[0:00] Google uses hundreds of ranking signals and tweaks their algorithm around 500-600 times [0:05] per year. [0:07] And many of these ranking factors can't even be looked at independently. [0:11] It's not to say that they're unimportant, but an average person doing SEO for their site [0:15] doesn't need to worry about 200+ ranking factors. [0:19] So today, I'm going to walk you through the most important Google ranking factors [0:23] so you stay focused on the things that matter most. [0:26] Stay tuned. [0:26] [music] [0:31] The first and arguably most important ranking factor are quality backlinks. [0:36] Backlinks form the basis of PageRank, which is the foundation of Google's ranking algorithm. [0:41] They mention it on their "how search works" page, they've tweeted about it, and independent [0:45] studies confirm the relationship between backlinks and organic traffic. [0:50] But not all links are created equal. [0:52] There are a lot of factors that contribute to a backlinks ability to push a page higher [0:57] in the SERPs. [0:58] And the two most important are relevance and authority. [1:01] We have a full tutorial that goes deep into the attributes of high-quality backlinks, [1:06] so I'll link that up in the description. [1:08] The next ranking signal is freshness. [1:11] Freshness is a query-dependent ranking factor, meaning it's more important for some queries [1:16] than others. [1:17] For example, a query like "tesla news" has super-fresh results. [1:22] And that's because people want information on current news. [1:25] Not something that happened four years ago. [1:27] But freshness isn't limited to just news topics. [1:31] If we look at the SERP for the query "best headphones," you'll see that all of the top [1:35] ranking pages have the current year in the title. [1:38] And that's because people don't want to know about the best headphones from 2014. [1:43] Technology is advancing and there are always new models and manufacturers coming out. [1:48] But for a query like, "how to tie a tie", freshness isn't as important since nothing [1:53] has really changed. [1:55] So for queries that require freshness, keep your content up to date. [1:58] We have a step-by-step tutorial on how to identify these queries and republish content [2:03] to get more search traffic, so I'll link that up for you in the description. [2:07] The next ranking factor is search intent. [2:09] While backlinks are arguably the most important ranking factor, search intent [2:13] is likely the most overlooked. [2:16] Search intent represents the reason behind a searcher's query. [2:19] So when someone searches for "how to make chicken soup," they want to find a recipe. [2:24] When they search for "best headphones," they want to see a listicle with a variety [2:28] of different headphones. [2:30] And the way we determine search intent is by looking at the top-ranking pages and [2:34] identifying the 3 C's of search intent. [2:37] The first C is content type. [2:39] So are the top pages mostly blog posts, product, category, or landing pages? [2:45] For "best headphones," they're clearly blog posts. [2:48] The second C is content format. [2:50] So are most of the top pages how-tos, tutorials, listicles, or opinion editorials? [2:55] Again for "best headphones," they're listicles, which is kind of obvious since the word "best" [3:00] implies that comparisons need to be made. [3:03] Finally is content angle. [3:05] And this is the most dominant USP that the top-ranking pages are using. [3:09] For the query "best headphones," it looks like they're going with the "freshness" USP [3:13] by including the current year in the titles. [3:16] Of the 3 C's, content type and content format are absolutely critical to match, otherwise, [3:22] you'll be hard-pressed to rank high for any meaningful query. [3:26] Next up is topical authority of the website. [3:29] Google wants to rank pages from authoritative sources and this goes way beyond backlinks. [3:34] For example, if we look at the SERP for "how to unclog a toilet," you'll see that this [3:39] DR 42 site is outranking much more powerful websites with significantly [3:44] more referring domains. [3:46] Well, this page comes from a website that's just about plumbing so it's likely more authoritative [3:51] on that topic. [3:53] Now, if we're being honest, this is just an educated guess. [3:56] But there are more clues to help us solidify our argument. [3:59] #1. Google's search quality rater guidelines mention something called E-A-T, which stands for expertise, [4:06] authoritativeness and trustworthiness. [4:09] I don't know about you, but in our opinion, we believe that it's near impossible for a person [4:14] or website to demonstrate all three qualities on every topic. [4:19] Alright, so the second point of support for topical authority is in Google's SEO starter guide. [4:24] They say "cultivate a reputation for expertise and trustworthiness in a specific area." [4:31] #3. Pages on websites that are focused on one particular topic will have more internal [4:36] links from pages about similar things. [4:39] And not only do internal links help increase "authority," but they also help Google understand [4:44] what the pages are about. [4:46] Finally, there's evidence to suggest that the perceived authoritativeness of a site [4:50] is query-dependant in this Google patent. [4:53] Alright, the next ranking factor is content depth. [4:56] Depth is about hitting the talking points of a topic that searchers want and expect to see. [5:01] For example, if we look at the SERP for "best watch brands," you'll see that search intent [5:06] tells us that we need to create a listicle blog post specifically about luxury watches. [5:12] But this doesn't tell us what's important from a content perspective other than [5:16] the fact that we should be talking about Breitling instead of Timex. [5:20] In order to figure that out you need to actually visit the top-ranking pages and look for similarities [5:25] between the content. [5:27] And if you look at the top-ranking pages, you'll find that they all mention something [5:31] about price. [5:32] They all mention popular brands like Rolex. [5:35] And they all talk about technical specifications. [5:38] So if you want to rank for this query, you should probably talk about these things too. [5:43] It's not about limiting your creativity or copying others, but since Google is ranking [5:47] similar pages at the top, it's telling us what they want to see. [5:51] And since Google's job is to deliver the most relevant results for any given query, it's probably [5:57] what the searcher wants to see too. [6:00] Another way you can find talking points is to look at the People Also Ask box in the SERP, [6:04] as well as the related searches at the bottom. [6:07] Now, one other thing I highly recommend doing is to do a content gap analysis at the page level. [6:13] This is a bit different because it'll show you common keyword rankings between [6:17] the top-ranking pages. [6:18] Just go to Ahrefs' Content Gap tool and add the top 3 relevant ranking results in the top section. [6:25] Leave the bottom section blank and then run the search. [6:28] So as you can see, people want to know about the "most expensive watch brands," they want [6:33] "high end watches" and so on. [6:36] Try and extract subtopics from here and get a better understanding of the language people [6:40] use when they're searching for content on this topic. [6:43] Next up is PageSpeed. [6:45] PageSpeed has been a known ranking factor since 2010. [6:48] And while a lot of people obsess over improving their site speed by fractions of a second, from [6:54] an SEO perspective, it doesn't really matter much for most sites. [6:58] In fact, Google said: "The speed update will only affect pages that deliver the slowest [7:03] experience to users and will only affect a small percentage of queries." [7:08] Bottomline: improve your page speed so it's not super-slow. [7:12] You don't want people to bounce because your page wouldn't load. [7:15] What's more important about page speed is that if visitors won't wait for your page [7:19] to load, they won't see your content, contact you, or purchase anything from your site. [7:24] We have a full tutorial on how to optimize a WordPress website's speed, so I highly [7:29] recommend checking that out. [7:30] And even if you don't have a WordPress site, I cover a lot of the main principles [7:34] that contribute to load time. [7:36] Alright, next up is to ensure your site uses the HTTPS protocol. [7:40] In 2014, Google announced HTTPS as a very lightweight signal affecting fewer than 1% of [7:48] global queries. [7:49] And while using HTTPS probably won't make a huge impact on your site's rankings, [7:54] it's a quick win that you can do in under 5 minutes. [7:57] So if you're still using the unsecure HTTP protocol, then it's probably worth changing. [8:03] Finally is user experience. [8:05] Google wants to rank content that offers visitors a positive experience. [8:09] Because if people are finding good results from their search engine, then they'll keep [8:13] using it. [8:14] So the absolute basics would be to try and keep visitors on your site for as long as [8:19] possible without any kind of trickery. [8:21] So create easy-to-read content, a well-organized site, responsive design, and go easy on the ads [8:28] and pop-ups. [8:29] Basically, you want to have a site that's designed around the users' needs first. [8:33] Now, in terms of the way they measure user satisfaction is debatable. [8:38] There is no definitive proof that Google uses things like dwell time or CTR in [8:42] their ranking algorithm. [8:44] But if we look at this patent from Google, they describe how clickthrough rate and [8:48] other behavioral signals could be used to influence search engine rankings. [8:52] And while Google remains adamant that these factors are too noisy and unreliable, [8:57] SEOs have tried experiments and found CTR to be effective in higher rankings. [9:03] So the key takeaway: [9:04] instead of obsessing over metrics like CTR and dwell time, focus on creating excellent [9:09] content and an overall positive experience for visitors. [9:13] Now, was any of this advice new or exciting? [9:16] Nope, but that's kind of the point. [9:19] Ranking in Google is rarely about the latest tips, algorithm updates, or buzzwords. [9:24] It's about putting in the work to create content that searchers are looking for, providing a great [9:29] user experience and proving to Google that it's the best result for a query. [9:34] Now, a topic like Google ranking factors can be pretty controversial. [9:38] So are there any other ranking signals that I missed that you think are critical to focus on?
