Your examples of search engine rankings contain specific geographical areas. Why don't you show just general terms, such as "signing agent"?
I looked up the same key terms with my geographical area, and NotaryPages.com does not rank as well. Why is this, and can I expect to see better results later?

Search Engines and Other Directory Advertising
Your examples of search engine rankings contain specific geographical areas. Why don't you show just general terms, such as "signing agent"?When a signing agency, lender, or title company needs a notary in some county in some state, they search for a signing agent in that county. They do not want to sift through hundreds, perhaps thousands of entries for notaries all over the country.
Many of the directories, as well as signing agencies who charge you to sign up and join their "directory", will advertise on general terms, such as "mobile notary" and "signing agent". This is just an attempt to get notaries to sign up, and does little to attract business for you.
Our intention is to get you, the notary, more business. We believe that if you are successful, we are going to be successful. We plan on being here next year, and for many years to come.
I looked up the same key terms with my geographical area, and NotaryPages.com does not rank as well. Why is this, and can I expect to see better results later?
NotaryPages.com tends to rank well when geographical specifics are combined with mobile notary and signing agent terms, which is how most of the companies seeking closing agents will search. This is assuming, however, that we do in fact have a page up for that particular county. While we do have pages at present for all states, we do not have counties and notaries in every state. You may be found through the directory based on your presence on our directory, as well as the state, but having your county, and your page in particular, shown on the search engine enhances your chances of being found before others.
If you sign up and we create new county pages, you can usually expect these pages, and your web page in particular, to be picked up in 2 to 4 weeks. There is no guarantee, however, when it comes to search engine ranking, or even if and when a search engine will pick up a given page. No one has control over search engine ranking, and, while paid advertising can be bought; higher ranking in the basic search cannot be purchased.
