What are the key predictions for SEO in 2020?
- site speed will become yet more important
- YouTube and the other big platforms will become majorly important – transcripts from YouTube will be used to rank content
- Google search traffic has dropped overall and will continue to do so
- Social Media will need to become more important as a source of traffic
- Outreach will continue but will become more saturate and more difficult to achieve
- Content will continue to be the key driver – more and better quality
- Google will continue to make updates and more often which leads to unpredictability
- Browsers may determine SERPs as they control the content that can be seen – the example so far has been insecure content not being shown in Chrome
- SERP real estate will diminish with yet more items like YouTube carousels
- Do nothing is not an option!
Let’s see how many of these come true!
