You can fool Google, Proceed at Your Own Risk

Our engagement with Position1SEO a couple of years ago has left us in a position where we feel compelled to share our experience, hoping to prevent others from facing similar setbacks. As a business seeking to enhance our online presence through SEO, our expectations were straightforward: ethical practices, tangible results, and a partnership that would foster growth. Regrettably, our experience was far from these expectations, leading us to strongly advise against utilising Position1SEO for search engine optimisation needs.

Unethical Practices and Black Hat SEO Techniques: Our journey with Position1SEO unveiled a reliance on black hat SEO techniques, which not only failed to deliver sustainable results but also inflicted long-term damage on our digital footprint. The company's strategy centered around the creation and dissemination of low-quality, repetitive content across single-page websites, establishing a network of backlinks that were later identified as toxic by leading industry software and SEO experts. This approach not only contradicted Google's guidelines but also jeopardized our website's credibility and search engine rankings.

Counterproductive Content Strategies: Further exacerbating the situation was the introduction of content on our website that directly competed with existing material, effectively cannibalizing our efforts rather than complementing them. This issue emerged over a year into our collaboration and only came to light after we voiced our concerns, revealing a fundamental lack of foresight and strategy in their approach to content creation and SEO.

Empty Promises and Minimal Effort: In response to our dissatisfaction, Position1SEO ceased billing us, promising to work for free until they fulfilled their initial promises. However, this gesture proved to be more symbolic than substantive, as the continued efforts were minimal and, by their own standards, still toxic. This arrangement left us in a standstill, where no financial burden was incurred, yet no progress was made, effectively stalling any potential growth or recovery for our business.

Conclusion: Our experience with Position1SEO serves as a stark reminder that shortcuts and unethical practices in SEO can have dire consequences. Their strategy to "fool Google" is not only flawed but also detrimental in the long run, as search engines have become increasingly adept at identifying and penalizing such tactics. We learned the hard way that integrity, quality, and adherence to best practices in SEO are non-negotiables for sustainable success.

To those considering Position1SEO for their SEO needs, we advise you to proceed with caution, or better yet, seek alternatives that prioritise ethical practices. The allure of quick results should not overshadow the importance of building a credible and enduring online presence.

Reply from Position1SEO

Whilst we always welcome feedback we were obviously extremely disappointed to receive your review, especially as the reasons your site rankings have declined since you started doing the SEO yourself in-house 18 months ago, has nothing whatsoever to do with our work.

But also because you do not mention that you lost almost all your rankings and were penalised by Google 6 months prior to us ever working together, after an update specifically targeting the spam links and poor content you had already put in place and now instead suggest this is due to something we did.

Yet even with these massive pre-existing issues we still delivered exceptional results, with your high competition primary target keyphrase hitting position 4 on page 1 within 3 cycles of work, as we said it would.
And when we started doing free work, as per our cast iron guarantee, it was not because you had lost the excellent rankings we had delivered, it was because your primary target had not gone from position 4 on page 1 into the top 3 within just the next 6 weeks.

I think it's also really important to point out that as soon as we found your review we immediately reached out to offer our expertise for Free, to try to help you get your SEO efforts back on track but unfortunately you have chosen not to respond to our communications.
And to also be crystal clear, we do not use any black hat SEO methods and never have, for you or anyone else.

Your constant slow decline in rankings month after month since you stopped working with us and started doing your SEO yourself in-house 18 months ago has nothing whatsoever to do with our work and even just looking at any ranking graph will instantly demonstrate that.
When you are penalised by Google for black hat SEO work, your rankings fall off a cliff, like yours did 6 months before working with us.

Instead of showing this your ranking graph over the last 18 months has just been a constant slow decline because your in-house SEO efforts have done nothing to address how Google now works.
You are still using a completely outdated methodology of building links, writing blogs & using popular tools to blindly copy the mistakes of competitors.
And every update Google roll out you just get further and further behind, as they continue to change the weighting of their algorithm more and more towards these factors.

Google has fundamentally changed beyond all recognition during the last 18 months and if you make no effort to change with them in all the below areas, as you haven't, then you will see a slow terminal decline of your rankings, as you have.

You can't any longer just target a few transactional high search volume keyphrases that you feel are good for your business.
Instead you need to now provide Google with an encyclopaedic knowledge of an entire subject matter, including all related synonyms.
Especially when you are in the health sector, as you are, and the YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) algorithm is going to have such a significant impact on authority.
Had you still been working with us, you would have seen us solve all of these issues for you.

We sincerely wish you the very best with your SEO efforts but if you want your in-house SEO to succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to immediately begin addressing all of the above factors that you have not done any work on in the last 18 months, rather than blame some backlinks, including the ones you were actually penalised for more than 6 months before ever working with us.

A successful collaboration with this SEO agency

Following a rebrand and a new website being built by another so called expert, we lost all our rankings. We contacted Position 1 to try to sort out the mess and we couldn;t be happier with the results.It would have been great to avoid all the problems Position 1 fixed but I can not thank them enough for fully recovering our online disaster.

The best value from our money

I was facing a difficult situation with my site not being indexed for months and not receiving any solution from other companies. I feel solucky to have found Jason and his team at Position1. They analysed and solved all the issues and Jason really stands out not only for his expertise but also for his genuine care for making recommendations that are best for us and making sure we get the best value from our money.

A remarkable company that enables website to get back on its feet through superb SEO service.s

We used Position1 to help us modernise our website because it had become dated. They not only completely redesigned our website, but also assisted us for several months in compiling and analysing data related to our SEO standing. They assisted us in determining where we needed to be more active and where our internet presence generated the most website traffic.

We interviewed a total of four marketing organisation in the region, and this seo agency was by far the best. Their highly skilled team offered strategies, reports, and support to every member of our internal team for any problems we had.

A great company that specialises in SEO for small businesses

We decided to get the assistance of position one to enhance our website and get more traffic. They zeroed in on the biggest issues within days and we've seen the much-improved performance since then. We know they have much bigger clients than us but their team's knowledge of small business seo and constant support has increased our traffic, which is why we did this.

Top notch website improvements and maintenance

The team also helped to improve our website design and always get things done. If I need help with something, I can always ask them. Our sales have gone up since we started to work with them and even though our industry has grown in kast few years, I'd say that we've gained a bigger share than our competitors because of their work

Working with this team has resulted in doubled business growth year over year.

We wanted to build a distinctive website that represents who we are and improved our capabilities to grow leads and sales.
I wrongly thought they were just a top seo agency but the website they built with fresh content, photos, and design was exactly what we were looking for. And it worked because thanks to there lead generation work, our business has doubled in size year over year. We have no complaints and couldn’t be happier with how our business has grown.

Highly responsive and excellent SEO work overall

Ive been happy with how far we have come in a short time. They have been very responsive to my questions and have kept every promise they made to me. It can be hard to know who to trust but so far everything has been going well. I would definitely recommend them if asked

Amazing collaboration experience

We wanted to increase the number of people searching for information on our website and filling out forms. They not only improved the overall design of our website but they also helped with banners to improve conversions.

This has been instrumental in our recent success and having worked with other companies previously we are well aware of how hard it is to find genuine specialists in this area.

We can not only see the difference in the rankings, we have seen a substantial increase in the number of people using our site and submitting forms. Could not fault any part of their service or the results.

Comprehensive SEO tactics

We used position 1 seo to assist us as our website grew. We had already done some work but wanted to take everything to the next level to increase traffic, climb the ranks, and find new clients. They first provided a comprehensive analysis covering everything from content & link-building, to website structure and performance issues. They then created a number of new pages following their project blueprint and did loads of other work for which they provided in-depth reports but if I'm honest would admit that I didn't completely understand all of them. What I do know for sure is whatever they did worked. We have a constant flow of new leads and in less than 6 months the work has already paid for itself many times over.
