FOSTER CITY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BrightEdge, the global leader in organic search and content performance, today released BrightEdge SearchIQ at its Share21 industry event. SearchIQ is the only technology in the industry that analyses search signals and hundreds of key ranking factors to translate intent into actionable outcomes that align with organizations' business goals.

Search is Becoming Unpredictable - Winning in SEO is Becoming Harder Than Ever
As the digital landscape evolves rapidly, staying on top of Google search results is now at the top of every organization's business plan. In fact, in 2020, companies spent $70 billion (source – emarketer) on search as a whole trying to master the art of being top of Google search results.

Keeping pace with the critical requirements needed for search success is becoming a significant challenge. For example, Google has over 200 ranking signals, including links and backlinks, page speed and layout, content, and quality.

These factors are developed differently depending on the query. The net effect for search and digital marketers is that the ranking factors they are optimizing against are not always applied equally. 

For example, BrightEdge research, powered by SearchIQ, showed that government and education backlinks are very important for Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) categories. In addition, page speed correlation to rankings varies across industries, and Core Web Vitals (CWV) and technical page elements are important in healthcare, travel and home Improvement.

"To turn intent into revenue, organizations need to pinpoint precisely which key ranking factors matter the most to them and their industry. They need to do this in order to position well in search engine results and be easily discoverable by target audience and customers." said Jim Yu, CEO of BrightEdge." SearchIQ empowers marketers to do that and helps simplify the complexity of workflow and prioritization of resources to precisely show where SEO and digital marketers, objectively, need to focus their efforts."

Ren Lacerda, Head of SEO at Carmax, used BrightEdge SearchIQ to inform -what he refers to as the brand's strategic blind spots. "Well, there are SEO best practices we can rely on, there is even data we can collect, but we don't have all the data we'd like sometimes," said Lacerda.

"And that's where SearchIQ has helped out. It's provided a complete picture of what's going on, what ranking factors matter, and how those factors relate to our competitors. It helps provide the data evidence to back up ideas we thought we knew and increase our confidence of a particular strategy or even highlight areas that weren't even on our radar."
