According to the report of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), digital advertisement spend accelerates 49% in the first half of 2021 and it is expected to hit £10.5 billion (US$ 12.17 billion).  Advertisers are increasingly valuing deep engagement, and this is translating to migration of advertising spend from traditional to digital platforms, thus supporting the growth of the search engine optimization services market in the forecast period.

Search Engine Optimization Services Market Trends

Major trends influencing the search engine optimization services market include:

Use Of Rich And Featured Snippets

SEO service providers are advising their customers to use rich snippets to improve the ranking of web pages in search results. A snippet is a result displayed by search engines on the results page in response to a query made by the users. Rich snippets show additional information (image or text) in the snippet, helping the user to select the more relevant result. Rich snippets increase the click-through rate (the ratio of users who click on a specific link to the number of total users who visit a web page), thereby increasing the traffic and the ranking of a web page.  4 out of 5 websites with this type of content may be able to get an INSTANT bump in their search traffic.  Page results with rich snippets look much better compared to those lacking the additional features, thus increasing the likelihood of users clicking on the former — a 30% increase.  Featured snippets are short snippets of texts that quickly answer the searcher’s query and are featured on the top of Google’s Search Engine Ranking Page (SERP). They show a chunk of information about the relevant search. Scoring a featured snippet is a way to get on the first page of the search results. They also help us to gain traffic from fellow competitors. Google introduced featured snippets in 2014. There are different formats of Featured snippets; definitions, tables, steps, and lists. Some of the most popular domains that have earned featured snippets are; Youtube, Reddit, Quora, Amazon, Healthline, WebMD, and Fandom.

Voice Search

Companies in the SEO service market are focusing on voice search for the more simplified online search. When multi-taskers are searching for anything on the website, they are working simultaneously on other things as well, thus the voice search on their mobile phones using tools such as Google Assistant, Apple’s Siri, and Amazon’s Alexa.  The Mobile Voice Study by the Mountain View, CA, provider of search, online-advertising technologies, and other Internet products and services found that 55% of teens aged 13-18 use voice search every day, while 56% of adults said using voice search makes them feel tech-savvy.  The post-pandemic world is moving towards touchless user interface (UI) and ‘voice’ is playing a key role in enabling smarter brand-to-consumer engagement. Humanized interactive experiences in Voice AI are driving unbelievable value for businesses. Voice search queries in India are currently growing at 270% per year, and over 82% of smartphone users in India are using voice-activated technology.  27% of the global population is using voice search, 70% of voice searches were done using simple conversational language. Google speech recognition technology has 95% accuracy when English is used as the language.
