If you didn\u2019t have time to keep on top of the SEO headlines affecting your online Brighton business last month, you could be missing out on fresh opportunities<\/p>\n

to keep ahead of the curve, stay on Google\u2019s good side and improve your search engine rankings. Make yourself a nice cup of coffee and make sure the SEO strategy for your Brighton Business<\/a> takes in to account these recent changes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Instagram overtakes Twitter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Mid-month Instagram knocked Twitter off its second best in social perch with the news that it had surpassed 400 million users, soaring past Twitter for the first time ever. Why is this important for your search strategy? Social media is essential for any Brighton SEO success and is widely considered to be a ranking factor for the search engines. If you\u2019re time poor, and who isn\u2019t?- you need to focus your efforts on the networks where you\u2019ll get the best returns.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019ve previously dismissed Instagram as a social media marketing<\/a> tool for your business, the news that is now has more active users than Twitter means it\u2019s worth rethinking your approach. If you aren\u2019t using Instagram, now could be a great time to have a look at it.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Google confirms Panda still rolling out<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you breathed a sigh of relief two months ago when Panda 4.2 made its debut and your site navigated the tricky waters unscathed, you may want to shore up your defences.<\/p>\n

      Google has confirmed that Panda 4.2 is still rolling out \u2013 almost three months after it was introduced. The search engine says this will be the case for some time to come so you can\u2019t relax just yet.<\/p>\n

      There is still the potential for your site to be sent off course by Panda 4.2. What does this mean for your SEO<\/a>? Be vigilant about link audits, content audits and best practice. Just because you haven\u2019t noticed a difference yet, doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Pinterest reveals user figures and lowest ad opt out rates in the industry<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Pinterest CEO\u00a0Ben Silbermann told Ad Week in New York that it now has 100 million active users (admittedly mainly in the USA) and the lowest ad opt out rate in the industry. What does this mean? Ads are still fairly new on Pinterest so you may not yet have bought into the promoted pins or buyable pins functions that were introduced in the summer.<\/p>\n

        However, with the ability to buy direct from a pin, it is worth exploring if you have an e-commerce business. Silbermann said the low ad opt-out rates mean the site offers an excellent return on investment for advertisers.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Google adds customer match<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Google has\u00a0introduced a customer match feature for AdWords\u00a0<\/a>advertisers. For brands that upload their customer details, there is now the potential to display hyper targeted advertising and match advert targeting to user profiles through demographic and behaviour comparison.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Google takes hard line against repeated offenders<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Google published a post on its Webmaster Central blog warning that websites which are repeatedly found to be in violation of the search engine\u2019s good practices guidelines\u00a0could be banned for life.<\/p>\n

            It says some sites try to fool the search engines by removing bad links when hit with a manual action, only to reinstate them when the penalty has been removed. Google says it is now wise to this practice and sites that persist with this strategy will face permanent exclusion from the Search Engine Results Pages. The takeaway from this? You can\u2019t fool Google so do your Brighton business SEO<\/a> properly!<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Dynamic Callout Extensions Added to AdWords<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Towards the end of September Google unveiled dynamic callouts for AdWords. This new technology is used to automate some ad text \u2013 it will pull certain information about your business and your product from your website and automatically insert it into your AdWords ads.<\/p>\n

              What does this mean for your AdWords campaign<\/a>? Dynamic callouts can make your PPC ads much more compelling. You can opt out if you want to retain full control over ad text though.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. The millennials are coming<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                If your business targets the Millennials then your social strategy in particular needs to be on point. comScore data found US Millennials spend an average of 30 hours a month browsing social media sites from a mobile device. 26 of the 30 hours were spent on Facebook.<\/p>\n

                What does this mean for your digital strategy? If consumers between the ages of 18-35 are important to your business, their online and mobile behaviour should be dictating your online marketing strategy. You need to be where they are.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Structured markup could be a ranking factor after all<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Google\u2019s John Mueller threw the Internet into chaos again recently when he said that sites not using structured data markup could see their\u00a0search engine rankings slide. This is in direct contradiction to what Google has said previously. The lesson? If you aren\u2019t using structured data already, it\u2019s time to plan it.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. TrueView rolled out to AdWords advertisers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Right back at the beginning of the month, Google announced that \u201cTrueView\u201d would display alongside Search, Shopping and Display campaigns\u00a0in the AdWords interface.<\/p>\n

                    The change meant three new reporting columns and the capability to manage TrueVideo video campaigns from the AdWords dashboard.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Mobile pushes changes in Google Display Network<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      The expanding importance of mobile has led to new improvements in Google\u2019s display network. The changes include more transparency in the AdWords audience insights and a fresh approach to dynamic remarketing.<\/p>\n

                      What does this mean for your search program? Check you are making the most of the new features ahead of the busy Christmas season. If you haven\u2019t logged into your AdWords interface for a while, make the time to do so today.<\/p>\n

                      If you outsource the management to a PPC agency<\/a>, schedule a call and check that all of the new features rolled out this month or being used to maximum effect in your campaign.<\/p>\n
