But, there are also events in the digital marketing world you\u2019ll want to think about before you hit the trails.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s new in SEO?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The search space has been lately engaged in an algorithm updates race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On April 21<sup>st<\/sup><\/strong> Google hit mobile search with its long-awaited Google Mobile-Friendly Update and only the mice in the fields remain ignorant of this. The experts from Google pointed that Mobilegeddon was even larger than Penguin or Panda: twice as many non-mobile friendly pages lost rankings as gained after the Mobile Update. If you have not yet re-optimized your website to meet mobile-friendly guidelines, you\u2019d better start working on it before you take that vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webceo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Mobile-Seo-Issues-Checklist.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">Mobile SEO Issues Checklist<\/a><\/span> you will need to check your website pages for in order to gain the rankings you may perhaps have lost.<\/p>\n<p>But this is not the last Mobile-Friendly Update that comes into our view. At SMX Sydney, Garry Illyes (Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google) just said there will be another update called Platypus targeting <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webceo.com\/blog\/platypus-unveiled-smx-sydney-2015-next-big-google-algorithm\/\" rel=\"noopener\">slow page speed and app download interstitials usage<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all this noise, Google has confirmed that it is now official that there are <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/its-official-google-says-more-searches-now-on-mobile-than-on-desktop-220369\" rel=\"noopener\">more searches on mobile devices<\/a><\/span> than on desktops. This is big news and, if you want to dominate on Google search, then the mobile search optimization strategy is in your first-rate priority do-to list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On May 6<sup>th<\/sup><\/strong>, Google officially updated and renamed the Search Queries report in its Webmaster Tools. Now, in your Webmaster Tools you can find the Search Analytics report with more accurate data and filtering options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On May 20<sup>th<\/sup><\/strong><sup>,<\/sup> Google Webmaster Tools was rebranded into Google Search Console. Google decided to changes the ten year old name of the tool to a more universal because it is used not only by webmasters but also by website owners, SEO experts, marketing specialists, designers, web developers etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At the beginning of June<\/strong>, the Google team announced that they are going to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-we-are-working-on-making-the-penguin-updated-continuously-222247\" rel=\"noopener\">rework the Penguin algorithm<\/a><\/span> so it runs on a permanent basis. It means that there won\u2019t be any manual actions toward ranking changes because the data will be refreshed all the time. It doesn\u2019t mean that you can sit and relax because individual websites can still be hit with huge overnight ranking losses. This means that you will need to work towards <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webceo.com\/blog\/keep-backlink-profile-ever-clean\/\" rel=\"noopener\">keeping your backlink profile ever clean<\/a><\/span> and genuine in the eyes of Google.<\/p>\n<p>According to Search Engine Land this year the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/periodic-table-of-seo-2015-edition-222074\" rel=\"noopener\">SEO Success Factors Table<\/a><\/span> has been immensely updated and complemented by new factors such as the availability of Vertical Search, HTTPS and Direct Answers results.
