How Voice Search Will Forever Change SEO

There has been an ongoing debate around the world about if voice search is going to be the end of SEO. We are at it again trying to find out if the rumors are true. If you ever talked about having a casual chat with a computer some years back, it would seem like science fiction; nobody would take you seriously because no one ever thought that virtual assistants could have a monetary impact on the market. Many people, thus, ignored the idea of virtual assistants and artificial intelligence. Things have however changed, and a lot is happening in the industry. According to Be shad Behead in his speech at Google Zurich, more than 55 percent of teenagers and 41 percent of adults are now using voice search on a daily basis, and still, the number is swelling.

4 Ways To Stay Ahead in SEO - How Search Is Changing the world of SEO

1. Creating stellar, top-tier content is the most important thing. Ever. Content is the most important thing ever. The importance of content isn’t new. However, the reason this tops the list is because I believe content is more important than ever before. It’s called content marketing, and now, in 2014 with all the SEO changes we’ve seen, it’s the one thing that you can really rely on. It’s legit. Wikipedia’s definition of content marketing is as good as any: “Any marketing format that involves the creation and sharing of media and publishing content in order to acquire customers.” You’ve read the hackneyed phrase, “content is king,” enough times, so I hesitate to even type the worn-out words. Yet, it does bear repeating, because that’s all that really matters. Content is absolutely all-important. Lest you think I’m merely riding a hobby horse, let me try to prove this to you. According to research from InboundWriter.com, companies who have an active blog report 63% more leads t

GOOGLE MAKES IMPORTANT UPDATE TO THEIR SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS PAGE (SERP) March 7, 2016

It is up to us Digital Marketers to stay on top of these changes to help our clients stay on the first page, and wherever possible first on the list. Well now Google has made a few major changes to their SERP (Search Engine Results Page), which has advantages and disadvantages for website owners and Google AdWords advertisers.

Removal of AdWords from SERPs side panel Google's SERPs had a set general structure, which looked like this: One of the biggest changes that Google has made to the SERPs is to remove the entire right panel of ads from the page: This will bring the user experience from desktop users closer to that of mobile users, which is the majority of current internet traffic anyway.

Which is Better – an App or a Mobile Website?

When it comes to deciding whether to build a native app or a mobile website, the most appropriate choice really depends on your end goals. If you are developing an interactive game an app is probably going to be your best option. But if your goal is to offer mobile-friendly content to the widest possible audience then a mobile website is probably the way to go. In some cases you may decide you need both a mobile website and a mobile app, but it’s pretty safe to say that it rarely makes sense to build an app without already having a mobile website in place. Generally speaking, a mobile website should be considered your first step in developing a mobile web presence, whereas an app is useful for developing an application for a very specific purpose that cannot be effectively accomplished via a web browser.

When Does an App Make Sense?

Despite the many inherent benefits of the mobile web, apps are still very popular, and there are a number of specific use scenarios where an app will be your best choice. Generally speaking, if you need one of the following, an app makes sense: Interactivity/Gaming – for interactive games (think Angry Birds) an app is almost always going to be your best choice, at least for the foreseeable future. Regular Usage/Personalization – If your target users are going to be using your app in a personalized fashion on a regular basis (think EverNote) then an app provides a great way to do that. Complex Calculations or Reporting – If you need something that will take data and allow you to manipulate it with complex calculations, charts or reports (think banking or investment) an app will help you do that very effectively. Native Functionality or Processing Required - mobile web browsers are getting increasingly good at accessing certain mobile-specific functions such as clic
