SEO for Voice Search: 5 Ways to Get It Right

While you are in the constant process of optimizing your site for desktop (yes, Google updates, almost half the space of the SERP occupied with the results from the Google Knowledge Graph, etc.), you suddenly realize that you also have to optimize it for mobile search in the face of Google's shift to mobile-first indexing.

And while the SEO industry is shaken up with lots of polar opinions on how the change will influence local visibility and traffic, we've put up a short guide to help you make sense of the update and adjust your SEO strategy.

Competitive Analysis

The 8-Step Beginners' Guide

The 8-Step Beginners' Guide to Competitive Analysis

Search is very competitive. For each query that a user enters into a search bar, the search engines come up with a huge number of results. This means that unless you sell socks hand-made by Argentinian mountain monks, it's more than likely that there are businesses offering a similar product or service to you. In order to beat the competition, you can't go without competitive analysis. When done properly, it gives loads of insights into the competitor's strengths and weaknesses that you can both learn from, and take advantage of. However, competitive analysis often seems complicated to those with little SEO experience. Below, I describe it in the form of a simple step-by-step guide, aimed first and foremost at beginners.

Differing in the offered functionality, those apps had a major common feature. They allowed users to snap or upload an image of an object and get the info about it or recommendations on similar objects. All those apps played a bet on visual search. And it appeared to be something people have long anticipated. Bing, Amazon, eBay, and dozens of smaller companies joined the club bringing consumers' experience to a new level.
