We're getting a little giddy over here about our website optimization (SEO) results. You might recall that we recently finished a project to optimize estate planning attorney Jerry Reif's website for local search. Jerry's site had a complete overhaul, including a new domain name. However, we wisely kept his old domain name as well, at least in part because Google's search algorithm gives greater weight to domains that have been on the internet longer. This makes sense as they try to weed out the fly-by-nights and upstarts.
I believe it has been less than a month, perhaps three weeks, since we published Jerry's newly-optimized estate planning website. We had nowhere to go but "up" with his site, as it previously did not show up at all on local searches for a Saginaw Michigan Estate Planning Attorney.
We checked today and Jerry's optimized site is now listed on Google's page one for the local search. It is the older domain (www.legaladvizor.com) that made it to page one first, but you will find the same site replicated at both www.legaladvizor.com and the new domain: www.jerryreiflawyer.com
Check it out for yourself. Go to Google and type in Saginaw Michigan Estate Planning Attorney, or just click the direct link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Saginaw+Michigan+Estate+Planning+Attorney&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g3
Also note that Jerry's site appears near the top of the page on the local business map.
Remember that if your website does not appear on the first page of a local search, you are missing out on 70 to 80 percent of all search traffic. If your website is not driving new traffic to your office, the most likely cause is that people searching for you in your local market simply cannot find you.
