How your website can consistently rank page 1 on Google

Finding new business is what keeps business owners awake at night. Part of this dilemma is how to use search engines in order to drive traffic and leads to their business.
How your website can consistently rank page 1 on Google

An easy and simple way to do it is to spend lots of money on Google Adwords pay-per-click advertising (PPC). But the big money spent does not always equal loads of sales. A better long-term strategy for a business is to invest in organic search engine optimization (SEO) to get consistently ranked on page 1 in Google and found by clients searching for your services or products. According to Google users, organic search wins 94% of the time when it comes to searching online.

The Challenge

When Print Canvas came to Online Marketing Guys to help with their online strategy, they were struggling with five issues:

  • They had previously spent a lot of money with a SEO Company who did not deliver on results.
  • They were ranking in 100+ position of search engine results so people searching for their product were not finding them.
  • On page SEO on the website www.printcanvas.co.za was not in place.
  • Very little backlinks to the home page www.printcanvas.co.za
  • No Blog installed on the website where they could load fresh content weekly.
