2. How has SEO evolved in the past and where it’s heading?

From day one, Search Engines are in the business of delivering the best answer to any question. 

The first job of anyone willing to rank their content is to produce the best answer. 

What changed is the massive amount of content and competition, which is only getting bigger and bigger. 

Making it a necessity to audit the Search Engine Result Page, understand your competitive landscape, and have an honest view of how good your content is versus the competition.

Updating your old content when necessary and making sure it’s still the best, and worth sharing.

Finally, growing your authority is no longer limited to the number of backlinks or referring domains linking to your site.

Your reputation, testimonials, feedback, and social mention are more than ever powerful off-page SEO Signals and Ranking Factories.

Making Digital PR part of the SEO Journey.

3. What are some SEO tactics that Businesses can adopt?

A goal without a plan is just a wish. The same applies to your SEO effort.

SEO is not Rocket Science; you just need a framework.

Mine is this SEO Checklist, but in a nutshell :

– Start with the foundation to measure your KPI (you can’t improve what you don’t measure)
– Create an efficient content strategy starting with Keyword Research
– Check your on-page optimization every time you press “Publish”
– And grow your authority by building meaningful relationships with other webmasters.

4. Can you share an effective backlinking strategy you have come across lately?

The best link Building Strategy is to start by building relationships with people relevant to your industry as soon as possible. 

Slowly build a list of 30-50 websites from which you would love to get a mention, and work your way in their network. Follow them on social media, and interact with their content (like, share, comment)

And when the time is right, you won’t be a stranger when it comes to asking for a backlink.

Remember that every stranger is a potential friend, but for now, you’re just a stranger.

There is no shortcut in your SEO Journey, it’s a slow burner and it takes time.
Be patient, and start early, then stay consistent at it by creating habits from your processes.

Don’t get fooled by some SEO promises that seem too good to be true.

And always prioritize quality over quantity.
