While we do not typically disclose client rankings for confidentiality reasons, we're happy to show some of the results for our own projects.

How did we do it?
To acquire these rankings, we merely followed the basic principles that we can also apply to your site:
- Create content of value
- Ensure a technically sound website, and keyword friendly content
- "Seed" the content to an audience that is likely to appreciate it - who will also provide high quality links and references
This process is a way to acquire long-term, stable rankings for any website.
A few things we didn't do:
- We didn't pay for links, send any requests for links, use link exchanges or use any other type of link "scheme"
- Create any social presence for the site (we didn't have enough time!)
- Write large volumes of content - the whole site is less than 10 pages
