The million-dollar question: Can I get to the top of Google?
Sadly, there’s no simple answer. You’ll find plenty of SEO companies claiming they can get you there in just weeks. It makes us smile when a company is promising to get you to the top of page one—while they’re stuck on page two.
Ouch.
As an SEO agency, we'll never claim to get you (or us) to the top. But it’s always our goal. So why shouldn’t you listen to those who say they can? Because it’s not up to us.
Google decides where to rank you.
What is up to us is understanding what Google wants—and doing it. That means SEO techniques, consistent practice, and most importantly, ongoing SEO. We also need to look at how and why you get to the top. Are you ranking for relevant keywords or ones that have nothing to do with your business? If it’s the latter, you’ll attract the wrong traffic, experience high bounce rates, and damage your rankings.
Then there are low search volume keywords. Sure, you might rank high for them, but if fewer than 50 people search those terms a month, you’ll still get no real traffic—and no results.
So, can you get to the top of Google? Maybe.
You can definitely get to page one. But like a Formula One race, only one car crosses the finish line first—even if everyone has a great driver, a great team, and a great car.
