Search engine optimization(SEO) holds a key place in most companys digital marketing strategy. Grappling with the Internet is one of the typical digital marketing campaigns most dynamic parameters, not least because Google frequently changes its policies. Hence, companies must keep up to stay competitive in the race to rank highly on SERP (search engine result pages).

According to a Michigan SEO company, there will be many changes occurring in 2023 owing to changes in Googles policies and shifts in customer behavior. A spokesperson for Detroit Internet Marketing has explained to Digital Journal why businesses must be on their toes to remain visible and relevant on search engine results pages.

The advice provided is that while the nature of SEO is such that it is constantly evolving, and no one knows the exact formula to ace the Google search result pages, thorough research can reveal the trends that bear the most fruitful results.

This advice in relation to the optimal SEO trends is:

The E-A-T philosophy is one parameter by which Google ranks different web pages on its search engine results pages. Here E represents expertise meaning the webpage writing the content must be content-specific. It means a health blog shouldnt be writing about sports or politics just to fill in keywords to rank higher on SERP. Then comes authoritativeness and trustworthiness, which also relate to specific and trustworthy content.

Google introduced the EAT concept in its Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines to guarantee the top-ranked search results are the ones with the highest quality of content rather than the highest frequency of keywords. E-A-T is used as a ranking factor in Googles algorithm and is particularly important for websites that provide health, finance, and legal information. The guidelines measure the quality and credibility of the author and, thus, the content itself, meaning high-quality content will likely rank higher.

Featured snippets and zero-click snippets appear at the top of SERPs. Googles recent inclination to prioritize such snippets underscores other organic content, but it is one of the many things that make SEO difficult to master fully. These snippets offer quick and direct answers to users queries by displaying a brief excerpt from a webpage that directly answers a users query. Featured snippets are typically displayed in a box format and often include images or other multimedia elements.

Websites that provide optimized content for featured snippets have benefited from increased visibility and traffic to their site. Meanwhile, zero-click snippets offer users the required information without visiting the source webpage. These snippets sometimes include weather forecasts, sports scores, or basic facts and definitions. Websites that prioritize providing valuable, informative content have reaped the benefits of frequent spots in the featured snippets section.

Video content is becoming increasingly popular, and search engines are giving more weight to video content in their algorithms. Google is also responding to this large intake by customers of video content by including many search results in the form of videos. Thus, its been noticed that optimizing video content on web pages in a way that is picked up by search engines has been critical to a brands success. This has been possible by adding necessary keywords to the video along with a concise yet explanatory description of the video.

AI-powered tools and techniques are already used in SEO, and their importance will only increase in 2023. The recent updates by Google look to stem the flow of AI-generated content, but many organizations are leveraging AI without sacrificing the human element. AI is now being looked up to as a content idea creator rather than a content creator in itself.

Using AI tools for idea generation, content briefs, and outline creation and, ultimately, generating helpful blog ideas is something many brands have used to churn out high-quality content. Google looks for content designed for humans and not machines and that is why working on AI-generated ideas but using human authors has given desired outcomes. Using AI tools has saved much time, otherwise consumed by writers block for many authors.

The spokesperson for Detroit Internet Marketing concludes: As search engines evolve and consumers online behaviors change, SEO trends will continue to shift. With the predicted changes in SEO trends for 2023, businesses will be staying on top of their game to remain visible and relevant on search engine result pages. Businesses will be adapting their SEO strategies per the latest guidelines to improve their rankings and stay ahead of the competition.

According to the report, the global Internet of Sense market is expected to grow from USD 8.56 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 33.67 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 25.6% from 2023 to 2033.

One of the key drivers of the IoS market is the growing demand for personalized experiences, as businesses seek to engage customers on a more emotional level.

Internet of Sense Market: The Internet of Sense Market Size is to Attain a Valuation of USD 33.67 Billion by 2 - openPR

Aliyah Boston, one of the most dominant and decorated players in womens college basketball, was selected with the top pick in the W.N.B.A. draft Monday night.

Its a big deal a milestone for any player and a key day for building excitement as a new W.N.B.A. season is soon to begin.

But in the lead-up to the big event, much of the conversation around womens hoops swirled around two players returning to the college game not heading off to the pros.

Since Angel Reese made a mocking gesture to Caitlin Clark at the end of the N.C.A.A. Division I championship game between Louisiana State and Iowa nearly two weeks ago, players, fans and internet rabble-rousers have weighed in on racial double standards that exist in the womens game: How ponytailed, high-scoring white players are lauded for their brashness while Black women who talk trash are vilified for it.

The matter of racial hypocrisy has been a bone of contention in the W.N.B.A., a league where 80 percent of players are women of color but that, players say, has struggled to promote its Black stars. Nneka Ogwumike, the president of the Womens National Basketball Players Association and one of the leagues most compelling talents, lamented that the style, skill and personalities of Black women drive the league forward, but when it comes to the perception, the reception and the marketing of womens professional basketball, they dont get the credit.

White stars such as Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird and Kelsey Plum have made similarly sharp observations.

Plum, a guard for the Las Vegas Aces, has said that when she entered the league as the No. 1 draft pick in 2017, she felt she was getting preferential treatment from the leagues marketing machinery because she is straight and white. Its absolutely a problem in our league. Just straight up.

Is there any hope that the league will know what to do with Boston, who became a star of college basketball last season during South Carolinas run to a national title?

She emerged as the consensus national player of the year in 2022 as much for her personality as her skill. During national broadcasts, Boston showcased her playfulness, her dancing and her candid thoughtfulness during interviews, where she selected her words as carefully as she selects the pinks or oranges or blues of her next set of braids.

In a perfect world, she will end up being embraced and promoted as much as her white counterparts in a league still struggling to gain a foothold with the average sports fan.

I want to believe the slew of talented, young Black basketball players taken in the W.N.B.A. draft will end up being as embraced and promoted as much as their white counterparts.

But I cant say they will.

Ogwumike, who won both the W.N.B.A. title and Most Valuable Player Award while starring for the Los Angeles Sparks in 2016, said that at the start of each season, the league still emphasizes to players the importance of decorum.

Theres this perception that they want our game to be family oriented and that means no trash talking and no real, like, true natural expression, she said.

Ogwumike said every year she has pushed back against the demand, couched as respect for the game, because were not allowed to be our full selves within reason, adding that her male peers in the N.B.A. are admired and looked up to for their antics.

Elevating the contributions of the W.N.B.A.s Black talent is high on the list of ways players would like their league to evolve.

Case in point: The league increasingly markets itself as a cultural trendsetter. Pointing to off-court fashion as one example think of the camera shots of players clad in boundary-pushing, often gender-bending attire as they head to arena locker rooms Ogwumike said those who are starting the trends are often not getting their due.

There are lot of Black players in the W who have been dressing fashionably for a long time and setting trends for a long time, she said. But they are not the ones being recognized as trendsetters.

The tilt toward whiteness can be quantified.

A recent study of W.N.B.A. media exposure on the popular websites ESPN, CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated found a yawning coverage gap between the races. People like me, journalists who cover womens basketball and care about the untapped potential of womens sports, need to look in the mirror and think about who were focusing on and how we are talking about them.

In 2020, a year when race was at the forefront of the American conversation, Black players won 80 percent of the leagues postseason awards: M.V.P., Rookie of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year, to name three. And yet, according to the studys University of Massachusetts researchers, Risa Isard and Nicole Melton, Black players received roughly 50 percent less focused attention than their white counterparts.

That same year, the W.N.B.A. invested more in marketing, committing to spending $1 million annually to highlight performance and diversity, which has directly impacted several Black players such as Aja Wilson, Betnijah Laney and Jonquel Jones. And as part of a $75 million investment raised in 2022, the W.N.B.A. planned to prioritize marketing and improving its website and app.

Another nugget: The former South Carolina star Wilson, who has won two M.V.P. Awards since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2018 by the Aces, was the only Black player in 2020 to receive more media attention than Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

In 2021, Wilson was the only Black player to crack the top five in jersey sales, trailing Sabrina Ionescu, Bird, and Diana Taurasi, and ranking just ahead of Stewart.

No, Im not saying the W.N.B.A. is rife with abject racism. Far from it, the W.N.B.A. is a model in many ways.

That said, the league is simply a microcosm of a broader world that struggles mightily with all of the vexing issues around race.

Its time to move past the old dichotomies and expand the range of what is possible for female athletes. The W.N.B.A. can help by fully embracing the stories of Boston and Stewart and Wilson, along with all the other players of every hue and identity who strut their stuff in their own distinctive ways.

Lets see the league showcase that.
