How to Rank on Google’s First Page for Competitive Terms

Neil Patel · Beginner ·📣 Digital Marketing & Growth ·7y ago
I'm sharing a little piece of SEO advice that most people don't know when it comes to ranking. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital https://npdigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips. ►Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neilkpatel/ ►On Instagram: https://instagram.com/neilpatel/ Hey everyone, it's Neil Patel here for another Q and A Thursday video. And, let me tell you, we have a topic today that you guys are going to love. But first off, I'm here with Adam LoDolce from https://viewership.com/. This is from Mark Mitchell, London's mortgage agent, clearly, a real estate guy based on his picture. He says: I followed your advice, watched your videos for the last two months, they've worked wonders. He's moved from rank number 87 to number 11 on Google for his keyword in his area, mortgage broker London Ontario. However, he's stuck at 11. How does he get to that first page where's he's finally going to start drivin' some real traffic to his website? It's a bit harder to go from being number 80-something to page two, page three. And what you'll find is, as you're continually climbing up, it takes longer and longer to generate higher rankings and get to page one. Google is looking at a lot of user metrics. Not just how many backlinks you have or social shares, they're looking at things like how many people are clicking on your listing, staying there, and not bouncing back. And they're hoping that they're finding their answer and they're not doing another Google search for a related query, cause that tells Google that your webpage solved their problem. Remember, when someone does a search query, they're looking for a solution to their problem. So don't think of your webpage as you're here to sell a service or a product. Yes, you have a product or service, but that has to be a solution to their problem. The best way to increase your rankings is slow and steady. It does win
