    SEO has always been a foundational marketing strategy. It’s a simple enough equation: you want to attract business. People find new companies and products online through search engines. Therefore, your business needs to appear in those searches.

    However, though the concept is straightforward, executing it isn’t always easy. Google is constantly updating its algorithms to improve the search experience. If your web copy and content don’t live up to the new standards, your search position, rank, and traffic might drop—sharply and suddenly, seemingly for no good reason.

    So, why does Google keep changing the game?

    The answer is elementary: it’s about the people. Like any business model, B2B or B2C, marketing and product development is laser-focused on giving the people what they want. And today, what people want is answers. They want their search queries to answer questions, solve problems, and deliver solutions. One of the biggest barriers to accomplishing those goals is spammy, low-quality content—and that’s what the current algorithmic changes are cracking down on.

    Content quality and user experience are at the heart of Google’s latest SEO updates. User-centric metrics, like on-page experience and content helpfulness, are gaining importance because they are critical to a user-centric search experience.

    To champion the change, you must dive deep into your content strategy and ensure your copy, UX, and content serves customer intent. If these elements provide value to your site visitors, you’re in the clear. Poorly written content, low-quality images, or a clunky user experience will almost certainly knock you off page one (if they haven’t already).

    It should be said that optimizing for Google guidelines in 2024 is not that much different than it has been in the past. However, as many businesses today turn to generative AI to output content, content creators must pay more attention to how well the AI represents their standards.

    While Google will not penalize websites for using AI, the content must be accurate, engaging, and informative. You’ll still need to edit and revise to ensure it aligns with your buyer personas and meets brand standards.

    The first indication your site may be on the business end of the new SEO updates would be a dramatic drop in impressions and clicks. Take this as a call to arms and do a little more digging to find out:

    • What pages are the worst hit?
    • Is it all pages or just a few?
    • What search queries are related to those pages?

    Next, compare the dates of the changes to the date the update was issued. If they align, you’ve got some work to do. It’s important to check this because a drop in traffic could be for other reasons, like seasonal decline or regular ebb and flow.

    It’s also a good idea to differentiate between referral sources. What you’re most concerned with is organic search traffic as that’s what’s going to affect your SERP performance.

    Quality content should always be a priority. With Google’s SEO updates, 2024 might underperform in organic search if your content doesn’t align well with search intent.

    Here are a few tips for optimizing content, structure, and on-site SEO elements to get you through this core update.

    • Identify affected pages as outlined in the previous section. We suggest using Google Search Console to analyze and pinpoint specific issues.
    • Address technical website issues. Your Search Console analysis may reveal broken links, 404 errors, and other variables affecting your search results. Find and fix.
    • Address content quality. If specific pages or content seems to be at issue, look for clues as to why this might be. Do a little research to find competing content that ranks high for your search terms and compare. When you update your copy, aim to make your content highly relevant to your customers and site visitors.
    • Ask yourself:
      • Is the content original?
      • Does it offer unique viewpoints compared to what’s out there already?
      • Is it written with authority? Does it display expertise?
      • Does the content have a concise goal? Does it fulfill that goal?
      • Is the content actionable? Does it solve the user’s problem or answer their questions?
      • Is the content factual? Evidentiary? Error-free?
      • Would you trust the content if you were the user?
      • Does your content support your website’s primary purpose?

    Everything we’ve discussed today—and the purpose of Google’s SEO update—is about improving website searchability. Your goals and Google’s are completely aligned in every way that matters. Every effort that goes into improving your content will not only help you satisfy SEO best practices for 2024, but they will also improve your search engine performance and make your customers happier.

    Staying ahead of issues requires continuous evaluation of site performance. Here are a few SEO compliance tools that will help you do that:

    • Google Analytics is free and helps you monitor trends and user behavior. Consistent monitoring enables you to identify site traffic anomalies in real time and will help you assess the impact of the core update.
    • Use site rank tools like Moz, SemRush, or Ahrefs to analyze keyword performance over time. Fluctuations may indicate a need for strategic change.
    • Use HubSpot or the Behavior Flow report in Google Analytics to gain insight into how people interact with your content.

Google’s algorithmic updates often land seemingly without warning, leaving you scrambling to get back on page one.

    Big updates tend to happen every few months, so it’s always worthwhile to follow @searchliason on X, as this is where Google announces its larger initiatives.

    In the meantime, monitor your site performance, analyze your existing content for relevance, and focus strongly on quality content and technical SEO to improve user experience and answer search intent.

    Customer behaviors and preferences are ever-evolving, so it’s no surprise that marketing strategies should evolve to meet those needs. Businesses must stay relevant to their audience, which requires consistent effort to keep up with changing expectations or risk missed opportunities, lost market share, and dwindling customer engagement.

    Agility is the key, as is understanding your audience. This is where adaptive marketing comes into play. By leveraging technology, data, and real-time insights, businesses can stay agile and adapt in the face of constant change.

    Today, we’ll offer tailored, adaptive strategies to enable sustainable campaign success.

    All effective marketing strategies start with a game plan. These tips can be applied to your overall marketing strategy and individual campaigns. Ultimately, it’s about enhancing marketing strategies with a strong focus on understanding the audience more deeply so you can respond to their needs and challenges.

    1. Target Audience Identification

    [/fusion_title][fusion_text hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”font_17″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    Audience identification is crucial for any business. When you understand who you’re selling to, it’s easier to craft messaging that addresses their needs. When your marketing is targeted, you’ll spend less time, effort, and resources to convert—and those customers will be well-positioned to become long-term, loyal buyers.

    Here are a few tips to hone your target audience profile:

    • Analyze your current customer base to see who’s buying your products and services.
    • Conduct market research to identify gaps your product can fill.
    • Create buyer personas to humanize your ideal customers.
    • Understand and articulate who is not your ideal buyer.

    2. Addressing Customer Pain Points

    [/fusion_title][fusion_text hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”font_17″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    The most successful products are ones that solve the customer’s pain points. Understanding the problems they need to solve helps you develop messaging around products and services that address them. Sales calls are more meaningful when such points are understood. Your sales team will spend less time selling and close more deals as product, purpose, and end-user are aligned.

    Pain points can also refer to negative experiences in the sales process itself, customer service, onboarding, etc. Your marketing can show how your company solves these issues so they can maximize the value from your products; this can be especially helpful if you are in a competitive niche. Differentiation is the key. The more you know, the harder you can dig into those points.

    3. Deliver Effective Solutions

    [/fusion_title][fusion_text hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”font_17″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    Customers don’t want products—they want solutions. They want to get on with what they do and don’t want to have to look for a new supplier or solution because they’ve outgrown the one they’ve invested in.

    Emphasize sustainability, service, and partnership. Show how you fit into the bigger picture and become an authority in your niche. In doing so, you may need to provide documentation, content, and one-on-one support if required.

    Here are a few examples:

    • Ensure customer queries are answered immediately. Chatbots, automated ticketing, and live helpdesk are just a few ideas.
    • Establish a solutions-focused content library that customers can access 24/7. Include training videos, product demonstrations, and step-by-step guides to address all customer preferences.
    • Solicit customer feedback through surveys, polls, and reviews and respond to insights when needed.
    • Use an omnichannel/multichannel approach to ensure customer queries and conversations are consistent and have continuity.

    4. Craft Compelling Marketing Messages

    [/fusion_title][fusion_text hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”font_17″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    Once you have established your customer profiles and personas, you can craft clear, engaging, personalized, and persuasive messages that resonate with your audience.

    Here are a few tips to get you started:

    • Keep your messaging clear and concise, easy to understand and remember. Don’t use industry jargon, as it might confuse some customers. Not all personas will have the same expertise!
    • Use storytelling, real-life scenarios, and relatable examples to make an emotional connection. Sometimes, it’s less about what you (and your products) do; it’s about how they will make the customer feel. Life is better with your product/service: how do you demonstrate that?
    • Tailor your messages to each marketing channel. For example, LinkedIn users may respond to longer, more informative posts, while Instagram users prefer reels or visual messaging. A post on X must be short and snappy, while your landing pages can go into more exhaustive detail.
    • Maintain consistency across channels. Though your messaging and its presentation should reflect the channel audience, they still need to maintain a consistent tone and purpose.
    • Use strong calls-to-action (CTAs). All messaging must include a strong CTA to ensure the recipient understands what to do. Whatever the marketing goal is—activating a trial, requesting a call, sample, or downloading content—your CTA needs to guide the user to that goal.

    [/fusion_text][fusion_title title_type=”text” loop_animation=”once” marquee_direction=”left” marquee_speed=”15000″ rotation_effect=”bounceIn” display_time=”1200″ highlight_effect=”circle” highlight_width=”9″ highlight_top_margin=”0″ title_link=”off” link_target=”_self” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”podkova font_20″ content_align=”left” size=”3″ fusion_font_family_title_font=”Podkova” fusion_font_variant_title_font=”800″ font_size=”20px” line_height=”1.2″ text_color=”var(–awb-color4)” text_shadow=”no” text_shadow_blur=”0″ text_stroke=”no” text_stroke_size=”1″ text_overflow=”none” margin_top_medium=”2px” margin_bottom_medium=”2px” margin_top_small=”2px” margin_bottom_small=”2px” margin_top=”2px” margin_bottom=”2px” gradient_font=”no” gradient_start_position=”0″ gradient_end_position=”100″ gradient_type=”linear” radial_direction=”center center” linear_angle=”180″ style_type=”none” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    5. Measuring Marketing Success/Marketing Campaign Optimization

    [/fusion_title][fusion_text hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”font_17″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    Measuring key performance indicators (KPIs) helps you understand the value of your marketing investment and inform changes and adjustments for future campaigns.

    The KPIs you choose to focus on will depend on the goals of your campaign, but here are some of the most common:

    • Campaign ROI
    • Return on ad spend
    • Conversion rate
    • Bounce rate
    • Average session duration
    • Cost per lead
    • Cost per acquisition
    • Website traffic
    • Visits by traffic source
    • Cost per click
    • Impressions
    • Email opens
    • Click-throughs
    • Content downloads
    • Page views

    Analytics are vital to understanding what is and is not clicking with your customers, so to speak. It can also make sense of certain aspects of your marketing strategy so you can improve campaign results, sometimes on the fly. For example, if you notice specific channels underperforming, you can reduce spending on that channel or drop it altogether.

    Final Thoughts

    [/fusion_title][fusion_text hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”font_17″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″]

    There are few times in history when marketers have been so uniquely challenged to maintain audience attention. By adopting an adaptive marketing strategy, understanding your audience, developing detailed personas, tailoring your messaging to them, and solving their pain points, you’ll be better aligned to succeed, even when customer preferences shift.

    As always, measurement is key. Monitor analytics and continually seek direct feedback from customers so you can tweak your strategy and continue to improve.
