The Web Design Hertfordshire Google Challenge

Challenges on October 11th, 2009 2 Comments

As you all know, tbomedia is a new and young site. At only a month old, its a real baby compared to the competition!

New sites are great, they look fresh and often packed with new ideas. The problem is, they lack the power and foothold in the Google rankings that older, more matured sites have. New sites take longer to be trusted by Google – Google doesn’t want to put any old rubbish in the rankings, it takes time to check the new guys out.

Sites which have been around longer have more content (normally), more links and higher rankings.. which means more visitors and more potential customers.

This is a problem many new sites face, having to wait up to 6months before appearing in Google can be frustrating, and even then only if your site has had any good optimisation done. TBO Media rely on the internet to generate business, so we need to showcase what we can and can’t do. That’s where the idea for the Web Design Hertfordshire Google Challenge was born.web-design-hertfordshire-google

At the moment, Google returns 669,000 results for the search term ‘Web Design Hertfordshire.’ And how well does our website rank for those terms? Very, very, very badly! Infact, we are not ranking at all for those search terms. That’s pretty normal for the age of the site, but we want to do better than ‘nowhere’.

So, we’ve given ourselves a target of 3months to improve and fast track our ranking. We’ll be tweaking the homepage, adding in some keywords, and building some links to get Google listening to us. We’ll give you an update over the next few weeks with our progress.

Wish us luck!
