Over the last 12 to 18 months, even if you have no interest in SEO, you have probably heard about the “death of keywords”. Long gone are the days of keyword stuffing and extensively optimized content. Instead, we have entered the stage where keywords must now relate to a user’s intent.
As we head into a new year, companies often undertake a website update, launch new products, or revisit social media strategies. No matter what your focus in 2016, get into the habit of asking yourself, “What will my intended user or intended audience be searching for on Google?”. Think about the terms, keywords or question they might type into the search bar. Do you have competitors in the same market segment? Take time to review their online content and apps, and learn from their concepts or offerings. Sometimes, the smallest changes can yield the greatest rewards.
