SEO is not dead… not by any stretch of the imagination… bu the way we do it has change
eConsultancy… SEMPO State of Search
Producing engaging content… this is where SEO data can come in… specifically keyword research data.
But more interesting to me is the opportunity to get it right. And that’s what excites me when I think about your business and your customers. If you start thinking about a brands long term discoverability in search and social across device in an earned, owned and paid world… and can communicate that opportunity to your clients… and price the services appropriate… I think there is revenue upside for your businesses.

That’s a lot of lost data… lost conversations

What keywords should I focus on??
Keyword gap and I guarantee we all have a gap .

One of the most overlooked aspects of a content marketing strategy is the distribution and publishing.
According to the most recent estimates of global mobile devices penetration from GSM Association and to global population growth forecast, we estimate that the number of mobile devices in the world oficially exceeded the global population of 7.2 bliion people during the first week of October 2014. The number of mobile devices is now trending toward 10 billion by 2018.

We know that
It is important to realize that mobile’s relevance has actually increased, even if the excitement around it has dipped.
Think about:
Mobile SEO
Mobile Content Marketing
Differences in discoverability
Understanding the differences thru data
Service opportunities for agencies
Competitive opportunities for brands
A search from a Device also affects your clients discoverability.
So consider a prospect searching from a device at 1 Bay Street Toronto then doing that same search even blocks away at 255 Front Street. The search results may be different. You, as an Agency need insight into those difference in order to effectively optimize.
So you can now, in the gShift software, obtain position data, not just from a country specific engine, but now also from a city and a city on a mobile device or desktop.

We all know what this is and consider this in our keyword research… typing a keyword into the google search box.
What about this… I think we know what this is too. It’s a voice search performed from the Google Search Box.
Easy.
But how does that affect Keyword Research for your client.
Not so easy.
October 14, 2014.
Northstar Research, surveying 1,400 Americans across all age groups. Here are the results. Everyone is using voice search!
More than half of teens (13-18) use voice search daily—. Adults are also getting the hang of it, with 41 percent talking to their phones every day and 56 percent admitting it makes them “feel tech savvy.”
Expand your keyword research and optimization efforts to include conversational searches.
And so the behviour of a searcher changes when they perform a textual search at the search box
Compared to a voice search… and the search results are different because the search behaviour is different. A searcher is more likely to produce a conversation search such as “I’m looking… ”
This isn’t rocket science but as agencies responsible for a brand’s discoverability we need to expand our keyword research methodologies and groupings.
So when doing keyword research consider…
And what is more of a Kluster of keywords.
