🤔 Did you know, Google doesn't care about your About Us and Contact pages on your website...? We get asked this a lot... "Is having Contact and About Us pages on our website crucial for Google ranking?" Let's decode the mystery! Recently, Google’s John Mueller shared insights on this hot topic. A user questioned the importance of these pages, considering their niche sport directory/blog. John's response was eye-opening: while there are solid reasons to have them, Google's documentation doesn't mandate it as a make-or-break rule. 💡 So why bother? Having these pages isn't just about pleasing Google; it's about building trust with your audience. Clear communication about your site's creators boosts credibility and encourages return visits and conversions. 💼 Think about it: ✔️ It signals authenticity. ✔️ It fosters trust. ✔️ It enhances user experience. Sure, Google doesn't really care about it, but your users might! Remember, a positive user experience can translate into more revenue in the long run. So, while Google's guidelines are essential, always prioritise your users' needs and expectations over ranking. They're the real MVPs! 🌟 #SEO #UserExperience #DigitalMarketing

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐀𝐝𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 Google's Danny Sullivan clarifies that websites with ads can rank well in search results. Excessive or intrusive ads may indirectly impact rankings by disrupting user experience. Maintaining a balance between monetization and user satisfaction is key for strong rankings. While ads aren't direct ranking factors, they can affect page experience, which influences rankings. Despite concerns, many sites with ads have seen improvements in rankings post-core update. The debate raises questions about fairness in Google's approach to smaller sites reliant on ad revenue. It underscores the importance of prioritizing user experience alongside ad monetization for SEO success.

In a move to cater to users' diverse preferences, Google has launched a new "Web" filter option that displays only text-based links in search results. This feature has started rolling out globally and will be available to all users within the next day or two. The "Web" filter appears alongside other existing filters like Images, Videos, News, etc., either at the top of the search results page or within the "More" option. When selected, it will show only traditional website links, excluding other types of results such as images, videos, or other rich media. According to Google's Search Liaison Twitter account, the rationale behind this new filter is to address the needs of users who prefer text-based content in certain situations. Some examples provided include: ✅ Users looking for longer-form text documents or in-depth written information. ✅ Users with limited internet access or bandwidth constraints, where text-based pages load faster. ✅ Users who simply prefer a more traditional, text-focused browsing experience. By introducing the "Web" filter, Google aims to provide users with more control over the types of results they see, catering to different use cases and personal preferences. While the primary focus of modern search engines has been on delivering rich, multimedia content, this move acknowledges the ongoing importance of text-based information for certain queries and user groups. As with any major change to the search experience, the impact of this new filter on user behaviour, engagement, and potential implications shall be seen.

Ever thought? When a website doesn't rank well on Google (or any other dominant search engine for that matter), it's like having a shop in a quiet alley where hardly anyone walks by. You put effort into making it look nice and stocking it with great products, but not enough people find their way to your door. This means fewer visitors, fewer customers, and ultimately, less success for your business online. Ranking on Google or other search engines is like having a prime spot on a busy street—it brings in more people who are looking for what you offer. The reverse can really slow down your online growth and visibility. #googleseo #websiteranking #digitalvisibility #onlinepresence #searchengineoptimization #SEOstrategy #websiteperformance #onlinebusiness #webtraffic #google #bing #yahoo #freelance
