Understanding Google in 2015
Google's job is to return, for any given search query, the most relevant and trusted web pages
It is constantly changing to become better at this and to avoid those trying to cheat it
Your job is to make it easy for Google to put your web page in the top 10

Where do you start?
If you want to rank Google page 1 for a specific search query then start by making your website one of the best 10 websites in the UK for that phrase
![Page 12: SEO for Google in 2015. Hello I'm Dave Taylor from Webmedia.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bffc1a28abf838cc1d2e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example.. 'kitchen worktop maintenance'
I crafted this client website (especially home page) around that phrase
![Page 13: SEO for Google in 2015. Hello I'm Dave Taylor from Webmedia.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bffc1a28abf838cc1d2e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Look..at the top 20 organic ranking sites for your target phrase
Is your site one of the 10 best?

I hear you ask..
“but how do I know which phrase to target?”
The answer is keyword research

You can't just target the phrase with the highest search volume....
You have to consider competitor analysis

Choosing the right keyword phrase(s) to target is critical. Do not rush. It can take weeks
