Google's search results have come a long way since 2016, providing consumers with better results thanks to NLP and machine learning. But, before getting to the point, their algorithm incentivized content creators to create subpar content which fostered consumer mistrust that still lingers amidst massive improvements on Google's end. Today, Mordy looks into whether Google results are getting worse.

Is Google at war with affiliate marketers? Head of SEO Branding at Wix and SEO Consultant for Semrush, Mordy Oberstein, joins the podcast today to share his high-level perspective and valuable insights to help you mitigate risk and save your rankings. In the last 12 months, there have been core updates, review updates, and spam updates. And he believes it's important to look to data for patterns to better understand the SEO ecosystem. In his roles, he has access to huge swathes of data, and to help site owners succeed, he has a vested interest in unpacking what Google seems to value in the content it rewards. Here are just a few examples of important recommendations he shares in the interview: Read the content of competitors who outrank you after an update to understand what replaced you. Use the brand sniff test to determine if your content is of high quality. Use internal linking and semantic understanding to build topical authority. Hire a content marketing agency if needed to help translate your expertise into digestible content because readability is important for user experience. He also discusses the continuing rise of AI-written content that is largely generic using similar language structures. And how adding real human experiences is key to providing unique insights and quality content. He even offers a great example people can use in product reviews to accomplish this. But Mordy says quality is a domain-level analysis, not just at the page level. And so, to improve domain-level quality scores, it is important to focus on technical health, content, and user experience. Predicting and understanding user needs is crucial. He believes quality content means targeting the audience and offering the right amount of nuance to predict their needs. And while links are a secondary signal, they may become less important as Google gets better at understanding content, with relevance and domain quality playing a more significant role in ranking in a scenario where content is generic across the web. He does believe that leveraging AI can help automate tasks that were not possible before though. AI can be used for research, understanding topics, organizing information, rewriting content, and automating tasks like writing headers and product descriptions. However, users have become more skeptical of web content due to issues such as data privacy and fake reviews. As a result, the bar for acceptable content has risen, and web content creators need to up their game. So if you're a site owner or online content creator, you'll definitely want to check out the full interview and take lots of notes!

Over the past few years, Google has gotten better and better at delivering custom SERP features for eCommerce, with new elements being released and tested on a consistent basis. These features alone are differential factors between eCommerce SEO and regular website SEO. Navigating the requirements of these features is a skill on its own. We'll dive into some of the latest eCommerce changes to the SERP and what they mean for your SEO strategy and outlook. Kristina Azarenko of MarketingSyrup SEO Academy stops by to explore the importance of internal linking and possible permutations for eCommerce SEO.

What's true and what's not about content duplication and SEO? Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding, and Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communication at Wix, discuss duplicate content truths, legends, and falsehoods on this episode of the SERPs Up SEO Podcast. Unbeknownst to many, there is no such thing as a duplicate content penalty. Google is more likely to just not index duplicate content rather than punish an entire website. It's pretty common for large websites to have duplicate or near duplicate content. In addition, many websites, especially news websites, syndicate their content to other domains. With proper attribution, Google can recognize the syndication and potentially serve up both without relying on a no-index. Listen in as the duo dispel these content duplication myths and more! Barry Adams of Polemic Digital stops by to share when to worry and when not to worry about duplicate content from an SEO point of view. Plus, Wix's own Rebecca Tomasis shares how she approaches dealing with duplicate content on the Wix Blog! Can you hear that echo, echo, echo on the SERPs Up SEO Podcast?

SEO shouldn't be siloed. Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding, and Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communication at Wix, discuss how SEOs should think about social media teams, branding, and other marketing channels. Organic Search is just one channel to bring traffic and revenue to a website. What works for one channel may or may not work on another, but you'll never know if you don't communicate with the rest of the marketing team. Your website should be considered the HQ for all digital activities, and its user experience should be consistent no matter the channel a user arrives from. As a result, SEO, social media, PPC, etc., should align with consistent messaging, content, and imagery. Depending on the size of your organization and how many hats you have to wear as a marketer, prioritization can be critical, according to iPullRank's Garrett Sussman, featured guest on the SERP's Up SEO Podcast. SEO may take six to 12 months to move the revenue needle, while PPC or social may be doing it today. Prioritize based on what's driving revenue now while making time investments in other tactics for the future. Knowing your audience is crucial when it comes to an omnichannel approach to marketing. A good way to understand who your audience is online is by using tools like SparkToro. With it, you can not only identify your audience but discover where they're at and what they like. We'll dive into how you can use the tool to fuel all of your marketing efforts from SEO to social! Let's ride the wave of the SERPs Up SEO podcast and explore omnichannel marketing!

People trust other people. Study after study has shown that people trust the content in reviews over what the brand says. That's why Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding, and Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communication at Wix, discuss the importance of encouraging user-generated reviews and their role in SEO. When talking about reviews for SEO, the focus is on user-generated reviews. This podcast investigates why getting reviews is crucial and how it impacts your organic visibility. From how reviews might affect ranking in the Local Pack to where reviews appear across the Google SERP and throughout the Google ecosystem, this podcast episode gives you a comprehensive understanding of the role reviews play in organic search.

Whether they be clients, C-level executives or marketing managers, there's a slew of both external and internal stakeholders who rely on your SEO information. Good SEO reporting puts them in the game with you. It's what gets buy-in and what proves the value of your work. After all, it's a lot easier to get a designer, developer, or another stakeholder to align with your SEO recommendations if they know that organic search drives revenue for the business. Reporting can be labor-intensive and cumbersome if you don't know what to report on, to whom to report, and which datasets are most important to focus on. That's why Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding, and Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communication at Wix, discuss the critical nature of SEO reporting in today's modern marketing and SEO departments. Joe Hall, SEO Consultant & Principal Analyst at Hall Analysis, shares his 3-pillared framework for choosing which SEO KPIs to report on: communication KPIs, strategic KPIs, and business KPIs. He explains that reporting should educate, inform, and align with key business objectives. We're talking all things SEO reporting today on the SERP's Up SEO Podcast!

Do you have the need, the need for speed?! Today we're talking about performance (also known as How Fast is this Website?) and what it means for your rankings on Google. So, how big of a deal is performance for SEO, anyway? Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding, and Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communication at Wix, do a deep dive discussing the importance of Core Web Vitals and site performance metrics in SEO today. There's a lot of conflicting information about the role of performance in SEO. How do you reconcile Google's own statements about “site speed” along with data from the industry's tool providers on the impact of Core Web Vitals? Listen in as we parse it all for you so that you have a truer understanding of the role of Core Web Vitals in rankings and beyond. Annie Sullivan, Senior Staff Software Engineer at Google, shares the main steps towards improving Core Web Vitals: measure, analyze, optimize and repeat. Hear Annie's take on identifying bottlenecks that could be impacting the website's performance. Catch up with Alon Kochba, Head of Web Performance at Wix, who discusses how the team helped improve performance across the entire Wix platform.

If they measure it, it matters. The SERP's Up team dive into the One SEO Tool to Rule Them All: Google Search Console. This free Google tool is, by far, the most important tool for site owners to understand how Google values their sites. Mordy Oberstein and Crystal Carter, heads of SEO Branding and SEO Communication at Wix, share their love of Google Search Console and unpack the importance of the platform. Google Search Console gives a wealth of information about your site: from page indexing to Google's crawl frequency, the impressions that specific pages receive, and most importantly, what issues Google seems to be having with a website. This is the main conduit of communication from Google to the site owner, and trust us - if they measure something in there, it matters. SEOs should pay attention to Video Pages (hint, hint - get them going if you haven't), Page Experience stats, mobile usability, and more. The team catches up with Lazarina Stoy, data scientist, and SEO, who shares one of her favorite features of GSC, the Links report, which can help troubleshoot internal linking strategies and improper use of anchor text.

Change. It's the one constant in life…and Google. What we relied on back years ago on the SERP (10 Blue Links) is a distant memory as search engines have added features to match the customer's intent and journey. Wix's Head of SEO Branding, Mordy Oberstein, and Head of SEO Communications, Crystal Carter, tackle the challenges and opportunities of SERP features with Kevin Indig, creator of the Growth Memo newsletter and host of the Tech Bound podcast. Jump in as we look at the SERP and all of the boxes and rectangles and squares and expandable carousels, tabs, and more. Learn what Google's SERP features say about users and Google itself… and how you can leverage them tactically and strategically.

Have we grown past the pursuit of the almighty link above every other SEO tactic? Certainly, since Google released the Penguin update in 2012, addressing link farms and other issues associated with people gaming the system, the idea of getting as many links as you can is not the path toward ranking. But still, links are still a factor. So where do links legitimately fit into a solid SEO strategy? Wix's Head of SEO Branding, Mordy Oberstein, and Head of SEO Communications, Crystal Carter, carve up the links and their role in SEO like the Halloween Jack-o-lantern. There's a shift of mindset that has to occur in SEO. Both Mordy and Crystal agree that there is an over-emphasis on links for SEO. To them, links are fundamentally about traffic and helping users. Creating quality content that makes sense to link to is fundamental and earns market credibility, not “link juice.” Still, establishing quality links is integral to a well-built SEO campaign. The right links from the right sites pointing to the right pages can impact how well you rank. Which is why Debbie Chew, SEO Manager at Dialpad, shares her three best key link-building tactics, from personalized outreach to stats posts to research reports.

Is AI writing for long-form web content the right way to go? We don't think so. Actually, if you're not careful, it may illicit action from Google. Wix's Head of SEO Branding, Mordy Oberstein, and Head of SEO Communications, Crystal Carter, address the growing use of artificial intelligence in content writing for the web in light of the most recent Google algorithm changes regarding helpful content. Is AI written content really good content? It certainly isn't differentiated and doesn't have critical thought. Even if the AI content ranks well, what are you delivering to your audience? You don't often hear the cheers for generic, mediocre content. Let alone the one thought: Whose content is it, really? Who's the author? Danny Richman, the founder of Richman SEO Training, clarifies where AI writers can be a legitimate help: classification, transformation, and translation. A key use for GPT3 is for keyword classification, done in seconds! Remember: AI-written content for rank manipulation is against Google's guidelines. To quote Mordy, “with the Helpful Content Update, which, to me, is Google saying, “We know AI written content is coming, It's already here. We need to develop an algorithm that's able to find it and weed it out“. [00:02:05] What's On This Episode of SERP's Up?

Google's recent updates to its algorithm have been all about providing information that is user-friendly and trustworthy. They're trying to think like a human user to give the best possible results. Nothing scary there! The algorithm aligns more closely with the user's needs and wants than ever before. Now the algorithm and the user have sort of been synced! Mordy Oberstein, Wix's Head of SEO Branding, and Wix's Head of SEO Communications, Crystal Carter, pilot this very helpful (get it?) conversation on providing content that the user needs to make decisions. Essentially, User-First SEO is like if you asked someone for advice, and they gave you sound advice based on their experience and qualifications. You would want to know that the person giving you the advice had your best interests at heart. User-first SEO is just that: focused on helping the user more than ranking. “Putting the user first, thinking about their pain points, and solving the user's problem is the goal, ” says Michel Fortin, as he helps us understand the concept even further. Mordy and Crystal connect with Einat Hoobian-Seybold, Wix's SEO Product Manager, in this segment of the WixVerse. They drive home the user-first mindset as they discuss Wix's products and solutions: how they are tested and how they can be useful for all users.

Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding at Wix, talks about the evolution of Google search results.

Google's response to this public distrust has taken on many forms with the shift towards multiple URLs in featured snippets being just one of them.

Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding at Wix, talks about the evolution of Google search results. The average Google user has come to expect a SERP that looks nothing like the SERPs in the past. There's an expectation that not only text links will be served, but videos, images, and other formats will be present, and this is only possible with MUM.

Mordy Oberstein, Head of SEO Branding at Wix, talks about the evolution of Google search results. Google's search results have come a long way since 2016, providing consumers with better results thanks to NLP and machine learning. But, before getting to the point, their algorithm incentivized content creators to create subpar content which fostered consumer mistrust that still lingers amidst massive improvements on Google's end. Today, Mordy looks into whether Google results are getting worse.

Keywords sure aren't what they used to be. Google is challenging SEOs to understand the user first. Here's where to start. Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communications at Wix, kicks off this episode with an explanation of keywords in search and how Google has evolved its understanding of user intent (as opposed to the literal use of the word). Along with Mordy Oberstein, Wix's Head of SEO Branding, they break it down like this: Understanding what's already on the SERP (like the actual SERP) gives you the full picture of how Google understands user intent. Analyzing the current real estate shows how users are being affected along their search pursuit. SEO legend Cindy Krum of Mobile Moxie, also jumps in and provides a solid overview of how leveraging topic-cluster knowledge guides an understanding of user intent. Entities matter a lot, and they continue to make keywords less relevant. Oh, and one more thing. We need to talk about the WixVerse and Featured Snippets.

Y a su vez, las marcas están apostando cada día más por el SEO, para lograr que los usuarios que buscan sus productos o servicios, no se vayan a otros competidores más hábiles en las búsquedas. De estos 2 conceptos, SEO y Branding, sabe mucho la persona que he invitado hoy al podcast, Rocío García Algora.

Having just come off of the high of our 100th episode, I thought it would be fun to share a quick throwback to our very first episode. I want you to recognize that we have always been committed to bringing you top quality information and strategies that you can use in your law firm right now to grow from a solopreneur to a company that ultimately can run without you. My very first episode was really a raw, uncut version of me, unfiltered with one of my favorite people in the world who owns Blue Shark Digital, which is a marketing company specific to lawyers created by a very successful lawyer - Mr. Seth Price. I hope you enjoy taking this trip down memory lane with me! In this episode we discuss: What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)? How the novice marketing lawyer can vet an SEO company SEO as the backbone of business branding What is content marketing Google's shifting algorithm as relates to blogging basics for law firms Intake processes that increase conversions in law firms Differentiating intake talent attributes for contingency-based practices verses revenue-based practices Sustaining energy and enthusiasm in intake personnel The “right” customer service mindset and experience for powerful intake conversations Guest Bio: An accomplished attorney and transformational thought leader, Seth Price is a founding partner and the business backbone of Price Benowitz LLP as well as the founder and CEO of BluShark Digital. Seth took a two-person law firm and scaled to 36 lawyers in less than a decade.

Williams, Esq., is Founder and Owner of the Williams Law Group, LLC, with offices in Short Hills and Freehold, New Jersey. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, is Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney and is the first attorney in New Jersey to become Board-Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in the field of Family Law. Ms. Williams is an accomplished businesswoman. In 2017, the Williams Law Group won the LawFirm500 award, ranking 14th of the fastest growing law firms in the nation, as Ms. Williams grew the firm 581% in three years. Ms. Williams won the Silver Stevie Award for Female Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017.

She helps solo and small law firm attorneys grow their business revenues, crush chaos in business and make more money. Through multi-day intensive business retreats, group and one-to-one coaching, and strategic planning sessions, Ms. Williams advises lawyers on all aspects of creating, sustaining and scaling a law firm business – and specifically, she teaches them the core foundational principles of marketing, sales, personnel management, communications and money management in law firms. Contact Info: Contact Law Firm Mentor: Scheduler: https://meetme.so/LawFirmMentor Snippets [00:02:56] And I also knew that he would give top quality information, not only because his marketing company services my law firm, but in particular because the information that I find he shares is easily digestible. It's something that you can use even before you hire your own digital marketing company if your budget is not yet at that place where you're ready to hire one. And I also feel that he's very relatable because like me, he has also gone through the process of using the strategies that he teaches in his own business. So there's a little bit more authenticity tried and tested truth to what he's sharing because he's done it before.
