Will My Site Be No.1 on Google?

SEO is not a one-off activity, but something that should be continuously monitored and improved, based on changing Google trends and industry competition.

Frequently asked questions about SEO
How Does SEO Work?
There is no quick solution for improving search engine rankings and it is an ongoing process, using a variety of activities that will achieve the best results. In short, you need to have a well-built website, with relevant and regularly updated content, inbound & outbound links and well optimised page titles, keywords & descriptions.
What’s the difference between organic vs. paid results?
Organic results are the results that appear in search engines, for free, based on an algorithm. Paid, or Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising are the top 4 search results that appear at the top and bottom of a search page on Google. These links are paid for by advertisers to increase traffic to their websites. Hyphen can also manage and support Google Adwords campaigns to help increase traffic to your website alongside our organic SEO packages.
If I pay for SEO will this guarantee #1 rankings?
Published by Google themselves, “no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google”. A guarantee is only possible if there is absolute control over what’s happening in a particular situation. In the case of SEO, no company can claim control or influence of search engines. Because of the absence of control over how search engines scan websites, it’s virtually impossible to make guarantees that a website will stand on top of the rankings. Ultimately, the results of a specific search ranking is down to the search engines themselves.
Whilst SEO does not come with any guarantees, at Hyphen, we strive to provide the best advice possible in order to help your site gain more traffic, and a site’s ranking is not the only important metric that we monitor. A high rank on Google makes it more likely that people will discover your site, but if they don’t easily find the information they are looking for, they will just bounce out immediately and never come back. In contrast, a website that delivers content that engages first-time visitors will be highly likely to be revisited and recommended to their social contacts resulting in higher traffic.
