So, what are you doing to ensure you’re ranking on page one and making your website seen by the right audience?

It’s no secret that Google either releases or updates their algorithms monthly. So, how are you leveraging these new releases to keep your website on the first page?

Let’s talk about what you should be looking out for in 2020.

• Introducing Googles newest algorithm BERT!

  BERT stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. In layman’s term this means Google assess user access points to search enquiries and aligns it to relevant content.

  But, how can you optimise for BERT?

  Simply continue answering your audience’s questions, ensuring to keep your content authorable and trustworthy.

• E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) – Focus on your audiences’ appetite for quality, trustworthy content answers and solutions.
  • Understand your audience and their thought process.
  • Provide authorable, quality and informative solutions and answers.

• Structured Data – Search Engine algorithms still require “hints” to better understand the content that we publish in order to deliver the right results to the correct audiences.
