A mix of external influences are able to shape SEO. For business owners today, its finding the balance between reaching your audience and your content strategy. 

Each piece of content you publish is a step closer to becoming an authoritative figure in your industry.

Segmentation is creating content to suite different audiences. When you understand the needs, preferences and pain points of different consumer groups, you are able to create content that speaks to each audience segment, building relevance and a connection. 

Focus on creating content on topics where you excel, so you can establish your brand as an authoritative in your niche. Segmentation helps to transform generic content into personalised experiences that are tailored to the diverse needs of each audience segment. 

Search Generative Experience (SGE)

A powerful tool to help supplement your content strategy, helping to boost topical authority and relevance is Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE). It is the new way Google delivers search results, offering AI-generated insights that are based on search intent. When you leverage SGE, you can gain insights into brand perception, consumer sentiment, and reviews.

In 2025, we believe SGE is going to continue growing and reshaping online traffic patterns, depending on how search results are generated. 

Local Authority

Focusing on local authority and markets is a great way to optimise your content and improve brand authority. Consumer behaviour does vary from one geographical location to the next. 

Use local SEO when creating expert content, tailoring your content to your local audience. Google takes user locations into account when providing results, therefore ensure your Google Business Profile and local landing pages are optimised.

Create Content for Your Audience, Not Search Engines

If you have managed your own SEO strategy, then you have probably spent the last few years focusing on what keywords to use in your content creation. In today digital world, search engines are looking to provide users with the best search experience, which means as a business, your content needs to be created for your audience, not focusing solely on keywords.

Focus on areas where you already have a competitive advantage, rather than sharing thin content. Use data-driven insights and human intuition to create authority and credibility over time. 

Conclusion

Google is prioritising brand authority as it is constantly looking for ways to improve its user experience. Providing relevant and accurate results is important to this search engine giant. Focusing on brand authority when creating content over keywords can help improve your online visibility, while resonating with your audience.
