Hey everyone - today’s search engine marketing question is: How many of our readers go past Page 1 while they Google something?
I’m already certain out of the gate that their response is 90% likely to equal NO.
That’s a known fact. Just about 10% of Google traffic will ever end up browsing the 2nd page and beyond.
As a webpage owner, consider the importance of this when people are searching up your name, or your company / website name.
Especially when you’re worried about your reputation. When you’re really itchin’ to bring some new customers.
OK… just HOW important is this? Those top 10 results will truly define your searchers’ first impression about you.
So you need to exert control over them.
The “Perfect 1st Page” on Google
Here’s your roadmap for a “Perfect First Page” for searches for your brand name:
1. My main website is in Google’s #1 spot
2. Most or all the top 10 search results are conquered by my own properties
3. All social media network business pages & web property accounts listed are mine
4. If there is any press or reviews, it’s only positive
I bet you’re thinking, “hmm… that reminds me of something, right?”
Why, of course this does!

It takes time & energy to defend your own Google Top Ten with an effective online reputation strategy, as we’ll elaborate upon on a coming post.
Simple: one bad apple will spoil the whole top ten.
What Happens If Your First Results Show You Fake or Unfounded Press?
If someone had a bad time with you or if a client is just angry, they’re almost invariably apt to take it out among a public audience, which includes unleashing their frustration & disappointment on public websites.
You need to claim those profile spots on social media in-case a naysayer tries to do that.
WHY?
Because bad reviews on social networks like Facebook WILL float straight to top of search results when there’s no other Facebook property with your name!
Now, imagine if somebody saw your name, searched your name on Google, and saw those false reviews.
Once again, they trust things they see right away. Because the first page caters perfectly to consumers’ 7-second attention span, fake or groundless reviews will stick out like the sore thumb.
Imagine, now, how much people are destined to never become your customers again.
All because the results absolutely taint your name.
What will reliably get these toxic pages off of Google?
