This should help you tackle more of the market share for individual SERPs as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, true mobile optimization comes with connecting your different pieces of content to make them more shareable and social friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10096 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Social-Sharing-Buttons.jpg\" alt=\"social-sharing-buttons\" width=\"488\" height=\"184\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As opposed to regular content campaigns where you can rely on backlinks and SEO ranking to increase your visibility, mobile content is dispersed primarily through sharing instead of linking. This re-prioritizes how you write your content. Especially when coupled with Google\u2019s mobile-first algorithm that prioritizes direct, simplified answers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of focusing on repeating the keywords that are entered into the search bar, you now need to be answering the actual questions asked. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why aiming for the Featured Snippet has become the goal of many an SEO agency, where the top 3 SERP rankings use to be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Optimizing for Social<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of working with keywords, play around with your meta descriptions and offer your readers specific \u201csneak peeks\u201d of what the piece offers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent study showed that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there is a weak correlation between reads and share time. Over 60% of shares occur without actually reading the post<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means that people are sharing without actually reading your piece &#8211; better make that featured image and display ad tantalizing enough to share without ever even being clicked on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your content\u2019s promotion is reliant on social media platforms, you need to tailor the format of your display ads as well as your copy to better account for mobile attention spans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making sure that your pieces are well connected to one another both through linking and subject matter will help you impress the Knowledge Graph. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your title tags and meta descriptions directed and answer driven for user queries, along with using awesome creatives for your display ads, will <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase shareability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; which drives a large portion of mobile discovery today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, attacking more semantic phrasings for topics instead of relying on a generic keyword that is unnatural to the actual conversation will help you adapt to more natural user-search engine interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Mobile Results: Stingy Mobile Searches<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The increased mobilization of search has had a strong influence on the way we search marketers to perform keyword research and strategize our content roadmaps.

The customized keyboard links Google\u2019s mobile-first algorithms with its predictive search capabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gboard is a Google infused keyboard, simply put. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is significant about the GBoard<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, however, is that it has a default preference for Knowledge Graph answers and Featured Snippets. That means that connected content, as well as direct answers and definitions, take priority for Google\u2019s mobile SERPs. And with the Gboard, the real estate value of that SERP has never been higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10097 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAk4AAAAJGU1YTUxZTgzLTMyYjYtNGQwZC04YjNhLTBhMGU0N2JkMzU1Zg.jpg\" alt=\"aaeaaqaaaaaaaak4aaaajgu1ytuxztgzltmyyjytngqwzc04yjnhltbhmgu0n2jkmzu1zg\" width=\"402\" height=\"463\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice anything funny about the mobile SERP above?

That\u2019s right. The Gboard\u2019s mobile SERP has only a single result on the display at a time within the SERP carousel. This means aiming for page 1 of the SERP, or the top five results on page 1, won\u2019t cut it anymore. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over half of all search interactions beginning on a mobile device, you need to know how rank and convert on mobile SERPs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that means knowing how to get to the top result for a mobile search query.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Voice Search<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You wouldn\u2019t have thought, back when you first heard Siri\u2019s voice, that digital assistants like her would be revolutionizing the search marketing industry. But Siri, Cortana, Alexa, and Google Now are drastically changing the way mobile users interact with search engines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of the difference between a typed-in keyword search and you asking Siri a question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10101 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/150728115916-smart-assistants-figures-780x439.jpg\" alt=\"150728115916-smart-assistants-figures-780x439\" width=\"382\" height=\"215\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Semantic search is overtaking keyword searches through Digital assistants and voice search<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0capabilities.

These also combine with local ads. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most obvious change to search optimization that comes with voice search is also the issue that is plaguing content marketers struggling with semantic search.
