\"How<\/p>\n

Have you heard the joke: “Where’s the best place to hide a body? The second page of Google’s search results.”<\/p>\n

Okay, so that’s pretty dark, but the idea is correct: If you your company ranks lower in Google search results, you’ll get less business. This isn’t just hearsay. According to a recent study in 2022, the #1 Result In Google Gets 27.6% of All Clicks. In fact, the first three businesses listed at the top of Google get 55% of all clicks. In fact, only 0.63% of Google searchers clicked on something from the second page.<\/p>\n

While Google’s “Top Secret” formula is so well protected that not even Nicolas Cage could get it, there are data-based, research-backed best practices to boost your Google search rankings. Let us show you the eight best!<\/p>\n

1.) Heavy keyword research<\/strong><\/p>\n

While “keyword stuffing” is thankfully a thing of the past, keyword research is the essence of every internet marketing strategy. Why? Because keyword research is how you understand your target audience and their interests. Don’t think of keyword research as just looking up search terms. Think psychologically. Use keyword research to gain insights on what your target group is looking for and leverage those ideas to create relevant, engaging content.<\/p>\n

2.) Create content based on search intent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Search intent (a.k.a. “user intent” or “audience intent”) is the “why” behind every search your users enter on Google. Users who search for something using search terms expect to find information about them. So to achieve a better rank, you need to have relevant content on your website and other social profiles. Put another way, your users are searching for answers; you want their search to stop with you.<\/p>\n

3.) Examine and fix current Google penalties<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of “Google Penalties” like demerits in elementary school. Get enough and you’re going to detention. Google won’t make you clean the marker board after school, but it will blacklist your website, meaning it won’t show up in organic search results. Once a website is blacklisted by Google, ranking it is a mammoth task.<\/p>\n

Best to just avoid being blacklisted in the first place, right? Here’s how you can audit your own site to make sure it’s not setting off any Google alarm bells.<\/p>\n
