I have been working to get the current company I work for as close to number one I can get. I have Taken us from being 2-3 pages deep in google to a first page result for an important key word for our company.
The goal for the company is top 3, while I will not settle till I am at #1.
Here are a few things I have done.
- Optimized our pages. Content is relevant to each page. For example, if it is a left hand widget page I am going to write about a left hand widget, not a right hand one
- Sitemap.
- Backlinks. Everyone knows this. I am submitting the site to 2-3 places per week. Its tough to find like sites for this biz, as most of them are our competitors. So I am selecting directories and such that I feel will benefit us.
I have not spent an money doing this. I do not feel you need to.
I also wanted to point out one big thing....DO NOT GIVE UP. Do not submit your site to 242312314243 directories for $19.99 and expect overnight results. Take your time and do it right.
