Internet search engines are mostly word search mechanisms, and are not idea or information content based. They probably create an index of words with some prioritization and limited other algorithm schemes.
The double and single quote of strings is probably one of the easiest means to eliminte a large number of unwanted sites. Of course this means searchers must be educated enough to know how to play with words to get to the material they are interested in.
When you create a web site there is a lot of work to try to include words, and word sequences, into your discussion to make it easy for others to search and find you.
In your web site always include your city and state, and maybe country somewhere. The important information on your main page (index page) is a written description of what your site is about. Pictures, .jpg files, are of no value because the search engine can not interpret the content, even if it has text displayed.
Google problems:
IN regular Google search for
copper sheet ann arbor michigan
This brings up ASAP Source as a local place
change the string to
copper sheet vendor ann arbor michigan
and the result within the first 100 results does not show ASAP Source.
Change vendor to supplier and the fourth major result is ASAP Source.
Next go to Google MORE and pick LOCAL.
Using the first string above there is nothing close to Ann Arbor.
Add supplier to the string and there are no matches.
Thus, Google is doing a poor job on their LOCAL search. Google does not like to hear your complaints on this subject.
Try your own experiments.
