There's nothing like the smell of a shiny new testimonial. Here is a recent review that was added to my Google Business profile last week. The actual issue was sorted out a couple of weeks ago.

Hey, I am at the top of Google!

Let's have a quick show of hands:

Do you regularly type in your main keyphrase to see where you are ranking?

And where are you in that list? Are you at the top?

Wow, go you! 👏

OK, keep your hand up if you are getting constant enquiries to your website, sales or even phone calls?

Bummer. 😬

Let me explain what might have happened.

Being at the top of Google doesn't necessarily mean you're at the top of everyone else's Google. Google doesn't simply show everyone exactly the same results. Your search results can be influenced by things such as your location, your search history and the device you're using.

And if you've searched for your own business dozens of times, Google has a pretty good idea that you're interested in it! 🙇

So you might be seeing your website sitting proudly at number 1…while your potential customers are seeing something completely different.

And there's another problem: Ranking for a keyphrase is only useful if that keyphrase is actually bringing the right people to your website.

You could be number 1 and get very few enquiries, or you could be number 5 and have a steady stream of people contacting you.

So instead of constantly Googling yourself and celebrating that little number 1…
look at what really matters.

👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Are people finding you?
🖱️Are they clicking?
☎️ Are they contacting you?
🎯And, most importantly… Are they becoming customers?

Because being number 1 on Google might look impressive.

But being number 1 in your customers' minds is what really pays your bills. 💸

Hello everyone, I am Deb

For anyone who hasn't met me in person, here's a little introduction: I am Deb Harrison and I am the web designer and search marketing consultant for DVH Design.

I started DVH Design way back in 2000 while I was already working full-time as a Sales Administrator at a software company. the year before I had been made redundant and knew I didn't want to be a secretary for all of my career. It was actually my now ex-husband who gave me the idea: I was good with colours and design and this was around the time of Windows 98.

My first stop was a day course in Microsoft FrontPage (imagine Wix as a software platform). DVH Design launched at the end of 2000 as a part-time company.

The following year, I fell pregnant with my daughter. I knew I wasn't going to go back working for someone else full-time, so I not only started preparing for the baby but also the new business. FrontPage had got me through the first year and first couple of gigs, but even I was beginning to see its limitations.

So my first maternity leave was spent reading a Teach yourself HTML and CSS in 21 days. I got through the book in 8 months.

I got into SEO at the start of 2005, on the same basis: One of my early clients employed the services of a black hat marketer (somebody who could game Google into the #1 position). I then added this as a service

DVH Design went full-time in 2014 then the children were about high school age.

Since then, I have got to grips with most of the popular E-commerce and CMS platforms, responsive web design and how to keep ahead of Google forever moving the goal posts. I have also taken to networking face-to-face which was a case of "grabbing the bull by the horns."

We had a major rebrand in 2019 and are still evolving. This year we have started to offer AI chat bots and callers, ensuring our clients do not miss those all-important leads while they are working.

I now live in Colchester with my boyfriend, our 3 dogs, 2 Leopard Geckos and a Corn Snake. In my spare time, I go running and go to festivals and gigs. I also love travelling, fancy dress, gardening and Lego and WWE are my guilty pleasures.

So that's all about me, I would love to get to know all of you better as well. Please comment below, even if it's just to say Hi.

Warning: This message contains a C word.

I know! Not often do I resort to such strong language, especially on LinkedIn, but this one needs to be said:

I am of course referring to….. Christmas 🎅🎁⛄🎄

It's ok, I'm cross at myself as well. We are in the middle of a heatwave and I lower the tone with a festivity that's under half a year away. There's probably also a few of you would have preferred me to say the 🤬 word.

With Harrods opening their Christmas shop 4 days ago, you can't deny that shoppers are already starting to browse and shop ready for the festivities. This is normally a good time to start planning campaigns and getting stock ordered and ready.

This way you can catch both the organised Christmas shoppers (we all know one) and the last minutes dot com.

If you're in a team, it's also worth planning for Christmas holidays and cover, so you have a game plan in place long before Michael Buble has finished defrosting.

If anyone would like to see it, I have included a 2026 Harrods Christmas shop link in the comments.
