How Google works


Google is…

Paid Search = PPC = SEM

Organic Search = FREE = SEO

HOW

WORKS


• Search Engine Optimisation

• It’s the process of coding your website in a way that allows Google to find the page and list it in a search result

• Also called “organic” or “natural”

• Can take up to 6 – 9 months for a brand new domain to rank (a big waste for a microsite)

• Once achieved, organic rankings can last for years (not months)

• SEO is not a guarantee since search engines rules change frequently, rankings can fluctuate

What’s involved in SEO?

Typically three key phases to doing good SEO work:

Update content on a website

Ensure that it contains keywords and is ‘marked up’ (ie designated as headings, paragraphs, etc.)1

Improve coding & information architecture

Make the site accessible to search engines (so the text content

can be ‘seen’2Building of links from external websites

Increasing the ‘importance’ of the site by obtaining links (which

Function like votes) from other pages3

1Update Content On A Website

• Keywords and relative content• Images (accurately named)• Unique Content

Google prides itself on delivering accurate,

fresh and relevant content to searchers.

Google notices and indexes brand new or

newly changed text on your web site rapidly

2Improving Coding & Information Architecture

3Building Links

• Trusted reciprocal links• Google+• Google Authorship

• Google+ is a social platform that

allows users to follow and engage

their passions and interests.

their circles and can choose to

belong to communities of interest.

Google +

• Search Engine Marking

• It’s the process of buying keywords through Google AdWords and list it in a search result

• Advertisers only pay when a customer “clicks” on the ad

• Complex algorithm – you can’t just buy your way to the top (varies from a few cents per click up to $20ish for words like “medical”)

• Google prioritises great content and great landing pages
