At the top and side of the page, there are additional links to websites which are called sponsored listings (<a title=\"PPC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/pay-per-click-campaign-management-in-houston.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PPC.<\/a>) Depending on the nature and regionalization of each search, a Google map may also appear at the top or in the middle of the page with a number of business links beside it as well.<\/p>\n<p>This comprises the basic search engine result page for a key phrase\/key word query in the most active search engine, Google. (Google still holds about 65% of all search engine traffic to this date.)<\/p>\n<p>There are separate methods for ensuring that your business is displayed in these various parts of the search result page. At Directory One, we can assist you in appearing in all three portions of this display. However, in discussing natural SEO, there is a long list of methods that must be employed in order to obtain these &#8220;free&#8221; listings above your competition.<\/p>\n<p>It is common for these organic listings to be more highly trusted as people generally believe that the companies that show up on the first 1-3 pages of the natural listings in Google are there because of being the most active and popular listings, rather than being listings that are paid for or &#8220;forced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Google works hard to ensure that these listings are not forced onto the front page by companies that are not actually credible and has provided a small list of ways that businesses may optimize their website in order to appear on these pages.<\/p>\n<p>Some key phrases are more competitive than others, however, and simply following in line with this small list of methods will not be enough to reach the front page, or at least, it may take a great deal of time and effort to both thoroughly comprehend the ways in which to implement the Google suggestions, as well as in the act of the implementation itself.<\/p>\n<p>Contact the Directory One professionals at 713-465-0051 to receive the technical assistance you need from an experienced team that knows all of the ins and outs in getting your site to climb up the list in the organic search engine listings through <a title=\"seo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/articles\/houston-search-engine-marketing-and-advertising-company.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SEO<\/a> methods that have been proven to work and that are continuously updated as Google makes its 300-400 changes in algorithm patterns each year.<\/p>\n<p>We will be happy to work with you toward achieving a cost-effective solution for marketing your business online using organic search engine optimization and other means of Internet advertising as would be most appropriate for your business, your target audience and your industry.<\/p>\n<p>Additional Resources:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Key Phrase Analysis Packages\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/blog\/key-phrase-analysis-packages.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Key Phrase Analysis Packages<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Search Engine Optimization Pricing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/blog\/search-engine-optimization-pricing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Search Engine Optimization Pricing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Strategically Position Your Company\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/blog\/strategically-position-your-company-for-maximum-exposure.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strategically Position Your Company for Maximum Exposure<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Developing an Online Presence\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/blog\/developing-an-online-presence.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Developing an Online Presence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houston SEO Firm, Directory One, is the leader in Houston, Texas for providing exceptional search engine optimization services.&nbsp; We have been helping businesses with their advertising and marketing needs for more than 20 years and have remained in business through these decades by providing integrity-based services to all of our client companies.
