Promoting Irish websites on local search engines tag:www.webforge.ie,2008-03-01 18:32:16:/blog/Promoting-Irish-websites-on-local-search-engines 2008-03-01 18:32:16 It is becoming increasingly difficult in competitive keyword segments to rank well on the major search engines. Gone are the days when you can set up a brochure website (a website with a few static pages that don't change over time), even if it is well optimised for search engines, and appear on the first page of the search engine results for your keywords. Local or geographic search can and will help greatly, however.

Smaller websites, with smaller development bugets, may not have the resouces to make sure their site is optimised for Google and other search engines. Consequently, even though they may have the most relevant information on a particular topic, they may not score well in the search engine results pages (SERPs). We look at the Ballinamore Golf Club website as an example.
