MenuWhat are some quick wins to get your business listed on google for your brand name?
Our site is LeadMachine.com so when you google leadmachine, there's all sorts of other noise... we're in the process of creating a new web site and creating content for the blog.
What are some quick wins for getting listed for our brand name?
Answers
You'll never get indexed by Google right away, it's going to take at least a few days or weeks, but there are a few things you can do to speed up the process as much as possible.
1. Create at least one simple landing page while your site is being developed and include a few paragraphs of text explaining what lead machine is.
2. Ensure your content can be crawled and indexed by Google. http://www.metatags.info/meta_name_robots - put the keyword in your title tag and meta description.
3. Create a Google Plus account for the business and Post a link to the website on the business account. Also submit a post on other social media accounts, like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
4. Not required, but running a small Adwords campaign for the keywords you're targeting will help.
The fact that you have the domain name means you likely will be ranking for "leadmachine" fairly quickly, but the steps above will expedite the process.

If you check the stats I bet you'll find that there are very few google searches for "LeadMachine", so optimizing for that won't get you the kind of traffic you want. Figure out what people are actually searching for:
1. Go to the google adwords tool and type in some questions your customers ask you all the time. Things like "How do I attract new customers?" or "What's the best way of getting in front of new prospects" or "why did all my leads just dry up?"
2. See which of those phrases people are actually typing in.
3. Create a page on your website that answers one of those questions.
As long as your website is google-friendly, and since there's already traffic of people looking for this information, google will pick up these kinds of pages pretty quickly. And it's a lot easier (and will get you much faster results) than trying to clear the space for your brand name.
I've taken this approach with ImprovAndy.com. I get fewer than 5 hits a month on my company name, but I average 1,300 hits and 30 leads (i.e. new email addresses) _a day_ on landing pages that answer questions about business networking.
If you want to talk further about why getting your brand name listed on google isn't really worthwhile, and what you can do instead to drive traffic to your website, feel free to set up a call.
Super Quick & Easy Strategy:
Create a Google+ page and link it with your website. Follow the steps mentioned here for the same - http://upcity.com/blog/2013/11/how-to-link-your-website-to-google-plus/
Why this will work?
I did a quick search for lead magnet and learned that there's no Google+ Page listing! That means an opportunity to show up pretty fast!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
In your case, it may take more time to get your site at the top of Google for your brand name. The reason is because your brand name is a combination of two regular words, "lead" and "machine" that have already been targeted by other companies in your industry as keywords.
If you choose to try establish search engine rankings for your company name, it is a good idea to pick something that is unique. This way, you won't be fighting other more authoritative results before you even get started on your SEO campaign.
Since this is something that you are probably unwilling to change, the next steps would be to get started on some content promotion tactics that would help improve your rankings.
Here are a few suggestions (should be done only with the idea of providing value in mind):
- guest posting
- directory listings
- social media marketing
There are many other tactics and platforms that you can use that should help to create some lasting links to your business. I would be happy to discuss more with you via a call.

How can I convince a client to sign up a 12 month SEO contract?
The best way to work around something like this is to map out the long-term strategy in phases. Build out a brief project map that outlines what they will receive within the 1-3 month period, the 4-7 month and the 8-12 month period. Set micro objectives for each period and this will give the client a bit more confidence in the short-term plans as well as the long. The key thing to remember here is that the client will often be worried about being tied into a contract that doesn't deliver results. As a result, you need to show why you need the time that you do. One thing that I often throw in is an extra incentive for longer contract lengths - for example, an extra PR/content campaign or some paid advertising extras. Try to assure them of some shorter term results that you can obtain as 'quick wins' and build their confidence this way - the major targets will always be longer term but if you can demonstrate that there will be progress between then they will be a lot more receptive.MH

Will moving my website to another web host / server affect my google rankings?
Typically just moving from one server to the next has no issues at all so long as you're not making any other changes to the site, such as changing URLs in a re-design process. Just make sure its a quality, respected server. If the server has issues then, yeah, you'll inherit them. But otherwise you'll be fine.SD

How do you build a high traffic niche website?
Obviously, no 2 situations are alike; and multiple factors affect any outcome. Practically, the number of answers is infinite. But one factor I've looked at intensively, full time for years is the role played by the brand name and/or the site's domain(s). Think of doing business -- online or off -- as moving along a path. Some paths are rocky or go through quicksand. Others can be made straight and smooth. Obstacles can be cleared, or the surface may be lubricated. For most niches, you'll see brand names / domains that add friction -- friction that is compensated for by extra marketing inputs ... effort or money. Suppose your niche were nicotine patches. Well, ideally you might own NicotinePatch(es).com to simplify brand recognition, add trust, increase click-through rates, and so forth. Traffic can be built up without an exact-match domain. No doubt about that. Still, not all domains / names perform equally well online or in the minds' of an audience. Answers aren't always so clear cut. However, since the internet is built on domain names, domains and names are worth evaluating very deliberately.JP

Hi, Your site is a Q&A so I presume that every time someone create a new Question it will generate a unique URL for that. Indepentend if you have or not an answer you want Google to crawl and index your site as quick as possible to start to analyzing the new page and bring traffic to it.

Will redesigning a website (ground up) ruin the search ranking of a site?
TL;DR -> Yes you will risk it if you don't perform a proper audit and migration from the original platform. Any type of architecture changes can 100% ruin your SEO if you are not migrating content and topics correctly. Many people assume this is limited to URI structure but underestimate the power of Topical hierarchy and the content, internal linking and URI structure which play a crucial role into any migration effort. If you have any questions about the migration process, give me a shout. Decent free migration checklist: https://searchengineland.com/site-migration-seo-checklist-dont-lose-traffic-286880TM
