If you have launched your company’s new website only to discover that it does not appear in Google’s search results, you are not alone. There is only one first page of Google search results, so almost all the other websites related to the business you are in are also invisible to some extent.

You can even search for a company by name and usually find it. But if you search for the company based on what they do or what they sell, well, that’s different.

Well, it helps to be a great site, visually attractive with a compelling message. But Google requires more than that. Many parts of the search engine equation are factored into determining placement in search engine results.
