A search engine’s job is to supply relevant results to a user’s query. For example, if someone typed “auto repair”, in a search bar, various auto shop websites will populate as a result. Currently, the top three search engines are Google, Yahoo!, and bing. Google, as many of you may know, still remains king because nearly 70% of users turn to Google as their preferred search engine.

This is why it’s best to make sure your auto shop website is on the first page of Google foremost. Though other search engines do play a role in how your website is being found, it’s in your shop’s best interest to rank well in Google. If you aren’t showing up on Google’s first page, then you are going to struggle against your competitors on all other search engines.

I’m sure you’re wondering what you can do to increase your website’s online presence. Well, Google recently decided to dip their toes into the realm of social media, leading to all the Google Places/Plus for business page updates! So I highly recommend you update your business’ Google Plus for business page.

There’s been a lot of evidence recently that suggess businesses with a Google+ profile increase their chances of getting indexed faster than businesses that don’t have one. Once you have updated your Google+ profile, I advise you keep the ball rolling by claiming your Yahoo! Local page & your bing places for business page. This is a seamless and completely FREE process that will help boost website’s visibility on search engines!
