My site has been up for 2 years now MyTruckbuddy.com and I am still finding it difficult for it to come up in a search unless I use the actual title. I want it to come up on the first page when someone is searching for movers or moving in the D.C. Northern Virginia Area. Where am I going wrong?

Short Answer: Get professional advice from a reputable Search Agency. Really. You expect people to hire you because you're the professional. Do the same with your website.

Long Answer:

  • Ensure you're targeting and including the words you want to rank for ON THE ACTUAL PAGE! Putting them in the "keywords tag" wont help a bit
  • Move your blog on to your own domain. Having it on blogspot isn't the best option, then link from the helpful articles you write to your own services content.
  • Research site architecture, URL naming (keywords in the URL - but not spamming), Good page titles, good meta descriptions
  • Increase your backlinks with anchor text that is relevant to your site, getting links from other related services and directories
  • Create a HTML and XML sitemap of your site so spiders can find your content

There's plenty more - just ensure you concentrate on the 20% of effort that will give you the 80% reward - low hanging fruit so to speak. Good luck.
