But the problem is you either don't know how to get listed on google or there is too much competition in the market that your in. Well there is a way to get your website listed and I'm going to show you how.
The first thing you need is a good keyword or search phrase. You have to choose something that your prospect or customer would type in in order to find your product. A good way to do this is by using the Google Adwords keyword tool. Just type in Google Adwords keyword tool and you should be able to find it as the first listing.
Once you have done that just look for a 3 to 4 word search phrase that has high search volume. Once you have done that you will need to check the competition or how many pages are targeting the same keyword. You do that by typing the keyword in into Google with quotation marks around the search phrase that you picked. Once you get the results you will see the number of pages competing for your keyword. The lower the competition is the easier it will be to get listed on google, so find some thing with under 50,000 competing pages.
Now that you have your search term you need to optimize your website so that the keyword shows up in the title and in the body of the site as the H1 tag. If you need help with doing that you can do a google search to find out how. Or you can use a word press blog and it will already be done for you.
Once you have your site optimized with your keyword the last step is to start creating backlinks to your site. Backlinks are links that point to your site from other sites. Google looks at them kind of like votes. The more you have the more relevant your site will appear and the better your chances are at getting listed on google. There are a ton of ways to create backlinks to your site. Just do a google search to learn how to create them.
