Bruce Clay's Predictions for Digital Marketing in 2018

Be informed to make the most of your marketing budget this year.

Hi friends,

I've just published one of my most important posts of the year: Bruce Clay's Predictions for Digital Marketing in 2018.

Marketers across the board are facing receding budgets this year, as the C-suite is increasingly unwilling to dole out money without solid proof of results. Connecting the dots of customer journeys, however, is still not easy.

To help you make your budget go further, I've laid out my predictions for mobile first, voice search, content, linking, speed, SEO, ecommerce, machine learning, virtual reality, video and more.

Google and technology keep advancing. I expect a significant "disturbance in the force" when companies that have rested on their brand realize that the search engine's indexed content has changed enough to upset their rankings. Avoid this fate by being ahead of the trends!

Are Writers Expected to Do SEO?

Tools that help writers make informed SEO decisions

Hi friends,

There's a new post on the blog that addresses a crucial question for marketers, writers and optimizers: Are Writers Expected to Do SEO?

We're in a time when writers carry a heavy responsibility. They produce the content that marketing engines need to drive sales forward.

In fact, 72% of marketers surveyed said relevant content creation is the most effective SEO tactic. It makes sense, then, that writers should be equipped with tools that help them make informed SEO decisions along the way to making relevant, optimized content. 

The content marketing industry is becoming more data-driven. Writers have adapted by becoming more technically savvy, using tools that provide data to justify why a particular piece of content is needed, as well as tools to show how it's performing after publishing. 

Read about the SEO tools supporting content writers and tell me what you think. Are writers expected to do SEO?

How Do I Rank Higher in Google Local Search Results?

How Do I Rank Higher in Google Local Search?

Hi friends,

My just-published post on the BCI blog addresses a crucial question: How Do I Rank Higher in Google Local Search?

Showing up in Google's search engine can be extremely beneficial to your local business. That's the good news.

The bad news: Google doesn't care if you rank high or low. It cares only that there are quality results that answer the query to the total satisfaction of the searcher.

So the pressing question is, how do you rank higher on Google Maps and Google local search results? Improving your local search rankings is possible, and I've compiled 41 factors you need to know for local SEO. The results will be very real!

How Close Are We to Search Engine Marketing Running Itself?

How Close Are We to Search Engine Marketing Running Itself?

Hi friends,

There's a new post today on the blog by SEM manager Armen Keshishian. How Close Are We to Search Marketing Running Itself? Find out.

All around the web are speculations regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and the future of our civilization. The idea that computers will take over the majority of jobs in the workplace today has become well accepted. Some careers will be destroyed, although many more will be born as a result.

Warren Buffett stated that he believes AI will kill jobs but is ultimately good for society. Elon Musk is attempting to morph nature and technology with his new idea for Neuralink, a company he is launching to merge man and machine. And Mark Cuban thinks that the world's first trillionaire will be as a result of AI.

So what? How does this affect your day to day, or even your future? To understand the trajectory of SEM automation, we take a brief look at PPC history and the
 news about machine learning technologies in the online advertising space.

So who is the real winner when every business gets to take advantage of machine learning? Everyone involved! Why?
