How Does Hummingbird Impact your Content Strategy?

Instead of ranking for keywords, your goal is to build authority around a page and a site, and drive traffic to it so that Google can deliver curated, validated, and verified pages.

It’s about building brand authority, but how do you do that?

• Create high-quality, useful content to deliver meaningful value to your audience, which you can measure by how much time a visitor spends on your pages and site and what they share across the social web.
• Create a high-quality website that provides top-notch online experience in terms of design, speed, and navigation.
• Create thoughtful, original content that attracts people, holds their attention and encourages them to share.
• Engage with your audience through comments, guest posting, and social web interaction.
• Establish and protect a credible identity that proves you as an authority.
• Connect all of your online content through authorship markup.
• Set and guide the online conversation with challenging, consistent content.

Bottom line:

• Get to know your ideal customer inside and out, and than create & deliver the content that they are desperately seeking.
• That being said, it has to be the best content if you want it to draw attention and traffic and spread across the web — and ultimately rank.
• Google doesn’t create content; they organize it. Content that is presented in the best way will win.
