E-Book: SEO Now 2014 – Where are we now with SEO?

7th April 2014

SEO, the term has been subject to discussion many times in the past decade. A decade in which the trade of SEO grew big, but was also questioned in many ways. Black hat tactics at some point gave the term a bad name, but no matter how big the discussion was, SEO was still part of every digital marketing strategy.

That has not changed, to this day organic search remains (one of) the most importants channels for brands, simply because that is where the audience is at. Researching, understanding, just browsing or even in a purchase mode, the audience sooner or later touches on search. So a brand needs to be there.

But SEO has seen a lot of changes in the past few years, mostly pushed by Google, but also pushed by SEO’s themselves as well as brands, trying to make the most out of the channel. You could say SEO is being professionalized. A new age of SEO is here.

SEO Now, the E-book

In the past few weeks we have been working with Linkdex to create an e-book around the new developments on SEO, where is it heading, what is the current State of SEO? To find out we talked to many different experts.

The e-book features conversations on the topic of SEO Now with 27 thought-leaders, from pioneers of digital marketing, to global brands and search industry experts.

Just to give you an idea of what you can expect in the e-book, here are a few quotes from the contributors:

“SEO has evolved into a lot more than just optimization, meta tags and link-building. Now it’s much more complicated, much more exciting. It’s about understanding people, what they need and what they are looking for.” Jose Truchado, Expedia, @TruchadoSEO

“Everybody with a website now is also a publisher. With Facebook and Twitter, brands have an opportunity to turn around customer experiences and make a bad situation into something much better. If you rock peoples’ world, they will share that with people, and that enables your SEO.” Dennis Goedegebuure, Airbnb, @TheNextCorner

“Brands have to be aware of the fact users might be looking to convert via a call as opposed to on desktop, where they’re not connected to a device that can make a physical call.” Danny Sullivan, @dannysullivan, SMX/SEL

“There needs to be an easy way for customers to find brands online – every time brands are not there and visible when a customer asks a question, they’ll find their user base being eroded.” Dixon Jones, @Dixon_Jones, MajesticSEO

“Brands need to collaborate with teams from other departments: such as social media, on-page tech SEO, analytics, PR, content, UI, UX and data/insights to interpret that data for actionable insights and to undertake cross marketing initiatives.” Warren Lee, @warrenleemedia

“Modern SEO means the convergence of content marketing, social media, analytics, tech, PR, and events with publishers, as well as the actual page rankings and results.” Andrew Girdwood, @AndrewGirdwood, DigitasLBi
