"How do I get my website on Google?"
A question that has now become very common in the web design industry.
If you want to discover how to give your web site a better chance of being found on Google by improving website visibility, read on...
Maybe, you just spent a bucket load of cash on a new fancy looking web site only to realise that your website cannot be found on a Google search and nowhere to be found.
Why?
Maybe, the website design looks great with all the right graphics, colours for corporate branding and interactive buttons.
Maybe the web site has all the bells and whistles of flash animation and audio, but the site just cannot be found with your preferred keyword search on Google.
The truth for being found on Search Engines are.
- accessibility of content
- relevancy of content to actual keyword search demand
- quality of content
- popularity of content
The truth is that global standards for content accessibility has provided the main foundation for building search engine friendly websites. The web site construction has become extremely important for providing an clear path for search engines to access your content to be able to determine what your message is about. The clearer your message is and with correct content structure, the greater the results for search engine optimisation for your keywords. The correct content structure is defined as Global standards compliant coding for accessibility as specified by W3C.
However, as in any situation of supply and demand, it is wise to find out what the keyword demand is before you supply. The search engines are constantly indexing the web for keywords that are currently in demand as well as for emerging trends. It therefore makes sense to align your content, message or proposition with the keyword demand. The best keywords to identify are very specific word phrases that can be used to optimise your web site content.
The foundations
As part of your web site briefing process before the web site building started, was the specification for Google results requested for specific keywords?
Maybe your web site project has not been fully briefed or specified in writing to communicate the site's objectives.
The thought of setting yourself up for a web site project can be a daunting task to allocate time for getting content organised while being flat out with other business goals.
Web site project planning does require market research and content planning which does take time to manage. Often what happens is that web projects get flown into action by handing over to the web designer to just make it all happen to do what has to be done to get the site up online. Web sites often get published without the required research or planning and then progressed along a timeline without the appropriate project management.
Without the appropriate planning for web site projects, your web designer will than likely build a great looking web site that may or may not meet branding requirements, but more to the point, NOT achieve the desired outcomes for a return on your investment by getting new customers or create new cash flow.
If you were expecting or assuming that your web site will be found on the internet without specifying a preferred emphasis on specific keywords that you would like to be found on, it is unlikely to happen.
Unfortunately such a request or specification to a web designer in a web brief may not necessarily be fully understood to be able to achieve an expected result. Web site building requires a wide range of different skills, knowledge and experience to achieve satisfactory results.
In general the different areas for ensuring great web site results are:
- web design skills for visual communication;
- Global standards compliant coding as specified W3C;
- web site optimisation (both on-site and off-site) for search engine optimisation;
- content structure for accessibility; and
- internet marketing strategies.
The reality is that for your web site to be found on Google there a quite a few methods, steps and strategies that need done to be able to be found anywhere on search engine results pages. These methods require skills in each of the above areas of specialisation and project managers often call upon a team of specialist people to provide input.

"To whom it may concern
I am so impressed with what Gavin Gilmour of Innervisions has done for my plumbing business that I hope my competitors in the industry never discover him. To all of you who are not plumbers, I have no hesitation recommending Innervisions to you for your website design and launching. I found that the site Gavin created for my plumbing business is 50 times more cost effective then the yellow pages ever was. I found Gavin’s knowledge of the internet was way beyond the comprehension of many other Web page designers. Therefore if you are thinking of getting a website or altering your existing site speak to Gavin before you sign up with any other web designers."
