Boost Your SEO in 2024: Key Strategies to Stay Ahead

twp1
News ,

As outlined in Forbes’ article “3 Ways To Enhance Your SEO In 2024,” the ever-evolving landscape of search engine optimization (SEO) continues to challenge businesses to adapt their strategies. With emerging trends like voice search and an increased focus on Google’s E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) framework, staying ahead in SEO requires proactive adjustments. Here are three key strategies to enhance your SEO in 2024. 

1. Adapting to the Rise of Mobile and Voice Searches

Traditional text-based searches are increasingly being replaced by mobile and voice searches. As digital assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa become more integrated into daily life, users are leaning towards spoken queries that are longer and more conversational. By 2026, it’s predicted that over half of internet users in the U.S. will utilize voice assistants for their searches.

From an SEO perspective, this shift means that optimizing for voice search is crucial. Unlike text searches, voice queries are typically longer and phrased as questions. To capture this traffic, businesses should focus on incorporating longtail keyword phrases and conversational content into their SEO strategies. Additionally, local SEO remains vital, as many voice searches involve users looking for services in their immediate vicinity. Make sure your website is optimized for speed, as slow load times can deter users and negatively impact your rankings.

2. Embracing E-A-T with a Focus on Experience

Google’s E-A-T framework—emphasizing Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—remains a cornerstone of SEO. Recently, Google introduced a new element, Experience, making it “Double E-A-T.” This addition highlights the importance of content created by authors with real-world experience, as searchers value insights from knowledgeable sources.

To boost your site’s topical authority, create content hubs that thoroughly cover specific topics of interest. For example, if your business specializes in personal injury cases, developing a comprehensive hub on car accidents with detailed, authoritative content can establish your site as a trusted resource. In addition to primary content, include subtopics that expand on related issues, and use internal links to keep visitors engaged and guide them through your site.

3. Prioritizing Local SEO

With the growing prevalence of voice searches, local SEO has become more critical than ever. Searchers often look for services near them, making it essential for businesses to optimize their online presence to cater to local audiences. Ensure that your business information, such as address, phone number, and operating hours, is accurate and consistent across all platforms, including Google My Business. Utilize location-based keywords in your content and encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews, as positive feedback can significantly boost your local search rankings.

Additionally, ensure that your website is mobile-friendly and loads quickly, as mobile searchers expect seamless browsing experiences. By focusing on these aspects, you can effectively reach your target audience and improve your chances of appearing in local search results.

By adapting to these evolving SEO trends, you can enhance your digital presence and maintain a competitive edge in 2024. Focusing on voice search optimization, building authoritative content, and prioritizing local SEO are key steps in driving traffic and engagement to your website.

Which Is Better For Ecommerce: On-Page SEO Or Link Building?

twp4
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Today’s Ask an SEO question comes from Taha in Chicago, who asks:

My question is on ecommerce SEO. Currently, I am working as an SEO Executive for an ecommerce brand. They have zero content on the site and their total backlink profile is around 1,000 links (which is nothing compared to competitors).

Which area should I focus on first in order to rank category pages? Should I go for the content and on-page optimizations or create backlinks to compete with my competitors’ profiles?

Taha, great question.

The short answer is: you should start with content and on-page optimization.

Now, let me give you the long answer, which applies to more than just the category pages you mentioned.

Start With On-Page SEO
Backlinks are important and we know they are part of the ranking algorithm.

However, you must have optimized content on the website so the search engines know what to rank your website for.

Below is a brief checklist on what to focus on in terms of on-page optimization before you start investing time in link building.

  1. Determine Your Keywords & Themes
    If you haven’t already, spend some time identifying your keywords.

Go from broad to narrow as you create your list, but keep in mind that relevancy is the most important consideration.

Even as you identify broad terms, though, they should still be targeted and relevant to your categories and products.

4 Reasons to Use Dynamic Search Ads

twp5
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ,

Dynamic search ads access your website content and deploy artificial intelligence to generate headlines, bids, and targeted search terms automatically. These easy-to-employ text ads are the Swiss Army knife of digital promotion: They work well in many situations.

Moreover, dynamic search ads (DSAs) are similar in concept to search engine optimization.

Something Like SEO

For SEO, you’ve carefully selected keywords and entities for all of your important pages. You focused on the technical side, ensuring that Google and other search engines can index your pages. You’ve also optimized the pages’ content, making them high converting.

In the end, you trust the search engine to present a specific page to a potential customer when that person submits a related query.

DSAs are similar.

When someone types a term into Google that closely matches the keywords and entities found on one of your pages, Google Ads dynamically creates a relevant ad and presents it.

Advertisers can optimize DSAs for sending traffic to a website or, if you have conversions set up, to generate ecommerce sales.

DSAs are a striking example of marketing AI. There are multiple reasons to use them.

4 Reasons to Use DSAs

No organic rankings. One of the reasons to pay for any search ad is to garner traffic for a term your website does not rank for organically — or at least not rank on the first page.

Unlike SEO, however, DSAs do not need from advertisers a list of keywords. Google Ads or Microsoft Ads do that for you.

Google could use its index of your site or a page feed to target landing pages.

The page feed takes the form of a CSV spreadsheet with a column for the page URL and a column for custom labels. Advertisers can use these labels to build ad groups within a DSA campaign.

Large business. One could argue that a well-organized, keyword-focused search campaign sending visitors to a popular, conversion-optimized landing page will outperform a DSA.

Why Good Content Isn’t Always Enough To Compete In SEO

twp14
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Not long ago, if you wrote good content on a regular basis, you had a decent chance of trouncing your competition in search engine results pages (SERPs), attaining a higher search ranking and therefore getting a higher share of organic traffic. These days, good content is still a major boon for your website — but it’s not enough to compete on the national level.

What do I mean by this? And how can you adjust your strategy accordingly?

SEO Basics: The Importance Of Content

I’ll start with some basic search engine optimization (SEO) background information. SEO is all about increasing your website’s rankings in relevant search results, most commonly targeting Google. For Google to rank your site highly, you need to establish both relevance (i.e., addressing the subject of a user’s query) and authority (i.e., proving that your site is trustworthy).

Written content is valuable because it accomplishes both — sort of. Good content lets you establish relevance for different keywords and phrases, while also building the trustworthiness of your site. If your content is good enough to attract inbound backlinks, which serve as major indicators of authority, it can assist your site even more.

So why isn’t good content enough to compete in SEO in 2021?

The Changing Landscape Of Consumer Content

First, the very nature of “content” is starting to change. Back in 2011, in the wake of the Panda update, written content was not only the norm — it was the only practical way to optimize a site for search engines. For today’s consumers, written content is often an afterthought — they want images, videos, podcasts, audio content and other mediums to consume.

If you want to stand out to both search engine algorithms and human content consumers, you need to diversify the types of content you’re creating and appeal to a broader audience.

User Experience And Technical Factors

Lately, Google has been making more of an effort to prioritize user experience and technical factors in its ranking algorithm. The company’s philosophy has always been to make the web a better place for search users, so websites that provide fast, reliable and technically polished platforms have always had an edge over their counterparts.

In 2021, Google is rolling out page experience, a new set of ranking signals for websites, based on “Core Web Vitals” that measure website performance. Good content can still anchor your site and provide you with opportunities with keyword optimization, but if that content is unreliable, slow to load or otherwise bothersome to users, it’s not going to have the same impact.

13 SEO Tricks That Don’t Result In Google Treats

twp13
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ,

If you’re tempted to use search engine optimization (SEO) tricks in an effort to get organic search performance faster, cheaper, and easier, don’t do it. You’ll only end up scaring your rankings away.

But what if you don’t know if a strategy you’re planning is a trick at all? The simple litmus test is this: Are you doing something for your customers’ benefit or to get better rankings? If the answer is better rankings, you might be about to engage in the kind of SEO trickery that Google and other search engines take a dim view of.

Google in particular publishes clear webmaster guidelines on the types of strategies that constitute bad behavior, including the following 13 SEO tricks.

  1. Automated Content: Using shortcuts like spinning content — a process that runs existing content through a software program to create “new” content — or using other automated methods to generate content typically produces garbage. Poor-quality content is one of Google’s pet peeves. Searchers hate it, and as a result, Google doesn’t rank automated content highly.
  2. Link Schemes: Increasing the number of backlinks from high-quality sites is key to SEO. Buying or bartering for links, reciprocal linking, link rings, and overly optimized guest posting, press releases or articles with embedded links are all examples of link schemes that violate Google’s guidelines.
  3. Thin Content: To earn the right to rank, your site needs to have valuable content that contains relevant keywords. Creating pages with little content or content cobbled together from different sources just isn’t good enough.
  4. Cloaking: Don’t show keyword-rich content to search engines, and then show humans a clean page of images, videos, or other streamlined content. Humans and search engines must always be shown the same content when the page loads.
  5. Sneaky Redirects: Similar to cloaking, sneaky redirects are used to show search engines one highly optimized page of content while sending humans to a different page. The same tactic can also be used unethically to send desktop and mobile visitors to different, spammy pages of content.
  6. Hidden Content: Text and links need to be clearly visible to both humans and search engines, not hidden from human view. Common tactics include using white text on a white background, hiding text behind images, and other ways of deceptively serving richer content to search engines than to humans.
  7. Doorway Pages: Highly optimized pages of content created to rank for similar keyword variants that then funnel searchers to one page rather than providing value on their own are known as doorway pages.
