 News, SEO By Matt G. Southern During a recent Google SEO office-hours Q&A session, a concerned website owner inquired about the slow indexing of their 16,000-page site. Google Search Relations team member Gary Illyes provided a comprehensive response to the query, addressing the factors influencing indexing speed. Illyes explained that indexing speed depends on several factors, the most crucial being the quality of the site and its popularity on the internet. Illyes suggested that website owners ensure their content is of the highest quality possible to increase the indexing speed. High-quality content is essential as Google's algorithms prioritize it when determining indexing priority. However, the definition of high-quality content extends beyond the mere text of individual articles. |

| Digital Experience By Wilson Lau A new trend set to emerge is the corporate metaverse, where companies use the metaverse to train and empower their employees, allowing them to collaborate with each other more effectively from anywhere in the world. Marketers should pay particular attention to the evolution and progression of the metaverse. Those who are skeptical might miss out on a significant amount of digital innovation set to change the way society does business and functions as a whole. Virtual reality, augmented reality, smart glasses, social media, and cryptocurrency have existed as separate yet related ideas until now. The metaverse combines these moving parts to create a powerful tool for businesses and marketers alike. Normal physical boundaries do not limit this world, and therein lies its appeal for those looking for a more global reach. |

| SEO By Winston Burton With the pandemic easing up, people are starting to travel again, and the travel and tourism industry is once again on the upswing. For hotel brands, it's crucial to have optimized Google Local listings, a concierge strategy, F.A.Q.s, and a website that's optimized for Core Web Vitals. Beyond this, you must create useful and helpful content which – in conjunction with a sound S.E.O. and P.P.C. strategy – will put you in front of customers who are looking to book a trip. Although the pandemic has eased up and travel is on the rise, consumer behavior has undergone a dramatic change. Therefore, hotel brands must evolve their S.E.O. strategies to drive incremental bookings, traffic, and revenue to attract travelers in the present and future by following the latest strategies, trends, and tactics – and employing the right tools in 2023 and beyond. |
