Residential and Commercial Pressure Washing Specia
Like most of you I try to keep track of visits to my website and why or why doesn't my site come up in searches. My market is not that large so my site almost always comes up pretty well. always first page. Usually top 3-4 and occasionally I will have the top 2-3 listings on the page. I use google analytics and it is pretty good but the majority of my visits do not show the search terms that were used.

Do you feel like most people just say.....Pressure Washing New York (insert your cities)
or do you feet like they are more specific and search things like........... Pressure washing houses New York City.....Pressure washing sidewalks New York City...............Pressure washing stucco New York City......
You probably get my point. Are most search terms fairly specific or generic?

Thanks
 
Mark, I make it habit of asking every customer what the exact search term is they entered. Most will take the time to tell you and a few are in a hurry and don;t have the time, you can tell this by their voice. I find more and more that the terms they use are very specific, and most do not involve the terms we think they would use. If you have a word press site their are some plug ins you can get that will tell you exactly the terms used.

BTW your Pensacola link goes to a company not called Gulf Coast?? Is that supposed be like that?
 
Very good Question? You are in an area and location of a powerful website. I currently building another one.

Thanks Doug, I had forgotten about that site. I gave it up a while back and forgot to remove it. My site comes up pretty well in the searches and the more specific the search the better my site comes up. If they ask for a service along with the city my site is as good as any site around here. Like if someone asks for pressure washing houses Daphne AL Or Mobile AL. My site will come up #1 sometimes #1, #2 & #3 depending on the city.

If they just ask for pressure washing Mobile AL or Any City AL. I am usually between#2 to # 4 in the organic listings
