How do I make my site appear first in Google Search results?
It’s a lot of work but the rewards are worth following Google’s advice! Wingman Digital has been performing SEO on client websites for years.Everyone asks us this question. The answer is: there is no secret, there are only good practices. Here are the best practices for improving your ranking in Google search results:
-
Provide high quality content on your site. Google tries to find the best answer for our users’ requests; if you write the best material, you’re in the game. Use the Performance Report to see which queries lead to your pages, and what the click-through rate is for links to your site.
-
Make your site mobile friendly. Many users search on mobile devices; our search results favor pages that we think answer the user’s request best with the best possible user experience on their platform.
-
Use informative titles and snippets. Good, clear titles and accurate meta tag descriptions help us understand the purpose of a page and generate useful snippets in our search results. Learn more.
-
Add search features such as stars, event information, or site search boxes, which add to the user experience, making your site more valuable to readers.
-
Make sure that you follow our guidelines for good sites and avoid pitfalls that could affect your search rankings.
