There are some SEO tactics\u2014like keyword stuffing\u2014that have become outdated, while others have become a best practice. Not only is search engine optimization a long-term investment in your website, it\u2019s also a time commitment that leaner digital marketing teams may not have the capacity for. Luckily, there are some proven tactics you can start TODAY to see quick SEO wins for your website!\n1. Lean into Semantic Search\nBack in 2008, SEOs were more focused on keyword stuffing and adding as many backlinks as possible to improve search rankings. The goal was to appear for as many related terms in the highest position possible on SERPs (search engine results pages). Over ten years later, the shift towards semantic search and a more entity-based approach has become a best practice for advanced SEO.\n\nIn September 2013, Google announced the algorithm update Hummingbird, designed to handle more complex queries. This was the first time the search algorithm was rewritten in about 12 years. While Hummingbird did not seem to have a negative effect on website performance, SEOs started noticing that the algorithm update was having a positive effect on the accuracy of Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph, which is a digital database of information from sources Google trusts\u2014launched just one year before the Hummingbird announcement. Google was placing more importance on search intent when supplying information in the SERPs. For Google to produce results that will satisfy a user\u2019s search intent is where semantic search comes in.\nWhat is Semantic Search?\nSemantics is the philosophical study of meaning. Semantic search is the process of search engines generating the most accurate SERPs possible by looking at the intent and context of a user\u2019s search query. It\u2019s artificial intelligence attempting to understand natural language the way a human would. Each search query is driven by something, and it\u2019s our job as SEOs to understand that motivation. For example, if someone uses the phrase \u201chow to\u201d in their search query, that user is looking for a list of steps and will focus on the most relevant, helpful content in the SERPs.\n\u26a1\ufe0f PRO TIP\nAdd HowTo structured data to your how-to content to stand out from the competition with enhanced search results.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12861\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=1140%2C591&ssl=1\" alt=\"ZenBusiness HowTo Result\" width=\"1920\" height=\"995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=1140%2C591&ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-300x155.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-1024x531.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-600x311.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-768x398.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-1158x600.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1158w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-80x41.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-200x104.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-448x232.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 448w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-116x60.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 116w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-193x100.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 193w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-140x73.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-400x207.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-220x114.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-100x52.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-450x233.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-1300x674.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-150x78.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result-30x16.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=684&ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ZenBusiness-HowTo-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=912&ssl=1 912w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/>\nTip #1\nStop keyword stuffing and start evolving your content to meet the \u201csomething\u201d people are looking for.\n2. Consider User Intent in your Content Strategy\nYou want your content type to match the query. For a \u201chow to\u201d query, you need how-to content on your site; for a \u201cfrequently asked question\u201d, you need FAQ content. Not only will this satisfy search intent, but it will also help search engines understand the context and relevance of your content, so that Google can better match search queries to information on your site. \nYou can help Google contextualize your website content with a technical SEO practice called structured data, also known as schema markup. Schema markup is a form of microdata that provides additional information to search engines when added to your website. When all required and recommended properties are added, your content will be eligible for enhanced search experiences called rich results, making your content appear more prominently in the SERPs.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12896\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=1140%2C748&ssl=1\" alt=\"Slack FAQ Rich Result\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-300x197.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-1024x672.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-600x394.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-768x504.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-914x600.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 914w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-80x53.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-200x131.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-354x232.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 354w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-91x60.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 91w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-152x100.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 152w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-140x92.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-400x263.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-220x144.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-100x66.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-450x295.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-1300x853.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 1300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-150x98.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-30x20.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result-50x33.png?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=684&ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Slack-FAQ-Rich-Result.png?strip=all&lossy=1&w=1140&ssl=1 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/>\nSchema markup is especially important during the age of Hummingbird\u2014when how Google interprets the context of a query will determine the quality of a search result.\nWe like to tell our customers that structured data should be a part of their content strategy.

Build Connections with Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph\nHummingbird uses natural language processing to ensure that entire pages of content match search intent, not just a few words on the page. For this reason, creating quality content that is helpful and informative for your customers is more effective than just including popular keyphrases on your web pages to rank higher in SERPs. By creating connections with structured data between your content and entities defined in Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph, you can help search engines better relate your information to what a user is searching for.\nWhat is a Knowledge Graph?\nA search engine\u2019s knowledge graph is a database of facts about people, places and things from trusted sources like Wikipedia. Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph allows it to easily answer factual questions with publicly available information, like the height of the Eiffel Tower, for example.\nHow does Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph Work?\nThe Knowledge Graph Search API lets you find entities\u2014people, places and things\u2014defined in Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph. You can define objects on your web pages as distinct entities with their own properties and relationships to other entities through structured data like schema markup. Once defined, link your entities to Google\u2019s Knowledge Graph with structured data so that search engines can easily relate your information to a user\u2019s intent.\nWhat is the difference between a Knowledge Graph and a Knowledge Panel?\nIt\u2019s easy to get confused between the Google Knowledge Graph and Google Knowledge Panels. Sometimes, Google search will show special boxes with information about people, places or things.

This content should support both your SEO and overall business goals.\nWhat is E-E-A-T?\nGoogle first introduced the concept of E-A-T in its 2014 edition of Search Quality Guidelines. In December 2022, a new iteration of E-E-A-T was introduced, where an extra \u2018E\u2019 was added to emphasize the importance of demonstrating \u2018experience\u2019 in website content. \nThe ultimate goal of a search engine is to return accurate, truthful, and useful information to satisfy search intent, and E-E-A-T fundamentally supports that. It\u2019s an important factor that Google uses to evaluate the quality of a web page.
