The world's biggest businesses go into forensic detail in their branding strategies. And yet, their landing pages show no sign of these carefully crafted brand voices.
As we move into a more sophisticated era of search, simply stringing keywords together with a few prepositions will no longer suffice.
With voice and visual search on the rise, the SEO industry is in danger of being left behind in the content space. The branding specialists will take over if we don't up our game.
If you really want to be a business success online, then you need to attract hungry markets targeted to your niche. During the early years of the internet, there were only a few ways to build your business using simple traffic methods such Pay Per Click and Search Engine Optimization.
But now with the power of social media marketing the game has changed and there are now even more ways to build your online business without the hassle of SEO or paying a small fortune for PPC. Yes that's right, the playing field has well and truly been leveled to accommodate anyone seeking to make their online fortune.
Today, everything posted about your business online has the potential to make a big impact on the consumer’s decision whether or not to do business with you. That’s because the Web is a vital resource consumers turn to when researching a purchase. So, what do people see when they research your business online? The answer might surprise you. Even some of the best businesses find that consumers aren’t afraid to express frustrations online. In fact, a recent study showed that almost half of Internet users feel they can be “brutally honest” online, and over a quarter of social media users are likely to “share dissatisfaction with a company, brand or product via social media” (Source: Harris Interactive).
Presented at Business of Software Conference, Rand Fishkin (Moz founder and all round great guy) presents his summary of what to love and what to leave in SEO for 2014.

Content marketing
If you follow the leader, you’ll never be a leader.
Do things your competitors can’t do and say things they won’t say.
Garrett Acott is a great example.
Ask yourself something. “Would you buy your company’s product over one that simplifies everything into one clear experience?
Happy Customers spend more
They’re more loyal
More willing to give you the benefit of the doubt
Who says you can’t swear in marketing?
Market to the beat of your own drummer
Disruptive irreverence
This is the part that stuck out, and it makes sense. I frequent the places I like. I tell people about them. I’m willing to try out their other ventures.
