Overnight Success – BES Hits #1 on Google

Erica O'Leary
We have dug our way out of the “sandbox” and “cached” in!!! 

Its official if you type Walnut Creek 1031 Exchange or Oakland 1031 Exchange into a Google search you will see Bankers Exchange Services in the No. 1 spot!  Yesterday BES was buried deep in the pages of Google and today we arrived on top.

Thanks go out to Patrick Schwerdtfeger with Tactial Execution who spent a lot of time and energy re-building the BES website.  Patrick taught us the importance of blogging and using key words throughout our site to optimize visibility.  With so many people using the internet these days to shop for products and services it is of paramount importance to show up on the first page of a Google search. 

When we all committed to undertaking the task of improving our website with more content, blogging and using primary keyword phrases, Patrick told us to be patient.  He said we wouldn’t be #1 over night, but if we consistently added fresh content to our site over time Google would reward us.  Patrick was diligent about submitting our URL and sitemap and we were all rewarded for our efforts this morning when we typed Walnut Creek 1031 Exchange into a Google search and saw the fruits of our labor.  The entire process of rebuilding the site, adding additional content and regular blogging paid off in just about 4 months with a top spot on Google.

You don’t have to be tech savvy to improve your website visibility, you just need to know the steps to take.  Patrick wrote a book called Making Yourself Useful, Marketing in the 21st Century, he also offers 52 weeks of FREE business coaching tips.  If you need help making your website more robust, get in touch with Patrick.
