I just created a website using WordPress and the name of the company has 2 words in it. If the 2 words are attached, the first company that comes up in Google is mine. Otherwise I’m too far behind. Companies that don’t have my name, but are from the field come up on top. How can I change that?
Also, a business with a similar name used to exist a long time ago and can be seen on Google maps. I don’t want to be associated with it and want my business to show up first. Is adding social media accounts the only solution to help?
Thank you!
I’m not sure I follow your question but I am pretty sure it is not a WordPress question.
This is an seo question. You need to learn how seo works.
That’s not related to WP but SEO, Google has an engine that decides the order of the search results, what you can do is make sure your website follows SEO best practices, one of the most important are:
– Use the correct mark up structure(tags, ex: H1, H2, section, etc)
– Optimize your site’s loading speed.
– Optimize the content on your webpage
Regarding the other company with the same name, the only thing you can do would be to create a Google account for your business and link it to your website, telephone and socials, so that you have a better chance of appearing first.
