Consumer search behaviour is complex.
You perform multiple searches on multiple devices over multiple days; where everything you see and experience, in the SERPs and beyond, influences your brand preference and purchase decisions.
Traditional funnel analysis and marketing models do a poor job of measuring and managing this ecosystem.
We need to re-think the way we talk about, measure and manage SEO if we want bigger budgets, integrated strategies, and to win big - and we need to move fast; some of the world's biggest companies are already beating us to it.

Rand Fishkin's presentation covering 7 of the biggest trends in SEO in 2016 from changes in Google's handling of keywords to CTR opportunities to machine learning and more.

Andreas Dzumla — Google's Hogging Half Your Traffic: How to Get it BackSemrush
These slides were presented at the SEMrush webinar "Google is Hogging Half Your Traffic: How to Get It Back". Video replay and transcript are available at https://www.semrush.com/webinars/google-is-hogging-half-your-traffic-how-to-get-it-back/
SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural” search results on search engines
First Things First, What Is SEO?
SEO is simply any work carried out to increase the number and more importantly the quality of visitors to your website by making sure the website ranks in the search engines (Google etc.) for words and phrases related to what you are selling. If you sell car insurance then you want to be on page 1 of Google, preferably number 1, when someone types in car insurance. Simple.
How Do You Start SEO?
You research what words and phrases people use to buy the products and services you are selling, this is known as keyword research. The purpose of this it to make sure your pages are optimised for relevant words and phrases. It's worth noting, just because lots of people use a particular phrase doesn't mean you should optimise for it, if the competition for the phrase is tough (lots of other established sites are chasing the phrase) then you might be better chasing other less competitive phrases.
OK, I Get That, What Next?
Next you optimise your pages using the words and phrases you found. There are certain elements of a web page (title, meta, headers) that search engines focus on and these need to be set-up correctly.
Is That It?
Sadly not, because anyone can carry out keyword research and optimise their pages there are loads of well optimised pages about any given subject so Google needs a way of deciding which ones are best. It does this by measuring the number and quality of the links to your pages from pages on other websites.
How Do I Do Link Building?
In summary there are two approaches to link building. You can buy them, which is against Google's guidelines or earn them, our preferred method.
What Do I Need to Watch For When Buying SEO?
Nobody can guarantee a ranking unless they are using techniques that could get you banned from the search engines, which isn't ideal.
And Finally...
SEO can get your head in a spin. Like many things in life there are lots of different opinions on what works and what doesn't. Although there may be some magical formulae kicking around - doubtful - one thing is for sure, if you get your basic site structure and on page tagging right you will be on track for search engine success.

SearchLove Boston 2016 | Larry Kim | Hacking RankBrain: Four Strategies You’l...Distilled
RankBrain debuted last year as Google's third most weighted ranking signal and is currently leveraged for obscure long tail queries. However as RankBrain is perfected and refined, it will likely be used on more queries and weighted more heavily, and even displace links and on-page SEO factors as Google’s #1 SEO ranking factor in the distant future: SEO judgement day. This session will reverse engineer how RankBrain actually works, exposing four critical vulnerabilities and share unusual, yet completely white-hat ways to benefit from future Rankbrain updates. The biggest SEO ranking factor shift of all time is underway, moving away from links and keywords towards Rankbrain user engagement signals. Attend this session if you want your rankings to live. Join the resistance today!

As web marketing undergoes its biggest shift in a decade, how we impact audiences needs to evolve. In this presentation, Rand shows how web marketers in content, search, social, and advertising (+ influencer marketing) can shift their strategic and tactical investments to align with what the big platforms offer, and how consumer behavior has changed, too.
Influencer marketing can be a powerful tactic, but the practice is far too narrow, and often focused on wrong metrics. In this presentation, Rand expands on what marketing through influence can do, and shows examples of a higher ROI form of marketing through channels of influence (not just Instagram & YouTube "influencers")
How to Kick Butt with Your Email OutreachRand Fishkin

Rand's presentation from the Marketing Loves Sales conference in Portland, Oregon, covering the landscape of search, and tactical tips for B2B practitioners of SEO.
How to Survive Google's Trojan Horsing of the WebRand Fishkin
Rand's presentation from Mozcon 2017 on how Google enters and often crowds out competitors in vertical search spaces (and how marketers can fight back against this threat).
Thanks to a partnership with Jumpshot, Moz is presenting data about Google's search growth, click distribution, and more via a panel of millions of US web users.
This presentation examines how Google's ranking systems have prioritized searcher-task-accomplishment, and how SEOs must respond by optimizing for this process.
Rand's presentation on how to select strategic, digital marketing investments for your brand. Advice: step back, stop doing what you're good at or what you've been hired/asked to do in order to figure out what channels and tactics might work even better.
