As search changes and Google has to consider voice and semantic search, traditional searches like ‘SEO Runcorn become quite old fashioned.
Traditionally, it’s just a search phrase that someone is likely to type into a search engine such as Google when they are looking for a business who provide SEO or Search Engine Optimisation services or even a Search Engine Consultant in the Runcorn area.
But is this completely necessary these days?
It surely won’t come as a big surprise that this phrase is not typed into search engines that often, as it is quite a specific search query.
If you have found this page then the chances are that you are based in or around Runcorn and are looking for a company that can help you with SEO in the local area. Or maybe you are just curious about SEO?
Interestingly enough the way search engines deliver their results may be completely different to the way you think they do.
For example, do you know that the search you are doing now and the one someone does in the next street to you may bring back completely different results, even though you may both search for exactly the same thing?
So if you search for SEO Runcorn and the business next door searches for SEO Runcorn then you may well see slightly different results.
You might also find that the image on this page is on the ‘images’ search on Google for SEO Runcorn, not because it represents SEO in Runcorn but more because we’ve tagged it as such. It’s actually a Royal Tern but you can imagine it flying over Runcorn Bridge, at a push…
The reason is quite simple. Search Engines these days don’t just serve you a result based on the words you type in, they use a range of other factors.
For example, Google uses factors such as where you are located based on your IP address, your previous search history and whether you have visited a particular website before, how often you make the search, when you last made the search and what device you are searching on to name a few.
On top of this, it can pull in additional information if you are logged into your Google account as it can see whether you have sent or received any emails from any of the web addresses which are in their search result and if you have it may choose to push that particular website higher in your search result.
Yes, it does.
Google’s search results are often device specific so if you are using a PC or an iMac it will take your IP address as the location unless you’re signed in to your Google account in which case it may well know exactly where you are.
For example, if you have an Android tablet or mobile you have to sign in to your Google account to use them so it can often place you exactly based on GPS coordinates.
All of this means that what was a simple search query for SEO Runcorn has now turned into a challenge for Google and as its main driver is to provide you, the end user, with the very best search result it can use any and all information available to do this and to give you the answer.
Actually Google is now assuming that you won’t include that information. In October 2014 Google released a change to the algorithm in the UK which was dubbed the ‘Pigeon’ update.
What this did was it started to use the signals we talked about earlier to include more locally based results in broad queries.
So for example, if you search for ‘cake shop’ right now wherever you are then there is a very good chance that you will see a local cake shop in the ten organic results that appear. Of course, as Google doesn’t know whether you want to find a local cake shop, know what a cake shop is, find an album or band called ‘cake shop’ or search for a programming update called cake shop it may well include any or all of the other results.
You can further confuse the search engines by doing the search on your mobile whilst on a train. I did this recently and it returned a cake shop near my house, based on Google knowing where I live, a couple in Oxfordshire, based on my location whilst on the train, and a couple in Liverpool and Manchester, based on where I had been in recent weeks.
So whilst searchers are inherently lazy (that’s you and me by the way, sorry about that) search engines will continue to try and find a way to get the result we are really looking for by using additional information to help them best guess our intent.
Ironically though as they get better we get lazier and so when you’re looking for your local tyre depot, plumber or bouncy castle supplier in Runcorn you no longer have to put in the word Runcorn, although it might help.

Aqueous Digital are a family-run digital marketing and SEO agency. We specialise in organic and paid internet search, Search Engine Optimisation, website content strategy and reputation management for ultra-high net worth individuals.
Founded in 2011 by Jonathan Guy and his wife Emma, we set out with a clear vision to provide a different type of digital marketing service: a service based entirely on trust, loyalty, and collaboration (TLC).
This approach was prompted by an observation that some companies in the sector were misleading customers, over-promising, spreading unfounded myths about SEO, and delivering sub-standard customer service. We set out to be different.
Now in our eleventh year, those core values are as central to our ethos as they have ever been. We stand by our caring, down-to-earth, ethical approach to business, but this doesn’t just apply to our customers; we carry this through to how we treat our employees, too.
Our specialism in search and reputation management is an essential part of our success. We now partner with a wide range of customers across many sectors and countries, but remain true to our ethical values. If there is an obvious clash of interest, we won’t take on more than one customer in the same industry – this is a promise we make at the outset of every customer collaboration.
Despite the recent economic and social challenges, our business is continuing to go from strength to strength. We recently won Best Small Integrated Search Agency at the prestigious UK Search Awards 2020, Best Small Integrated Search Agency at the European Search Awards 2021, Best Global Small Integrated Search Agency at the Global Search Awards, Best Small Integrated Digital Agency at the UK Growth Awards 2021 and best Family Business at the UK Business Awards 2022.
We also recently won best low-budget campaign at the Global Excellence Awards 2021 for our work with our customer, ScratchSleeves.
Our proven paid and organic search strategies will provide your business with a framework to drive enquires, growth and increase turnover.
