Since its inception, AI has grown by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/explodingtopics.com\/blog\/ai-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each year. Moreover, experts suggest that its influence will only grow, expecting the industry to reach <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/ai-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15.7 trillion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dollars by the end of the decade. Also, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/connect.comptia.org\/blog\/artificial-intelligence-statistics-facts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">97%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of smart device users interacting with AI on a daily basis, it&#8217;s no wonder that AI will take the spotlight in almost every aspect of online communication.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google itself is increasingly relying on AI to understand and utilize users&#8217; intent and create an algorithm that will sort the results based on genuine first-hand data.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bard and Gemini are the first steps toward building an AI empire and tapping into that market as well, showing their dedication to this industry.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to stay ahead of the competition, you might want to enhance your website UX by implementing AI tools. You can also help yourself by utilizing AI SEO tools such as keyword research tools and link-building assistants.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to content, AI can be of great help. Still, despite the significant advancement in all AI generators, one thing they can&#8217;t fake is personal experience. For Google, personal experience has always been a cornerstone of high-quality content, as it gives value to the user.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, next year, AI will be a hot topic. Thus, getting some AI tools ASAP would be wise and help you stay ahead of the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sge-will-be-the-new-standard\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sge_Will_Be_the_New_Standard\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sge Will Be the New Standard<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE.png\" alt=\"Google SGE logo\" class=\"wp-image-3914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-1110x555.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-635x318.png 635w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-36x18.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SGE-48x24.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of AI, ChatGPT and Gemini are not even the best AI products. OpenAI and Google&#8217;s Search Generative Experience is, without a doubt, the revolution in search engines we&#8217;ve been looking for. This cutting-edge technology uses AI to provide more natural, conversational, and personalized search results. So, instead of listing links, SGE will try to understand the user&#8217;s query and provide a more comprehensive, interactive response. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, not everyone had access to the beta version, so we can&#8217;t talk from first-hand experience here. Still, if SGE is half of what it&#8217;s advertised as, this will be an entirely new chapter in Search engines and SEO as a whole.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, this means new SEO guidelines for all website owners and SEO experts. First and foremost, we might be looking at the twilight of keywords. Website owners must shift to understanding the intent behind users&#8217; queries<\/span>. For example, if someone asks how much baking soda they need for a loaf of bread, advertising bakeries is pointless, as the user will obviously make their own bread. On the other hand, retailers selling various cutlery<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, utensils, and electric appliances needed to bake the perfect bread can easily target them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, SGE will focus on informational searches rather than transactional ones. This means Google will push back landing pages that aim for direct sales in favor of informative blog posts and other useful content that answers queries, rather than offering a product or service. True, this will make the sales department&#8217;s work much harder, but it will underline the need for high-quality infotainment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, SGE will prioritize user experience, so websites will need to be easily navigable, mobile-friendly, voice- and image-search optimized (more on that later), and, of course, have high-quality content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-quality-is-now-a-must\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_Quality_Is_Now_a_Must\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High Quality Is Now a Must<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, quality content will remain king. In February of 2023, Google made it clear that they <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-ai-content-in-search-results\/478889\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">won&#8217;t care <\/span><\/a><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-ai-content-in-search-results\/478889\/\" target=\"_blank\">whether the content is AI-generated<\/a>\u00a0as long as it meets<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their quality standards. Unfortunately, AI isn&#8217;t quite able to cover those entirely, as they include personal experiences and added value that ChatGPT and other AI generators can&#8217;t produce. So, content writers can sleep soundly for now. AI is not taking your job anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while an AI generator can create mediocre content by the ton, it can&#8217;t compete with genuine human-written texts, at least for now. However, AI drove<\/span> quality standards higher than ever. Only ten years ago, keywords were enough to skyrocket you to the top of the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SERP. Today, you need to add high-quality images and videos, have perfect readability, and, of course, understand the material you are introducing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you make sure you will retain your rankings in Google? Well, all you need to do is produce some genuinely high-quality content. To do that, you will have to either spend at least half a day writing your own blog or hire an SEO content writer to do it for you. Either way, you will have to make some new investments if you haven&#8217;t already. You will either spend money or time. The choice is yours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expertise-trust-and-authority-are-no-longer-enough\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expertise_Trust_and_Authority_Are_No_Longer_Enough\"><\/span>Expertise, Trust, and Authority Are No Longer Enough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of high-quality content, Google is no longer satisfied with showing your experience, trust, and authority on the topic at hand. The search engine is now fixated on experience as well. This means you need to showcase your personal expertise in solving users&#8217; issues and queries. In other words, the authority factor has transferred from industry to a specific topic. This push will become even more noticeable in 2024 as the focus shifts towards personalization. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, to remain relevant, you need to follow the hub-and-spoke<\/span> strategy. This strategy calls for creating dozens, if not hundreds, of smaller blog posts that explain specific aspects of a broader topic. Then, write a general topic and link all these smaller pieces together<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to create a circle of knowledge. For example, writing on &#8220;Creating a digital marketing strategy&#8221; can be considered the hub. In this case, the spokes will be &#8220;how to build a winning landing page,&#8221; &#8220;how to create a compelling CTA,&#8221; and others.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating such cluster topics will be extremely time-consuming, but it will build an internal content ecosystem to keep users on your website longer, resulting in better ranking scores.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, learn how to write authoritatively, use reliable data, and avoid misleading<\/span> your audience. For example, citing nonexistent<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> research or quoting out of context to serve your own needs will be punished harshly by Google.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, take your time to create your author&#8217;s bios. This will automatically give you some extra points and enhance your credibility in the community.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-voice-and-image-searches-will-be-the-focus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Voice_and_Image_Searches_Will_Be_the_Focus\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voice and Image Searches Will Be the Focus<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve already mentioned it several times, but when it comes to SEO, it bears repeating. Voice and image searches are on the rise and soon will become the norm.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2024, voice searches are expected to reach <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.demandsage.com\/google-search-statistics\/#:~:text=It%20is%20estimated%20that%20by%202024%2C%20the%20global%20voice%20recognition%20market%20will%20reach%20%2426.8%20billion%2C%20and%20the%20number%20of%20voice%2Denabled%20digital%20assistants%20will%20reach%208%20billion.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 billion monthly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Another <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/inside-google\/company-announcements\/google-fun-facts-25th-birthday\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 billion will<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> utilize Google Lens and image search as well. This trend is even more <\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">pronounced in the US, with about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insiderintelligence.com\/insights\/voice-assistants\/\" target=\"_blank\">85.4 million<\/a>\u00a0users using<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> voice search on Google Assistant. 81.1 billion use Siri, and about 73.7 billion use Alexa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, you must tweak your metadata to facilitate these changes in user behavior. People often speak differently than they type, so you need to account for that during SEO optimization and keyword research.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, users most often use voice-activated search to quickly find a product or service.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for image searches. Google Lens is most often used to recognize a brand or an item and find out where the user can buy it. Naturally, high-quality pictures with properly optimized file names, tags, and alt tags are no longer recommended. It&#8217;s a must if you want to keep your top spot on Google and ensure image searches land precisely on your page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, when it comes to voice searches, people will use them to find a local solution to their problem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-seo-will-become-even-more-important\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Local_SEO_Will_Become_Even_More_Important\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local SEO Will Become Even More Important<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps.jpg\" alt=\"Searching on a map\" class=\"wp-image-3913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps-1110x740.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Maps-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local SEO efforts have been on such lists ever since 2018. Still, after the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive restrictions on traveling and moving freely, people finally realized how important it is to know your local market. So, today, around <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seroundtable.com\/google-46-of-searches-have-local-intent-26529.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">46% <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of all Google searches have local intent. This means that half of all your organic traffic comes from people looking for a local solution to their problem. Furthermore, as already explained, most voice searches also seek a local solution. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, in 2024, it&#8217;s a good idea to improve your local SEO to attract<\/span> an influx of new customers. This includes optimizing your Google My Business profile. If you haven&#8217;t already, give as much information about your business as possible. Add an<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> FAQ section and list your biggest benefits. In 2026, Google My Business should be in focus, and you must post regularly to remain relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-zero-click-searches-should-be-in-the-mix\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zero-Click_Searches_Should_Be_in_the_Mix\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zero-Click Searches Should Be in the Mix<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1899\" height=\"927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Google's Zero Click postition\" class=\"wp-image-3917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search.png 1899w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-1110x542.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-1536x750.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-36x18.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Zero-click-search-48x23.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1899px) 100vw, 1899px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2026 will be the year when zero-click searches will finally reach their potential. The zero-click search is practically a straight answer to a query that doesn&#8217;t require the user to click to receive it. This information is, above all, the result and is often the only thing users will ever see. Unfortunately, zero-click searches, as the name suggests, won&#8217;t lead to traffic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it will do wonders for your branding. Users will see your brand as an authoritative website, which will boost<\/span> credibility. Naturally, this will lead to increased sales in the long run, which is far more effective than simply &#8220;cheating&#8221; the user into visiting<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, you need to answer Google&#8217;s call and ensure you can accommodate the user&#8217;s interests<\/span>. As yourself, what&#8217;s the first question anyone would ask about your product? Give a straight answer within a blog post, preferably in the intro, and go for the lengthy explanations afterward. Naturally, some topics can&#8217;t be explained in 2-3 sentences. Still, if the question is which is the best hosting company, the answer, HostArmada, should be front and center, while the explanation of why can come later.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And if the user is interested in your reasoning, they can go in and check it out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, to qualify, you need nothing short of exceptional content. Research, quotes, and references are a must. But there&#8217;s more. You will need to make your content entertaining and easy to scan<\/span>. This way, Google will be able to take snippets much more easily, giving your website a better chance to be featured at the zeroth position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-being-fast-will-be-more-important-than-ever\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Being_Fast_Will_Be_More_Important_Than_Ever\"><\/span>Being Fast Will Be More Important Than Ever<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we have website speed. Now, website speed has always been an integral part of your SEO. Still, today users are far more impatient, and even a one-second delay can significantly tarnish your results. It has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.dev\/case-studies\/vodafone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">well-documented<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that site speed has a direct correlation with conversion rates, so naturally, the faster your website, the better your results will be.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The core web vitals you should always be on top of are Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). LCP is the time it takes for the main content to appear on the screen. This can be an image, a text, or a video. FID refers to the time it takes for your website to respond to a user&#8217;s first Interaction. Finally, CLS are the unexpected movements on your page that often leave users frustrated and unable to complete an action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2026, the FID will be replaced by Interaction to Next Paint (INP). It measures the speed with which your website reacts to users&#8217; actions. The faster your website responds, the better your ranking will be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, you need to analyze these core vitals and tweak your website to meet and exceed the current standards.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if nothing works, the problem might be in your hosting. In this case, all you can do is switch to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hostarmada.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HostArmada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
