7 Recent SEO Developments Every Website Owner Should Be Aware Of

Anyone who owns a website that is the online real estate for your business should know that trying to get it ranked highly using SEO is not a one-time event. In reality, it requires multiple actions, and further, what tactics and strategies might boost rankings today could do the opposite tomorrow due to Google’s ever-changing ranking algorithms and rules.

The quest to know everything about SEO will never end, even for the most knowledgeable and experienced SEO exp[arts, simply because Google is on a continuous journey towards doing its search results the best it can do for its customers, aka people who search on Google.

No one knows every facet of the algorithm that Google uses to rank websites, and we imagine that even within Google itself, no single person has 100% access or knowledge of that algorithm.

If someone searches for a local pet groomer, clicks on one of the results, but when they get to the pet groomer’s website, they take a quick glance and leave, that’s a big red flag for Google.

It’s a red flag because they want their search results to be the best that they can be and so want to rank websites in their results that visitors are satisfied with when they click through to them. One of the measurable factors that indicate that satisfaction is the length of time those visitors remain on the website in question
