One Page Website - SEO London

CAN I DO A ONE PAGE WEBSITE? - SEO LONODN

HOW MANY WEBSITE PAGES DO I NEED?

So. when I get a new client they are usually asking me why they 're website is not ranking in Google.

One of the most common issues I find is that their website does not have enough pages. And then they ask "How many pages do I need?" 

Well that does depend. I do know that more equals more and achieves better results, but what is the minimum no of web page you need?

HOW MANY WEBSITE PAGES DO YOU NEED?

Yeah, so generally I tell my clients they need a minumum of 6 pages and a blog page to rank. 

And that each page needs to focus on a minimum of x number of keywords,  with images and additional content.

BUT DO I KNOW THIS FOR SURE?
Well in short no? All I Know is Google loves content and the more content you have the better your page/s and or website will rank.

SO I DECIDED TO TEST IT OUT
So initially I set up a one page wbsite for my name "Zach Mendelsohn". I thought there are quite a few websites and people using Zach Mendelsohn as a keyword and that would be a simple and easy benchmark. to follow.

I mean, if I can't rank highly for my own name then surely there is proof in the theory and I have evidenced this with practice (nearly said pudding then).

ONE PAGE ZACH MENDELSOH WEBSITE
You can see it here https://zachmendelsohn.weebly.com/

So it took nearly 3 weeks for Google to pick it up in searches (search results) despite me linking to it.

And is now only on page 3 of Google.

NOT THE BEST START UP
Usually my page would be picked up within 48hrs bu not this one. 3 weeks.........!

SO I ADDED A GOOGLE BUSINESS LISTING (NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE)
Not sure whether this helped or was the main reason why I got listed, but I have now linked this account with Google Business.  ​Best SEO London

Interestingly this webpage is now No.1 in Bing Search Engine.

It appears Google is a bit more disconcerning! And is much further down the list. 

WILL SOCIAL MEDIA HELP?
So that has not stopped me!

I have used existing accounts and created new social media channels to link to this new website.

And I have basically thrown everything at it.

So will a  one page ZACH MENDELSOHN website rank highly in Google?

SEO RESULTS THUS FAR
Results are ongoing but they do seem to back up my and other peoples theories.

WHICH IS: That you need more than one wesbite page to rank highly in Google. 

HOWEVER
Results were not as bad as I expected though and I hope to update you on further improvements.

UPDATE
It has just made it into page one, at the bottom of the list in position 9. With all the effort and linking I would coclude Google does not like one page websites. Unless it is it's own business.site page. WHich has faired much better but still not great.
