Is SEO As Important Today As It Was In The Past? You May Not Think So, But Not So Fast

This is a question that we are often asked. Just a couple of years ago, I was attending a seminar at Google’s Chelsea Market location and this was a topic of discussion not only among attendees but also among the resident Googlers. And it is not an unusual question to consider; let’s just look at a brief, high level chronology of how organic results have been pushed down in the Google SERP (search engine results page) over time, and how paid ads have come to look more and more like their organic counterparts.

The Power of Google Local Service Ads (LSA’s)

If you are a local service provider and you are not yet using Google LSA’s, it is time to get started. In addition to occupying arguably the most valuable real estate in the digital marketing world (the very top of the Google search engine results page aka SERP), LSA’s are offered on a pay per lead model (as opposed to cost per click) – which means that you only pay for leads that are qualified as relating to the products and/or services that you offer and after a contact was actually made.

The localized uptake that this can reveal for your business is – in one word: HUGE. Up to 3 LSA’s will appear immediately on the desktop, 2 on mobile, and 1 via Google Assistant.

Is Your Website Growing Stale? How About a Beautiful New Navigation System?

So you have a great website. You are happy with the look and feel, but has it grown a bit stale? It’s something of a dead-spot; where you may be live with a relatively new site and content with the overall performance, but suspect that ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’ when it comes to overall performance. ‘Performance’ obviously being subjective; if you are seeking to drive site engagement, then perhaps scaling volume while maintaining solid site metrics, such as bounce rate — is your overarching goal. If you are primarily concerned with leads generated from your site, then performance is a measure of site conversion rate. For most companies, especially those marketing in a B2B sense, it is usually a mix of the two.

Marketing Challenges during COVID-19

During this period of uncertainty, one thing is clear: digital advertising has taken on a much more prominent role in the world of marketing strategy. Whether you are trying to get your brands in front of corporate decision makers or shoppers looking for consumer products online, standing out from the competition requires you to think beyond product differentiation. You need someone who knows how to achieve top positions and can leverage the most cutting-edge tools that the platforms have to offer. You need an agency who will take you past the standard blurbs of digital advertising and make your ads stand out from the rest regardless of the message. As someone once said, “not all who wander are lost”.
