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 have known Liam for around 8 years and have had many conversations about SEO, Google Ad-words and social media. I attended a course on Google Adwords that Liam was running and found that Liam's knowledge of Google Adwords is fantastic and the way he communicated it ensured I left with my head buzzing, full of ideas. I would recommend any of Liam's courses if you are looking for inspiration on anything Google!

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.

Liam has helped me get the most out of LinkedIn ensuring that I have the building blocks to create a great network. He took his time to go through the building of the profiles, all the way through to creating groups and the advertising opportunities. Liam is very passionate about what he does and this shows. He wants all his clients to succeed and really does put in the extra effort. I would recommend Liam to anyone and look forward to using his services again.

I had the pleasure of attending a Business Club Lincolnshire meeting where Liam was the guest speaker. The subject of the presentation was "Generating Business Through LinkedIn". Liam clearly demonstrated his passion for the subject and his in-depth knowledge of Social Media as a business tool. Liam was very keen to share that knowledge with the group and was very open and helpful when questions were raised. Liam's presentation was very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him if you are looking for advice or assistance with Social Media for your business.
