Number one in Google: The Secret Techniques that will get you there!
OK, so you want your site to go to number one in Google, and you’re looking for the secret techniques to get you there?
Well, the thing is, they’re not really that secret. Ten minutes of searching on Google will reveal that the basic technical tricks to ensuring that you get to number one in Google are:
- Search Term: Pick a search termÂ
- Domain name:Â See if you can get one that includes the search term
- File name: Name the file with your search term in it
- Title tag: Ensure that your <title>tags</title> include the search term
- Heading tags: Ensure that your <h1>tags</h1> include the search term
- First paragraph: Use the search term in it
- Links: Get lots of links from other sites that use your search term.
Now, there you go . . . we’ve revealed the secrets! Well . . . some of them. 
Of course, that’s just the start. You see the thing about getting to number one in Google is that the techniques will only get you so far. There’s something to understand about search engines that’s more important than any technique:
A search engine like Google has done its  job well when it finds you the most useful piece of information that is related to your search.
Companies like Google are working relentlessly to find customers the most useful pieces of information that it can for their searches. So your job is to make sure that you supply that useful piece of information. So if you provide the solution, the answer, the service or the help needed, and your site is number one then Google has done its job.
Even if you do get your website to number one in Google, the questions remain:
- Will your number one Google rank result in people coming to your website?
- Will those people find what they are looking for when they get to your website?
- Will those people convert, enquire or buy from you?
The key to taking advantage of Google results is not the techniques. They’re only the start. The real key is in providing the information that your website visitors need.Â
