Website local keyword search help

Hello,

Any advice to get higher up or appear on local key word searches like gardener chesterfield, garden maintenance chesterfield, landscaping chesterfield and also different areas would be good to. i've put a lot of effort into my website so it isn't bland and hopefully looks good to google when its indexed.

  • You seem to have most bases covered for keyword searches etc, it may take a little while to start showing up on google though.

    Add the site to google webmaster tools (search for it) then you can submit it to google and check on the keywords used by visitors etc. You need to be able to upload a small file from google to your webspace to prove you own it though.

    • great advice graham didn't realise webmaster tools was that good. so if my keyword search is low do i just add more that keyword to my website

      • Google supply a lot of info on how to be found webmaster help but I think you probably have enough keywords. Remember to keep it user friendly though, if you have too many keywords it can become a bit much for the reader. The title of the page is a good place to have the keywords, but you have that already. Also name keywords in you image names like: recent-hedge-job-chesterfield.jpg, and try and get links to your site from elsewhere.

        It's all just a process of being active on the web more than anything. Get your info out there :)

        Oh and if I see you around Sheffield I'll give you a wave .o/

    Are sites with large number of backlinks seen positively or negatively by Google in relation to ranking ?

    • Well, as far as I'm aware, google's search algorithm has got quite intelligent these days, and it's more about quality links than quantity. So a massive amount of back links without content will be probably seen negatively, but things such as blog posts, and youtube videos giving helpful advice (servicing a stihl fs90 type thing) are a winner. Also communities like this are good, so make sure your web address in on your profile.

      So definitely quality over quantity.

    I've just been asked why links from LJN are nofollow.

    Whilst a link without a nofollow link will benefit a business website's ranking, Page Rank itself is not what it was some 5 years or more ago.

    Times have changed in SEO. Search engines are looking for genuine valuable content. If you create content on a site like LJN, that is held in high regard by search engines because of its massive catalogue of content, then content you write here stands a very good chance of being picked up, as long as you spend time on keywords and phrases that relate to your business.

    There is a misconception, however, that nofollow links are not valuable. Have a read of this - The Hidden Power of Nofollow Links
