Leading Toronto Internet Marketing Company Numero Uno Web Solutions Responds to Survey Highlighting Most Important SEO Factors for Ranking on Google
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) August 29, 2013 -- Numero Uno Web Solutions (NumeroUnoWeb.com), a fast-growing global Internet marketing firm that caters to small- and mid-size business-to-consumer companies, is releasing its expert opinion on a survey highlighting the most important search engine optimization (SEO) factors for ranking on Google
“More than two-thirds of all online searches originate with Google; for smaller companies looking to make their web sites more discoverable and to rank higher online, it’s important to ensure they are using Google-friendly SEO strategies,” says Marco Reuter, business development manager at Numero Uno Web Solutions. “Unfortunately, many businesses struggle with SEO because Google ranks sites based on a proprietary search algorithm.”
According to Reuter, a popular question amongst business owners is, “What SEO strategies does Google factor into its search rankings?” A recent white paper showed that Google+ has the highest correlated effect on Google search rankings, says Reuter. In addition to Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest are all important ranking factors.

“Interestingly, of the top eight factors, all but one were social signals. The amount of back links used came in a very close second. For Google, a high number of back links means a site provides quality information and is popular with online users. As a result, the site should be rewarded with a higher ranking,” Reuter adds.
According to Reuter, of the top four SEO factors (Google+, back links, Facebook Shares, and Facebook Total), all correlated extremely closely to one another, and were just a few points away from the top position as the most important SEO factor on Google. That said, implementing and monitoring a social media marketing campaign can be very time-consuming, he says. Studies show it takes more than 30 hours per month to effectively manage each social media platform. (Ibid.)
“What’s important to remember is that Google ranks sites based on SEO strategies, not how big the company is. That means, with the right SEO strategy, smaller firms can compete on a level playing field with much larger brands,” says Reuter. “In fact, by having their online marketing efforts actively monitored, smaller businesses can actually get their sites to rank higher than their larger peers on Google.”
To ensure their web sites are more easily discoverable on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo!, Reuter says that brands need to use an online marketing company with a proven track record of incorporating the most up-to-date SEO strategies.
