How do I rank multiple pages for my busness/domain name?

[CaBStudios]

When someone searches for our business's name (which is also the domain name) we have one listing (with sitelinks) at the top - however I would also like to rank 2nd, 3rd and 4th for this term.

Any suggestions on how this might be done?

Thanks.

You could, but it would be more difficult to rank sub-domains. Search for keywords like nytimes, apple etc since we know these sites do have certain sub-domains, none of them show-up in Google in Top 10. I would concentrate on the social media only.

I normally keep my sites out of public forums but there are loads of examples.

google indeed and you will see they dominate page 1 for that term

[CaBStudios]

In addition to social sites - would creating sub-domains also work?  Or would they need to be new root domains?

Just for reference, do you have any examples? - the "stephen counsell" example no longer appears to be showing multiple results.  I've looked up a few others and the maximum I can see if two results.

Yes it is possible with google.co.uk

I have several sites that rank more than once for the same keyword but for different pages on the 1st page of google.co.uk

The best way to rank for your brand name with other/more URLs that you control to some extent would be the social media ones. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn etc.

I don't see any reason it'd be different for google.co.uk over google.com.

I did a browser search in google.co.uk for medicx - Interesting results.

Your domain is #1

#2 medicxpharmacy

#3 www.medicxfund.com/

#4 www.medicxfund.com/investors

Seems www.medicxfund.com are listing 2 pages for 1 term.

HTH

Perhaps this is different for Google.co.uk - or do you mean you can rank using different domains e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn

The domain in question is: http://www.medicx.com/

I have managed to rank for "stephen counsell" multiple times on page 1. So it is possible.

What's your domain / business name?

Hi Steve

Thanks for the swift reply.  Although am I right in thinking that ordinarily you can only rank once for your Domain / Business name?  I've had a look for examples where this isn't the case but haven't been able to find any.

Hi Matt

Hmm, sounds like you actually want to compete with yourself.

So, If I was going to do this I'd create a number of pages with different and unique content targeted at different angles on the key phrase (your business name).

The I'd start to create a set of backlinks for each of the pages so that they all have a similar ranking for the term.

I see why one would want to do this. Page 1 domination for a key term, but don't get too hung up on the Business Name. In my opinion you'd be better spending the effort creating really great content about the service or products you provide.

Good luck an dI hope this helps.
