Best SEO Company

/in , /by

Best SEO CompanyOne of the most common questions that we get asked is “Who is the Best SEO Company?” yet this is not simple to answer.

Some SEO companies suggest they are the best and attribute this to the fact that they are working with large clients; however large clients are possibly the easiest to gain results for. This is due to them already having a natural SEO foundation of followers and links including press releases.

Take for example Aston Villa in Birmingham; how would they really know if the chosen SEO company by AVFC was carrying out SEO well?

The most searched keywords for the domain AVFC.co.uk are:-

aston villa
villa
villa aston
avfc
villa park

Who do you think the competitors are for these terms? There are few.

The on-page SEO can seen here – avfc.co.uk

In contrast, a small company trying to sell a service or products is far more difficult to work with than a large brand name; if the services or products are in competition with a leading brand name then the task of the SEO company is huge.

For example, an accountant in the Black Country is quite difficult to achieve rankings for. This is because there are many of them so the number 1 position in Google is going to be fairly competitive for the keywords:-

black country accountant
accountant black country

For both of these you will find a Chameleon client Sandwell Accountancy Services Ltd in position one.

To make this more difficult, consider an accountant in the Black Country who wants to attract clients from Birmingham, and to make things even more difficult Birmingham City Centre, they would need to be appearing for keywords like:-

Central Birmingham Accountant
Central Birmingham Accounts
Accountant Services Birmingham
Birmingham Accountancy Services

Again, you will find Sandwell Accountancy Services Ltd in the top position, which means that for the Birmingham area Chameleon could be said to be the best Birmingham SEO Company.

What if we Google “Best Birmingham SEO Company”, who do we find top of Google? Chameleon Web Services.

For a Birmingham based SEO company to state that they are the best in the SEO industry they must appear for the SEO terms relating to the Industry in the top 3 position of Google.co.uk

Chameleon’s rankings are as follows:

best birmingham seo company – 1st
birmingham seo company – 1st
seo company birmingham – 1st
seo services birmingham – 1st
seo consultant birmingham – 1st
birmingham seo consultancy – 1st
birmingham seo companies – 1st
seo company in birmingham – 1st
birmingham seo services – 1st
seo companies in birmingham – 1st

What about other related services such as Google Adwords? The best SEO company in Birmingham should also be able to get No 1 in Google for these terms:-

adwords birmingham – 1st
google adwords management birmingham – 1st

Ultimately then, the figures speak for themselves; Chameleon Web Services is Birmingham’s Best SEO Company.

SEO Marketing Emails

/in , /by

We all get a constant flow of emails from SEO companies across the globe. We even get them ourselves but reading Matt Cutts blog even Google get them.

Matts Cutts posted:-

Folks at Google get cold-call emails out of the blue just like everybody else. Here’s an email that a colleague of mine got recently:

I was on your website www.google.com and wanted to shoot you a quick note. I think I can make a few changes (aesthetically and/or SEO – wise) to make your site convert more visitors into leads and to get it placed higher in the organic search results, for a few of the select terms.

This is NOT like one of those foreign emails you probably get in your inbox every day. Just to be upfront I have 3 agents that work with me for development /SEO.

I would just need to know which (if not both) services you’re open to checking out information about, either web design or SEO. Would you be open to seeing more brief info / quote for what I would like to accomplish?

Regards,
XXXXXX XXXXX

So this person is offering help to convert Google visitors into leads. Or, you know, to improve Google’s rankings in organic search results. Sigh.

So this makes us feel much better now knowing that Google are doing this.

Penguin 2.0 Rolled Out May 22 2013

/in , , /by

Matt Cutts has confirmed that Google rolled out their latest algorithm change dubbed Penguin 2.0 on May 22nd 2013. This change capitalises and goes further than the Penguin 1.0 change rolled out in 2012. The aim of this update is to prevent spam sites ranking, whilst putting emphasis on quality content and excellent user experience of real sites.

Google Algorithm Update Panda Penguin 2.0

Google expects Penguin 2.0 to affect 2.3% of English language search query results which whilst this does not sound like many, 2.3% of billions of searches is in reality a lot of sites.

Many SEO companies and webmasters will be worried and affected by this latest update as it targets black-hat SEO practices and poor link building. However, at Chameleon we have a commitment to quality content and practices; it is this which has meant that our clients have not been affected. If anything, the Google shift to emphasise quality has resulted in our clients improved rankings. All Chameleon’s “real” hard work and efforts are showing positive results.

Google Penguin 2.0 Update

Google Algorithm Update Panda Penguin 2.0

We have been informed that another version of Google’s Penguin update is coming in the next week or so, the date is to be confirmed. As more information becomes available and more official webmasters and SEOs will either be in a state of panic again or simply wondering how this will effect the rankings of their own business website and their clients websites.

 

The previous Penguin update which was launched April 24, 2012 made a mess of Google affecting not only black-hat SEO sites but also some legitimate sites so this new update is something we should take notice of. What makes this update even worse is the fact that this is said to be even harder on sites than the previous updates.

What should we expect in the next few months in terms of SEO for Google?

This video was created 13th May 2013 and Matt Cutts explains that Google are working hard to ensure only high quality websites are found in the search results so as long as we all work hard to ensure our websites contain high quality unique content and users like what they see we should be ok.

The Google Penguin 2.0 Update is a Web spam update aimed at blackhat SEO which is going to dig deeper than before and looks for sites selling links and more.

Part of this Penguin update is improved link analysis which is aimed to prevent bad linking sites ranking.

Matt Cutts explains that if you use Black Hat then you will have a busy summer.

How To Achieve Success with the Google Penguin 2.0 Update

Simply do not cheat the system. If you have a website that is great and full of unique content, laid out well and the user experience is a positive one then you have nothing to worry about.

Avoid Advertorial Spam

Search engine marketing techniques that use advertorial spam such as the selling of links or entire advertorial pages that have embedded links containing nondescript content with the end goal to pass pageRank should be avoided.

Penguin 2.0 has a focus on selling links that pass PageRank and now this is going to be able to monitored and due this violating Google’s quality guidelines website thats are carrying this out will end up with consequences such as the loss of trust, PageRank reduction and this will end up with lower rankings for websites.

Sophisticated Link Analysis

Google has come up with a more sophisticated way to carry out link analysis and this now means that any dodgy linking can result in a penalty where as before you may have avoided this by luck, now Google has an improved understanding of spammy links.

Hacked Website Detection

One of the benefits of this update is to help find hacked websites and remove them from search results to reduce the amount of problems on the Internet. The introduction to also allow us to report sites with virus’s using Google Webmaster tools provides us more reach to work with Google.
