Does your website rank as high as you want it to? Can it be easily discovered under keywords that will attract the right kind of customer to your site? With my experience in search engine ranking (SER) and website optimization (SEO) I can help you move your site to the top of the three major search engines, starting with Google! There’s no way to trick a major search engine into ranking your site higher (something people attempt to do every single day!). Instead, the secret is in knowing exactly what to do.

What does "Local Search Engine Ranking" mean?
Local Ranking refers to setting up your SEO (your search engine optimization efforts) with the goal of ranking high among the listings for your local area. The reasoning behind Local Ranking is this: If you are a small business or organization who primarily (or exclusively) serves a certain local or regional geographic area, there's no need for you to try to compete with the entire country for a top search engine listing. For instance, if you are a Veterinarian in Macon, Ga, there's no need for you to compete with Veterinarians from other parts of the country. The national competition for a top ranking on the major search engines is much larger than your local competition and top rankings are much harder to achieve. By knowing how to rank higher in your local area, you'll reap more focused and relevant customers and the benefits that follow.

Can you take my web site to #1 on Google?
I get this question a lot. My answer is always the same: Maybe. One thing I (or anyone else) cannot ethically do is promise you the number one position on Google. Do I have clients that rank number one on Google? Yes, I do. But there are many points of consideration that go into ranking your website and #1 is a very big number in the world of SEO. The truth is, no one can promise you the number one position on Google -- and if they do, you should look for another consultant.

So, what can I promise?
Well, first off, I can tell you from experience that the number one position for a local ranking is often attainable. Second, I'll promise you that if we work together, I will do everything I can to help you reach the top and I KNOW I can greatly improve your ranking status.

Sometimes it takes a website months to get to the top, no matter what SEO actions you take. For search engines like Google, it can come down to a matter of stability. They want to rank sites that have credibility and longevity. In short, they want to know you're gong to be around and that you're not just promoting some fly-by-night site that will be gone in a week.

Local ranking is a powerful thing for small businesses
If you represent a local business, church or organization, my strategies will help you improve your ranking drastically. I'm sure of it. I've seen it time and time again. In addition, I can usually look at a website and spot problems that are holding you back. Maybe the best place for you to start is with a free website evaluation. For a limited time, I'll evaluate 5 web pages (of your choice) for free, as part of my new website launch celebration.
