Google Search Tips & Tricks to search better!
Start simple
Start by entering a basic name or word. If you’re looking f or a place or product in a specif ic
location, enter the name along with the town or number. f or example you want to f ind contact
number of a dubai company. then type f or ex: marketing companies dubai 04 contact number will
come up in search results. easy and simple to search
Ignore spelling
Google’s spell checker automatically def aults to the most common spelling of a given word,
whether or not you spell it correctly. Remember school dictations? Google thankf ully isnt so strict
here on spelling order.
Use descriptive words
The more unique the word, the more likely you are to get relevant results. Keep in mind though,
that even if the word has the correct meaning, if it’s not the one most people use, it may not
match the pages you need. Use http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml which can help
get more ideas f or your words.
Search with an exact phrase
Put quotation marks around words “[marketing in dubai]“ to search f or an exact phrase in an
exact order. Keep in mind that searching with quotes might exclude relevant results. For instance,
a search f or “Mobile Development” will miss pages that ref er to Mobile App Development.
Include or ignore words and characters in your search
Hate irrelevant searches? You can also use the minus – sign to specif y particular items you don’t
want in your results, like ingredients in a recipe. For example search f or Advertising companies in
dubai and dont want job results then you search can be Advertising companies in dubai -
jobs this means it will show results with no jobs sites
Use web friendly words
Search f or words that are most likely to appear on pages will yield the best results. For example,
instead of saying my neck hurts, say neck pain, because that’s the term a medical website
would use. think what most people use.
Less is more
Simple, one or two word search terms will usually give you the broadest results. Start with short
search terms, then ref ine your results by adding more words.
Don’t worry about cases or punctuations
Search isn’t case sensitive. A search f or dubai seo company the same as a search f or Dubai
Seo Company. Search ignores punctuation. This includes @#%^*()=[] and other special
characters.
