In the digital marketing landscape, trends can make or break website performance, and if your site and strategy don\u2019t keep up with the times they\u2019re at a high risk for losing leads and lowering search ranking. Fortunately, with a team like the SEO experts<\/a> at DLM, you don\u2019t have to worry about keeping up with each technical change that affects your site, since we\u2019re staying on top of it for you. As we look to the coming year, here are the important trends in SEO and digital marketing we see having a significant impact in our strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Being Mobile-Friendly is Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever since updating their core algorithm in 2019 to be \u201cmobile-first\u201d in analyzing website content, Google has been rewarding pages specifically designed to look and work well on mobile devices like smartphones. Aside from having the correct code that automatically adjusts website format and design to various screen sizes, so-called mobile-friendly pages should be written in a way that\u2019s easily readable on handheld devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means avoiding large paragraphs that can become intimidating blocks of text on a smaller screen, as well as including descriptive headers that makes it easy for users to skim through content to find what they\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Don\u2019t Be Afraid of In-Depth Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studies show that longer pages, those with 3,000 words or more, tend to perform better than short ones, particularly those that are written well and engage users. This is opposed to the conventional thinking that the length of new content doesn\u2019t matter as much as the speed or regularity with which it\u2019s produced. Don\u2019t feel bad if you have a majority of web pages that don\u2019t have a ton of content, but do set a strategy in place to combine pages, update them, or remove them to give visitors the best experience possible in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Prepare for Google Core Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world of SEO (and yours, by extension) experienced quite a shock recently. On November 17, 2021, Google released a \u201ccore update.\u201d Although Google updates its algorithm on a near-daily basis with no interruption to website rankings, its core updates can have a slightly \u2014 or substantially \u2014 larger impact on where certain pages on your website rank for certain keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core updates are usually announced ahead of time, although we in the SEO world don\u2019t always know what they consist of, and therefore how these updates could affect our work. We don\u2019t necessarily worry about every update because we help clients create robust, resilient websites that aren\u2019t \u201ctossed around\u201d by changing algorithms. Google recommends an E-A-T (expertise, authority, trustworthiness) strategy for creating content that will rank reliably well throughout many core updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
