I learned something new today about Search Enging Optomisation (SEO)

Today someone introduced me to the ultra-long-tail keyword and I could not understand or picture what it was about. It shows that verbal communication and teaching is accepted, whereas it is quite a struggle to convey that these types of phrases don’t compute for someone who processes visually. No amount of explanation will beat either giving me an example to recognise or an infographic. A long…

https://www.seolady.co.uk/google-mum-update-ai-ranking-seo-nlp-multitask-unified-model/ What is Google MUM and when was it updated in 2023?

content #naturallanguageprocessing #AI #Ranking

Multitask Unified Model MUM: Google developed its Natural Language Processing NLP - Does This Mean A New Way for SEO?

★ Originally dubbed "BackRub", the baby Google was the result of a research project that started back in 1996. Which means in 2026, technically, Google will be 30 years old. Do you remember Ask Jeeves, Netscape and Yahoo chat rooms? MSN chat and My Space with Tom?

In 2023, MUM uses natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning techniques to interpret complex questions and return highly relevant results. Google has famously been tight lipped with most new releases, from their blog the first announcement was in 2021.

★ It was created to address the growing need for more advanced search capabilities and to provide better experiences for users seeking information. ChatGPT AI was generally released in November 2022, and the SEO circles around the world are keeping MUM at the forefront of their curiosity in 2023.

★ https://www.seolady.co.uk/seo-keyword-research-chatgpt-search-phrases-long-tail-synonyms/

The MUM update is Google’s new AI language model that uses natural language processing to improve search results. This model allows Google to understand more complex queries, and it can help provide more accurate and relevant search results. MUM can also understand and translate between multiple languages, making it a powerful tool for international search.

★ According to Google, the MUM update is 1000 times more powerful than its previous BERT update, which was already a significant improvement in natural language processing. With MUM, Google can understand longer and more complex queries, making it easier for users to find what they’re looking for. This update also brings new features like a new search experience with dynamic layouts and visual search, so users can find the information they need faster and more efficiently.

How Manufacturers Can Leverage Content Marketing to Grow

Cold calls, print advertising, tradeshow participation, and knocking on doors once worked well manufacturers can no longer rely on them to generate leads that fuel sustainable, double-digit growth despite having an effective sales team that may still have some skills in these areas.

Inbound lead generation in commercial and industrial markets requires compelling brand storytelling and thought leadership that educates prospects along the buyer’s journey, who don’t want to talk with salespeople before they’re good and ready as they fear being “sold to” by people that don’t have their best interest in mind.

Problems Solved vs. Products & Services, Features & Benefits

Powerfully resonating with prospects requires brand storytelling that converts website visitors into prospects then into customers.

Your brand story begins with having a deep understanding of the problems faced by your prospects, what they need to overcome them, and the value to them in doing so before promoting all of your products and services and their features and benefits. Prospects are searching for who can solve their problems and may have a limited understanding of what will solve their problems, so claiming your solutions are “the best” and that you’re an “industry leader” may mean nothing until they have an understanding of how your products will help them.

The hero of your prospects’ story is themselves, so you need to educate them on how you can solve their problems, and how your people, process, products, and services – not just products – do so. This is what will resonate powerfully with them. In this way, you serve as a guide for achieving success and avoiding failure. Your products and services with their features and benefits are how you solve these problems..

Thus, your “brand story” needs to be told throughout all of your marketing: on your home and about pages, blogs, guides, case studies, marketing collateral, presentations, proposals, press releases, third-party website profiles, direct mail, email campaigns, your tagline, and anywhere else you promote your company.

A brand story for each product and service you sell can also be developed as each of them solves different problems in different ways for different markets. This “sub-brand storytelling” is also effective for different vertical and geographic markets as each has different requirements.

Extracting & Promoting Thought Leadership

When they have a problem that they want to solve – because the pain of not changing exceeds the pain of the change – prospects self-educate themselves by researching the internet before speaking with any vendors, so it’s important to provide educational content that will help them understand how you can solve their problems:

TOFU: Top of Funnel: this content builds awareness by providing an overview of the problems you solve and how your products solve them

MOFU: Middle Funnel: this content goes one level deeper and helps them consider between different options that can solve their problem

BOFU: Bottom Funnel: this content gets very specific and helps prospects make their final decisions

OOFU: Out of Funnel: this content is created in a misguided attempt to maximize keyword rankings and website traffic as part of a flawed search engine optimization strategy (SEO) but fails to generate leads though can be quite costly

Tip: it’s important to have a good balance of all types of content (except OOFU).

It’s especially important for manufacturers to understand that, in addition to learning about how you solve their problems with your products and services, your prospects want to know how your solutions and business practices compare with both direct and indirect competitors. They also want to understand how their investment can be cost-justified so they can sell the idea of buying from you to internal decision makers that may not be in communication with you. Product comparisons are very useful because this is what prospects try to compile themselves, especially if they include areas where your competitors have an advantage over yours. Case studies that include return on investment (ROI) estimates are also highly useful for prospects.

Lead-Generating Content Begins with Keyword Research

Understanding and prioritizing what your prospects are searching for is a critical first step for lead generation, which begins with conducting keyword research on all the different terms your prospects may use.

Onsite SEO then fully leverages the content you’ve already developed when you work the highest priority keyword phrases into your page titles, meta descriptions, H1 headers, and throughout the content of each page – just remember it has to read well and should only be performed by someone that thoroughly understands your business and what prospects value.

Brainstorming content ideas that incorporate these keyword phrases and educates prospects along the buyer’s journey is the next step, following by prioritizing these content ideas into an editorial calendar. The best content comes from getting a professional copywriter to interview your company’s thought leaders and then writing up what is learned in the form of foundational website content, blogs and guides.

Best Practice: Google Search Console reports the keywords people searched for to find you.

Creating Lead Magnets

When your prospects discover that you are providing education and thought leadership for how you can solve their problems, many will be willing to provide their contact information to download this gated content – especially long-form, MOFU and BOFU content including guides, whitepapers, ebooks, and webinars. It’s also important that your contact forms ask prospects where they found out about you so you can attribute each download to the marketing or other activities that generated them. It’s not recommend to gate promotional material that prospects expect to be freely available, including blogs, brochures, data sheets, infographics, case studies, and similar materials.

Promoting MOFU and BOFU also generate even more website traffic and leads, including in Google Ads, LinkedIn Campaigns, Microsoft Ads and other pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, your social media profiles (especially LinkedIn and Twitter), on third-party article publishing sites (e.g. Medium), and throughout your public relations activities.

The Manufacturing Content Creation & Lead Generation Process

Here are the steps for creating content that has been proven to generate leads and product sales from many commercial and industrial manufacturers:

Conduct keyword research and optimize all of your current content for search

Develop brand storytelling and implement it throughout your home and about pages, marketing collateral, presentations, and all other marketing materials

Write blogs and publish them on a consistent schedule, educating prospects on a wide variety of topics that help them understand how your products and services will solve their problems

Syndicate unique versions of this content on high ranking, third-party websites

Launch Google ads and email campaigns to bring more prospects in

Create microsites to promote how you solve specific problems in your top vertical markets

Launch ecommerce to supplement sales through your channel partners for people that want to speak with and buy directly from you – just don’t undercut them, so selling only at list price is recommended

Evaluate new market opportunities where your current competitors are irrelevant with Blue Ocean Strategy

This approach routinely generates sustainable, double-digit sales growth with an ROI of over 300% within 12-18 months when executed by an experienced industrial marketing agency – and your company will no longer be a well-kept secret in your markets.

The Case for a Marketing Audit

While it may be appealing to hire a full-time content marketer, SEO specialist, or to outsource to a manufacturing marketing agency that may wow you with shiny objects, conducting deep dive marketing due diligence with an experience marketing consulting resource understands your industry is typically a better way to start.

An effective marketing audit will identify what it will take for you to generate sustainable, double-digit growth by leveraging brand storytelling, content marketing, SEO, content syndication, email campaigns, marketing automation, social media, advertising, PR, and more.

Most marketing audits focus only on promotional marketing communications, so you may want to find an industrial marketing agency that can auditing the other three Ps of your marketing: products and services, pricing and placement (selling through channels and go-to-market strategy).

I made a post on twitter criticizing how tabletop rpgs overlrely on popular media to promote themselves, like this is "Zelda meets Diablo in a western setting" and a lot of people defend this approach saying that it's a quick way to make their game knows. And I said I would make a text about it, this is not it.

This is right now just a small quick points I like to make about it.

1- The main issue is that all this quick ways to talk about your game don't actually talk about it, we don't know the story, the setting, the mechanics, the possibility of characters, its just add a bunch of recognizable pop culture reference so we can create our idea on our minds, and this can make a lot of different interpretations of it.

2- All the references I see them talking are 99% things that are popular for the global north of the world (US/Europe), even when it's not something from them it's asomething popular for them, if it's japanese it's Zelda, it's Soulslike, it's Ghibli, if it's korean it's K-Pop, it's Parasite, and so on. With tabletop rpg becoming more and more global, we can see creators all around the world making games that will use their own references and cultures that might not be aligned with what the global north perceive as popular, and so their game will never get their chance to shine unless they find a way to tie it to Lord of the Rings or something else.

3- With the marketin machine not only for ttrpg but for entertainment in general we can a bigger push for new ttrpgs to always ditch their unique ideas in favor of something recognizable, that can be used with algorithm, seos, the small paragraphs of kickstarter, that more experimental ideas will be discarded so a popular keyword is used instead and this can create a homogenization of the ttrpg, all of the drinking from the same few ideas (we can argue that the 5e scene is close of this or already on that).

4- Ttrpg is very bad at talk about their mechanics, how they play, all this talk about how to present the game is always about the setting, the feel, but never how you play it, and seem that this is the most important part of the game, it should be presented more upfront. But I believe that this is the way because it's hard to describe a ttrpg mechanic fast unless it's using a srd, again relying on something popular.

5- Ttrpg in general have a very difficult time to present themselves as ttrpg, this hard time to talk about how they play, they always using other mediums that are ttrpg to quick show the vibes of the game show that the ttrpg scene needs to understand itself. It have a big growth in popularity and the ammount of game being made in the last decade, maybe the biggest it's ever been, but right now it needs to find it's voice, understant what ttrpg and what identity it have, and I say this from a place of love, of someone that wants to see the scene to mature and take a voice, not use others voice like it's ashamed of itself.

One addendum: I am not against using references, this is basic 101 in creative work, we need to do our research and we always uses references and other ideas to tweak and make it our own, we are always a sea of reference turned into something unique. What I having problems is to take 1 or 2, 3 parts of this process and focus too much on that, and worst of all, none of this parts are the unique imput of the designers, writers and artists.

Second addendum (sorry): From what I saw about people defending it, and those who use this referencing approach, one thing I realize is that almost all of the cases it's better for them to explain directly what their game are going to be, when they throw references usually end up is something incoherent that opens to a lot of interpretations that will be very far from what the game it it. And people defending most times than not goes with the argument that when talking and recommending to someone, using references helps, and this is call anecdotal evidence, when you use a personal story to exemplified a general idea, and first this isn't work, and second you can't compare personal talking with friends and colleagues with market campaign, they have different language and approach.

Third Addendum (...) : I didn't find any research or study that shows that this approach is benefical for the designers, that improve their reach and sales, I know it makes sense for sites that covers tabletop rpg due to the need to play wiht algorithm and SEO but for designers I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a concept they accept without put too much thought. The tabletop rpg scene, specially indie is usually overly hostile to marketing concepts, and in this case they could be automatically applying a market concept that might give the big reach they think it gives, but I would need to know some numbers to be sure.

Thank you.

Optimize Your Website for Conversions: Imagine your website as a virtual storefront, a welcoming entry point for potential customers into your digital universe. Ensuring that this first interaction is seamless and impactful is a crucial foundation for success. The concept of website optimization goes beyond aesthetics, diving deep into the realm of user experience. It's about strategically integrating compelling calls-to-action (CTAs), facilitating smooth checkout processes, and ensuring that your website is responsive and accessible across mobile devices. Each of these elements collaborates to create an environment that not only engages visitors but also fuels B2B lead generation, ultimately leading to increased conversions.

Implement SEO Best Practices: Navigating the vast expanse of the digital landscape requires a strategic compass. Search engine optimization (SEO) is that compass, guiding your brand towards higher visibility and discoverability. By refining your website and content to align with search engine algorithms, you pave a path for potential customers to easily find you. This journey involves meticulous keyword research, the cultivation of authoritative backlinks, and the crafting of top-notch content. Together, these elements elevate your brand's presence in search engine rankings, positioning you as an authority in your niche and drawing organic traffic to your virtual doorstep.

Harness the Power of Content Marketing: In a world driven by information and engagement, content marketing emerges as a beacon of connection. This dynamic strategy involves creating and disseminating valuable, relevant content that resonates with your target audience. From thought-provoking blog posts and visually captivating infographics to immersive videos and educational webinars, content marketing weaves a narrative that not only builds brand credibility but also educates potential leads. By serving as a bridge between information and conversion, content marketing shapes a customer journey that is both meaningful and impactful.

Leverage Social Media Advertising: In the realm of social media, where connections are forged and conversations thrive, lies an untapped reservoir of advertising potential. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer a treasure trove of advertising options equipped with advanced targeting capabilities.

Engage in Email Marketing: Amidst the whirlwind of digital advancements, email marketing remains a steadfast pillar in the lead generation landscape. It's the art of personalized communication, where each email serves as a conduit for tailored promotions, informative content, and the nurturing of leads. Cultivating a robust email list lays the foundation for strategic email campaigns, where the crafting of compelling content fosters a direct and intimate relationship between your brand and potential customers.

Partner with Influencers: The power of influence is a force to be reckoned with in the digital era.

These influencers, with their engaged online following, introduce your brand to a wider audience, fostering trust and recognition. The partnership forms a symbiotic relationship, driving both your brand's growth and the influencer's engagement, a testament to the transformative potential of influencer marketing in e-commerce.

Use Retargeting Campaigns: In the intricate dance of e-commerce, not every lead converts immediately. This is where retargeting campaigns step in, reminding potential customers of their engagement with your brand. These campaigns strategically place ads on social media platforms or deliver timely email reminders, gently nurturing warm leads and guiding them towards conversion. By maintaining a consistent presence in their digital landscape, you increase the chances of converting engaged leads into loyal customers.

In summation, the realm of e-commerce lead generation is a symphony of strategies.

[rushsmith13]

What is SEO and how does it work?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's a set of practices aimed at improving a website's visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal is to increase the quantity and quality of organic (non-paid) traffic to a website. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

Keyword Research: This involves identifying the words and phrases that people are using to search for information related to your site. Tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ahrefs can help you find relevant keywords with good search volume and low competition.

On-Page SEO: This focuses on optimizing individual pages on your site to rank higher. Key elements include:

Title Tags: Descriptive and keyword-rich titles for each page.

Meta Descriptions: Short summaries of page content that appear in search results.

Headings: Using proper heading tags (H1, H2, etc.) to organize content.

Content Quality: Creating high-quality, relevant content that answers users’ queries.

Internal Linking: Linking to other pages within your site to improve navigation and spread link equity.

Technical SEO: This ensures that search engines can crawl and index your site efficiently. It includes:

Site Speed: Ensuring your site loads quickly.

Mobile-Friendliness: Making sure your site is responsive and works well on mobile devices.

Sitemap: Creating and submitting a sitemap to help search engines understand the structure of your site.

Robots.txt: Directing search engines on which pages to crawl and which to ignore.

Off-Page SEO: This involves activities outside your site that impact its authority and rankings. Key elements include:

Backlinks: Getting other reputable sites to link to your content. Quality backlinks act as endorsements of your site’s credibility.

Social Signals: Engagement on social media platforms can indirectly influence rankings.

User Experience (UX): Improving the overall experience on your site, such as easy navigation, engaging content, and a clean design, helps retain visitors and reduce bounce rates.

Analytics and Monitoring: Using tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track your site’s performance, monitor traffic sources, and adjust strategies based on data.

SEO is an ongoing process since search engines frequently update their algorithms. Staying current with SEO best practices and adapting to changes is crucial for maintaining and improving your site's rankings.

1. Understanding YouTube SEO

YouTube SEO is the process of optimizing your videos to rank higher in YouTube’s search results. Like Google, YouTube uses an algorithm to determine which videos are most relevant to users’ searches. The key ranking factors include:

Watch Time: The total time viewers spend watching your video.

Engagement: Likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions.

Relevancy: How well your video matches a user’s search query.

2. Keyword Research for YouTube

Keyword research is the foundation of YouTube SEO. It helps you understand what terms people are using to search for content similar to yours.

Use Tools: Tools like TubeBuddy, vidIQ, or YouTube’s auto-suggest can help find the right keywords.

Focus on Long-Tail Keywords: These are specific, less competitive phrases that help your content rank faster. For example, instead of "yoga," you might use "beginner yoga for back pain."

Analyze Competitors: Look at the top-performing videos in your niche to find keywords you can use.

3. Optimizing Video Titles

Your title is the first thing viewers see. It must be both engaging and SEO-friendly.

Include Keywords: Your primary keyword should appear naturally in the title. Example: "Yoga for Beginners: Relax and Strengthen with This 20-Minute Routine."

Be Concise: Keep it under 60 characters to ensure it's fully visible.

Create Curiosity: Titles that promise value or solve a problem encourage clicks.

4. Creating SEO-Friendly Descriptions

Video descriptions help YouTube understand your content, making it easier to rank.

Write Detailed Descriptions: Aim for 250-500 words. Include your target keyword in the first 100 characters and sprinkle it naturally throughout the text.

Include Secondary Keywords: Use related keywords to further improve SEO.

Add Timestamps: Break down your video into sections with timestamps to improve user experience and help with ranking.

5. The Power of Tags and Hashtags

Tags and hashtags are a hidden gem for YouTube SEO.

Use Relevant Tags: Add 10-25 tags, including your primary keyword and variations of it. Example: "beginner yoga," "yoga for back pain," "morning yoga."

Leverage Hashtags: You can add hashtags in your title or description to improve discoverability. Ensure they’re relevant to the content, e.g., #YogaForBeginners.

6. Custom Thumbnails for Higher CTR

Your thumbnail is like a billboard for your video. A custom, high-quality thumbnail increases the click-through rate (CTR).

Use Bright Colors: Bright, contrasting colors grab attention.

Include Faces and Emotions: Thumbnails showing human faces tend to get more clicks.

Add Text Sparingly: If you add text, make sure it’s short, bold, and readable even on small devices.

7. Enhancing Viewer Engagement

Engagement signals are critical for boosting rankings.

Encourage Interaction: Ask viewers to like, comment, and subscribe at key moments in your video.

Use End Screens and Cards: These features allow you to promote other videos or playlists, increasing watch time and session duration.

Polls and Questions: Use YouTube’s interactive features like polls to engage your audience.

8. Optimizing Closed Captions and Transcripts

Closed captions and transcripts enhance SEO and accessibility.

Closed Captions: They help non-native speakers and those with hearing impairments. YouTube’s automatic captions aren’t always accurate, so upload your own if possible.

Transcripts: Post the transcript of your video in the description. This makes your content more searchable and helps with keyword relevance.

9. Utilizing Playlists for SEO

Playlists group related videos, improving watch time and SEO.

Create Keyword-Rich Playlists: Organize your videos into playlists using relevant keywords. Example: “Yoga for Beginners,” “Advanced Yoga Poses,” etc.

Boost Engagement: Playlists encourage viewers to continue watching your content, thus improving session time and video ranking.

10. Boosting Watch Time and Session Time

Watch time is one of the most significant factors for YouTube rankings.

Hook Viewers Early: The first 15 seconds of your video are crucial. Use an engaging intro to capture attention right away.

Deliver Value Consistently: Keep your content informative and engaging throughout. Aim for 5-15 minute videos, depending on your topic.

Maintain Session Time: Session time refers to how long a user stays on YouTube after watching your video. Encourage viewers to explore your other content using playlists and end screens.

11. Promoting Your YouTube Videos

Even with SEO, promotion is essential for gaining traction.

Share on Social Media: Post your videos across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Embed on Websites and Blogs: Embed your videos in relevant blog posts to drive traffic from your website.

Collaborate with Other Creators: Partnering with YouTubers in your niche can expand your reach and introduce you to new audiences.

12. Analyzing and Improving with YouTube Analytics

YouTube Analytics is your best friend for tracking performance and making improvements.

Monitor Key Metrics: Track watch time, CTR, audience retention, and traffic sources. These give insights into what’s working and what needs improvement.

Adjust Keywords and Content: If a video isn’t performing well, consider revising your title, tags, or description, or try promoting it again.

Experiment with Different Content Types: Use analytics to identify which video formats (tutorials, vlogs, etc.) resonate most with your audience.

YouTube SEO is an ongoing process, but when done correctly, it can significantly boost your video rankings and channel growth. By focusing on keyword optimization, engagement, and promoting your videos across platforms, you can increase visibility and watch time. Start implementing these strategies today, and watch your YouTube channel thrive!
