1. Time To Understand Your Audience

In 2019 SEO Trends are pretty easy to understand to best suit your audience. Be it text, images or video. Your audience will respond better to one of these avenues.

Depending on your site your audience may prefer text. But on Social networks, they prefer video or images.

Perfect, easy way to this is to write a blog post and record yourself summarizing it on your smartphone and upload it to Facebook and Instagram .

Take a picture of your store or project and put it up there. Either way, it won’t take long to figure out which avenue works. And if blogging in text form doesn’t work then vlog it. That’s video blogging for the ones not in the know.

2. There Is More Than Google Search

So besides Google, there is Bing and still Yahoo. Some people still use Yahoo, I know it pains me as well. But, still, have to make sure you are showing it up there.

Bing has a webmaster tool that you should get used to working with as well.

Don’t forget YouTube. Besides Google and Bing, Youtube is a growing search engine.
As I like to say YouTube university will help you learn to do everything from tieing your shoes to rebuilding your car engine. I know so cool.

3. Structured Data. USE IT!

Structured Data is key in helping Google crawl your site and place it where it will help answer it’s users questions.

So let’s say you are a local business with a storefront, a local business Schema (Structured Data) in the header of your site will tell Google about your business without having to search your site for the information to place you.

Now, I know your sweating bullets at the moment, relax there is a tool that does it all for you. Well except place it on your site. You can find the Structured Data tool here.

Once that is done you need to put that in the header of your site before you see this tag /head. In WordPress, you go to Appearance > Editor and Find Theme Header in the right pane and click on it. Find the /head and right above that paste in the code and click the update button. Bam you are done.
