this is the time to go on from “user knowledge” as a ranking element – truly the only result that really matters could be the one using the best client knowledge overall.

SEO will help companies deliver the most useful buyer experience, because our company is tailoring content to exhibit users the precise search engine results they wish to see (Did you know that 2017 ended up being the initial year that brands spent additional money on search than they did on television marketing and advertising?).

We have to keep 3 main things at heart when thinking about generating the most effective customer experience:

  • Do folks want to buy?
  • Does Google like it?
  • Does it make the business money?

He says that acquiring backlinks from relevant pages is more essential than acquiring backlinks from relevant domain names (you can read the complete research right here: https://www.branded3.com/blog/relevant-linkbuilding-study/).

Key stats:

  • 40per cent of queries tend to be going to YouTube
  • 60% of people remain viewing pet videos
  • 54percent are watching ‘How to’ video clips

He settles the truly amazing meta information debate!

Steve states your main reason for meta information is to motivate visitors to click on through to your internet website – so keep testing it and soon you obtain it right!

This slide summarised Steve’s talk perfectly:
