Top SEO Trends to Rank Your Website in 2021
After a few years of getting comfortable, SEO is set to go through some important changes in 2021. Some people may say SEO is dead, however that could not be further from the truth. SEO isn’t dead, it’s simply gone through a necessary makeover, and if your business wants to keep up with the changes it’s time to pay attention to SEO trends that will definitely be influencing your rankings.
It’s All about User Experience One of the most significant changes to SEO in 2021 is the focus being placed on overall user experience. It’s no longer enough to have engaging content, Google will be actively evaluating websites for user-friendliness. That means website that are fully optimized for both mobile and desktop browsing, faster load times, security, and simple, intuitive navigation.
The Vitals are Vital Google is set to unleash Core Web Vitals, which will change how your website achieves ranking. In combination with previous user experience signals, such as mobile compatibility and HTTPS security, these Core Vitals will help Google measure additional user experience metrics, specifically:
• Largest Contentful Paint • First Input Delay • Cumulative Layout Shift While it can and will take time for most websites to conform to these new metrics, those who lead the way stand to gain from improved Google rankings.
The Keywords You’re Using Matter Keywords, and how you use them, are more important than ever. Research can help you to choose keywords that provide sufficient volume, as well as the ability to actually rank using those keywords, based on competition in that category and conversion rates. The chosen keywords should be included in your content, however they should also feature in your:
• Title tags • Meta tags • Headline tags
Other Key Issues While on the topic of keywords, the growing importance of voice searches and secondary related keywords both deserve mention. Voice searches are increasing in popularity and that will not change in 2021. To ensure that your content is optimized for voice searches, consider longer, natural sounding keyword phrases that include an answer to a what, where, or how-to question. Related secondary keywords are also becoming more important, as search engines attempt to discern context and intent. A long string of keywords is no longer going to get you the desired results; keywords must be used in a natural sounding manner, and content must be high-quality and relevant to the intended user.
A Social Media Presence is No Longer Voluntary However you feel about social media, the numbers don’t lie, and a strong social media presence is more important than ever when it comes to improving your SEO and your SERP rankings. While social media likes and shares may not directly affect your rankings, they do help to increase your exposure and your organically grown traffic. Moreover, social media profiles are beginning to rank higher and higher on SERPs, often appearing among the top results.
Search engines are only becoming more apt at separating useful content from the noise; to stay ahead of the curve, 2021 is the right time to update your SEO strategy.
