Google Algorithm Update for 2021 Overview

SEO includes several variables, and you can see improvements in the search engine rankings based on any of them. This involves simple strategies like using keywords, ensuring the content is appropriate to the page’s keywords and titles. This will help in providing a quick load time. These all play a part in ensuring that the person who uses Google finds relevant information. This information is for that specific search and enters it in a search term. This could be for local services, some topic information, or even for shopping purposes.

The emphasis on those parameters often shifts as the algorithm changes. Google launched ‘Panda’ in 2016, for example, an update to the algorithm that prioritized websites with content of high quality. The days of keyword stuffing, redundant content, or very little content to place highly on the search results are gone.

Page Experience Update

The new Google algorithm update for 2021 shifts the focus on the web visitor’s page experience. That means your rating now depends heavily on how well users can access and connect with your website. With a few recent features, the focus on user experience builds on those pre-existing requirements. Criteria for updating this algorithm include:

• Loading
• Interactivity
• Visual stability
• Mobile-friendliness
• Safe browsing
• Https
• Intrusive interstitial guidelines

Google algorithm update for 2021 is called Page Experience Update.

Why is Google starting this new algorithm?

Both internal studies and broader industry research show that users prefer sites that provide user-friendly experiences. In recent years, Google has added several ranking results factors that determine the user experience. It includes as to how fast the page loads the content (page speed) and mobile-friendliness.

Earlier in May 2020, the Chrome team revealed Core Web Vitals better to quantify the web user experience of site owners. It is a collection of metrics related to speed, responsiveness, and visual stability. Core Web Vitals are a series of real-world, user-centered metrics and measure critical aspects of user experience. They calculate web usability dimensions such as loading time, interactivity, and the quality of content as it loads. The Google algorithm update for 2021 aims to provide a holistic image of the user experience. This means that the better it is for your rankings, the more you follow all of the criteria. It will provide a better experience for your website visitors.

If your overall website experience is positive, Google will drive you higher-a few bad pages among several good sites. It will not see your ranking fall. Keeping an eye on user experience will be crucial to pushing the ranks up, though. Some things to look at while making these changes are the popups on your website. Also, consider whether a mobile device uses some features on your website. Because mobile traffic now accounts for more than half of all web traffic.

Why is user experience necessary?

User experience is indeed a significant part of SEO. This is because good experience with the user allows the web visitor to stay longer on the website and eventually click around more than if they were bad. This then indicates to Google that the search query was good at showing you on the results page. A user who sticks around on page tells Google that your website is a significant outcome and a match for him. Thus, your website may be the best place for other people looking for that specific word or similar searches.

The promotion on their website of businesses with good user experience pushes more websites to be enhanced. This also increases the probability that site users will turn to pay customers (or some other conversion). And this will lead to improved business success afterward.

So not only optimizing your site for user experience would improve conversion rate, but it will also raise Google rankings!

Consider the infamous “dispense with a horse” advertisement for The Winton Motor Carriage. It appeared in Scientific American in July 1898, and is considered the first automobile advertisement ever run in the United States. I recently acquired one of the few remaining intact magazines, which will be on display at NADA.

Automotive In-Market Advertising circa 1898

Those of us at the forefront of digital marketing like to think that we’re brave innovators charting new frontiers in business-customer communications. In reality, we are building on a rich history that stretches back more than a century.

Today, the ad would most likely be delivered in the form below; ultimately just a variation on the theme, but in a medium that couldn’t have been fathomed at the time.

Scientific American was not light reading for the masses, but a highly technical newspaper read by wealthy industrialists and researchers looking for information on the latest patents. Its audience was well-educated and fascinated by technology; a fertile ground for the early adopters who could make or break new products. By choosing Scientific American, Winton put their advertising budget where it would do the most good and get the best possible results.

Winton determined two factors that would make their ad a success:

• The ad must appear where the best potential customers will see it.
• The ad must speak to that audience’s needs.

To that end, the choice of Scientific American for the first automobile ad is not a coincidence. It is targeted advertising. Winton’s “horseless carriage” sold for $1,000, the equivalent of $27,479.23 today. While the relative price of cars has remained largely unchanged for more than a century, average daily wages in 1898 were $2.43, which put the Winton out of reach for all but the wealthiest Americans.

The ad was designed to reach those wealthy, technology-oriented early adopters, and it worked. Winton sold their first vehicle to Robert Allison, who saw their ad in Scientific American. Perhaps the list of features, such as pneumatic tires, ball bearings and suspension wire wheels, closed the deal. Perhaps Mr. Allison was enticed by the economy the car offered, costing just half a cent per mile to operate, compared to the much higher costs of feeding, watering and stabling horses. Whatever the motivation, in that moment, Winton proved not just that automobile marketing works, but that targeted automobile advertising works.

Automotive In-Market Advertising circa 2017

Today, nearly any agency and even a myriad of products can write an ad that aligns with customer needs. The challenge lies in finding groups of the right buyers, cost-effectively, at the right time, in an ever-growing environment of digital noise. More data has, in some cases, complicated the search, which is why C-4 Analytics has developed its new AIM platform, which targets specific automotive audiences rather than keywords or a specific buyer.

To increase your sales you need to reach motivated, in-market customers who have shown a clear intent to buy. These are buyers who have visited your specials pages, gone to AutoTrader or Cars.com, perhaps even requested an e-price from one of your competitors. Reaching one or two of these buyers cost-effectively on Facebook won’t impact your monthly sales; you need to reach them by the dozens. C-4 Analytics’ new AIM platform is the only solution of its kind that can isolate and deliver groups of customers—in-market audiences—to your dealership by tapping into previously inaccessible data streams from major online auto shopping, listing and review sites. And it can do so without the need to, hassle of or cost of negotiating with each of these third-party automotive sites individually to gain access to their customer, buyer and data sets.

The best lessons from yesterday meet the data-driven marketing strategies of today at NADA 2017.

Get direct access to highly targeted, local, in-market customers, who have visited third-party sites and are ready to buy. C-4 Analytics’ new AIM program may be the most unfair competitive advantage we have ever offered, and you will want to see us at NADA to find out how it can improve your sales.

As we begin to write the next chapter of C-4 Analytics, we do so with a healthy regard for our history and the history of our industry. Whether you want to hold the top place in your market or the first automotive ad in your hands, Stop by Booth 4501 for a demo of our new AIM Network to see the targeting of yesteryear in the flesh yourself. The first ten people to mention this post will receive a high-resolution print made from the original “dispense with a horse” ad that started it all.
