First page of Google

Google certainly biases results at the country level, so I suspect that in the USA that google locates deeper than just country.

I'm currently away from my home area. Just did a product search on my laptop while connected over wifi. When I go to the "Shopping results" page, right at the very top Google says my location... at least what it assumes my location to be via the information it gleans from the connection. In this instance it is perhaps a suburb or two off. When I'm at home, it puts me in Columbus, which is 100 miles away...

From reading several responses about being listed on the first page in your area, I wonder if there is some background identification going on to give you local results - like Google knowing who your ISP is by your address and returning localized results first??

That's why I said to do the same search on a different computer. Google will tailor it's results to each individual searcher based upon what has been clicked on in the past.

I just checked google for my company and found that we're on the first page of google. I'm spending under $100/month through a local web advertising firm. That's all that I would spend, and I couldn't justify spending any more to move to the top of the page. 10 grand a month is ludicris, if you had money laying around and did this, the next year it will be more and seems to me some of the "Emperors new clothes" logic.

P.S. Not matter how many hits, how many people visit your site it doesn't equate to work.

Well, I just googled 'Rocklin California electric' and your site was no where to be found.

It appears your competition fared better:

I have no doubt that your computer shows you on the first page. That's how Google works. It bases the search results on what is most relevant by looking at info stored on your computer.

Its content. I google commercial electrician in my area today and I'm right there 1st page on Google, Yahoo, and Bing engines. Sometimes 2nd page but mostly first. I don't do any resi so I don't want the calls. Its knowing how you want to be found and gearing the content to match that and you have to keep up with it and change it around. I'm no expert but this is what I have found works.

Just curious, which one are you?
