The State of SEO
Web Presence Optimization
 What does Google do?
 What does Google want?
 The Last1000 days at Google and the WPO
Approach
 Where are we Today?
 WPO = Optimized Content Marketing + Social
Media
 Ski-Specific Examples
 Tying It Altogether
What does Google do?
Google’s basic premise has never changed. Deliver the
right content to the right people at the right time.
However their means to identifying that content (The
Dreaded Google Algorithm) is changing constantly.
Why Do We Care?
Whether we like it or not, Google is the
de facto lens through which all
businesses are viewed.
97% of searchers do not go beyond Page
One and 80% of searchers do not click
on ads. Google Organic listings are #1.
What Does Google Want?
Current, relevant, authoritative
content.
Organizations need to prove to Google
they are the definitive source of
whatever keywords (products, services,
content) they want to be found for.
Google over the last 1000
days
 What it means to business.

 How does business deal with how
Google “sees” and “positions”
organizations.
 The WPO Approach is all about the
content.
1000 Days Ago – Local Focus
 Brought local results to the top of many results
pages
 Google Place pages mattered more than ever
 Online reviews mattered
 SEO still very much mattered
WPO Approach – Include local keywords in your
website , build local backlinks and seek out user
generated content / reviews.
900 Days Ago - Panda Updates
 Root out low quality, spammy sites with “thin”,
irrelevant content
 Directories, content farms and ad heavy sites are
targeted
 25+ updates since the initial roll out
WPO Approach – Make sure your site is
technically sound and content rich.
800 Days Ago - Social Signals
 8% to 10% of Google organic search algorithm.
 “Social networking and social media are about
relationships and relationships prove relevance. Relevance
is at the core of organic search.”
WPO Approach – Socialize your optimized content in
Facebook, Google +, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr,
LinkedIn, etc. Determine which social networks work
best for you.
700 Days Ago – Google +
 Google launches its answer to Facebook.
 Content shared via Google + will most certainly be
favoured by Google.
WPO Approach – Establish and leverage a presence
on Google + and find relevant people to follow.
650 Days Ago – Freshness
Update
 Google announces that it will give priority to fresh,
relevant content.
 Press releases, blogs, events, case studies.
WPO Approach – Give Google what it wants –
fresh, relevant, keyword rich content. Perhaps the
biggest challenge for SMBs.
600 Days Ago – Google + for
Business
 Branded Google + pages for Business similar to
Facebook Fan Pages
 Another channel to post and share relevant content.
WPO Approach – Generate optimized content
where Google wants it. Build a following. Follow
other relevant pages.
550 Days Ago - Search plus
Your World
 Full out assault on Facebook & Twitter
 Personalized results based on what people you follow
have liked (+1ed) and recommend
 Further confirmation that content posted in Google
+ will be given priority in search
WPO Approach – Continue to build Google +
following and encourage +1ing and sharing. Add
Google + button to website pages.
500 Days Ago – Knowledge
Graph
 Additional contextual info provided in a
box to the right of the primary search
results
 Designed to provide more contextual
content and encourage additional
searching

WPO Approach – Generate rich content which
relates and may be displayed within the knowledge graph
for specific searches
450 Days Ago – Penguin
 Google’s next major algorithm update focused primarily on
the quality of backlinks (inbound links)
 Aimed at Directories and Link Farms built solely to generate
backlinks, but with little in terms of valuable content
 5 updates since initial launch
WPO Approach – Generate backlinks from relevant, high
authority sources – industry sites, legitimate local directories,
blogs, forums, partner sites , reputable review sites, high
ranking websites.
400 Days Ago – Google + Local
 Google Places pages (Your Business’ Spot on the
Google Map now reside in Google +
 Google + Local to become a more interactive
platform for Local Businesses and their customers to
follow them
WPO Approach – Take ownership of/verify
Google + Local page, optimize content, continue to
encourage and respond to reviews.
350 Days Ago – Authorship

 Ability to tag website content and associate it with
an individual’s Google + profile
 Search results include the author’s pic and this
content is given more weight by Google
WPO Approach – Leverage authorship on any
new or existing web content
The Last Year – More Animal Updates

 Several Panda and Penguin updates designed to
penalize low quality sites and content pages
 Those with low quality backlinks even warned in
Google Webmaster Tools and Disavow Tool created
so site owners can have them removed
WPO Approach – Create good content, clean up
questionable backlinks and create high quality new
ones
90 Days Ago – Not Provided on Steroids

 Google decides to no longer reveal search terms
used by anyone. This will only be available to
advertisers.
WPO Approach – Pay even more attention to and
optimize pages which are positioned well for
keywords you want to be found for
60 Days Ago – Hummingbird
 Semantic Search – A significant rebuild of Google’s
algorithm focused on question based searches and
highly contextual results – addresses mobile search
 Rewards higher quality content
WPO Approach – Focus on creating rich,
relevant, quality content and responsive design for a
multi-device experience.
