FAQs
What are Google Search Console and SEO Gets, and why are they important for online presence?
Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools) and SEO Gets are critical tools for managing and improving a website's visibility in search engine results.
Google Search Console is a free tool provided by Google that allows website owners to monitor their site's performance in Google Search, identify issues, and submit sitemaps.
SEO Gets (episode coming out soon) is a privately owned platform that offers similar functionalities, with a paid version providing more extensive data and bandwidth for analysis. Both platforms act as a "dashboard" for your online presence, helping you understand how people find your website and track conversions.
Connecting your website to these tools is a one-time, foundational step, similar to getting the keys to a house or turning on the lights; it establishes the essential connection for your website to send traffic signals to search engines like Google and Bing.
Without these connections, your online content, even social media posts, can be seen as "posting to thin air" because there's no system to track its impact and translate it into actionable data.
What is the concept of "content decay" and how can it be prevented or mitigated?
"Content decay" refers to the natural decline in the relevance and visibility of an article or blog post over time. A typical blog post has a lifespan of about 24 months in terms of prime visibility.
After this period, search engines are less likely to prioritize it in search results unless it's updated. To prevent content decay and maintain relevance, it's essential to regularly refresh or republish articles.
This involves updating the "modified date" of the content, which signals to search engines that the information is current. Just as a car's front wheels dictate its direction, the modification date allows an article to "turn left or right" in terms of relevance and continued traffic.
Updating content with new statistics, information, or perspectives refreshes its cycle, giving it another 12-24 months of potential leverage and allowing it to continue building traffic and influence.
