Hey I am new to this forum, however I wanted to figure out how is it exactly that you get on the first page of google and how is it that you stay there? I had a company telling me that in 1-3 months I could expect to see my site ranked among the top sites within my niche. I would like to jump on board with an SEO company that has been experiencing success. Any suggestions?
It's not that simple. No SEO business can guarantee you a first page listing in SERPS in google. However building a steady stream of back links toy your website from sites ina similar niche to your own can be useful, as can creating high quality content for your website.
Getting on top 1 it is a possibility if you come with something new that your competitor doesn't have and if you offer better products prices and of course building quality backlinks and creating unique content. But there is no guarantee that you will remain on that position for the rest of your life.
Hi, getting 1st page is not a fast task and depends of your niche, competitors, your (or your seo company) seo knowledge and skills. If your company says that they need 1-3 months probably they really need 1-3 months to get you on 1st page. Usually it takes months to reach desired positions and most important to stay there.
It really depends on the niche you are in.. And what keywords you are targeting. If you're keyword is 'blue ceiling widget dealers in Emporia Kansas', I can virtually guarantee you a top ranking very quickly that will stick. If you are going after payday loans.. not so much. Everything else is a big gray area.
I agree with lightlysalted. No SEO business can guarantee your site will get to page 1 and any company that tells you different is full of BS. The search engines themselves control what appears on page 1 and no one else.
Everybody seems to neglect the power of longtailed keywords. They make up like 90% of the searches online yet we are all still fixated on landing on page 1 for keywords that everyone is competing for... There's a LOT of traffic to be generated by targeting those keywords with less competition.
[TABLE="width: 249"] [TR] [TD="width: 249"]Exactly if you want to ranked your page then your keyword play a vital role in it, you have to chose those keywords which have high search and low competition.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
If your website's keywords are less competitive which are usually 3 or 4 tail keywords or they are very targeted to a local area or something like then you can expect results in 3 months otherwise its very hard to get them among top 10 within 3 months.
I know of an SEO company that does ganrautee results in 3 months or they work for free till you get to the top spot. However it depends on your keywords and what your competition has.
I have not tried any SEO service but have only done my own link building. I have found my pages in 1st page in several searches. I have always been kinda afraid to get my site banned after doing so much of my own work. Have you tried to build some manual backlinks? it couldn't hurt to get a few and test the waters.
Make sure you optimize the pages on your site for keywords for your niche. But don't overload your website with keywords as Google frowns on that. Focus on keyword rich content that gives useful information. And focus heavy on niche specific backlinks. Forums are the best bet, but don't forget to link from Social Media Sites or sites such as LinkedIn and MeetUp.
