Being Relevant

Relevancy is one of the most famously used words in the SEO industry. For years, Google has been improving it’s algorithm to ensure only the most relevant websites are found for searches online. The latest updates from Google put even more emphasis on relevancy and we’re now getting to the stage where relevant content is more important than links and linkbuilding.

Don’t get us wrong; links are still a sign of your site’s popularity, so the more relevant ones you have, the higher your site will be for relevant phrases. That said, you now have to have good quality, relevant and engaging content to perform at the highest level. Many SEO agencies have essentially turned into ‘content marketing agencies’, improving rankings through high quality content and copywriting services. It’s a shift that’s taken place over the last couple of years and we’ll only see more emphasis on high quality content in the future.
