How to Appear Multiple Times on Google’s First Page

Since an increase in search equals increased opportunity to book appointments, you want to rank on Google’s first page more than once. Why limit yourself to only one touchpoint with a potential client? But how do you do that?

The first thing to look at is what appears on Google’s first page of search.

Anatomy of Google’s First Page

To break it down, there are 3 main sections of Google’s first page of search results.

#1. Pay Per Click advertising at the top

#2. Google Maps in the middle

#3. Organic search results fall below maps

Search engine marketing, or pay-per-click advertising (PPC), is at the top and is utilized primarily for paid ad space. That’s where you’ll see the green AD right before the URL in the search results. This is where it’s at when you want fast results.

Next up is the Google Maps section. Not only will potential clients find information on how to connect with your business, but this is also where they will be able to read any reviews your company has on your Google My Business page. This section is all about your practice’s reputation.

And right below that is the organic results section. Now while the other two sections get a majority of the clicks (we’ll talk about that in just a second), this section is where it’s at for longevity. You’ve used all of the right keywords, your site is optimized and mobile responsive, and the search bots love you.

From a numbers perspective, 40% of people click on the PPC ads section, 25% of people click on the Google Maps section, and the rest click on the organic search results. But how do you utilize each of these sections to your advantage? Let’s get to that…

Using PPC to Secure the Top 3 Spots

Using pay per click advertising is very effective and results can be seen almost immediately. Not only can results be quick, but a practice can also target the population within a certain geographical location to optimize their results to show their ads to only those in that specific area.

In addition to specifically targeting a location for your ads, you can also do a few things on your website to ensure that once your ad is clicked, you can convert that lead into a booked appointment.

Customized Landing Pages
Utilizing an effective landing page for each ad that you’re running will help you convert more visitors into clients.
Make sure that you include the following on your landing pages:

• Reviews/Testimonials
• Call to Action
• Service Specific content

Call Tracking
To fully track the success of your PPC campaigns, you should be using call tracking. Call tracking can help determine where a lead came from when someone calls into your practice to set that first appointment instead of using your website to book.

Now let’s jump into organic search results.

Using Organic Optimization to Populate Multiple Results

While PPC is a quick and effective way of getting on Google’s first page, organic search results have a longer lifespan. And not only can you show up once in organic search, you can show up multiple times depending on the content you have on your website.

To do this, it’s important to have specific metadata and page descriptions for each page on your website that highlight the specific services you offer. You will also want to target specific keywords related to your practice and the services you offer.

To target your audience better, you need to get to know who they are. If you specialize in a specific technique or service, learn what those patients are looking for in a provider. You can then target your keywords and content based on that knowledge.

Appeal to More Searchers with a Mobile-First Approach

52% of all online traffic is generated on a mobile device. It’s not enough to have a mobile-friendly version of your full site, your website needs to be mobile-responsive so that it can be seen fully on all devices.
And this isn’t just for the user experience on your site. Google actually ranks mobile-responsive pages higher than those who are not.

When you have a mobile-responsive site, it doesn’t end there. You will need to continually make sure that any new videos, photos, and pages are optimized for mobile-responsiveness and that those pages are easy to navigate. 

Put a Plan Into Action

Now that you have all of this information in front of you, what are you going to do about it? The first thing we’d suggest is to find out what parts of this strategy you can do yourself, and what you may need to hire out.
