What Is Google Ranking?

Search Engine Optimization Helps People Find Your Website Online 

If you’re new to the world of web design and search engine optimization, then you might not be familiar with Google page ranking or why it’s so important for the overall success of your small business. Essentially, Google PageRank rates your business website from one to ten. Fitz Designz is here to give you a quick course in PageRank and help you to understand how it can help or hurt your Santa Rosa business. ​


The Ranking Roots


With PageRank, the more positive recommendations you have from unique sites, the more improved your overall ranking will be. Before you start to think that having thousands of recommendations is a good thing, realize the fact that if a majority of those recommendations come from low ranking sites that your ranking may not improve much at all. 

Instead, you and your ranking are much better off receiving positive recommendations from only a few unique sites that have good recommendations as well. It’s better to be held in high regard by a few influential individuals who are making waves in your industry than it is to be held in high esteem by several companies with below average reputations.


The Power of Page Rank


While your business site’s PageRank is important, it’s even more important that you not develop tunnel vision. We recommend that you still concentrate on your SEO campaign, creating quality content and making sure your site is the best it can be. PageRank is merely a piece of the puzzle, not the full picture.
