Have you taken advantage of this year's hottest SEO trends? https://sejr.nl/3MjDw8A 🧵
1. User intent has proved to be HUGE this year.
Himani Kankaria, Founder at Missive Digital, said, “Considering the updates like Google rewriting meta title tags and coming up with indented results on SERPs in 2021, it seems Google is working hard to identify the right intent behind a user’s search, irrespective of the type of queries.”

2. Content Quality
“With recent enhancements to Google’s algorithm in the way of BERT and MUM, I think more and more SEO professionals are going to focus on the quality of their content and site structure,” said Jesse McDonald, Global SEO Strategist at IBM.
And that's certainly been the case.
