Factors that affect organic search rankings:

When Google decides where your website will rank, they look at more than just the search term appearing on the page. Google’s algorithm looks at the overall user experience, specifically five different elements.

This breaks down into:

  • The site’s navigation – do the pages connect easily and logically?
  • Page readability – are the webpages easy to read, clear and understandable?
  • Site speed – does the website load quickly?
  • Graphics and images – do the pages feature images and graphics?
  • The page’s mobile friendliness – does your website still work well on mobile devices?

It may be difficult to get to the top of Google's search results after meeting these requirements, it’s nearly impossible to get close without them.
