How to Get Your Website on the First Page of Google Search Results

(Updated 20 September 2026)

Google visibility can be improved by creating relevant, expert content, strengthening the site’s authority with high-quality links, and keeping technical SEO, speed and user experience in good shape.

SEO Audit

An SEO audit is a bit like a vehicle inspection. It checks whether technical issues have appeared on the site, whether there are technical or indexing-related problems, whether the site structure works properly, and whether the content or linking could be improved.

An SEO audit is therefore carried out on websites that have already been running for some time. The audit produces a report that the site owner and SEO provider can use to determine how the site’s search engine optimization should be developed next.

How Much Does SEO Cost?

At its most basic, SEO includes the site’s essential technical SEO settings and optimization of the text content on the most important pages.

From there, the scope can gradually be expanded to include keyword research and optimization of page titles, structure and information shown in search results. In Finland, this type of work can start from a few hundred euros.

Costs can reach several thousand euros when content creation, development of site authority and the backlink profile, SEO strategy planning and competitor analysis are included.

DIY or Outsourced SEO?

Basic DIY SEO and analytics monitoring can be a sensible solution at first if the company does not yet have the budget to purchase an SEO service. The important thing is to monitor Search Console and analytics data that can be used in SEO strategy and content creation.

SEO as a Service

When moving to an outsourced SEO service, the focus shifts to systematically developing search visibility while also taking Google’s AI search features into account.

Effective SEO is based on useful content, a technically sound website, strong internal linking and building the site’s authority.
