Google's Algorithm Updates

8 mins 25 secs

Introduction

Remember the early days of the internet, when we first tried to make sense of Google’s mysterious ranking system? Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves still trying to decode its algorithmic updates. Google, committed as ever to enhancing the user experience, continues to evolve, ensuring it offers the most relevant and trustworthy content.

The Essence of Google’s Intent

Before diving deep, it’s vital to grasp the spirit of the company’s frequent algorithm adjustments. The company’s commitment has always been clear: enhance the user experience. While this is a simple objective, achieving it is a complex affair. As the internet grows and evolves, Google continues to find innovative ways to deliver relevant and high-quality content to its users.

Major Updates – A Brief Overview

Who could forget the likes of Penguin, Panda, Hummingbird, and the more recent BERT? While they might sound like characters from a children’s book, these are crucial milestones in the SEO landscape. Each has been rolled out with a unique focus, from punishing spammy link practices to understanding the context of a user’s search.

Tips & Tricks – Staying Ahead of the Curve

  1. Deep Dives over Surface Skims: Tired of the same superficial articles? So is the famous search engine. Instead of merely skimming the surface, deep dives into subjects can shield your content from potential algorithmic blows.
  2. Flexibility in SEO Strategy: The world of SEO is no place for rigid strategies. Maintaining an adaptive mindset can make all the difference when the next unexpected update rolls in.
  3. Engage with the SEO Community: You’re not in this alone. When an unexpected update hits, forums and communities can be treasure troves of insights.
  4. User-Centric Over Algorithm-Centric: It might sound counterintuitive, but the best way to please Google is often to forget about it. Focus on your audience. If they see value in your content, chances are, Google will too.
  5. Technical SEO Health Checks: As glamorous as content creation might seem, the technical aspects of SEO can’t be ignored. Regular checks on site speed, mobile optimisation, and crawl errors are essential.

The Future – Predicting Google’s Next Move

Predicting Google’s next move is challenging, but certain trends offer clues. The increasing role of AI and Machine Learning in algorithm updates is evident. Additionally, Google’s growing emphasis on E-A-T (Expertise, Authority, Trust) suggests a future where content creators might need more than just good writing skills.

Case Study: Transtage – Rising from an Algorithmic Setback

CCM optimised Transtage’s ad investments and helped them achieved four-figure conversions, resulting in a cost per acquisition (CPA) just nudging the mid-double digits. Their conversion rate hovered near the 3.5% mark, denoting a noteworthy surge in lead generation and sales. Intriguingly, before their collaboration with CCM, Transtage’s expenditure was heftier, but the returns weren’t as compelling. Delve into their remarkable transformation and learn more.

Lessons from the Past

While looking forward, it’s also crucial to remember the lessons of previous updates. A common error is over-reliance on one particular SEO strategy or tactic. Diversifying your approach can offer a safety net when the next big update inevitably comes around.

A Testimonial Interlude 

We don’t have an internal marketing team, but with Click Click Media, it seems like we doThey’re an extension of our internal business, like our own department, but in a separate office. They have a whole team ready and available, and able to solve your problem very quickly.” – Kevin Liu, MD, Transtage

Proactive SEO vs Reactive SEO

While reacting to Google’s changes is essential, there’s something to be said about being proactive. By understanding and anticipating Google’s goals, businesses can craft strategies that aren’t just responsive but are also future-proof.

Conclusion
