Let’s start with a term clarification – what does it mean, “to be” on Google?

If you want your business to be on TV or on the Radio, on a magazine or on a billboard, you know what you need to do.

But what does it mean when it comes to Google?

Being on Google, as far as your business’s marketing concern means visibility online, anywhere in the world you choose (well, at least where ain't blocked - China for example), on the most popular website and the most popular search engine in the world (Mauritius included).

"To be" on Google, means your website is indexed on Google’s servers and it also means your website is well ranked as per Google’s algorithms, so that it appears in the first few search results (first page, preferably the first 4-5 results) which are relevant to your business, service and product.

But like everything that is good in life, it’s not THAT simple.

In this post I will use Google as an example but keep in mind that other search engines do exist such as Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yandex (Russia), Baidu (China) and more.

Google is the most popular search engine in the world as of 2021. If to shed some light on how big it is – Google handels trillions of searches every year. Google holds more than 90% of the search market online today whereas Bing, the 2^nd most popular search engine holds only 2.3% of the global search engine market followed by Yahoo with 1.54% and Baidu with 1.28% (Keep in mind that Google is blocked in China).
