Adapt Video Marketing Strategy

A human being or audience always performs a search to get a practical solution rather a formatted text content. It helps them to understand each step, in detail with a practical implementation that’s why “YOUTUBE” is the second largest search engine.

Even according to the stats, users keep skipping Google for practical search queries and moving towards the video platforms. As it makes everything clear and feasible and allows them to implement accordingly.

If we look at the Google search results, it shows at least one video result in the SERP, which always came from YouTube (although it also a part of Google service), but video marketing should be considered as a prominent strategy for SEO 2018.

Keep your focus on

Google’s Mobile First Index

Increasing demand in mobile industry somehow affects the behavior of a prominent user. As it makes their searching more convenient. According to the states, user prefers to search through their handheld devices, which seems to reach around 60%.

Optimize for RankBrain & User Experience Signals

Google announced “RankBrain” update in 2015 and considered it as one of their top 3 important factors of ranking now. Being a Digital Marketing Specialist, we all know how frequently Google improvises its algorithm and ranking signals, which influence the strategies and techniques, we follow.

Due to their continual refinement process, RankBrain will definitely get more importance in SEO 2018. But, for the newcomers or beginners, it’s obviously a

brainstorming question–

What is RankBrain and how can we

optimize our website for it?

Well, for those, RankBrain is an artificial intelligent machine learning system that

allows Google to refine search results according to the user behavior. In layman language, it gathers the data how a user interacts with the search results and modify the ranks accordingly.

For a better understanding: Let’s assume you searched for “SEO

updates� in Google and gets a list of results like beneath.

From that instance, you clicked on the first result without even reading its text and when you reached to the resulting page, you get worse content ever and just get back without even wasting your single second.

Now, you clicked on the third result as it looks more convincing to you and you get great content that binds you to read the full article.

Google’s RankBrain will note your actions and behavior for both results and marked it down in its system.

On the other side, other user read down all results and click directly on the third result without visiting any other result. He got what we want and spend a great

time to read it completely.

RankBrain will also note down this behavior on the system and act accordingly.

Now what we get through these examples: 1. The time a user spends on the webpage (Dwell Time) 2. The bounce rate of the resulting web page.

3. The CTR of a search result.

Google’s RankBrain will note your actions and behavior for both results and

marked it down in its system.

RankBrain refines their results according to these three factors and up-grade or

down-grade a result. So, be active to optimize your web content according to the RankBrain algorithm in 2018.
