Checking keyword rankings can offer a measureable way to monitor SEO progress

1. How To Check Your Keyword
Rankings
Utilise the skills of the search marketing
SEO Brighton experts to maximise the
exposure of your business

2. Checking your keyword
rankings is not as
simple as it used to be,
you could simply type
the keyword into your
browser and see where you were.
However, this will no longer work for 2
reasons.

3. No. 1 - Your Web History
Google will alter your results depending on your
web search history, so if you have searched for
your own website before, Google will see that
you like this website and will automatically
amend your website rankings to a higher
position.
Please Note – Nearly everyone has heard of the
word Google, but do you know exactly what they
do? Check out the following link to see what
Google do in their own words -

4. No. 2 - Your Location
• Google knows where you are (big brother!!).
• Google will alter results for ‘plumber in croydon’
depending on whether you are searching in
Croydon, London, Bristol or Glasgow; in other
words the results given will be different!
• It does this as is trying to pre guess what you
want to see and will deliver results it feels are
most relevant to you depending on your location.

5. Free Ranking Tools
For most business owners who are time and
cash strapped, a free rank checking tool to see
how their internet marketing campaign is
progressing is fine. I would recommend Rank
Checker from SEOBook.com.

6. Paid For Ranking Tools
For accurate and comprehensive keyword ranking
you will have to pay for a keyword ranking tool;
the one I would recommend is Advanced Web
Ranking which costs $99 for a lifetime licence.

Remember – measure your rankings monthly
and track how they are performing month by
month
