Google’s search engine is a “research tool” for those looking for answers to their problems.
If your site offers the answers, then it might do well. But just publishing a website is not enough to hit the top of the search engine.
Your site needs to search friendly and comply with the search engine’s best practice guide.
Critically, Google refers users of their search engine only if that searcher is going to enjoy a good experience. Your site needs to “EAT” for Google and that means it should offer Expertise, have recognised Authority and be Trustworthy before Google “promotes” the site in their search engine results pages.
If search engine results are important to you, this would be something we’d build into a project and would cover this at the initial discovery phase.
