In fact, earlier this year Google shared that nearly 25% of searches performed on mobile devices were done through voice search. This...

Everything You Need to Know About the New Google Possum Update

By Wendy Hwang   A few weeks ago, Google released a new algorithm update affecting its Local Search results, also known as Google Places, Map Pack, and Google Maps. The algorithm was dubbed “Google Possum” by the SEO industry. Prior to the update, it had been extremely difficult for businesses located outside city center limits to appear in the Local Pack search results (found between the paid results and organic listings). This was a major pain point! It hurt local establishments that did business in major cities but were physically located just outside the perimeter.

Instagram’s New Algorithm: A Perfect Opportunity For You To Reassess Your Content Strategy

Co-authored by Jana Kopp   There’s always been a certain purity to Instagram. Since its inception in 2010, the social media platform’s simplicity was a tremendous allure to users.

Instagram's surge in popularity has resulted in an incredible amount of content - so much content, in fact, that users can no longer keep up with every post they follow. In...
