SEO tips to boost the ranking of new content quickly

Every time there is new content to publish, the end goal is for users to land on it as fast as possible in terms of search results. Here are our top six SEO tips in getting the mission accomplished.

Linking from the important pages
This is quite a basic yet very important step every time new content goes up. Ensure all the primary pages in focus are always linked. It could be your home page, links in your content, a blog you maintain or even the sources you used to publish the content.

Routine updation of old content
Every now and then visit the existing content and recheck if the facts mentioned need any correction. Also, add relevant links wherever possible. This way every content you have always stays updated and relevant for the present times. Writing unique meta descriptions that are relevant to capture user attention is important as well. Ensure it has all the right keywords and is placed simply, yet intelligently.

Share socially as much as possible
The easiest way to boost your view count is to increase the presence of your content on every social media field possible because there’s a high correlation between sharing socially and ranking of content. When content is shared on aggregators like Reddit it creates actual links for Google to crawl. Seeing the social activity on sites like Reddit and Hacker News, your ranking improves with Google.

Generate search clicks
Instead of sharing directly to the required URL, a smarter way is to share it to a Google search result. When viewers click on the link it takes them to a Google search result that has the keywords you’re trying to rank for, and ultimately people will search and land on your result. This boosts your click rate and helps in the auto suggestion of queries.

Indexing the URL
Indexing the URL is a step most leave by. Google provides a number of tools for this like the ‘URL Inspection tool’. It allows you to submit a URL and suggests Google to crawl it. This way, the URL will be in their priority crawl queue and in turn your content gets indexed faster. Take note that the URL you use is something easy to comprehend for both the users and search engines as well.

Analysing the page loading speed
The page loading speed is yet another crucial factor that affects the SEO ranking and helps reduce users from bouncing off your sites. There are various tools available online for assessing your page loading speed. The page score is an average of multiple factors and you’ll be provided insights on how to improve the speed or what the specific speed killers are.

Stories and Sales. The New Media Mantra.

If you are into social media you definitely must’ve heard,’ if it doesn’t show up on Instagram, did it even happen? ‘

On a daily, more than a billion Stories are shared across Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp. It is surprising that Stories have captured people’s imaginations. Arguably so, because they are convenient, full-screen, and immersive just the right place to show creativity. It is an incredibly easy way for people to stay connected to the brands and products they love. Stories are the new canvas and inventive creatives can boost brand awareness, drive sales and business.

Leading brands are turning to Stories to become engaging storytellers. Breaking rules and fresh ideas as always is the key to keep things interesting. Let’s look into some major brands that are crushing on stories and killing it too.

Taking a bite at the cringe-worthy vacay photos from romantic beach vacay sunset, to infinity pool shots and their likes, Hotels.com brings forth this “hate-like” concept as the foundation of their campaign.

For Stories, Hotels.com put their icon, a hotel concierge in a number of situations that could spark a good ‘hate-like’. At the beach, He does the jump, asking “If you don’t take a #jumpingpic on your trip, are you even making memories?” In his luxurious hotel, he words “If you don’t take a #mirrorselfie, does your hotel even have a bathroom?”

The whole campaign spoke to the audience in a natural and native way with humor and relatability at its core.

McDonald’s came up with a campaign that played with the often projected idyllic perception of summer and the reality that summer can actually be hard work. To popularize its Fresh Beef Quarter Pounder burgers during summer, McD took to homemade photo fail as well as user-generated “summer fail” videos to portray the difficult side of summer. The campaign then reminded people that McDonald’s Quarter Pounder is easy, lazy and therefore quintessential for the season, and punchlined it as summer’s simplest pleasure.


The Lit way to Read

In this age, books may be a task to promote but not at New York Public Library. They toyed with the novel idea of Stories(social media) to tell stories. They employed the fast and fleeting media to project full works of classic literary fiction. How it works? People can click on novels on @nypl Instagram account and simply rest their thumb on the screen to hold the page and lift their thumb to turn the page. The thumb holder doubles as a flipbook. More than 300,000 people are reading books through this format and it is a grabbing the fantasies of the audience like never before. It is also a great publicity triumph for the library.

Luxury served to millennials

Millennials have not always figured into the category that luxury cars have been catered to but not with Acura. They understand that when millenials are ready to invest in luxury cars, they are looking for luxury and performance vehicles, and typical advertising tactics may not work on this gen. Luxury carmakers generally don’t focus on millennial but Acura is, meeting them on their own turf, the mobile.

They used Stories on Instagram and enabled users to reach in to control the user experience of the Acura ILX sports sedan. Acura let Instagram users customize their dream ILX directly in Stories. They could simply tap to add custom elements such as wheels, accessories and additional packaging to their car, as well as use other branded stickers, directly onto beauty shots of the ILX. They also teamed up with top Instagram influencers and Giphy artists to create custom stickers that users could add to their ILX vehicle. Takeaway? When targeting millennials, relevancy and authenticity rule. Conversations are no more one-sided but rely on real connections between people and brands.

Our lifestyle has taken a drastic turn with the onset of Covid-19. We are in a stage where our social amenities are no longer functioning properly, our economy is crumbling and all that we can do to help is to stay at home. The global business ecosystem is reacting to the situation by bringing down the expenses and concentrating on fueling the elixirs that will make the business rolling in the future.

Most of the operations are going to be suspended for a while as their customers are forced to remain at homes. While in isolation and lack of lifestyle choices, our customers are evolving based on thought patterns, observations, and change in priorities. When Covid-19 will end for once and all, we can expect an emergence of newer customer segments.

In this narrative, we are trying to decode some of the anticipated customer changes that will have a pivotal role to play in rebuilding or rebranding your business in the post lockdown era.

They are worried if they would lose the freedom they took granted in life. A major segment of society has started to reduce their cost of living, while some others are changing their perspectives. These thoughts and changing habits are manifesting themselves in various ways.

As per expert studies, the following are the four major categories of customers who have emerged during Covid-19.

Customers who prefer to save and stockpile resources
Customers who prefer to reduce their cost of living
Customers who decide to stay calm and carry on
Customers who decide to hibernate and reduce spend
The actions of every audience segment are motivated for different reasons. However, the big question is as the economy revives, which of these trends will prevail? Or will the customers return to what they liked before?

Customers who will bounce back to normal
Customers who remain cautiously extravagant
Customers who go on to be frugal in spending
Customers who still keep cutting their expenses
Customers who will come back with a bang
Once again, these segment behaviors are also motivated by different factors. Those who remain cautiously extravagant are backed by the belief that the economy will still be in recession after Covid-19. The segment which still keeps cutting their expenses thinking they need more time to secure their jobs and retain financial stability. But as far as brands are concerned, the customer affinity towards a particular brand will be driven by how they responded to the crisis and how much they prioritized their customers beyond business.

The Future Customer

The prominence of the customer scenario is vital to plan your business strategies in the future. It is essential to understand the evolving customer models so that you can curate better marketing strategies. The rise of new customer segments means it will be high time for a change in strategies, agency product lines, service offerings, and face-lift in overall business operations.

Agile marketing will become the norm of digital marketing, where brands need to quickly adapt to the crisis by tweaking brand communications in accordance with the situation.

Why TikTok is an arsenal in the digital marketing landscape?

Social media marketing has a huge role to play in the digital landscape. They are one of the most versatile, cost-effective, and value-added strategies for every small and medium scale businesses can leverage to reach their target audience and boost up their revenue growth. Social media applications are the highest used web and mobile applications in this world. They are virtual digital fabrics woven by millions of people – an amalgamation of cultures with different interests, likes, and opinions. All the vital information – disruptive innovations, entertainment, sports, administration, politics –  everything is aligned through social media today.

TikTok Era

As one of the quickest growing social media applications, Tiktok has opened a new horizon of opportunity for digital marketing. The entire mode of consuming content in digital has been changed with the arrival of the app. By combining audio and visual formats, besides ensuring more participation of the users, Tiktok manages to become an intimidating social media platform. All the potential customer segments are able to connect more with the application. Hence most of the people find this popular video platform genuinely fun to use. It has definitely become one of the promising frontiers of social media marketing. In this episode, we are trying to analyze how Tiktok is changing the perspectives of the world.

Defining TikTok

TikTok is basically a mobile application for creating videos and sharing short videos. Formerly known as Musically, this application is much more than just kids and teens dancing and lip-syncing. In contrast to the interface of Snapchat or Instagram, TikTok uses tall display consoles to maximize the view and make it easier for users. Users can scroll up and down to view the videos like a feed, without taping left or right. They have access to all the tools – filters, the ability to search sounds, and score videos. By means of facilitating duets or combined versions, the app has managed to engage users on a whole new level.

Their archives are loaded with song clips, short moments from TV shows, films, youtube videos, etc. They have all the arsenals to communicate various themes – horror, fun, memes, and trolls. You can reply to challenges, participate in memes, or even make pun intended jokes and sarcasm across the video formats. TikTok is a social media platform that has assertive answers, choices, and bandwidth to offer for its users. As a result, people flocked more into the platform. They are feeling more excited and confident to expose more stuff, which they might be feeling reluctant if it was Instagram or any other platform.

Role of Tiktok

Tiktok has given the much-needed experience for future content creators and influencers. The framework simply allows its users to create content effortlessly. Any user with a smartphone can generate a visually engaging content within minutes and circulate around the world. With the progressing lockdown, the popularity of Tiktop has achieved robust growth as well. According to App Annie reports, the app has recorded a whopping 49 million downloads as of April 2020. As we speak, a staggering number of ads have been plastered throughout social media under the tagline of TikTok.

Popularity of TikTok

TikTok has compiled the most engaging elements and experience. It is fundamentally a new realm into social media. There was nothing similar in its pattern that served the audience earlier. The feeds are easy to digest in a hustle free interface. It took us beyond what Instagram and Twitter had taken us. While Twitter formalized conversation behavior after going into public, Instagram had noticeable algorithmic recommendations, where suggestions had less rational objectives. All these platforms had leveraged the feature to increase interaction, but TikTok – having taken video as the game ball – has taken it all around.

It has a self-directed feed that works on experience-based algorithm observations and inferences. Say, for example, the first thing when we open the app is a page called “For You”. It is an algorithmic feed based on the videos you have interacted with or watched. It’s full of content and it never lacks material for engagement. It is not unless you train it to be full of people you know, or things you’ve explicitly told it you want to see. It’s full of things that you seem to have demonstrated you want to watch, no matter what you actually say you want to watch.

User Experience

TikTok continuously learns from its users and over time builds a presumably complex but opaque model of what the users tend to watch. It starts making assumptions the second a user opens the app before they’ve really given it anything to work with. The thumb rule is pretty the same – How to engage the audience? You show them things which they like. You embark on a journey with the user. However, it also makes assumptions that other social media platforms follow as well. It unapologetically entertains the central control over the user, but it engages the users and the users are pretty much ok with it.

TikTok for Brands

Now that we are familiar with the potential of Tiktok, let’s take a look at the ways brands can make the most out of the TikTok platform. There are basically three steps to make use of the channel.

  1. Create your brands’ own channel and upload videos relevant to your business
  2. Utilize influencers to open your content to a much broader (but well-targeted) audience
  3. Pay to advertise utilizing TikTok’s new campaign options.

TikTok has a whole new level of experience to play around with the audience. Here are some of the ways the platform can be applied to notch up customer interest.

  • TikTok relies on pure and raw videos to engage the audience, which showcases people using the brand in everyday lives and how it is impacting them.
  • TikTok videos can showcase behind the scenes of every brand service/product to keep the customer excited.
  • With the increasing Gen Z category, TikTok can be a more interactive medium to educate and inform the youth and persuade them to action.
  • TikTok promises to set up user-friendly videos of the manufacturing, packaging, and marketing of the product.
  • Brands can launch effective video-oriented campaigns to encourage the audience to show what they love the most about your product and ensure maximum participation.
  • TikTok’s popularity has shaped up a huge number of influencers who can help small and medium scale enterprises to kickstart their campaign effectively.

TikTok has definitely opened up a new wave of social media marketing and we can sense there is a promise more affirmative to help brands connect with their target audience in a fresh, fun-filled, and engaging way. If you’re looking for a result-oriented digital agency to streamline your brand communications, then just drop a message, and let’s plan your digital journey!
