Default Not listing very high

Hi,

We've had a website for about a year but don't do very well on the search engines. Could you have a look at our site please and point us in the right direction as we don't know where to start.

Many thanks

I’ve had a brief look at your website with regards to improving its position with the search engines. I have noted below a couple of points that you could look at which should help.

1. Whole site Keywords – You have added keywords in Step 1 for the whole website. However they are very general. This would mean for example that with the keyword “Tiling” you are competing worldwide with any company that has anything to do with tiling. Consider refining the keywords to use something like “ Tiling Preston” or “Bathroom tilers Lancashire” etc
2. Individual page keywords – as well as setting keywords for your whole site you can also set them for each page. The format and principle is the same as in Step 1. To change the keywords for each page Go to Step 3 and click the Google button next to the page name.

3. Content – At the moment there is very little text on your site. As search engines cannot see pictures all they will see on your site is blank pages. This is almost certainly the biggest contributing factor to your sites under performance. The ideal is to create text and image rich pages around a specific subject. E.g. A page on kitchens with some good photos of the work you have done and text about your kitchen building services.

4. Google Local – Consider signing up for Google’s Local service. https://www.google.com/accounts/Serv...GB&service=lbc

5. We have produced some basic guides on optimising your website for the search engines which can be found at Search Engine Basics and Key Steps to Optimising Your Site

We hope this is helpful,
