Mobile SEO<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Around 58% of all Google searches are now being done from mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming years, mobile searches will account for more than 80% of all Google searches.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile is so important that even Google is introducing new algorithm updates to provide a better user experience for mobile users.<\/p>\n<p>And if you don\u2019t want to lose the majority of your search traffic, then you have to optimize your website for <a href=\"https:\/\/zutrix.com\/blog\/mobile-rank-tracking\">mobile SEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no other way around.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a while back, Google introduced mobile-first indexing in which they stated that Google will now use the mobile version of the web page to index those pages.<\/p>\n<p>That means you\u2019ll get the results from the mobile index no matter what device you use.<\/p>\n<p>But the main question\u00a0<span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">is:\u00a0<strong>How can you<\/strong><\/span><strong>\u00a0optimize your site for mobile SEO?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s not rocket science.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s super easy.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few crucial things you can do to optimize your website for mobile SEO:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mobile Friendliness: <\/strong>Having a mobile-friendly website is not an option anymore, it\u2019s a necessity. No matter what, if you want to do good in SEO and want to be future-proof, you have to make sure your website is perfectly optimized for mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improve page speed:<\/strong> User experience is the most crucial factor that\u2019s going to make or break your mobile SEO. And if you want to improve the user experience of the mobile version of your site, you have to improve your page loading speed first. Improving your page loading speed will automatically improve the user experience to a large extent.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\"><strong>Easily scannable content:<\/strong> You have to make sure that your content is easily scannable and readable on mobile devices.<\/span>\u00a0Use big, bold fonts, paddings, and perfect image dimensions so that mobile users can easily read your content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apart from this, you can also use Google\u2019s mobile-friendly test tool to see whether your website is fully mobile-optimized or not.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Increase_of_Voice_Search\"><\/span>2. Increase of Voice Search<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Over 27% of all global internet users are using voice search on mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>And it has<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kleinerperkins.com\/perspectives\/2016-internet-trends-report\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"> grown 35x<\/a> over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Voice-search.png\" alt=\"Voice search\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Experts believe that this number is going to surpass by a large extent in the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>Voice search has become immensely popular, especially among mobile device users, because of its ease of use and convenience.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s certainly easier to search for something via voice than typing it on Google.<\/p>\n<p>Humans are becoming lazier than ever before, and we\u2019re constantly looking for solutions that will save us time and energy.<\/p>\n<p>And the voice does the exact same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you\u2019re into SEO, it\u2019s really crucial for you to understand the importance and future growth of voice search.<\/p>\n<p>Because if you don\u2019t understand it now, you\u2019ll be way behind your competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Voice search totally changed the way we used to search a query on Google.<\/p>\n<p>And if you don\u2019t adapt to this change in your SEO strategy, it\u2019s going to be almost impossible for you to survive in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, from now on, you should start optimizing your content for voice searches so that when people search for something on Google using voice search, your website will show up higher.<\/p>\n<p>But the question is: How will you optimize your site for voice search? Is there any specific strategy for that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, there is.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to go ahead and make huge changes to your site and content to achieve this result.<\/p>\n<p>Some simple and easy tweaks will do the work for you.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the few things you have to keep in mind while crafting your content if you want to optimize it for voice search:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Give short and precise answers to the questions<\/li>\n<li>Optimize your site for <a href=\"https:\/\/zutrix.com\/blog\/optimize-for-google-featured-snippets\">winning featured snippets<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Write for humans, not for robots.<\/li>\n<li>Include long-tail keywords throughout your content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you just keep these few things in mind, you can see some great results within a few months.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Focusing_More_on_Search_Intent\"><\/span>3. Focusing More on Search Intent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>SEO starts with search intent.<\/p>\n<p>Search intent is basically the reason or purpose behind the user\u2019s search.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the most basic yet the most important thing that you have to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>SEO is not what it used to be 5 years back.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Google couldn\u2019t really understand the contents of the web pages and sorely ranked pages based on keywords and backlinks.<\/p>\n<p>But the scenario is completely different now.<\/p>\n<p>With algorithm updates like BERT, Google bots can now understand the contents of the pages.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, if your content doesn\u2019t align with the search intent, your content isn\u2019t going to rank on Google, no matter how well you\u2019ve optimized it or how many backlinks you\u2019ve created for that page.<\/p>\n<p>All that matters is &#8211; whether the page aligns with the search intent or not.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying that just aligning your content with the search intent will give you a ranking boost. You definitely have to create backlinks and optimize your content for SEO.<\/p>\n<p>But before you do anything else, you have to make sure the search intent is perfectly matching with the content you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n<p>Only doing this will increase your chance of ranking on the first page by 50%.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s a problem:<\/p>\n<p>Many people are still unaware of understanding search intent.<\/p>\n<p>However, luckily, there\u2019s a simple solution available to this problem.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily understand what type of content you have to create following the search intent just by looking at the search result for that given keyword.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you search for <strong><em>\u201cbest laptops under $1000\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, you\u2019ll see almost all of the pages ranking on the first page of Google have a list of laptops that are under $1000.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Search-intent-example.PNG\" alt=\"Search intent example\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, that\u2019s fulfilling the intent of the keyword.<\/p>\n<p>If you add a laptop that\u2019s above $1000 or write content without following the listicle format, you\u2019re content never going to rank for that keyword.<\/p>\n<p>Search intent is not complicated.<\/p>\n<p>If you just observe the search results for your targeted keyword, you\u2019ll easily understand what type and how you have to create the content.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Evergreen_Contents_Will_Thrive\"><\/span>4. Evergreen Contents Will Thrive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Content is the core of SEO.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what SEO strategies you use, how many backlinks you build, or how well you design your website\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026if you don\u2019t have solid content, you\u2019re never going to rank on Google (No matter what).<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re able to rank using some tricks or hacks, you can\u2019t sustain that ranking for a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how valuable content is in SEO.<\/p>\n<p>But you have to remember there are two types of content that people publish:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evergreen content<\/li>\n<li>Buzz contents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Evergreen contents are the contents or topics that have a constant interest and search volume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of the examples of evergreen topics are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to take a screenshot on Windows<\/li>\n<li>How to make grilled chicken<\/li>\n<li>How to lose weight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These types of content pieces are not affected by any event or specific seasons and remain valuable throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Buzz contents basically depend on any event, news, or specific season of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s an example of buzz content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Best Black Friday deals<\/li>\n<li>Real Madrid vs Barcelona<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While buzz content can drive instant website traffic, it can vanish within a few days.<\/p>\n<p>So, for better SEO performance and to have sustainable traffic for your website, you would have to create and publish evergreen content on your site.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of publishing 10 buzz-related or thin content, publishing 3 evergreen and high-quality content always going to bring better results for you.<\/p>\n<p>Also, by creating high-quality, evergreen content, you can easily win the trust of your audience naturally.<\/p>\n<p>And I think I don\u2019t have to explain how important trust is for any sort of online business.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Optimizing_For_Core_Web_Vitals\"><\/span>5. Optimizing For Core Web Vitals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Core web vitals are basically some specific sets of metrics that are a part of the Google page experience signal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Core web vitals consist of metrics like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)<\/li>\n<li>First Input Delay (FID)<\/li>\n<li>Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Core-web-vitals-1638994098.PNG\" alt=\"Core web vitals\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These help to measure the user experience of your website.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of this year, Google announced that they are going to introduce page experience signals and core web vitals as a crucial ranking factor.<\/p>\n<p>And Google has already started rolling out this update.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, just having a great user experience and optimizing for core web vitals won\u2019t magically push you to the top of search results.<\/p>\n<p>You still have to practice and implement other SEO strategies.<\/p>\n<p>However, having a great user experience and optimizing for core web vitals will definitely give you an extra edge over websites that provide a poor user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Google wants to provide the best user experience to its users.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why they are constantly introducing new algorithm updates focused on user experience.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to have a future-proof SEO in place, then optimizing for core web vitals and great user experience should be your first priority now.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">You can use tools like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pagespeed.web.dev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">Google Page Speed Insights<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gtmetrix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">GTMetrix<\/a> to figure out your website&#8217;s current core web vital score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"\/blog\/assets\/media\/Pagespeed-insights.PNG\" alt=\"Pagespeed insights\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After that, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/zutrix.com\/blog\/core-web-vitals\">read this massive guide<\/a> that we\u2019ve published about core web vitals to learn how to optimize your site for core web vitals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_Whats_The_Future_of_SEO_in_2026_And_Beyond\"><\/span>Conclusion: What\u2019s The Future of SEO in 2026 And Beyond?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We never know what exactly will be the future of SEO.<\/p>\n<p>We can just predict and work on the things that have the highest potential to blow up.<\/p>\n<p>SEO changes a lot.
