5 Compelling Reasons to Adopt a Simple Brand Identity

Image
What is brand identity? First and foremost, a brand identity is how your company presents itself to customers. Another way you can define brand identity is to think of it as all the components that help people differentiate your business from competitors. Things like a color scheme, tone, logo, tagline, font, or even your most popular, signature products can all help build a lasting brand identity. Why does brand identity matter? As a local business, you may be asking yourself, “Why does brand identity matter to me?”. Perhaps you’ve already reached your goal of ranking in the local pack.

Should You Fight for Featured Snippets in 2020?

Image
Since Google introduced featured snippets in 2014, “position zero” has been considered one of the most coveted spots in SERPs.  Featured snippets allowed websites to vie for extra traffic by appearing both at the top of organic search results and again in the top 10 results.  Or that was the case, until Google rolled out a deduplication update on January 22, 2020, ending the era of featured snippets as so-called “position zero”.  In an attempt to declutter SERPs and improve user experience, Google now won’t surface the same URL twice on page one. The first page of search results will show a featured snippet plus nine search results (instead of 10), and the featured snippet’s URL won’t reappear on page one.  Given that featured snippets receive around 8.6% of all clicks, while 19.6% of clicks go to the first search results beneath it, many webmasters and SEOs aren’t happy with the update and have actively discussed the option of opting out altogether using Google’s nosnippet ta
