Google announced on it's blog yesterday that it would be integrating personal results with normal website results on it's search engine.

This has already occurred on the US search results but has yet to reach the results in Australia.

You are probably wondering what this means for the average business.

Website Design and SEO will need to be Social

Google introduced it's Google Plus a few month's ago to try to gain some ground from Facebook.

That was the shot across the bow.

Today they begin the war!

Google is now integrating it's Google Plus platform into the results. You may have never used Google PLUS but you soon will.

Firms trying to get top search results with not just pages but personal results will need to be across social media in order to gain top rankings.

As Google says on their website:

"We're transforming Google into a search engine that
understands not only content, but also people and
relationships. We began this transformation with
Social Search, and today we're taking another big
step in this direction by introducing three new features:

1. Personal Results, which enable you to find information just for
you, such as Google+ photos and posts–both your own and
those shared specifically with you, that only you will be able to
see on your results page;

2. Profiles in Search, both in autocomplete and results, which
enable you to immediately find people you're close to or might
be interested in following; and,

3. People and Pages, which help you find people profiles and
Google+ pages related to a specific topic or area of interest,
and enable you to follow them with just a few clicks. Because
behind most every query is a community.

Together, these features combine to create Search plus Your
World. Search is simply better with your world in it, and we're
just getting started."

Web Design and SEO

Website Design and SEO work hand in hand. Creating a website that purely appeals to the search engine will look very dull and result in poor conversions (converting a visitor to a customer) and creating a website design that ignores the search engines will result in no web traffic to your website.

Either way you are not optimising your website. I get asked regularly about Google and people think that ranking for various keywords and giving Google what it wants is something that never changes. This is incorrect.

For instance the last few weeks has seen Google start to bring more Google Maps/Places pages into search results. Google has teams of engineers working on various projects. You could have 2 or even 3 changes in a day.

This is why our SEO services are not focused in only one area. We have a systematic approach to increasing traffic to your website. This includes keyword research, page structure and page content as well as safe linking structures that create traffic and help with page ranking. This is done across a variety of websites.

I found a good video on how Google approach their search engine search results.

Come back to the blog to find out more about Website Design and SEO. or call (08) 9350 9392 and have a chat about your website design and SEO needs.

As a Perth web designer, I always want to give my customers the best chance for traffic and rankings of their site.
I am often asked whether it matters if your website is hosted here or overseas such as the US. I explained to a client that I moved a website from a US hosting company to our Australian Dedicated server and without doing anything else the ranking for one keyword moved 2 pages on the search results.

Apart from that, if something happens to your website, do you want to be queuing up to talk to a provider that hosts one million sites in a foreign country on a chat line.

Thats what happens when you try to cut costs and host overseas. They don't care if your business is down or you are losing money.

The other important factor is the speed of the website load. If you host with an overseas company then you can expect that the time from your computer to the server and back will be about 300 ms as opposed to an Australian server with 60-80 ms. thats about 3 times quicker.

Google takes into account the bounce rate on a website. if your website is slow to load due to where it is hosted and your visitors leave (bounce) and that affects your ranking are you saving money.

We will only host in this country and we run a dedicated server with 3 separate drives to ensure your websites are safe.

Have a listen to what the Google Engineer Matt Cutts thinks about local based hosting.

So if you want piece of mind for your website then you need it to be handled properly. Call us on (08) 9350 9392 for more information.

Web Design is always changing because the environment is always changing. You may or may not know that many videos on the internet that are not with Youtube cannot be seen with an Iphone or an Ipad. Due to Apple not supporting the most popular format on the internet, namely flash this can be a problem if you are using videos.

We recently created a site for maysen and borowski which if you click on the left hand side where the video link is, you can view the video not only on your desktop but on your iphone. We cannot improve the speed of teh iphone but we can make it available to those who want to view the video on their phone.

If you want your website to be visible to the 60% of people now using their mobile phones to look for information, call Web Wizards, a Perth Website Designer you can rely on. If you need to know more about the websites and videos we create, then please call us on 9350 9392.
