Search engine optimisation (SEO) predictions from Manchester for 2009

9 January 2009

The search engine optimisation (SEO) industry has seen huge change last year and yet more innovation and advancements are predicted for 2009.

With the SEO business little more than a decade old, companies reviewing their online marketing strategy and spend would be wise to take stock and consider what may now happen with SEO.

Fuse Optimisation is forecasting that four core issues will be at the heart of developments in the search engine optimisation industry.

SEO companies

Good search engine optimisation firms will thrive as those with decent track records, achievements and length of time in business survive the economic downturn in 2009. Fuse Optimisation expects to be among them as we continue our focus on content is king, providing our customers with an unrivalled content-biased service that has been ensuring success for our clients since early on in this millennium.

Conversion rates

SEO-generated conversion rates - not site traffic - will be most important as the recession bites deep into companies profits. Firms will be more interested in return on investment which is a huge focus for Manchester-based Fuse. We believe our strategic approach to SEO accomplishes success for clients, creating additional revenues and delivering great returns on SEO investment.

Inbound links

Most experts agree that a strong component of Google's algorithm is based on off-page optimisation. This fact highlights the importance of generating good quality back links to websites. It is important then that website managers apply a certain amount of resource to this area which Google and the other search engines quite obviously rate highly. The Fuse philosophy is that great content generates great links.

Universal search

Google's universal search system allows different types of content such as videos, audio, news, maps and other media to be displayed in search results alongside traditional copy. In 2009, Fuse predicts more and more searches will incorporate Universal Search results as Google works to fulfil its promise to provide results that have more content options that just text.

Fuse is well-placed to help businesses meet the content challenges of universal search with a track record of using its on-site multimedia facilties to create the type of content for clients that Google aims to serve up in search results.
