SEO at spareday
Start a new website in the right order.
SEO for a brand new website means doing the first months of work in the order that gets a business found soonest, while the site builds a history with Google.
Broad searches usually take months for a new site. Your business name and narrow searches, such as a specific job in a specific suburb, can come sooner, and the free Google profile often brings the first enquiries. spareday sets up that order from the start.
What is realistic
What a new site can rank for first.
Established sites in your market have years of visits, reviews and mentions, which takes time to match.
- Your business name
- Often quickly, once the site and profile are live.
- Narrow, specific searches
- A particular job in a particular suburb.
- Broad terms
- Months, and nothing reliably shortens that.
How it works
The order for the first months.
The Google profile can appear on the map soon after verification, long before the site ranks broadly.
- The Google profile, verified and complete
- Categories, services, hours and real photos.
- Reviews from the first customers
- Asked of every customer, at the time.
- One page per job you do
- Written for what people actually type.
- Places that already know you
- Suppliers, associations and clubs that can list or link to you.
- Look at what is there
- Your site, your Google profile and what people search.
- Agree the scope
- What will be done first, and why.
- Do the work
- Written, fixed and checked on a real phone.
- Check and report
- What changed, in plain words.
Before you decide
Avoid two common mistakes.
Changing page addresses after launch makes Google start again on those pages, so the structure is settled first. Buying links to hurry things along can set a new site back further than waiting. Nobody can promise rankings or a date.
You own the pages and website we build, in your business's name. Ongoing work is agreed in the scope.

A few practical details
Before we get started.
How long until a new site ranks?
Your name and narrow searches can come within weeks. Broad terms usually take months.
Where do the first enquiries come from?
Often the Google profile, which can show on the map soon after it is verified.
Should we buy links to speed it up?
No. Bought links can harm a new site and take longer to undo than the wait they were meant to avoid.
