streets and reference church names or landmarks etc which google will associate with the name of town/area you are targeting.

Also you should deep link to you individual content pages so instead of getting links to your home page get links to your second or third level urls

Google is very much about links and words/phrases unlike yahoo which wants..

[Mike Osbourne]

What took me a while to realise and is a bit of a disappointment LOL

Unless you live in a big city, relying on CC town will yeild very little, no matter whether you are No1 on Google and your website is the business there is only so many people searching per day for that phrase.

Even at county level it can be pants with only 7 searches per day on average for CC Somerset plus the competition is quite stiff at county level.

So basically you need to build up your phrases and they all add up.
