This week I reviewed an article on Forbes “7 SEO Trends That Will Dominate 2017“. I also received a question during the show.

What is the most important aspect of SEO currently?

I spent some time on the answer. Content is still the most important part of SEO but not quite the way it was even a few years ago. Keep the focus on developing content (of all types) for your audience. Make your content engaging and unique. Use all types of content in your plan (Video, Audio, Blog).

Here are the 7 SEO Trends the article talked about:

The Increased Importance of AMP
Creating Deeper Content
Artificial Intelligence/Rankbrain
Personal Branding
User Experience/UX
Mobile Apps
Personal Digital Assistants like Siri, Cortana and OK Google
