SEO

Now the good news.

We do not want all 630,000 people who look for "financial advisor" on the Internet. Almost certainly we only want people looking for "financial advisor" in our locality - Enfield for example. The number of searches may be smaller but these are the people we are seeking to attract to our website. Visitors from Enfield are the ones most likely to convert into customers. The competition for "Enfield financial advisor" may be within our reach.

What is achievable in Search Engine Optimization?

What is achievable is high positioning for long-tail keywords.

"Solicitors" is a short-tail keyword. Competition will be enormous and it will not be possible to obtain high ranking.

"Employment law solicitor Enfield" is a long-tail keyword and competition will not be so great. High ranking may be possible.

What is desirable in Search Engine Optimization?

This depends on the objectives of the website owner.

A firm of solicitors in Enfield will probably be happy with traffic from Enfield.
