Copywrite vs Copyright - Google Gets It Wrong

We’ve recently started to get a bit of traffic for the keyword ’copywrite’ - this is all very nice because we offer copywriting services. A quick Google showed that we suddenly rank 4th but our pleasure was somewhat lessened by the fact that we should actually rank higher.

The number one spot is a website that ranks for ’copyright’, underneath Google’s suggestion, ’did you mean copyright? Well, no Google, no I didn’t - that’s why I typed in ’copywrite’. In my humble opinion these are pretty different concepts and showing me an irrelevant result in the top spot isn’t exactly user-friendly.

Google are normally pretty good with related searches, but this is one case where they need to leave it up to the user. If it wasn’t for this bad result 9xb would rank 3rd and for some keywords that could mean a big difference in traffic.
