Yes! There are many local and international businesses competing for the top Google rankings using the same keywords as your business or blog. The pages on page 1 of Google for your relevant search terms are probably from businesses that have worked with a reputable SEO agency in Adelaide at some point.
But don’t worry. Starting your SEO campaign later than your competitors doesn’t mean you can’t catch up. Google scans pages and updates how it ranks content to serve its users better.
Google doesn’t favour websites just because they have been on top of the search engine results pages for weeks or months. It displays pages that will serve its users (Google search users) best. To get ahead of your competition you need to have a website strategy that’s more relevant than theirs.
