How do I get more people finding my business in Google

Part of the On Web Marketing™ Information Center.

A simple way to think about getting found more often in Google without chasing tricks or shortcuts.

Getting more people to find you in Google is less about tricks and more about coverage. Search engines need to see clear topics, clear locations, and clear answers to real questions. If those pieces are light or missing, visibility stays low.

Start with what you want to be found for

Make a short list of the services, audiences, and situations that matter most. For each one, ask how someone would search for that need if they did not know your name.

  • What problem they are trying to solve.
  • What words they would use for that problem.
  • Whether they would include a city, state, or industry in the search.

These plain language queries are the foundation. Your content should look like clear, direct answers to those searches.

Create content that matches how people ask

  • Use headings that echo the way people phrase questions.
  • Write pages that focus on one main question at a time.
  • Include examples and scenarios that feel real, not generic.

This is where an Information Center comes in. Instead of one vague page for everything, you publish many specific, helpful pages that line up with how people look for help.

Think in terms of entry points, not just keywords

Each article in an Information Center becomes an entry point into your business. The more useful and focused those pages are, the more ways there are for searchers to discover you. Over time that is how you get more people finding your business in Google.
