Top Ten SEO Companies – The Rules

Posted on August 13, 2008 by Paul Steven

Each month we run a little program here at North South Media to pick out the top SEO Companies that are ranked highly for their profession across all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) and score them appropriately according to their position against competitive keyword queries.

This excerise not only shows ourselves who has been pro-actively marketing their site but also allows us to get a better insight on the up-and-coming companies who are just outside the Top Ten and are pushing their way in.

The project was taken from a regional, national and international view point. The regional area chosen was Scotland (it is only right that I run the campaign in my own market place), the national area was the UK.

We at North South Media would welcome your comments and remember we don’t do noFollow – so any comments posted, good or bad, with the exception of spam, will be posted and some link juice along with it.

Below are the rankings for the present and past months.

The segments are as follows:

  • Regional : Scotland
  • National : UK
  • International

Points were awarded for a company’s position within the search engine for various competitive keyword phrases. The points were also weighted against the participating search engines in the experiment.

Search Engine Scope and point weighting:

  • Google.co.uk : 30 pts for 1st; 29 pts for 2nd and so on…
  • Yahoo.co.uk : 15 pts for 1st; 14 pts for 2nd and so on…
  • MSN.co.uk : 10 pts for 1st; 9 pts for 2nd and so on…

Regional (Scotland) Keyword phrases:

  • SEO Scotland
  • SEO Company Scotland
  • Search Engine Optimization Scotland

National (UK) Keyword phrases:

  • SEO UK
  • SEO Company UK
  • Search Engine Optimization UK

International Keyword phrases:

    Looks like a good contest though it’s a little unfair as the companies that rank for some of the terms have been there for years. You should do a contest on a random search term. For SEO rankings visit SearchMarketingCompany.co.uk
