I heard the local radio station advertising Callow Car Care yesterday as day 1 of their Christmas Advent calendar prizes – a free MOT. Shame the website wasn’t listed on Google then, but it is today.

I was only asked to start building this website on Thursday afternoon, so it was a bit of a mad rush. The URL was registered later that afternoon, the first pages put up during the afternoon and the majority of the site built as the text arrived on Monday.

Callow Car Care - 5th On Google.

And as you can see from the screen print (click on it to expand it), it may only be Wednesday morning now, but it is 5th on Google when searched for by name.

OK, you would expect that, but this time 6 days ago I’d never even heard of the company. We’ve got the site built and listed in Google in that time. Over the next couple of weeks I’m hoping that it might just climb above one or both of those directories that are currently in top spot. Plus, with a change to the pages that I have just put in place having seen the search engine results, the listing should stand out as the business’ own website and the changes should help raise it up the listings.

So hopefully we have done the trick. Quite an ask, but a new website from scratch and 7 out of its 11 pages listed in Google. Who says new sites can’t get onto Google quickly? They can – if you know what you are doing.
