1
00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:04,004
- [Instructor] The search engine results pages, or SERPS,
2
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:08,002
are the proving ground for a successful keyword strategy.
3
00:00:08,002 --> 00:00:10,009
This also shows you important areas to consider
4
00:00:10,009 --> 00:00:14,004
in your optimization and content tactics.
5
00:00:14,004 --> 00:00:16,006
Many times it's not just a webpage
6
00:00:16,006 --> 00:00:18,009
that you are competing with for rankings.
7
00:00:18,009 --> 00:00:22,002
It can be a product listing, video, Wikipedia entry,
8
00:00:22,002 --> 00:00:24,005
or a local business listing.
9
00:00:24,005 --> 00:00:26,007
Most times, you may be up against
10
00:00:26,007 --> 00:00:29,006
local results or ads or both,
11
00:00:29,006 --> 00:00:32,009
which take up a lot of real estate on the page.
12
00:00:32,009 --> 00:00:37,000
Other times, your competition may be Google itself.
13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
In attempting to provide an answer,
14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,002
Google uses information from other websites, Wikipedia,
15
00:00:43,002 --> 00:00:47,001
or also provides other questions to refine your search.
16
00:00:47,001 --> 00:00:49,008
In this search for hiking tours in Iceland,
17
00:00:49,008 --> 00:00:51,007
here are the results.
18
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:54,003
Ads take up the top of the page,
19
00:00:54,003 --> 00:00:57,000
information about Iceland is on the right side
20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,003
which shows on the desktop, but not in mobile results.
21
00:01:00,003 --> 00:01:03,000
This comes from the knowledge graph.
22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,002
Next are common destinations and tours.
23
00:01:06,002 --> 00:01:07,006
This section will also provide
24
00:01:07,006 --> 00:01:11,001
products for e-commerce and reviews.
25
00:01:11,001 --> 00:01:15,005
Finally, you see the organic search results.
26
00:01:15,005 --> 00:01:18,008
And then the people also ask section,
27
00:01:18,008 --> 00:01:21,001
which provides additional information
28
00:01:21,001 --> 00:01:22,006
in the form of questions
29
00:01:22,006 --> 00:01:24,006
that may help you refine your search.
30
00:01:24,006 --> 00:01:26,007
The format of the results will change
31
00:01:26,007 --> 00:01:29,002
based on the keywords and phrases,
32
00:01:29,002 --> 00:01:31,006
or types of phrases that you use.
33
00:01:31,006 --> 00:01:33,006
Now there are two sides to this.
34
00:01:33,006 --> 00:01:36,000
For the search engine, it presents content
35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
to answer the searcher's query fast.
36
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,005
Without clicking the result,
37
00:01:40,005 --> 00:01:43,001
the searcher sees the information they need.
38
00:01:43,001 --> 00:01:46,007
Steadily, Google has been making the SERP page
39
00:01:46,007 --> 00:01:48,009
a destination for searchers
40
00:01:48,009 --> 00:01:52,007
rather than a means to find websites with answers.
41
00:01:52,007 --> 00:01:56,004
Many searches are now starting and ending at Google
42
00:01:56,004 --> 00:01:59,003
without the searcher clicking the website.
43
00:01:59,003 --> 00:02:01,006
Other features that are seen in the results
44
00:02:01,006 --> 00:02:04,009
are images, videos, Twitter,
45
00:02:04,009 --> 00:02:07,008
featured snippets that feature webpage content
46
00:02:07,008 --> 00:02:11,003
at the top of the results page, rich snippets,
47
00:02:11,003 --> 00:02:13,009
which include additional links to a website,
48
00:02:13,009 --> 00:02:17,007
typically the highest organic result, and news.
49
00:02:17,007 --> 00:02:19,004
These are important factors
50
00:02:19,004 --> 00:02:21,005
for website owners moving forward.
51
00:02:21,005 --> 00:02:23,002
Here's your assignment.
52
00:02:23,002 --> 00:02:24,008
Make several searches,
53
00:02:24,008 --> 00:02:28,006
including question based searches related to your industry.
54
00:02:28,006 --> 00:02:31,004
Make note of the results that have ads.
55
00:02:31,004 --> 00:02:33,000
How many have extra information
56
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,008
such as local results, maps, videos, news, and more?
57
00:02:37,008 --> 00:02:40,000
This will provide you with the context
58
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,007
of the competition in the SERPS for your business.
59
00:02:43,007 --> 00:02:47,006
Additionally, because most searchers use a mobile device,
60
00:02:47,006 --> 00:02:50,006
the first ad will take up almost all of their screen.
61
00:02:50,006 --> 00:02:53,000
They will have to scroll through additional ads
62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,006
to get to the organic results,
63
00:02:55,006 --> 00:02:58,002
those that are based on the search engine's algorithm.
64
00:02:58,002 --> 00:03:00,001
Use the exercise file,
65
00:03:00,001 --> 00:03:04,000
a basic template has been added to help you get started.
