 Estimated Time : 9 minutes In Digital Marketing world, it is the trending subject now that what changes are going to happen in 2017, which SEO factor will go down and which will be more in demand. Well definitely this is going to happen, SEO factors will be affected, positively or negatively, lets know it.

1. 2017 is the year of voice search Increase in voice search users will be observed in 2017. Google, apple and other giants are investing more on voice search technologies. So it will be more important for the search engine optimizer to adapt this thing since keyword search process using letters and voice will be different. Voice searches will be mostly based on ‘Long Tail Keywords‘. Though voice PDFmyURL - online url to pdf conversion

search users are not much right now as compared to keyword searchers, voice search is constantly growing because of the accuracy of the search result they get.

According to Google in 2014, the voice search accuracy was about 80%, which increased in 2015 up to 90%. Which means accuracy will be more in 2016 and 2017. Which clearly indicates if the users are getting accurate results on voice search, they will prefer it more compared to word search. If you are a search marketer then you will definitely want to know what are the things that are going to change in SEO due to voice search. Is SEO going to extinct or it will take a new form. Well the answers are here. No, SEO will not die, just the techniques will be changed, and if you want to be a good search marketer then you will have to adapt. In 2017, due to voice search, searches will be more conversational. Like instead of typing ‘Cricket live scores’ users can voice search ‘Who is batting right now, what’s the PDFmyURL - online url to pdf conversion

score’. Let’s take another example of house cleaning, you will type ‘How to clean house in 30 minutes?’ but you can voice search ‘My house is a mess, so dirty. What should I do?’

Getting? The user’s perspective will be change. They don’t want just a device, they need a friend, a saviour, anytime, anywhere. So in SEO, instead of keyword search results semantic search will be me more in search results. Keywords will be few step back, so as a search marketer instead of focusing on keyword search to build ranking, you should focus on what topic users will be more interested. Creating forums will be more beneficial as users tend to talk there in a conversational way.

2. Increased Content Variety (interactive, animated, and experimental, with brand-human engagement) Like everyone knows ‘content is the king’, so your king should be always a great leader, always at top. The time is up when feeding content with texts, links and images were awarded as an ideal web content page. Users now are always bored of reading long texts, it affects their eyes also, and they choose to skip. Bad, isn’t it. In order to keep the users engaged and interested you need to add creativity to your content. Users now-a-days love to watch small video clips, gif images, animated presentation videos, etc. Also info-graphics which are most demand-able and trending content factor in 2017.

 Master The Art Of Best Guide For Content Marketing With These Tips Don’t forget to use these points for your coming SEO projects: Add small interactive videos which says it all which you want to say in texts. Suppose you have a school bag manufacturing company. You want users to know you working process. Do you think user will read the process in texts, rather they will love the video. Create infographics of for your content. Infographics are the most trending content type, which consists of texts, images, statistical data, like flow chart, graph, histogram, or any kind of representation. Create experimental contents, such as create a quiz which relates to your business and service, and you think users will love this. Put a ‘call-to-action’ button anywhere on the PDFmyURL - online url to pdf conversion

website which is easily visible to anyone. Optimize content for design. Suppose you are launching a new product which is not ready yet but you want your users to know about it. You put a link on the website and left it as it is. Nothing happens, nobody bothers about it. Now do one thing. Create a button with eye catchy background colour with an attractive text, put it on the sidebar inside a box with a border. I promise you visitors will definitely notice the button, may be they will click them. Usage of opt-ins will be increased more in 2017. Opt-in forms are those which are used to attract users to subscribe or register to their services. These forms come with functionality to provide users some attractive service offers like free PDFs and infographics.

3. Mobile-Optimized Sites and AMP 2017 will be slightly more focused on mobile devices compared to 2016. As users are accessing webpages more on mobile devices it is much more important to optimize the webpages for mobiles, where mobile optimization directly tells about easy navigation, faster content loading, device adaptable contents. Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is trending and is right now the hottest topic in search engine world. AMP has been implemented on some websites and the results presented by the webmasters are really not easy to believe, they claimed to increase in the website loading speed up to 80% along with amazing user friendliness. Google recommends to keep same content for both desktop and mobile devices. In case if you have different content then you have to implement structured data on both contents. So over all you can say in 2017 AMP will rule the seo market. AMP comes with in-built libraries which provides amazing user experience in mobile devices. Of course you need to learn AMP but if you are familiar with HTML and basic Javascript, you will adapt it easily. AMP libraries can be used to implement galleries, light boxes, youtube videos, animations, accordion, carousel and many more. You can also embed dailymotion videos, facebook, google fonts, glyphicons, all with ease and great device responsiveness.
