AI SEO

What is AI SEO and how it will help you to increase your website traffic?

Artificial intelligence is the next step to automating a lot of things and it is being put into practice with each progressive step. There is much to be expected as it is still being developed. Even though in development, it still helps with a lot of things and has proved itself useful for a variety of things.

The digital world is ever expanding and AI has an important role in this world. AI also holds an important role in Digital Marketing. SEO has been mostly manual up until recently. What if SEO becomes guided by artificial intelligence?

Things are going to improve for digital marketing firms looking to stay at the top. Artificial intelligence is growing (literally). It grows like a biological being. You input data and it remembers the data, thus growing itself.

Content Writing

This is what you must be most familiar with. Certain typing softwares or web tools help you complete sentences. This has been around for a while. They are pretty simple and help a tiny bit in maybe sending e-mails.

They have been a long shot from doing any actual content writing. But, that is slowly changing. Artificial Intelligence can now learn your writing style and suggest completions for your sentence. Now, it can even auto-generate content if you command it to write about a specific thing provided you give keywords related to the same.

Now, that’s somewhat promising. Even though it cannot replace content writers, it can make the content more keyword-focused if that is your goal.

Keyword based titles and ranking

Keywords are the base of ranking in the SERP currently. This does not mean keyword spam every two sentences. Thing is, Artificial Intelligence can help you rank better by using keywords and titles. How?

There are a lot of keywords to reach a particular webpage. What I mean is you have a page about something and there is already intense competition to be at the top based on one keyword. All you have to do is change the keyword. A keyword that means the exact same and one that is likely to be searched by people.

And, boom, you’re now facing comparatively less competition without compromising traffic to your page. AI suggestions can be great. They can even make a title for content that helps boost your ranking in SERP (Search Engine Results Page).

Gets you featured

Artificial intelligence is simple and concise. So, it can make simple and concise things that have a good chance to make into the featured snippets section or the related questions section of the Results page. That is a huge flex: making it into the snippets.

AI gets work off your hands and gets things done. It just needs some monitoring so that the language and presentation is filled with energy, zest and emotion. AI is the way if you want to stay on top of the game.

What to write?

With Artificial Intelligence on your side, you won’t be asking this question anymore. It will give you suggestion on what to write. Imagine that. It will keep track of your area of business and suggest trending topics that you might want to cover. And, not just trending things, it will suggest anything that it thinks will be useful in growing your firm.

You can, thus, have all the important topics covered without wondering what to cover on your website. Artificial Intelligence has got you covered.

If it thinks you’ve missed something important, it will let you know so that you can do something about it as soon as you can. You should have answers to any question that a client could possibly have. And, AI makes sure that you have all the answers in your pocket.

Record Keeper

It keeps track of all your pages and gives you a summary of which has performed better and it may provide suggestions and insights as to why it performed better and what to do to maintain a good traffic.

This will help you in the long run. You will be able to know what to market and how to market and this surely is something that you will want if there is tight competition for your business. Even a slight advantage will give you an edge over the others.

SEO must be more focused on analysis in the future as this will help understand what is more marketable and what to and what not to market. AI will keep records for you and you just have to improve upon its suggestions and voila, you’ll have a booming business.

AI against AI

When the search engine results and optimization for customers is being increasingly taken over by artificial intelligence, it is only fitting that we use the same technology to drive us forward.

The opportunities to fill in voids of information is something worth exploiting. This can give a new perspective to the optimization and marketing teams. While AI makes the market increasingly competitive, it also provides an opportunity to leave the competition behind with its suggestions.

AI in search optimization

People are getting more hands free with the digital world. They can use voice commands and such to get things done. This is something that you must consider on your end. What can you do?

As AI is trying to improve, you must too. Optimize your answers to questions a voice search user is likely to ask. Things like this can give you a considerable boost in rankings. Don’t get left behind as the digital world progresses at such a rapid pace.

Metaverse

What is Facebook Metaverse and How does it work?

Facebook Recently Rebranded itself to Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced their new futuristic venture of ‘Metaverse’. Ever since that day, The Tech world is engaged on the hot discussions and debates of what this Metaverse is and how it is going to change the Internet forever.

When you hear the word metaverse, what pops into your mind? I immediately think of multiverse because they sound almost similar. And, they are somewhat similar. Metaverse is a universe where you can live as a part of your life. The concept of metaverse has existed for a long time. And, now, with Facebook (or rather Meta) taking initiative, we may see results quite soon.

We are not expecting perfect results. But, every step leads us closer to the vision of Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. How do we open a portal to another universe — the metaverse? We don’t. We create it. The metaverse as such does not exist. Not in it’s complete form. Therefore, it is not fully accessed by people for what we may in the future.

meta

The things we already know

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are nothing new. They have existed for some time now. And, we may have used it at some point. It might not have seemed as much. But, they will help in building the metaverse.

The vision

The vision of meta for the metaverse is to erase the alienation you feel when looking at a screen and experiencing things. When someone sends you a video, you watch it indifferently. You do not experience the joy shared by the people in the video. Meta aims to bring their joy to you.

Meta will make you a part of what you see rather than be a third person viewer. How cool is that? You get to share moments with your loved ones digitally. It opens a whole new universe. Without a physical presence, you can still be there where you want to be digitally. Time and space will no longer be a problem when the metaverse is fully developed.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is something we might be more familiar with. The best and most relatable experience you might have had is with Pokemon Go. It is a form of Augmented reality where your surroundings play an important role. This particular example might not be the most pleasant.

Imagine holding your phone against something like a café. And, there you can see more details about the place, like maybe reviews, ratings. It can help your decision making considerably. This is a feasible example and something we can all imagine. Nothing too complicated. The metaverse promises something better than this.

All we can do is wait and see the future of the internet unfold before our eyes.

here is a video shared by mark Zuckerberg on his Instagram page about Metaverse Augmented reality.

Virtual Reality

There are two things that come up when you think of virtual reality today. One is “Cool!”. The other is “Expensive!”. Both are true. You get to experience a world (which is really amazing) at a price which can be hefty for the majority (which is disappointing).

Our experience of virtual reality is mostly limited to VR videos. If you have ever watched one with the proper equipment, you will know just how awesome it is to experience virtual reality. Once you put on the VR headset, you are transported to another world. You can do whatever you want. You can look around and see the world around you.

You’ll be at a loss for words the first time you experience VR. But, unfortunately, VR headsets are not cheap (not the good ones anyway). Meta introduced an affordable VR headset. It intends to make the multiverse available to everyone since it is claimed to be the future of the internet.

Virtual reality

When can we expect to see the metaverse in all its glory?

Work on the metaverse has just started. It will take a lot of years. It might even take a few decades. As cool as the idea of the metaverse is, to pull off something like that takes time and effort. Change doesn’t happen overnight (not with the metaverse).

If you have played VR games, you will know just how clunky they are. The concept of the game will be amazing, but the technology of the times limits the execution.

Games like Beat Saber might have it nailed in the VR. But, VR chat, which is closer to the metaverse in what it aims to be, is really cartoonish with ‘not so great’ graphics. You’ll understand once you watch a gameplay of any VR game.

Once implemented, the metaverse will become a crucial part of our lives, and along with it, Meta too. This has some people worried. Meta as Facebook didn’t have a reputation for being the best company which puts customer interests first. It’s a worrying thought.

Is Meta meta?

Is Meta playing the meta (most effective tactics available)? Is Meta directing attention away from the problems the company is currently facing and turning heads with a new innovation — the metaverse? Some people believe this is the case. It might also be to gain an upper hand as Apple and Google hold Meta on a leash right now.

With the introduction of the metaverse, Meta will no longer have to be controlled by either of the companies mentioned above. No operating system restrictions, because they could make one of their own and as such, being the pioneering founder of the metaverse, Meta will have an unspoken authority over the others.

Meta will effectively control the digital world if this is the case. It’ll be what one could call a monopoly. But, it has been promised that the metaverse is not the construct of one company alone. It will be built by anyone who wants to. Any and all contributions are welcome.

Even though it is an open project, there is still a certain level of uncertainty as to what might happen after the metaverse is functional.

Is the metaverse good?

We will be in a virtual world with virtual avatars designed by people and we will interact with them. Some people might see it as a way out of their boring everyday lives. Digital health might be at a risk. People have expressed their concerns about the same. Will it, by bringing people closer together digitally, rob them of their real life.

People will prefer their digital world which they have constructed over the gloomy real world in which they have been put by fate.

All we can do is wait and see what the future has in store for us as nothing conclusive can be stated so early in the development of the metaverse.

Google MUM

Google MUM : Multitask Unified Model

What does the digital future look like? Yup, you talk to some machine and it responds like a human. That’s what sci-fi movies, at least, have planted in our brains. And, things have been turning that way recently. Machines are made to adopt a conversational tone for that one-on-one conversational vibe.

Big players in the digital field like Microsoft, with its new Windows 11, and others have already started this transition process. The Multitask unified Model (MUM) aims to do this with other major improvements.

The Base

It is a refined version of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). It is more receptive and adaptive to the human way of speech and communication. MUM aims to go further than BERT.

Ease and integration

Finding something on Google is not extremely simple. Some searches take more than a single try to get you what you really need. The average number of searches is estimated to be eight for complex queries. MUM aims to bring down this number. Through various new features, MUM is targeted at the ease of use of the consumer.

We can expect different aspects of MUM to be integrated into the Google browser in future updates.

Recommendation

E-commerce is nothing new. MUM makes a buyer’s journey as smooth as possible through improved recommendations. It lifts much of the tedious work required on the part of the customer to find the right product.

Google Lens

This addition is amazing and is quite a welcome surprise. MUM gives more importance to Google Lens. How exactly does it do that? Well, you could be looking for something with a certain pattern. Click a pic and ask what you want with a similar design. This short clip should help you understand better.

It also helps you find stuff. You could click a pic of something and ask where to buy that or how to fix a broken one or get a replacement. A pretty handy feature, right?Google LENS MUM update

 

Image Priority

Text content and videos have stayed at the top of the SERP for a while now. Now, images will share the place. Images used to be there. But, they will now be more prominent. If a query requires an image result, the images will be more pronounced. Images will be larger and the SERP will be sort of covered in images.

This might be a good time to work on relevant images for your webpage to stay on top. Speaking of staying on top…Well, there’s a bit of an issue which we will come to later.

Relevance

Things pop up based on relevance and how do you know what is relevant? Google was not the best picker. It is trying to improve with MUM. It goes deeper into content, especially videos. The closed captions help on determining the relevance of a video for a particular query.

Now, video recommendations will be better than ever with videos being analyzed more deeply.

Also, there is a hierarchy order when it comes to queries. Content, video or image? Well, depends on each query. A query that goes: “How to…” might give you more video results while something that has ‘inspiration’ or ‘reference’ in it might bring up more image oriented results.

Updated features with new names

We’re all familiar with people also ask section in the Google SERP. With the complete implementation of MUM, this section will become ‘Things to know’. From the name itself, we can see that it goes beyond a few inquiries. It gives you an opportunity to know all that is essential about a subject.

Similarly, the ‘Related Searches’ will become ‘Broaden This Search’ and ‘Refine This search’. Well, there isn’t much of a difference in this section except that the options from where to go after your initial query will be more refined. It won’t stick to a particular thing and limit you but, broaden horizons for searching.

Google MUMThe suggestions are confident which is great. If it’s something that seems worthwhile, you can know more about it. If not, you can carry on regularly browsing.

The good old links

Well, links have always been the core of the browsing experience. This changed with the introduction of featured snippets. And, with progress (MUM), the links have been pushed farther down the page. With the featured snippets, Google cut down on the initial ten links and with MUM, the links will be sidelined.

This takes us back to the staying at the top thing. Well, with the links being pushed down by information filled snippets, links will attract lesser people. People browse for information and when they get precisely and concisely the information they seek, they will no longer need the links.

Versatility

With MUM Google will be more versatile than ever. The context of a query will play a huge part in MUM. Two people looking up the exact same thing in different contexts will be presented with entirely different Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).

What makes this ‘context’? Your search history, location history, preferences, etc. Which Google can collect makes up this context.

To be or not to be featured

With Google becoming more Wiki-oriented, i.e., focused on information, rankings wouldn’t matter. You will either be featured or not. It is the content that matters. Earlier, the SERP was based on keywords and the frequency of keywords determined the position of a link on the SERP.

Things have evolved and clear, concise content takes priority over content filled with keywords. This is because of the conversational tone of questions and Google becoming more information based. Sometimes, Google may analyze and extract only the necessary parts from a link. The thing is to be featured. That is what is important now.

Is SEO a thing of the past?

No. Most definitely not. The core remains the same. Google is not undergoing a drastic change. The base algorithm of analyzing and picking data is the same. It’s just been refined. Newer elements of SEO become more prominent with such a change. SEO, like always, is still a major part of being where you want to be in the SERP.

Appeal

The thing to do now is appeal to the customer. Your website should be more customer oriented. It should have all the answers to any question that the customer may have. Think as a customer. And answer any question that a customer is most likely to ask. Keep things conversational.

Google Merchant Centre

You should be registered on the Google Merchant Centre if you are running a business. When a customer is searching for products, Google pulls up a handful of products that are verified through the Google Merchant Centre. This is why being registered on the Google Merchant Centre is important.

 

Things have changed a bit. Things always change. We must embrace change and move forward. If you are worried about all these new changes, fret not. We at TGI Technologies, one of the best Digital Marketing companies in Kerala will help you with any digital hiccup that you might come across. We take pride in being one of the best SEO companies in Kerala. So, if you need a helping hand with the new improvements that come with MUM, don’t forget to give us a call.

How to use Instagram Link Stickers?

How to use Instagram Link Stickers ?

Would you like to include a link in your Instagram Story? According to a business announcement, Instagram’s Link Stickers will now be available to all users on the social media network. Previously, the function, which allows users to embed hyperlinks in the form of stickers in their Instagram Stories, was only available to verified accounts and handles with a large number of followers.

In June of this year, the social networking platform began testing its Link Stickers function. After multiple users requested access to the feature, Instagram said that the sticker will now be available to everyone, regardless of their number of followers.

Link Stickers, according to the company, are highly valuable for creators, businesses, and other members of the community who may use them to distribute information and resources. Instagram, on the other hand, stated that accounts that consistently breach community norms and disseminate disinformation and hate speech will be denied access to the function.

In June, Instagram stated that the Link Stickers feature would not be added to the main Instagram feed or other portions of the program. According to The Verge, the company’s stance has not changed.

The sticker has taken the position of Instagram’s ‘swipe up’ feature, which was formerly used to direct followers to other websites from the platform. However, in August of this year, the firm removed the feature, which was only available to accounts with over 10,000 followers.

What does an Instagram link sticker entail?

The Instagram link sticker, which takes the place of the swipe up feature, allows users to add an external link to their Instagram Story. Story link stickers are the simplest method to promote various pieces of content and items on Instagram, while also allowing you to use analytics to improve your Stories strategy. When it comes to links, Instagram claims that the sticker has three significant advantages over the swipe-up feature:

  • Stickers are well-known and popular among users, who utilize them to express themselves through music, questions, locations, and polls.
  • Stickers provide you more creative control over the aesthetic of your Story than swipe up links did previously.
  • Furthermore, stickers allow viewers to interact with a Story, whereas the swipe-up feature did not allow for replies or reactions.

Simply said, Instagram link stickers, like swipe-up before them, are a crucial component for any Instagram business strategy.

What is the best way to use the Instagram link sticker?

Although Instagram Stories only last 24 hours, including a link in your story can help you drive conversions, increase organic engagement, and make it easier for your followers to share the material you want to.

  • Press the + sign in the bottom centre of the Instagram app.
  • Select Story by scrolling down (rather than Post or Live).
  • Use all of the beautiful media you have at your disposal to create your story.
  • In the top row, tap the Sticker symbol.
  • Put your link here.
  • After that, just submit it to your Story and you’re done!
  • Don’t forget to track your analytics once you’ve put your first link sticker so you can improve your click-through rate.

Instagram is also working on customizing the stickers so that when users hit on the link, “it’s clear what they’ll see.”

Google's new feature - 'About this result'

Google’s new feature – ‘About This Result’

Now, Internet is a part of our daily life . Though deserving of trust, one must be careful treading the wonderful place that the internet is. We all use browsers to get to the places we want on the internet. And, Google is undoubtedly the most used of the browsers. They do have the interests of users and their well being in mind.

In this regard, they have introduced an ‘About This Result’ feature that would allow users to get more information about the search result that popped up with regard to their query. This has made Google more transparent, in a way, allowing users to trace the source of something without any hassle.

What does this feature contain and what to expect?

This feature contains a few details that you might find interesting and what to expect? We are not quite sure as the feature is still in it’s BETA phase and it’s too early to say anything.

Is this available here in India?

This feature has been available in the U.S. for quite some time and it is finally available here in India. It is not a finished, polished feature. It is still in early BETA, so, you must know there might be a few bumps here and there.

Where is this feature?

Search for anything and you’ll see 3 dots to the right of each result. Pressing that will bring up the “About” for that result.

What does it contain?

  • Website information

It contains general information about the website whose result you are checking up. This information is usually taken from Wikipedia and is cited so.

  • Why it showed up

There must be a reason as to why the result is relevant to your query. In this About, these are listed out. As of now, it is usually the keywords you used or something related to the keyword. It also states if other websites using the keywords have linked to this particular result (which makes it more relevant).

It will also let you know if an image related to your keyword is the reason you’re seeing a particular website.

  • Connection

It also states whether connection to the site is secure or not. Most of the times it is. This is a handy feature to avoid scams and clickbaits and non-secure sites in general.

  • Language

This also states which language the content of the particular webpage is written in.

  • Location relevance

The feature also allows us to know how a particular location is relevant to the query.  It simply states “Relevant for searches near ______”

Advertisements

This new feature clearly states whether it is an advertisement or not and also tells how one can distinguish between an advertisement and an organic Search Engine Result.

Why the ad?

This feature states why you got a particular advertisement. It might be either due to Google’s estimation of your location or things that may interest you according to your past activity on the browser.

Who put up the ad?

It also gives the advertiser’s name (who put up the particular advertisement) and their location (the country).

What about images and videos?

This feature does not support Images and videos as of now.

If by some chance, a video comes up as the most relevant, i.e., at the top of the results, the ‘About’ will show up and will say that it’s source us simply “from across the web”. This is the same for images. These videos and images are groused together and are only available on the ‘All’ tab.

If a video does pop up in the ‘all’ tab during a search, the about will contain information about the site on which the video is hosted (source). The other things listed are the same as what has been previously mentioned.

In case of results that pop up as a single word or sentence that Google sources from different places, the ‘About This Result’ feature says the information comes from Google’s Knowledge Graph.

Learn more search tips

This sub-feature is currently unavailable. We can expect  it in the future.

Feedback

Google also provides an option to send feedback on the given piece of information corresponding to a search result.

Google Ads vs Facebook Ads: Which is good for your business growth?

Google Ads vs Facebook Ads: Which is good for your business growth?

Google and Facebook, both, are big players in the advertisement industry. They are true giants that put everything else of the same kind in their shadows. So, when you want to choose one, which do you choose? Both, of course. Who’s stopping you? But, let’s suppose you really need to pick one and need to know the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Which one is better then? Well, depends. Depends on a few things, in fact. What is your objective? Is it getting customers and conversion? Or is it just brand awareness? There are a lot of questions to answer. But, let’s get a general idea of the whole thing.

How it works

Google advertisements or AdWords depend on keywords. They use textual data to attract people using these keywords in their search queries. These keywords are the core of what you need to promote and are usually no more than a couple of words and corresponding to search queries, your ad pops up.

Facebook ads depend on your company’s reach on social media and your social media presence to attract customers. Ads can be tailored to a certain kind of audience unlike Google ads which just puts it out there for anyone using the keywords you paid for.

Which one has a wider reach?

Undoubtedly, Google has a wider reach. A wider reach doesn’t not mean more conversion rates. It just means wider reach. Google has a wide variety of suites to offer and a wide variety of environments when it comes to advertisement. Like, YouTube ads or through Gmail. Facebook on the other hand is limited to Facebook, Instagram and such media platforms.

Google has a wider reach but, the conversion rates could not be as high. Facebook, on the other hand, has a smaller reach but better conversion.

Budget

Budget is a very important part of the advertising process. Which is more budget friendly? Depends on your objective, length of the campaign and which business you are in.

For Google, the business you are in is really important due to their Cost per Click (CPC) or Price per Click (CPC) thing. When someone clicks your ad that takes them to an external site or an ad in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) when clicked will cost you. And, this price depends on the kind of business you’re doing.

If your business doesn’t have a lot of competition, the price you’re looking at is really low. But, if your business has really tough competition, the prices you’re looking at will be high.

Facebook has a more stable rate for advertisements when compared to Google. But, to see results, you will have to invest long term. Because to see which kind of ads work best and getting things set up specifically for something is going to take time. We’re talking months here.

The Model/Structure

Google has a funnel model – a top, a middle, and bottom. The top is people who are in no way interested in your business or any other business of your kind. They are hard to convert into clients as Google has a wide reach and not everyone is looking for your products. The conversion rate is extremely low at the top of the funnel.

Then, there is the middle, where people are mildly interested in your products and people who come down from the top of the funnel. Here conversion rates are a bit higher, but not a considerable increase. Then, there is the bottom, where people are really looking unto your products. Here the conversion rates are high.

Facebook uses an entirely different approach. They use advertisements that look just like normal posts in the form of a picture or video, so people won’t just scroll past it. They will take the time to understand your products and what you offer. Is this why the conversion rate is high? Makes no sense. Of course not. There are things in play behind the scene.

Facebook is somewhere people’s personal lives, interests, and a lot of stuff come to be public. They do it themselves. This makes it easier to sort people with similar behaviors with regard to purchasing products or things they like. This is called “lookalike” something. So, when you have lookalikes and target them, the conversion rate is incredibly high.

Ease of use

Which one is more user-friendly from a beginner perspective? With a lot of similarities between the two platforms, such a question is to be expected. Which indeed is more user friendly? Both have their pros and cons in this…field. Google has a simple UI in the basic section. But, the basic section is very limited and if you need more control and be able to do more, you will have to switch to advanced, which can be quite daunting.

Facebook has a very simple UI where you know what everything is. It is very beginner friendly. Too friendly to the point where you can make mistakes because of it. For instance, you could just delete an entire campaign when all you wanted to do was delete a post that wasn’t attracting customers.

It all comes down to the user.

Local services

Which of the two help get a boost for local businesses? Here, Google takes the lead. Because of apps like Google Maps, Google can know where a person is. When they are within proximity of your business, Google will automatically suggest your business if they are searching for something related to it.

Facebook, unfortunately, has no such service to offer. So, if you’re a local business trying to make a name for yourself, Google is the way to go.

When can you start?

For Google ads, you can start whenever. You can think of it today and get the campaign underway today itself. With Facebook, there is ad preparation. Then, there’s a lot of trial and error to find the best thing that works for you. This could be weeks or months of preparation. And, more waiting to get results that you might like.

 

If you are looking to get ads made for Google or Facebook, we at TGI Technologies, one of the best digital marketing companies in Kerala can help your business. We have been helping people like you and will continue to do so. It’s for a reason why we are the best digital marketing company in Kochi. Our team can get you running in the span of a few days.
