What sets apart search from other
marketing channels?INTENT.
20
Search is constantly evolving,
but intentions remain the same.➢ Transactional Queries - “I want to do
something.”
➢ Informational Queries - “I want to learn more about something.”
➢ Navigational Queries - “I want to go somewhere or visit a specific website.”
21
Search Users Expect That Results Be:➢Relevant
➢Useful➢Trustworthy➢Fast➢Recent/
Timely
22
Perceived Value Through ContentBecause search engines like
Google want to provide useful, relevant content to its users, sites must always think about creating content for humans,
not robots.
23
How does Google judge whether content is
relevant or not?
24
Authority & LinksSearch engines crawl the web and use their own proprietary algorithms to judge the relevance and trustworthiness of content.
These algorithms are updated on an almost daily basis, but one of the largest factors remains to be backlinks.
25
Authority & Links - How It WorksWhat is a backlink? An incoming link from an external site which points to a page on another site.
26
Authority & Links - How It WorksThe more backlinks a site has, the
more authoritative that site is (theoretically)BUTMore links doesn’t always
mean better organic search performance.
27
Authority & Links - How It WorksQUALITY over
QUANTITYSearch engines will try to evaluate the nuances of a site’s backlink profile.➢ Trustworthiness of external sites➢ Industry or topical relevance➢ Diversity of domain types
(eg. .com, .edu, .gov)
28
Links = Authority
29
Authority & Links – Old School SEOIn the early days of search engines, sites would
turn to several “blackhat” link building tactics in order to manipulate search rankings.
Purchasing links from spammy websites used to be a viable link building strategy.
30
Authority & Links – Old School SEOIn 2012, Google rolled out the infamous
Penguin Update.
This change to the Google algorithm sought to demote or even penalize sites that may have participated in spammy link building practices.
31
Authority & Links – SEO in a Post-Penguin WorldDespite many sites getting hit hard by the
Penguin algorithm update, link building still has the greatest impact on SEO.
Expert search marketers reported that domain-level and page-level link metrics are still the 2 biggest factors which can influence search engine rankings. (1)

queries➢ Creating link worthy assets for link
building efforts

Speaking The Language: Keyword ResearchKeyword research is the most
critical part of any SEO strategy.

Leveraging the Power of PPC for SEOTo take it to the next level, running a test paid search campaign for potential keywords can
provide valuable context:➢Sift through keyword variations to find
the best ones➢Discover which keywords have the most
potential for better conversions➢Find new, better keyword opportunities
37
Search Marketing: Capturing Audiences in the MomentSearch is all about the
intent.The moment a search is performed, users are actively looking to solve their questions.
Using search marketing is still the most effective way to reach audiences in those moments where they are most engaged.
The challenge is whether or not your brand or business will step forward and strive
to be the answer.
