Why Google Ranking = Business Growth

Did you know that over 30% of all e-commerce sales come from organic Google searches? And that doesn’t just apply to online stores. Brick-and-mortar businesses also benefit tremendously from strong search rankings.

Whether you’re a local business or a national brand, showing up on page one of Google’s organic results consistently delivers more qualified leads and conversions than paid ads, social media, Yelp, or nearly any other marketing channel.

That’s why search engine optimization (SEO) is no longer optional, but it’s essential.

Why SEO Still Wins in 2025

Google’s algorithm evolves constantly, but one thing hasn’t changed. Users trust organic results. Appearing on page one (especially in the top 3 positions) is critical because:

  • 75% of users never scroll past the first page
  • Organic listings receive 10x more clicks than paid ads on average
  • Local businesses in the top 3 positions get 44% of clicks

Still not ranking? The good news is SEO doesn’t have to be complicated and it just needs to be consistent, strategic, and guided by data.

Step-by-Step: How to Assess Your Google Ranking

1. Make a List of Keywords

Start by listing keywords and phrases your potential customers might use to find you. Think beyond brand terms include questions, location-based searches, and problem-solving queries.

Example:
 Instead of just “plumber,” try:

  • “24-hour plumber in Las Vegas”
  • “leaky faucet repair near me”
  • “affordable plumbing service for condos”

Use free tools like Google Autocomplete, Ubersuggest, or AnswerThePublic to expand your list. 

2. Search Your Keywords Manually

Open an incognito browser window and Google each keyword. Ignore ads and map results and just count the organic listings.

Each page has 10 results. If your business appears third on page three, you rank #23. If you don’t see your site at all in the top 5 pages, you may not be ranking for that term.

3. Evaluate Your SEO Performance

Now that you know your rankings, ask yourself:

  • Are you getting leads and conversions from these keywords?
  • Are you showing up for terms your competitors rank for?
  • Are some keywords performing great while others flop?

You might be unknowingly targeting low-volume “ego keywords” that don’t convert or missing out on high-value ones your customers are actively searching.

4. Analyze Your Competitors

Find the businesses ranking above you and analyze their websites:

  • How often do they publish content?
  • Do they use clear calls to action?
  • Is their site fast and mobile-friendly?

Google favors relevant, trustworthy content and rewards authority. If your competitors have more informative blogs, better backlink profiles, or faster websites, that’s likely why they rank higher.

5. Identify SEO Gaps and Opportunities

Ranking 28th for “best falafel” may sting but if that phrase only gets 20 searches per month while “Mediterranean food near me” gets 2,000, where should you focus?

A professional SEO audit reveals:

  • Keywords with high ROI potential
  • Broken links or redirect issues
  • Content gaps competitors are filling
  • Technical issues dragging your site down
