More often than not, a potential customer begins their search for your guide service on Google. Are they going to find you?

Contrary to a lot of promises out there to get you On Page One of Google Results, there is no magic button to put you on top of everyone else. If it were that easy, everyone would be on page one at the top — which obviously isn’t possible. But with a little work, you can climb the ranks and boost your Google rankings.

Quite simply, the more news you have out there for Google to share, the more you become Google’s favorite.

The best way to improve your rankings is to post, post, post and post more. Quite simply, the more news you have out there for Google to pick up, the more you become Google’s favorite. That’s because Google is in the business of giving their customers the best, most relevant, most current information out there. With that said, if you haven’t posted anything new to your Guide Site in a couple months, Google loses touch with you and moves on to the next guide.   

Yes, we're all busy and sometimes keeping your website updated is not a high priority. We hear you. And if people were going on to Google and searching, ‘Best Guides that are too busy to keep their website updated,’ it wouldn’t be an issue.

So how do you stay on top without investing hours at the keyboard every week? Think about it this way, if you were on the other side of the keyboard and looking for you, what would you type in to Google? You would probably start with searches like: Fish reports on Lake X; Best baits on Lake X; Fishing tips for Lake X; Guides on Lake X.

If your site isn’t answering these searches with relevant, current information, Google isn’t offering you up as a solution. Be the answer and boost your Google Rankings.

Top 5 Ways To Boost Your Rankings For A Better Guide Website.

1. Post Fish Reports. You don’t have to give away all your secrets, just let people know the bite is on. Could be as simple as: Lake X is hot right now with a good top-water bite in the morning and moving to the pads on the south end when the sun starts heating up. Omega 1/2 oz. Flipping Jigs in June Bug and Nichols Lures Chatter Elite in Bluegill are tough to beat. Offer up a little info, pimp your sponsors, and end with a link to Book Your Trip Today.
2. Post tips and Techniques. Again, you don’t have to give away all your secrets, just share some knowledge. Millions of people are out there right now wondering how they can catch more bass. Help them.
3. Top 5 List. Like this list, post your top 5 baits for the season. Added benefit — your sponsors love when you include them in these lists (smile).
4. Trip Recaps. Share success stories from recent trips with lots of smiling clients with big bass.  
5. Pictures. Pictures are key. People love seeing and sharing big fish pictures. Be sure to include pictures in your post and be sure to tag them with your name so the pictures come up in searches and lead back to you.

These can all be done in less than 10 minutes and do wonders for your rankings.
