Editor's Notes
- Rate of content creation today is greater than at any other time in human history.
- Let’s look at the value exchange. For a brand, content is the currency. For the audience, personal information is the currency. The value exchange happens when the content a brand continuously delivers establishes its worth to its audience and in turn the audience trusts the brand enough to identify themselves and provide permission to the brand to establish a relationship with them, to invite them to take an action.
- The fast paced growth of mobile devices in the country continue to change the way that we as Americans access content. Whether that content is going to be geared toward a specific type of consumer or the everyman, people now have access to more information and services than ever before in history. The ability to walk down the street and then walk into a store to look at a product, today we can check prices for that product from anywhere in the world and check to see what others think about that product. The same can be said for professional services, highly technical products, or any other facet of B2B commerce.
- Hummingbird incorporates those updates, but is being described as the biggest overhaul to the Google Search Algorithm since 2010. Panda and Penguin were about content relevance, authorship, and how links work together. Hummingbird is building upon those, but is now incorporating an importance on mobile search, voice search (which is often more complicated queries), location, and building upon speed of loading - especially for mobile pages. This means that responsive design elements are more important than ever.
- “What’s the closest place to buy the iPhone 5s to my home?” A traditional search engine might focus on finding matches for words — finding a page that says “buy” and “iPhone 5s,” for example.Hummingbird should better focus on the meaning behind the words. It may better understand the actual location of your home, if you’ve shared that with Google. It might understand that “place” means you want a brick-and-mortar store. It might get that “iPhone 5s” is a particular type of electronic device carried by certain stores. Knowing all these meanings may help Google go beyond just finding pages with matching words.In particular, Google said that Hummingbird is paying more attention to each word in a query, ensuring that the whole query — the whole sentence or conversation or meaning — is taken into account, rather than particular words. The goal is that pages matching the meaning do better, rather than pages matching just a few words.
- Visual elements are so important today both in online and mobile experiences. From great images and inforgraphics to using Slidesahrepresenations or today animated GIFs, there are tons of options. Videos can work too, but you need to make sure that you are using an HTML5 video player. Short videos, interviews, product demos and more – but remember for the mobile experience, short with a call to action. Most of all, create a visual element that helps to “stop the swipe”.
- Your content should not look like textbooks when opened. Be sure to focus on "scanability" and how it looks on mobile devices because many times they will only briefly scan through your content.
- Content must be mapped to business objectives – whether you are simply looking to position yourself as a thought leader or you are looking to drive more tangible results, your content strategy must support your business objectives so that you are driving results that will have an impact on your organization.
- Content must be appealing – If your content isn’t interesting, engaging, useful or appealing to your audience, they won’t care. They won’t read it; they won’t share it; they won’t act on it. It will just be more noise.
- Content should include specific ‘Calls to Action’ – Whether the “Calls to Action” are focused on sharing the content or asking the audience to provide you with information in exchange for the content or lead to an immediate sales opportunity, CTAs are critical to measuring the results of your content marketing efforts. If you have a benchmark like State Farm did, you can measure against that.
