This document discusses the importance of building customer-driven products and outlines ways to improve a company's customer development process. It notes that acquiring customers is getting more difficult due to increased competition and saturation in the market. To build better products, companies need to understand their buyers through techniques like buyer personas, customer development conversations, and testing. Data shows that focusing on retention and monetization has a bigger impact on growth than acquisition alone. The document provides examples of frameworks to quantify buyer preferences, willingness to pay, and develop stronger persona-product fits to ensure companies are building products their target customers truly value.

Rather than chasing after the latest search trends or churning out content just to try and target a wider audience of new customers, you need to take a step back. Instead, start by assessing your website’s onsite journey and the experience it’s currently delivering to the people who are already interested enough in your brand to click through to it. In this talk, Rachel will share her own tried-and-tested methods of improving onsite user experience, conversions and keyword rankings by utilising CRO and UX techniques to get actionable insights into user behaviour and any roadblocks impeding the customer journey. Examples of some of the methods that will be covered are customer feedback collection, website heat mapping, customer journey mapping, website crawling, A/B testing and more. Learn how to reverse the decision-making process and build your retail strategy around the customers you actually have by opening up a dialogue with them, rather than building your business around the types of users you think you have.

SMX London: What Really Matters for SEO Success

Editor's Notes

  1. What do you visualize when we talk about Google ranking factors? Or Google’s algorithm?
  2. Do you think
  3. Do you think
  4. The search landscape is changing as searches focus more on semantic relationships, context and user experience.
  5. Today, Google uses a combination of algorithms, machine learning and ongoing updates to curate search results 
  6. We have to prepare for RankBrain, Deep Learning and AI technology to run search by doing the work the right way
  7. We have to understand that the definition of a search engine has changed
  8. Proactive suggestions leverage your website content or voice skills/apps And that’s on top of other signals like location and personalization
  9. As SEOs we’re facing some big questions: How are artificial intelligence and machine learning impacting search? How do we optimize for non-traditional search engines like Pinterest, Amazon, and voice? What does this evolution mean for the future of search marketers?
  10. The Answer: Rethink your SEO strategies & tactics.
  11. If you only take away 1 thing from my talk today, I want it to be this idea that the most effective strategies will be the result of changing our approach to think through the lens of optimizing for consumer discovery as opposed to optimizing for traditional search. This is how we bridge the gap and take a human-centered approach with strategies that aren’t about us or selling products, and aren’t focused on chasing Google’s algorithms, but rather focused on adding value. 
  12. Optimizing for search and virtual assistants
  13. Optimizing for search and virtual assistants
  14. Optimizing for search and virtual assistants
  15. How to Optimize for Consumer Discovery vs. Traditional Optimization Tactics
  16. Traditional ranking factors are still important, but we’re talking about optimizing for humans
  17. Today, we’re optimizing for those foundational elements as well as RankBrain – which is what we’re focusing on today So we’re optimizing less for traditional ranking inputs like keywords, anchor text, pgae speed, etc. and really focusing more on those searcher outputs
  18. quick on-page optimization tactics are no longer sufficient to obtain top positions in the search results, especially if the website contain Google is now honing in on the reputation and credibility of both the website itself, as well as the creators who contribute to its content. I
  19. Authority Rules: Optimizing for EAT (Beyond “Produce Great Content”) Expertise – Authoritativeness – Trust invest in personal branding Links & unlinked mentions are measured
  20. Focus your content efforts on niche topics you can own Provide value and deeper expertise on specific topics to be a subject matter expert Deeper expertise shared via robust and unique articles will win the rankings battle everytime
  21. Capturing User Attention with On-SERP Optimization: SERP Features & Ranking in the Knowledge Graph
  22. Published in late 2018
  23. Thankfully
  24. SERP features are near universal and massively impact click through rates These features have evolved into an interactive first impression of your company, for both branded and non-branded queries We need to take the same approach to optimizing branded SERPs to increase visibility Your New Homepage is Off-page
  25. Even if you’re national/global. NAP, photos, reviews, Google Posts, Questions & Answers Then add other data that makes sense. Are you a restaurant? Add your menu. Can a customer make an appointment? Add a link.
  26. Brand knowledge panels on Bing & Google largely rely on Wikipedia for the content they display Claim it! Suggest edits Add organization schema to your site Name your social profiles
