Well done - this raises an interesting question though. When punters look for products or services, do they look in the plural (delivery companies) or the singular (delivery company placeName). I tend to try and shoot for both myself - my limited experience would suggest that people looking for the plural want to compare prices/services, whereas the single one of just for someone offering what they need near to them

delivery companies gets more searches than delivery company.
but Courier & Delivery services gets more searches than Couriers and delivery services. So i think there's no general rule.

Maybe its a wee bit arrogant, but i always think i'm quite a normal person, and so i'll start off with what I'd use as search terms. But i'm very aware that when you're close to something you sometimes don't see the screamingly obvious that others see from afar.

I'm learing to use the keyword tools, and then to write and edit and rewrite every sentence, starting with what it is that i want to say, and then rewriting it to say the same thing but with the keywords in mind. The new design should be going up in a couple of weeks, so we'll see what happens then.

I am slowly amalgamating all of the wise words being passed around this forum. Thing is, i'm more chuffed that it's got about 5 other search terms on pages 1 & 2. So, hopefully it will have some longevity about it.

But......

Will the new design keep it up. I guess it will take a plummet initially.....?
Oh, it's a nerve racking game this.
