How do you get to that valuable first position that brings in a lot of clients? What methods can you use to improve your position on Google Search Engine and how to launch your business into a market leadership position?

Google search engine is extremely popular with users and is actually the starting point from which every adventure of internet users begins. Whether searching for a product, service, or something else, the user is likely to first search for it through Google search. The data shows that

The first gold position is worth it

When looking at the results that Google displays after typing in a particular term, we are already accustomed to showing 2–3 advertisements in the first positions, or paid AdWords campaign ads. Interestingly, over time, users have learned to subconsciously skip such ads, and rarely do they click on the ad. Recent research shows that only a few percent (2–4%) of people click on an ad, and most users immediately go to the first relevant organic result in Google searches.

The first position on Google search engine brings in as much as 35 percent of clicks from users searching for something on Google, and with each subsequent position, the percentage of people who click on a search result decreases. For example, only 17 percent of people will click on the second result, 12 percent on the third, etc. We believe that you now understand why it is important to be first on Google search engine.

But this is not the end of the story, because the first position on Google search engine is free. So, the first, and every subsequent position on Google will not cost you anything, the moment you manage to reach it. This is much better and longer-term, unlike the huge amount of money spent on paid advertising through various digital channels, where the effect of new customer arrivals ceases when the money ceases to pay for advertising.
