A Google Search Tip to Save You Time and Frustration

There are times when I’m searching for something on the web that I’ve come across previously. That might be an article that I want to read again, a blog post that I want to refer to in my blog posts or a resource I want to send to someone else.

If I search Google I will get a ton of search results that may not return the specific content I am looking for, so instead I tell Google which site to search and which keywords I want Google to search for in that site.

So here’s how you do it. Go to www.Google.com (obviously right?) and in the search bar enter “site:[websiteaddresshere]” for example: “site:www.techcoachforcoaches.com money“. Press “search”. The results will only contain posts, pages, etc from the site you specified.

This especially speeds things up when you want to let a client or potential client know where your hot article on “[Insert hot topic here]” is on your site! :)

If you like this post, please consider buying me a coffee.
