In working with Family Law clients they often want to check and see how our search engine optimization services are helping their search rankings.
It seems easy do to. Go to Google and perform a search (i.e. Collaborative Divorce Minnetonka) and then count down through each search result until you arrive at the result for your site. Easy, right? Well not exactly, there is a catch. Google will rank your site higher if you have visited your site recently. This means that your search results may look better than they actually are.
How to get an accurate ranking
To get an accurate ranking, you need to delete your browsing history. How you delete your browsing history is dependent on your browser.
For Firefox go to Tools, and then click on delete recent browsing history.
For Internet Explorer, go to tools, delete browsing history, click on the radio boxes labeled Temporary Internet files and browsing history.
Warning
Sometimes you may not want to delete your browsing history. For example, when you type in a partial address of a website that you have been to recently, the browser will help you fill in the full address. The browser does this by looking at your browsing history. If the browsing history is deleted you will not get that benefit.
