Episode 7 | The Future of SEO in 2017

2017 is rapidly approaching so it only seemed logical that it was time to discuss the near future of SEO and what business owners need to look out for. SEO evolves all the time. The days of keyword stuffing and adding your website URL to every website possible no matter the relevancy or quality are gone. Shockingly some website owners…and SEOs, are still using these methods.

Here are the 7 areas that we discussed during this episode of the SEO Tear Down:

The ImportanIce of Social Content (Sharing)
Videos Rule the Roost
Mobile Optimization Becomes Critical
Voice Search Functionality
Content Aggregation Becomes Bigger & Badder
Mobile Apps Continue to Grow
Local SEO Dominates Your World

I found this infographic to use as a discussion point. Thank You, Caliber Marketing
