Can any body that has 1 min to spare put 'talonmotorfabrication' in to their search bar and tell me how long it takes to find either any info that relates to it or better still the website. Problem is I know what I'm looking for but I wonder if I should be making my online profile a lot more visable through google ect?

You may have also noticed that I'm using this screen name as it has caused some confusion to have different names between here and the web site but I assure you it's still Phil@Talon.

top hit either with spaces or no spaces.

you need to add more serchabel words to your front page.

Think of things like "kit car" "haynes" "roadster" "build your own" "bespoke"

Anything that somone may put in to try and find you. Just write a descriptive paragraph.

Also thing of spelling errors "Tallon" and put them in a string of words.


Do some quick research on SEO "Search Engine Optimistation" for other pointers. And sign up on "Google Analytics" to see how your site is doing.

Cheers guys, I've tried it through a few different accounts and search engines and some times it does not find the site even if I enter the address in full. I'm not that computer savy so it usually takes me hours of trail and error before I get it right. The last site I had online I had to delete 2 months of work as the shop side of it didn't work after I changed a setting which would explain why only 1 person has ever brought through it in 18 months. :rolleyes:

I'll do some reading Robin, cheers.

Cheers all, yes it only works now because I've filled in all the details I should have done a year ago, before it used to came up with did you mean? then scroll through 9 pages to find it.

also try facebook advertising. my wife gets 2/3rds of her bussiness (horsey stuff) through it. u can set a budget of say 5 pounds per week. u then pay for every person who clicks on ur website. my wife pays about 15p per click into her page. about 50.000 people see the advert. and a few click onto her website.

u can get facebook to only show ur link if they live in a set area. are a set age. gender. and have set key words in their interests.

[TalonMotorFabrication]

Cheers I'll look into that, every little helps.

Let me just say this: if I search for 'haynes roadster wishbones' the top two hits are Gillham Online, the third one is an Ebay link that shows your stuff. Not bad, but can be improved ;-) Your web shop does not seem to appear on the first three pages.

Hi Phil,

You should always come top of the list when someone searches for your actual website/business name but its definitely a start. They have to already know about you to search for that though.

What you want to aim for is to be on the first page for "Haynes Roadster xxxxxx" where xxxxxx is chassis, flatpack, parts, wishbones etc.

Looking through your site you only mention 'Haynes Roadster' on the built chassis pages and its only a passing mention. It should be on all the items a couple of times to get it ranking in Google so you should re-write some of your descriptions. e.g. This is the wishbone page.

Standard book spec rear wishbones for Sierra/Granada based builds.
Made in 2mm walled 25mm and 20mm ERW tubing, the M20 camber adjusters are included. The bush tubes have been rough bored to size to make the bushes easier to fit and also grip them.

Would read better to a search engine as.

Standard book spec Haynes Roadster rear wishbones for Ford Sierra or Ford Granada based Haynes Roadster builds.
Made in 2mm walled 25mm and 20mm ERW tubing, the M20 camber adjusters are included. The bush tubes have been rough bored to size to make the bushes easier to fit and also grip them. Perfect for your Haynes Roadster chassis

Changing the name of the items will have a big help too. 'Rear wishbones' should be 'Haynes Roadster Rear wishbones' etc. this will change the title of the page in the browser too all of which goes into what the search engine sees.

Shouldn't take too long to rewrite some of this stuff but you should see a difference in page visits.

One last thing which is a bit more work is to have what are called long tail search results. This is where people type in things like 'how do I fit a scuttle to a haynes roadster?'. To get these you need to start a blog on your site and write some articles about the aspects of putting together a Roadster that people find challenging. Look through the forum at what people are asking most for ideas and maybe write articles as you build your roadster?

Cheers

Being on linkedin may also help too as "BOTS" go round searching sites.
