Is squarespace the reason for number 1? I’m starting a complete over haul of my web site. I started with the free version of dudaone, I will go to the paid version soon, if I like it.

So I guess I’m asking does it matter what service you get a website through, as far as ranking in Google.

I don’t feel like doing a lot of web seo stuff, because I don’t know much about it yet. As obsessive as I can get, I know I will go down a few rabbit holes that will waste so much time.

I’m pretty sure as long as you have your own URL it doesn’t matter who is hosting as far as set goes. Some hosting sites that are build your own site will host it on their own URL. So for example instead of powerblade.com it would be powerblade@hostsite.com. In that case it’s their site that would recieve ranking points and not yours.

As for ranking in local maps, it’s different than ranking organically. With Google maps I’m pretty sure you now have to reside in the local area where you want to rank or be the closest one or in the top number of sites listed in terms of distance from the search. Also one of the biggest factors is reviews. The more reviews you have the better you will rank. Reviews are definately key.

When you say reviews… Do you mean google reviews? How would google reviews help you on for say Yahoo or Bing? Thanks

Yes Google reviews. I’m not sure about Google reviews translating into helping on Yahoo or bing but I would imagine it’s the same for those sites. You would probably want to have yahoo and Bing reviews but I don’t know.
