Ever wonder what makes up the pieces of Google's search results? Before that question can
be answered, the process of how Google delivers results must be understood. There are
three key processes in delivering search engine results.
First, Google "crawls" the World Wide Web and accumulates information about websites and
their content. The program Google uses to accomplish this task is referred to as Googelbot.
Googlebot uses an algorithmic process to determine which sites to crawl, and how many
pages to read from each site. Next Google compiles a massive index of all the words and
locations of the sites it crawled.
When a Google user enters a query, Google returns a result they feel is most relevant. The
results that are displayed are referred to as Snippets. In general, Google reserves the right to
display what they feel is best for their users. However, you have a great deal of control about
what is displayed about your agency on Google.
There are three primary components that make up a Snippet.
Title
The first line of the Snippet is the title. The title displayed comes from the title of your
webpage. We have found many websites where the designer will overlook this very important
step when designing websites for their customers. Webpages not titled will appear in search
results with the title as "Untitled" or "Home Page" which does not encourage the consumer to
click. Whereas a title listing your agency name and a slogan or short concise description of
what your agency offers would encourage the consumer to click and learn more about your
insurance agency.
Description
The description listed by Google typically comes from one of three places.
Open Directory - If for some reason, when Google attempts to "crawl" a site and they are
unable to read it, Google will then sometimes rely on the Open Directory Project, which is
listed at http://www.dmoz.org Within the Page - Sometimes, Google pulls the description from
within the page. Google determines what part of the page it will use so the description gives
some context as to what the page contains. Meta Description Tag - the most preferred
method and where you have the most control of what description is displayed is the Meta
Description Tag which is included in the code of your website. By including a Meta
Description Tag, you have the ability to dictate what is displayed about your site.
Link Displayed
The last component displayed is the link to your website or the page on your website that
meets the searchers' query. Providing a descriptive URL is another key aspect to converting
a searcher. For instance, a URL such as
www.sampleinsurancewebsite.com/page.php?id=5134, doesn't tell the searcher they have
landed in the right spot, whereas a URL such as
www.sampleinsurancewebsite.com/automobile/car_insurance_quote.aspx will.
