What’s the magic secret to getting to the top of Google? Okay so it’s not really a secret, I shout about it all the time!

A well optimised website and regular blog content!

Here is my secret formula for best results:
• 90% or higher testing scores with https://pagespeed.web.dev/ and https://gtmetrix.com/
• Two blogs per week

If you want to see an impact quickly the more blogs per week you can do the better. Most of my clients either blog once a week or once a month. BUT whatever you decide to do you MUST stick to it. DON’T do a blog every day for two weeks and then not post again for 6 months. This isn’t going to help you get higher Google rankings. It’s about consistency where blogging is concerned. Blog more frequently and you will see result in Google more quickly – as long as you stick to your frequency!

Couple this regular blogging with a well optimised website and you are on your way to those top rankings.

Optmisation can be a bit harder to achieve, however there are lots of things you can do as a non-techie to help improve the optimsation of your website:
• Change your image file type to .webp
• Make sure that none of your images are wider than 350px
• Remove any social media feeds from your home page (links are find and encourage but don’t embed your feed into your home page)
• Remove any unnecessary “added elements” by this I mean any animations or sliders, anything that moves. Most of the time these elements are not integral to your business or website but are more of an added extra. Whilst they are nice to have the code need to make this happen will significantly slow your website down. Better to get people to your website because it is well optmised than have no visitors but a very snazzy website!
• Add a CND to your DNS – Cloudflare has a free option and is what I use.
