FAQ Questions About Search Engine Marketing
- How Do I Get to The Top of Google Search Results
This is great question but unfortunatly the answer is not that simple. When considering search engine placement you must consider for which terms you are attempting to get to the top for. Placing first on the Google results page may be easier for rare or specific terms, but placing for commonly used or generic terms may be more difficult. Search engine placement has many variables and therefore an SEO specialist is usually needed to ensure positive results. - Do I Need To Continually Perform SEO Techniques
Yes! Search engine marketing and optimization is an ongoing task and you will want to monitor your progress over a period of time. As you experience positive results you can adjust your SEO techniques. Remember that Google indexes roughly every 1-3 months and you will therefore need to make slight adjustments to ensure you stay where you are, or increase in placement. Also keep in mind that your competitors are also trying to get to the top! Therefore, be deligent at monitoring and adjusting as needed. - What Are Simple Ways To Increase Search Engine Placement
