Jumping in to Google's top ten in less than 24 hours

We have always had a good understanding of how Google rankings work, but this time we managed to amaze even ourselves. After launching on Tuesday evening at 7pm, the Banjosmith website was not only indexed by Google the following morning, but also ranked in the top five results for targeted key phrases.

The key to Banjosmith's success lies in three main factors:

• keywords were analysed and copy for the site was expertly written by
  Smart Media
• XHTML and CCS implementation for the CMS templates was flawless
• Intelligent WebCentre's effective Google-friendly features gave
  the site a head start.

It is most notable that these results were achieved even before there were any inbound links to the site.

How could we achieve such fast results? We know we have achieved similar top rankings for flowers but that took us a bit longer! So what's different?

Firstly, the site is solely focused on banjo teaching; secondly, the service is geographically limited and thirdly, we had total freedom to write the copy based on the facts we received from the client.

The key to successfull SEO is keyword-focused copy, written just right so that it still reads well, is grammatically correct, free from typos and where headings are used appropriately. This example is a powerful demonstration of what the combination of right copy, technical expertise and state-of-the art CMS can achieve.

If you follow our content copywriting advice, which we give as part of our Content Editor training, you too can achieve great results on Google.
