Who, these days, types in SEO Walsall?
Well, leaving aside the rise of voice search for a moment, the answer is only someone determined to find a local company to handle their SEO requirements.
After all, when you even start to type the phrase Google will try and autocomplete the search for you.
And it’s not as if that’s an everyday occurrence anyway.
But if you have got this far, do you want to know why you are seeing this result?
Interestingly enough, the way search engines deliver their results may be completely different from 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 Walsall and the business next door searches for SEO Walsall 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 Walsall, not because it represents SEO in Walsall but more because we’ve tagged it as such.
As an example, the image we’ve used at the top of this page is nowhere near Walsall, it is in fact somewhere in Cheshire not far from Neumanns Flash in Northwich, but at a push, you could be forgiven for thinking it was somewhere nearby.
In reality, it could be anywhere, because search engines can’t see so they rely on us telling them what this picture is about to serve it correctly in search.
Searches with a location popped on the end really don’t receive the same volume as search terms without a location, but why? Search has, and continues to, evolve and adding ‘Walsall’ to the end of your search phrase is unlikely to generate vastly different search results.
This is because search doesn’t work the way you think it does. Even if your next-door neighbour searches for the same phrase as you do, it’s highly likely you’ll have different results.
Search engines don’t provide a result based purely on the search phrase. Instead, they use a variety of factors including your IP address, previous search history, frequency of searches, date of searches, and the device you’re using to search, to determine which results they should serve.
If you’re signed into your Google account, Google can also use any information from here to help generate results that you’re more likely to be interested in. Similarly, Google can also read your emails via your Gmail account for the same purpose. Slightly unsettling, right?
As Google’s search results are often device-specific, knowing which device to use to make your enquiries can make all the difference. For PCs and Mac devices, your IP address will be used to pinpoint your location (unless you’re signed into your Google account).
If you prefer to search using your mobile phone, you’ll need to sign into our Google account to give the search engine access to your GPS coordinates. With all this information readily available, Google can give you the very best search results based on your exact location.
Good question, however, Google actually assumes that won’t include location information in your search phrase now.
As of October 2014, following Google’s ‘Pigeon’ update, their algorithm was altered to ensure more locally based results were served for broad queries. For example, you could search the term ‘locksmith’ and you’d be presented with the top ten search results all with this term in their title.
However, because Google doesn’t know whether you’re searching for a nearby locksmith, locksmith job opportunities, or a locksmith training course, it may include a selection of results with varying intent.
Similarly, if you’re travelling on a train and type in the same search query, it’s highly likely you’ll receive results for locksmiths around your current location, the area you live, and your workplace – as these are all locations that Google associates you with.
Put simply, Google is trying to be as helpful as possible by using all accessible information to provide you with a selection of relevant results. As a result, while you no longer have to add a location to search query, it can prove to be incredibly helpful.
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 previous search history and whether you have visited a particular website before, your IP address, 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 certainly 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. Stand somewhere near Bescot Stadium in Walsall and ask your mobile phone ‘how big is it’ and you may be surprised at the accuracy of the answer, even if you didn’t use the words ‘stadium’ or ‘saddlers’.
All of this means that what was a simple search query for SEO Walsall 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.
