Brilliant SEO Now: March 15, 2022

-

The first two weeks of March have seen several major SEO developments, some of which may signal even bigger changes in the future.

First of all, the implementation of the Google desktop page experience is now complete. So it's time to start thinking about desktop signals if you haven't optimized them yet.


IndexNow's continued growth is also notable, with several well-known software vendors signing up to the protocol this month. Is it the future of indexing? It's a definite maybe.


SEO Bright Now


And there is news closer to home. BrightEdge acquired Oncrawl as part of our commitment to data-driven optimization. We are very excited about what it means for our customers.


Let's take a look at these and other stories in more depth. Here's your semi-annual roundup of the latest SEO news.

The Implementation of the Desktop Page Experience Ends

Google has now finished rolling out the update to its desktop page experience. The update applies all mobile page experience factors to desktop, with the exception of mobile device support. While not a major algorithm change, it is still essential for SEOs to take note.


Page experience signals are relatively easy to optimize from a technical standpoint. If you haven't accounted for them yet, or aren't sure if your site meets current standards, then it's time for an audit.


Google search advocate John Mueller provided additional context on how the page experience works in an office-hours hangout earlier this month.


In short, he said that the page experience should be understood in terms of search intent (if a searcher wants to get to a specific website, the page experience will likely be redundant) and the update is unlikely to cause significant changes in rankings, at least in the immediate term.

Software Vendors Add Support For IndexNow

Several software developers have added native support for IndexNow to their products. SEOPress, RankMath and Duda are three examples. 


Whenever changes are made to the content of websites running one of these applications, participating search engines will be automatically notified. Millions of sites use the IndexNow protocol and that number is growing every day.


While they haven't signed up yet, Google has shown some interest. At the moment, Bing and Yandex are the only major search engines associated with IndexNow. 


But continued acceptance by webmasters could herald the next phase of website indexing. And that's good news for SEOs, especially those running smaller websites that don't get as much crawled as larger ones.

Bright Edge Acquires Oncrawl

Bright Edge has been making headlines. We partner with Oncrawl, one of the leading technical SEO data science platforms.


As Jim Yu, one of the founders of Bright Edge, said in his post on the topic: “Oncrawl pioneered big data infrastructure and semantic analysis of SEO data, which allowed much more control and visibility. 


Oncrawl has quickly become a must-have for advanced SEOs and has won numerous awards.”


Expect great things to come and more details to follow.

Google Shopping Experience Scorecard Rewards Customer Experience

Google has launched a program for select merchants called "Shopping Experience Scorecard." 


US-based e-commerce sellers who participate in Buy with Google or free listings can receive a variety of benefits, including an increase in ranking and a Google badge, if they meet various customer experience criteria. These include shipping speed, shipping cost, return window, and return cost.


You can access a dedicated shopping experience dashboard area in your Google Merchant Center account. 


The program is optional, so it's up to you whether you want to provide customer service data to Google. 


However, if it provides a superlative customer experience, there is no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity. Your competitors certainly will be.

Why is local SEO important?

-

Local SEO is the way you can increase search visibility for businesses in location-based searches. It helps businesses to promote themselves online to local customers within a specific geographic area. Local SEO differs from organic SEO in its intent. When the seeker wants search engine results with local businesses, they should prefer local SEO. It is typically used for businesses with a physical location, for example grocery stores or doctor's offices, or for service-oriented businesses like a plumber or salons or a home cleaning company. Local SEO usually includes searches with geo modifiers, such as state, city, zip code, etc., where Google picks up the geographical location of the person and consequently shows the search results only for that area.

What are the types of social media marketing?

With the addition of new features for each social media platform, your marketing strategy needs to be dynamic. Here are some types of social media marketing you should dive into to create a comprehensive strategy: 1. Social Media Networks: It's called a network for a reason. In social networks, the network works like word of mouth marketing in traditional advertising. If you create content that resonates with one person, you are more likely to share it with five other people. People can post what they like, respond to content that reaches them, and since everything is public, your content is seen by everyone on the network who interacts with you. You can respond to customer concerns, showing you really care about them, or get in direct contact with celebrities with millions of followers who are then exposed to your brand. 2. Images and Infographics: People are constantly on the run, just like their social media. It should impact those seconds of your feed's daily scrolling. Th...

-
Image
Click-through rate is the number of clicks your website has received versus the total number of people who have had the opportunity to click. CTR is critical to positive digital marketing because it lets us know how successfully your ad or search list resonated with the audience it was presented to.   CTR is the foundation of digital success for both sides of search: organic and paid.
