Twenty years ago, Google was created to provide access to the world’s knowledge. Hundreds of billions of pages exist in Google’s index. Specifically, this allows us to search for anything under (or even above) the sun. Presently in over 150 languages, in over 190 countries.

Did You Google It?

Google is far and away the most popular search engine, in fact, according to NetMarketShare, in August 2018, it accounted for 78.01% of all desktop search traffic.

When it comes to properly positioning your brand for ultimate visibility online, Google is the industry leader. Also, as technology is adapting and becoming more user focused, so is Google.

Google is beginning a new chapter, with three very noteworthy changes. According to Ben Gomes, in a blog post from Google. They are shifting their perspective on Search in three major ways.

  1. Moving from providing facts or answers to user’s queries to making Search more about a journey– Users will be able to pick up where they left off in their research of a topic.
  2. Transitioning from users entering in queries to showing you information without a query, helping users discover.
  3. Changing from use of text to use of images and videos – giving users a more visual experience.

These changes are not the first that businesses and marketers had to adapt to accommodate. Unquestionably, they won’t be the last. On top of Google’s constantly changing landscape, there are other technologies that have become widespread in use. Think artificial intelligence – instead of potential customers conducting searches for your business on laptops or mobile devices, they are asking Alexa or Siri. This changes the way your potential customers are searching and wording their queries, forcing businesses to adapt and include conversational terms.

SEO is a powerful tool that has helped many businesses reach their potential. It can do the same for your business too, if you know how to use it. Failing to use SEO properly can leave you behind your competitors, especially when it comes to new customers finding your business.
