Google app searches continue to deliver different results

Since last April 2015 when Google officially changed to its ‘mobile friendly’ web page requirements we’ve been monitoring our own search terms using our unique keyword benchmark techniques Our first full test was completed back in March 16, we’ve just completed another deep search with some interesting results.

National SEO campaign commission kicks up a stink!

Local sewage pump company A and C Pumps based in Nonnington are one of the UK’s top pump re-sellers in the UK. Their pump systems are in use all over the country from individual properties with a flood problem to housing and industrial sites in a floodplain. They’re not the sort of hardware you would see anywhere unless you knew where to look as they are usually underground which is also an issue with their web profile. As with many companies we have a lot of success with unique trade keywords and geographical location, so for example if you Google “sewage pumping stations in Kent” our client is page one,...

google boolean searches

More accurate Google searches – the Boolean way using ‘search operators’ and symbols

We’ve been aware of Boolean searches for some time but we thought it would be a good bit of research for our website design clients to investigate how to improve search results using Google. A Boolean search is the same as any search you carry out on Google but by using the Boolean technique it is possible to create a hybrid search that delivers more accurate results. Here’s an example: you know roughly what you want but can’t remember the exact word or phrase so you can insert ‘*’ (asterisks) to act as a wild card. Google then tries to match the missing word(s) a * saved is a *...

Spy in the cab website in the fast lane (update)

The tachograph has been euphemistically called the ‘the spy in the cab’ for years but did you know it was originally used on trains? The Daniel Tachometer was used on railways in 1844 and in 1985 tachographs were mandatory throughout the EEC for commercial trucks. I’m not saying that Faversham based Operator Compliance owner Clive Glaze has been specialising in Tachograph Analysis since 1844 but he certainly packs in the knowledge with over 20 years in the business. As an existing client we offered Clive a ‘like-for-like’ conversion to a Google mobile friendly ‘responsive’ website design last year (2015) through our regular client newsletters. With the transport trade mostly using...

askew google search

Using Google and searches with strange results!

Google has built into its algorithm some fun tricks (if you’re a nerds like us) to pass the long web designing hours away. It’s nice to know Google has a sense of humor (don’t mention tax) as well as being the UK’s top search engine. Did you know that if your search Google for ‘askew‘ the results page is askew? Or “do a barrel roll“, the entire page rotates? Try these as well: “Zerg Rush“, “Anagram” and one for St Valentines day “(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(200x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(9-x^2), -sqrt(9-x^2)” More Google tricks Anne Witton explains some more Google search tricks that make this search engine the best in the world
