Rand Fishkin discusses key topics in healthcare SEO and digital marketing in 2019. He summarizes how Google's search algorithm is changing to favor direct answers and paid results over organic clicks. This could impact search behavior by increasing zero-click searches. Fishkin then provides recommendations for marketers to focus on controlling their brand presence, influencing content publishers, and shifting focus to long-tail keywords. He also explores the growth of Amazon and voice assistants, and how influencer marketing has become difficult to track. Marketers are advised to build their brand organically before focusing on ads and conversions.

As search evolves, so does optimization. Search results are less about phrases (combinations of words and letters) and more about topics (semantic meanings and entities). So a smart content marketer optimizes for “things, not strings.”
But what exactly does this mean for the writer? This presentation covers five specific actions we take as content marketers to make sure that your marketing is aligned with the future of SEO.
Learn how to:
Find clues into what topics are semantically linked to each other (Research)
Target topics, not just phrases, through writing (Semantic Search)
Incorporate natural language into your content (Voice Search)
Make visitors happy in ways that make Google happy (User Interaction Signals)
You're about to learn the step-by-step process for each of the specific actions that will future-proof your search engine rankings.
This is Everett's deck from MozTalk Denver, Content Edition, in 2016 in which he discusses how to prune cruft from your website to improve sitewide quality indicators for better rankings.
Creating A Marketing Strategy for your Auto Body Shop That Works!Lee Emmons
When we first started AP Media in 2010, we didn’t set out to specialize in the collision repair industry – we set out to specialize in digital marketing. Fate would have it that two of our first accounts were Mark’s Body Shop in Baltimore and K&M Collision in North Carolina – two independent shops with a strong focus on the consumer above all else.
Our early education in the industry came from these two shops, and if any of you are aware of Mark’s and K&M, you’ll know that they have a very strong set of core beliefs at the heart of the way they do business. They take great pride in their independence. They believe that their customer, the vehicle owner, is the top priority. And as a result, the quality of the work has to get as close to perfection as humanly possible.
Not only did we take this on as the way body shops should do business, we also took these principles and made them our own. And we take pride in striving for perfection, and the customer is number one. The growth of the businesses we work with is the purpose of everything we do, and the key to that growth is to understand and serve the needs of the consumer.
If you don’t understand the consumer’s needs and their process of buying your services, you’ll never know how to attract them to your shop, and you may never be in the right place at the right time when they need you. Because the collision repair buying process is very different from most other industries.

looks mighty attractive

45. But, in 2019, Four Forces Work Against This Model
#2 Demands for monetization and growth have pushed tech
monopolies to become publishers’competitors
#1 Search Engine & Social NetworkAlgorithms Have Become
Winner Take Most Platforms
#3 Amplifiers are overwhelmed by requests and more skeptical than
ever before
#4 Traffic quantity correlates less & less with conversions

Plays to the psychological
desire for categorizing oneself

50. Content → Email Subscriber → Conversion
“A visitor who reaches us via search is 1/19th as likely to
subscribe as one who comes in from a newsletter; a
reader coming in from Facebook is 1/12th; and a reader
coming in from Twitter is 1/6th.”

57. If Google sees high rates of pogo-sticking or other
signals that your page/site isn’t solving search
queries, they’ll likely rank you lower
Query

Via WB Friday
58. Using the searcher’s keywords intelligently on
your page still matters for rankings (and for CTR
in the results)
Keywords
e.g. Ring failed to rank
until they changed their
page title to include
“video doorbell”
59. Domains accrue signals of quality & value.
Powerful domains may give the pages they host
a boost in ranking ability.

60. Google wants to see sites provide an easy-to-
use, intuitive experience on every device, at
every speed, without impediment.
User
Experience
61. Speed & accessibility to crawlers still matters, and
Google still doesn’t handle non-text, or non-HTML-link
accessible pages well.

62. The geography, device, search history, and
timing of a searcher’s query can all change
Google’s results significantly.

65. The Late Adopters Are Finally Crossing the Digital
Marketing Chasm
Via Geoffrey Moore
These players have lots of $$$, entrenched
brands, & are used to overpaying for
untrackable advertising
68. Ad Bids in Many Sectors Go Far Above What’s
Profitable
69. Thus, Ad Costs Go Up, While ROI Trends Down
Via BusinessInsider
70. And Ad Tracking Getting Much Harder
Which Will Reinforce Large Quantities of “Dumb
Money” > More Trackable Advertising
The concept of a 90-day look back window is a
wrap. Retargeting beyond 7 days is dead.
Effectively, for a sales cycle of any realistic
length, the whole concept of attribution outside
of last click is over.
Via iPullRank
73. Accountability is a Massive Issue
Via TheDrum
“I do campaigns for brands on a weekly basis
and less than half ever come back for metrics;
less than 50% ever want to know what’s
happened. That makes me think it’s PRs playing
a numbers game and once a campaign has
gone no one is really interested.”
