By Katrina Puranik - Google Marketing Specialist, Ranking Australia

Google Ranking

What is a Google Ranking?

Google ranking is terminology on how to find your business when searching in the Google search bar. Google bots crawl over your website to determine a google ranking. The more ticks you get from Google and its algorithms then the higher up the page your business will show on a search.

What are backlinks?

Backlinks are the hyperlink that looks like a chain and allows you to link a word or phrase to a website. Backlinks assist your google ranking. Google robots use backlinks to help them in searching for relevant information that people search. The more people that use the backlink from your website or blog, the higher ranking you have.


Can you control who backlinks to your site?

Yes. Predominantly, Google can determine which links to trust without additional assistance; however, there are a few free applications that you can search through to see who has mentioned your website in a backlink. Google can assist you. The tool is called Disavow links to your site.

Google sets up rules and guidelines for you to follow regarding backlinks. If you believe that a site is not compliant with Google guidelines, you can report this to google, which will result in that page receiving a lower ranking.

Next, sort the keywords by match type and know that your account shows a broad match of the blue badge and badge blue. Next, look at each keyword's click-through rate (CTR) to determine which keywords have the highest CTR and delete the keywords with the lower CTR.
