      It’s still all about being found!

      The very first edition of this book came out in 2010 and a lot has changed in search in that time. SEO has gone from an acronym which constantly needs to be explained to a term which underpins many of the activities of every webmaster.

      In this time search itself has also changed. It has become, for a start, the de facto means through which we navigate the web. It has also matured and fragmented. Google still dominates the web as far as search is concerned but search has splintered across video and mobile to name but just two massive search verticals.

      YouTube is the second most popular search engine on the web. Google has managed to become the dominant player in mobile search and search results delivered across mobile devices.

      Search, these days, is about being found not just in traditional, desktop based searches but also being found on the go through mobile devices and tablets, being found in apps when those who use them least expect to find you and being found on search, in search queries that still reflect your business but you may not have thought of.

      In few other marketing activities does the phrase the more things change, the more they remain the same hold as much meaning as it does in search.

      In the intervening years since SEO Help v1.0 came out to so much acclaim search has gone from an activity that entered a business’ marketing toolkit as an afterthought to being one that is directly responsible for a business’ success. In plain speak Search is Marketing. If your business cannot be found on the web it cannot do business.

      It really has become that simple.

      This also begs the question on what you need to do. The original SEO Help had a simple premise: it offered you 20 search engine optimization steps. It did not explain why you had to take them, nor how they impacted on search engine technology to help your website rise in rankings. I took that to be one of those things that are nice to know but not necessary. I still do. Search however has fragmented to such an extent that I could easily give you 40 – 60 maybe even 100 steps to take, this time round and perhaps not even cover it adequately.

      I haven’t.

      I have still kept this book to 20 steps, though these now are new steps, almost entirely.

      I have taken into account the fact that technical SEO has receded ever deeper into the website mechanics and non-technical SEO has risen a lot more in importance. I have factored in the introduction of Semantic Search that is going to play a key role in the way search across the web evolves. And I have fully taken into account the fact that search now is all about intercept marketing. It’s not just about getting your website to rank higher for specific search terms anymore because the idea that you could simply outrank your competitors and get more business has, itself undergone a fundamental change.

      Being first on the first page of Google makes less sense than ever because the first page of Google has fragmented and mutated to the point that it is virtually different for every person using the search engine, looking for something, through their device.

      So, while being first on the first page of Google is still important, the idea of ‘first’ or rather the value of it has changed almost as radically as the first page of Google itself. What counts today is conversions from online visitors to customers and being found at just the right moment when those looking for your products or services are most highly committed to taking action.

      With these two thoughts in mind I have put together 20 fresh steps. I have not explained the why but I have, as always, detailed the what.

      Follow them and you will see a couple of things happening: first your website ranking will improve. That’s a given. But second, and more important in terms of what I am trying to achieve, you will increase the visitor numbers to your website. These will be visitors actively looking to find you who will be finding you through unexpected avenues.

      These visitors, the ones who really want to know what your online business does, are also the ones most likely to want to do business with you. It is these you need the most and it is these that I will help you find.

      In the preface to the first edition of this book I wrote, somewhat naively perhaps, that SEO may go away. I was not entirely wrong. SEO as an activity that aims to game Google search has, largely gone away. Websites of low quality that appeared on the search results without deserving to be there have also gone away. In many ways the SEO mentality of 2010 is well and truly gone. But SEO defined as search engine optimization that helps your website get indexed better, faster and be found is never truly going to go away.

      The reason for this lies in the underlying complexities of search technology and the point where it meets website building technology and even browser technology.

      These are complexities that do not concern you however. What you need to know is that in the brave new world of semantic search and mobile marketing you have a practical 20-step guide that will help your business do more business, find more customers and make more money.

      Use it. Win.
