Below, are the top 8 SEO trends for beginners, which will help you to tackle your web presence to your business advantage in 2021.
1. Content remains king
The newest of Google’s search engine algorithms are increasingly focusing on content. Is the content actually relevant to the keywords? This question is more important than the words themselves. So you have to continue generating quality content with matching, relevant keywords and synonyms. In a nutshell, put more emphasis on quality content (relevant and grammatically correct) and less on keywords. Remember Google is continuously battering it’s search and all unnamed updates related to quality are now known as “Fred”.
2. Social signals are important
We already knew that social media signals make a positive contribution to rank higher in search results. In 2021, even here more emphasis must be put on. Content of higher quality gets more attention in social media and thus rises also in search engine results.
3. Online security is important in the ranking
Use security certificates in 2015 and use https instead of http: these things make your site rise in search results. So you get a positive confirmation of the security of your website.
4. Mobile SEO is on the rise
India’s smart phone sale is predicted to grow in double digit in 2021. Canalys(a research firm) estimates smartphone shipments to reach 172.6 million in 2021, growing 15% from an estimated 150.2 million in 2020. Whereas CyberMedia Research (CMR) is estimating a growth of 12% to cross 170 million shipments versus 152 million it estimated in 2020. And people are now browsing through their smartphones more and more to search for any product or news item. This has proved the vital point that websites are mobile friendly and even more important is a ranking factor in the Google search engine algorithms.
5. More attention to word sequences (phrases) instead of keywords
Google update Hummingbird way back in 2013 but it still holds good in semantic search. Search engines now get to work with context, meaning and scope of words in a search, and look not only at the appropriate keywords. The word sequences and quotes with keywords are important in SEO.
6. Link Building focuses more on brand names
The importance of good link building continues unabated in 2021. But the interpretation by search engines and backlinks to your website is changing. We have seen already that content gets more attention. Concentrate on relevance and popularity in social media. The brand name is relevant information on the source site, which refers to your brand or site. Bringing up the brand name might not hyperlink anymore, but the entry persists as a factor for SEO.
7. A picture is worth 1,000 words
Strive for high-quality and original elements in visual media. Think of pictures, photos and video – all good scoring components. Websites with visual elements are higher than web pages with just text. Plus, videos (YouTube or Veimo) and infographics reduce bounce rates tremendously.
8. Keyword ranking is possibly over
Return on Investment is a trend. The focus in 2021 will shift from keyword ranking to components that affect your payback extent. Do you have a top-ranked web page but it generates no conversion or sales? You shoot anything with that high score. You need new SEO strategies, which look beyond link building and keywords. This should take into account the connection of content on your website with the customers. Only a good match takes visitors to proceed to conversions and place an order.
2021 offers abundant online opportunities for businesses. Tap them now by implementing these tips and trends, you’ll find your business increasing rapidly.
