Finally! SEO Lincolnshire experiment pays off

By Liam Lally 13th March 2012 Blog & 2 more

Wow – 12 months have passed since my last update on how I was doing with my keyword “SEO Lincolnshire” experiment – and since that last post (when I was 3rd for the phrase), I had moved up to 2nd in Google for most of 2011.

Finally I have managed to claim that top spot which for the last 2 years has been held by a different SEO company in Lincolnshire – and just in case I drop down at some point in the future I thought I would show (and take a screen shot) of reaching my eventual goal which was to be the top naturally listed position in Google for the phrase “SEO Lincolnshire“.

So what have I been doing differently?

The main difference is that I have been cranking up the number of blog posts I have been writing (still not as consistent as I would have liked) – but at least there have been several posted in the last month. I also think some of the link building I did (which feels like a lifetime ago) has also had “some” impact.

There is also the chance that instead of my site improving, that the previous top spot website has actually moved down the rankings – especially with all the Google Panda updates over the last 12 months.

Anyway – for now I’m happy 🙂

PS Just in case you think I was logged in when I did this search (which can massively change what you are given by Google in the search results), you will hopefully see in the top right hand corner of the screenshot the “sign in” box that means I wasn’t! 😉

Testimonials

I've known Liam now for a few years and its clear he enjoys his work and has a very deep understanding of his subject matter. I've had the pleasure of attending several of Liam's courses as well as seeing his hard work put to good use on several websites and Google AdWord campaigns.
Gary Marshall - Gary Marshall

We employ Liam to devise and assist in developing our new website and ad words campaign. Without fail he has provided us with a level of service and support which exceeds our expectations and he's an all round good bloke as well. I can't recommend him highly enough.
David Allen - Allen Signs

I recently attended one of Liam's training courses on how to get the best from LinkedIn for business. It was a most informative yet enjoyable morning and I am still not sure how Liam managed to pack so much in to half a day. The pace was just right - lively but totally inclusive - with all the verbal content being backed up by an easy to follow takeaway guide for later use. I look forward to growing my LinkedIn network with all my new knowledge and would thoroughly recommend the course to everyone who is (or wants to be) on LinkedIn.

We have known Liam since 2009 and his knowledge and guidance with respect to Internet Marketing and the use of Google is second to none. In addition, the depth of research and detail that he employs to give the best results and advice are usually not reflected in the costs associated with this expanding business area. We would have no hesitation in recommending Liam and Zaddles knowledge and services to anyone serious about improving their business sales and exposure through an Internet presence
