Google rewards websites that put people first - simple as that

Google’s number one goal? 


To help people find the most useful, relevant answers to their questions - fast. 


If your website isn’t making that easy, no amount of clever SEO wizardry will get you to the top of the search results.


The Real Secret: Be Helpful First


You can tinker with meta tags and page speed all day, but if your site doesn’t have clear, helpful pages that answer what your customers are actually searching for, you’ll always be fighting an uphill battle.


Google rewards websites that put people first - simple as that.


Why One Page Per Service or Product?

  • Direct answers win: If someone’s looking for “emergency tree surgeon in Essex” and you’ve got a dedicated page for that, written in plain English, you’re far more likely to show up than if all your services are lumped together.


  • No jargon, just real talk: Your customers aren’t searching for “bespoke relocation logistics solutions” — they want “house removal company in Essex” or “help moving home.” Use the words your clients actually use, not industry buzzwords.


  • Build trust: A dedicated page lets you explain exactly what you do, how you help, and answer common questions or worries. That’s reassuring for both Google and your potential clients.

What Makes a Page Truly Useful?


  • Clear language: Write as if you’re having a conversation with a real person, not a robot 🤝


  • Answer real questions: Think about the queries your customers ask on the phone or by email. Address them on your page!


  • Show proof: Include reviews, case studies, or examples where possible. Social proof goes a long way.



  • Easy navigation: Make it simple for visitors to find the page they need, without hunting around.

Final Thought


Google isn’t looking for trickery - it’s looking for genuinely helpful, relevant content.


If you make it easy for your customers to find what they need (and speak their language), you’ll make it easy for Google to rank you higher too.


P.S. If you’re not sure what your customers are searching for, just ask them! Their words are SEO gold.
