About our agency

In 2008, Google Suggest was launched to improve usability and offer users more relevant content by displaying suggested search options based on historical data. This shift, paired with new user insights from keyword research tools, Google Trends, and Google Analytics, made optimization much more focused and targeted.

Major updates from Google enforced stricter regulations on keywords, content quality, and over-optimization. This significantly impacted how results were indexed. Brands who did not comply with new regulations, like J.C. Penney and Overstock, had their names dragged through the streets to set an example.

Improved localized SEO results were listed directly in SERPs to organize all local information and offer new advertising opportunities. Google Instant expanded on Google Suggest to provide faster results and improve user experience by displaying results as a query is being typed.

• As major search and social powerhouses construct a digital environment optimized around user intent, we hear users cry for security and less invasive marketing tactics.
• This era of SEO brought on another shift towards relevant content and accessibility with mobile and local search. Today, websites lacking mobile optimization or responsive design have lost search visibility in Google.

The Internet is transforming to offer more personalized, instant gratification. Users want search results to offer an immediate contextual understanding with minimal effort. Smart tech and wearable gadgets show a trend in being constantly connected and predictive content solutions.

the best way to plan for the evolution of SEO is to not cut corners. Trends over the last 25 years show the importance of demonstrating ethical optimization techniques and building relationships with users and content creators. As SEO develops, we can expect to see more regulations and penalties for any questionable practices.
