Love this! Great job of explaining why understanding what people are looking for online is so important. It's crucial to create content that matches their needs rather than just focusing on what search engines want. Thanks for sharing this valuable insight!
Great video. I'm glad someone is tackling this important aspect of making SEO. Horrible metaphor with the plant watering at the start though. Was downright distracting and confusing.
I checked your videos but couldn't find anything about "how to rank ecommerce sites". Normally ecommerce sites don't have thousand of word in their product descriptions like blog sites have. I wonder how to rank them. Thank you
Nothing electric can directly judge content good or bad. Regarding the internet... users define good. Length of time on videos, numbers of converted leads into sales are the indicators and those can be tracked and compared. The results of offerings reveal "good." Therefore, other businesses offer one the opportunity to mimic successful businesses.
Thank you for your video, useful content. I have a question: -let’s say I done everything right and been ranked on the top. How could I keep my rank after?
Keep building links to your content, update it when needed. Here's a video, for example, on how to republish your content for more traffic: ua-cam.com/video/9HWna4hK47c/v-deo.html -Helen
Like with any marketing, you need to understand your audience. Understand their reason for searching and what they truly want. Copywriting, seo, and advertising all must use this information.
Hey, I build websites for construction companies and I have a website myself, would it be smart to put my website link in all my clients websites that I build to get backlinks? Would they be quality backlinks and should I do it?
Hey dude. I am working with local businesses and I'd like to offer meta ads, google ads, web design and SEO. Most of these companies (kitchen and bathroom showrooms) are going to struggle to pay than any more than £2k to any agency for marketing. Is it worth me learning SEO so I can offer it? If so, what steps would you take to be able to deliver with a low budget? Thank you
No, search intent is the reason behind a search query. It gives you the understanding of what the searcher is looking for when using a search engine like Google. So you can better optimize your content for it. -Helen
It is worth it. There are still 3.5 billion searches on Google daily. Though there were 8.5 billion, that doesn't mean SEO is dead. Can you think of a traffic source besides SEO that provides free, passive, and consistent traffic?
While watching the video the thing constantly popping on my mind is, Is there any AI tool that can help me with that? The answer is at the last of the video.
When first page is filled with corporate sites, whether news, corp-owned niche site or social platforms, I guess these factors are just the age-old bread and circus. The most important factor is corporate. The only factor Google pushed since the Medic Update onward. Corp sites under the same hedge-funds umbrella Google sits.
Hello from Argentina! If "search intent" is so important, that justifies that all results in the SERPS are exactly the same. Write what is already ranking because that is what already satisfies "seach intent". If you write something different, you would not satisfy that intent.
You're making SEO more difficult than it is. SEO should have a plan that makes sense for the buyer persona you are trying to attract to the website. Follow that plan covering the top of the funnel, middle of the funnel, and bottom of funnel keywords. The site architecture is important in understanding search intent. Write a content then measure results.
I'm just confused about that's why I'm asking about it. I know that Google doesn't allow ad revenue for adult or mature content. When I search for erotic or erotica, they don't have the same questions asked in their searches so I was wondering if there are some restrictions for it. I'm not a porn creator, but I have adult content as in art nude, erotica and mild language in my stories so I was wondering if this would hurt how I get traffic in anyways. My content don't seem to be "adult" enough to get adult advertising, but its too "adult" to get advertising on some platforms. So I was wondering what I could do.@@AhrefsCom

Do you think SEO still works after we have AI? I am thinking about going deep to SEO but I’m not sure it’s still worth it in 2024 😅
