5 Simple Ways to Improve Your Google Ranking This Month

Oct 8

If your business isn’t showing up on Google, you’re missing out on ready-to-book customers. The good news? You don’t need a massive budget to improve your visibility — just a few smart steps and some consistency.

Here are 5 simple ways to boost your Google ranking this month:

1. Optimize Your Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is your local SEO powerhouse. Add updated photos, respond to reviews, and post updates weekly.
👉 Tip: Include service-based keywords in your posts like “Chiropractic Care in Carnegie” or “Therapist in South Hills.”

2. Refresh Your Website Content

Google rewards fresh, relevant content. Review your website pages and blog — add updated service details, new testimonials, and current keywords that match what your patients or clients are searching for.
🔍 Example: Instead of “chiropractic services,” use “family chiropractor near Pittsburgh” or “back pain relief in McDonald.”

3. Speed Up Your Site

A slow site can tank your SEO. Run a quick test using PageSpeed Insights and fix anything slowing it down.
💡 In Squarespace, compress large images and limit animations or videos that autoplay.

4. Get Consistent with Social Media

Google looks at engagement signals across the web. Regular, branded posts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn help your business appear active and relevant.
Bonus: Those posts often show up in search results, especially if your profile links back to your website.

5. Add New Blog Posts (Like This One!)

Each blog gives Google one more reason to visit your site — and it adds keywords naturally. Focus on topics your audience is searching for:

“How to find the best chiropractor near me”
“What to expect during EMDR therapy”
“Marketing trends for Pittsburgh small businesses”
