If You Ain't First... You're Last (Especially in Search Engine Marketing)

in:
Mind Merge Design first on google search

In the words of the famous poet Ricky Bobby... "If You Ain't First You're Last". Not only is this true in the fictional world of NASCAR, but the same is true when it comes to how a companies website ranks on a search engine. Google has over 80% of all searches made on the web today, and of those searches nearly 70% are localized searches. This means that when the vast majority of people are searching for a product or service they are doing so with a specific area in mind. The key however is to be positioned on the first page of the results since approximately 90% of users do not proceed to the second page. There is no second place ribbon for this race!

Search Engine Marketing can take on many aspects, but at the end of the day if your website does not show up of the first page of a user search you might as well be last. At Mind Merge Design, we are experts at placing our clients on the first page both through organic and paid methods. If you want to be positioned to receive leads through online marketing then give us a call today.
