Dominating Search Engines in 2018

What You Should Know to Stay Ahead of Your Competitors
SEO is an engine that never stops. If you want to move to or remain at the top of the search results, you may need to modify your strategy. A method that was working for you perfectly a few years ago might not yield the same results now. You do not need to be an expert to know which changes to make, but you should remain informed about the latest trends. Implementing just a few modifications, such as creating more useful content, improving page loading speeds, and accommodating voice searches, could help you gain an edge over your competitors.

Top SEO Strategies for Today’s Marketers

When search engines impose changes or create new algorithms, the purpose is not to make life harder for online marketers. Generally, the primary objective is to improve the quality of search results. Everyone benefits when the experience is increasingly more useful for people performing online searches.

Consider the following techniques for enhancing the user experience, which can subsequently help you to achieve search engine domination:

  • Voice Search – More online users will rely on voice search now and in the future. Since the new smart speakers are activated by voice, this trend will likely become more commonplace than ever within a year or two. This means that keywords will still be quite relevant, but you may need to alter your usage to reflect the kind of queries being used in search engines.   
  • Page Speed – Whether people come to your website via your landing pages or they are repeat visitors, the pace at which they can access each page is important. This is especially crucial because of the high number of mobile devices in use, which require websites to perform specific optimization to increase page speeds. To get started, you can take Google’s page speed test to determine how your site rates.
  • Valuable Content – Value-driven material will never go out of style. However, what constitutes useful copy will continue to evolve as searches become more refined. Lengthier posts, cited sources, and information that solves problems for users will all be crucial site components in 2018.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

The global market is much smaller than it once was.  Statista reports over 5 billion internet users globally, or about 63.1% of the population. Reaching out to a broader market can help your business grow, but it’s not as simple as updating your website in a new language and simply hoping your audience finds you through search.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.

5 Proven Ways to Improve your Website Ranking

The rules of SEO can often feel elusive, as if SEO is a great big experiment in which the parameters keep changing. Search engines keep updating the algorithm. User behavior is evolving and adapting to circumstances, all the time. You don’t have any control over how pages rank, or do you? Google will never share how it determines SEO ranking. Customers change how they search and shop. We may not fully understand the complexity of search engine algorithms, but we can test different elements of a webpage to see how customers and search engines respond to your content marketing strategies. It’s called split testing.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
