Hi,
I have never come across this before and it has completely thrown me.
I am helping a web site owner with SEO. I live in kent UK and the we company offers services in manchester UK So we are about 200 miles apart. The website was created in Manchester. I have been doing seo work and putting up blog posts down here in Kent. It has been up for about 5 months.
On Saturday I was trying a few keywords for this solar panel company and I tried putting into Google “solar panels installation”. I was shocked and overjoyed to see it no.1 on page 1 of Google. I emailed the company to let them know.
However on monday I was talking to my brother on skype explaining to him a little about how google works etc and I took this site as an example. I brought it up in google on my computer and there it was at no.1 page 1. But my brother said it was nowhere to be seen on google!. I was mortified. we checked, double checked, took out capitals etc but it still did not show. Yet as many times as i wanted to bring it up here in Kent there it was at page 1.
Today i rang the site owner to see if they could see it but no, it was not there. yet if i bring it up here in Kent, there it is No.1.
So I am really confused. Because this site is not national there is a lot of use of localised long tail keywords such as solar pnels manchester etc and I know google does odd things with localization etc - ie. it will attempt to bring up stuff that is particular to the localization in your area. But this doesn’t make sense as it is the complete opposite of that principal! (:
Can anyone help me with this.
your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
The web site by the way is
