tasks
Editor's Notes
Armed with your persona boards, we can help you create a content strategy for each step of the customer journey
You want to target consumers in the dream, plan, book and experience phases using content that is RELEVANT for that step
Last few months, Google has been using neural matching, - - AI method to better connect words to concepts. Super synonyms, in a way, and impacting 30% of queries. Don’t know what “soap opera effect” is to search for it? We can better figure it out.

This content can produce significant SEO benefits, increase user experience, and increase the brand reach if these content pieces are more visible, can easily be shared, and are connected to relevant areas on the website
Increasing visibility starts with the “The Jewelry information page”, which will be the content hub for How To & Tips, Guides, videos, and other services.
This hub provides a centralized location for content that is commonly searched for by users on JA’s site and on Google.
Objective:
Become go-to, authoritative resource on topics
Supplementary content hub
How To’s, Tips, Guides, and Informational Content
Content can be re-purposed across site
Content hub makes it easier for users to find content
In order for users to engage with your app, they need to invoke it. In many cases users will have your app in mind, so they ask the Google Assistant to interface with it. Additionally, as long as you design your app to accomplish specific, helpful tasks, the Assistant may recommend it to users when it's the best available app for their query.
The following sections explain the different types of invocation and describe how best to design your app with discovery in mind.
FAQ module website that is helping us to leverage voice search queries
LSI based content which covered query that user ask through Google Assistant and other voice searches
In above both accounts, we are considering C2BE visits as Conversions (Unable to track revenue for CP Jacksonville because of Brand booking engine)
CTR= click-through rate
CPC= Cost per Click
Please add Mobile first
Be secure with https
Be Responsive
Be Quick –Site speed to capture micro moments
Be accessible/crawlability – XML sitemap must include all FAQ pages
Enable compression.
HTML, CSS, Javascript files over 150 bytes should use file compression (like gzip)
Minify Code
Remove the bloat (spaces, commas, unncessary code/characters)
Reduce Redirects
Each time a page redirects to another page, your visitor faces additional loading time thanks to http request reponse cycle
Remove render blocking code
Browsers have to build DOM trees before rendering the page, if a browser encounters a script during that process, it has to stop what it's doing and execute it before continuing.
Leverage browser caching
Browsers cache information – set an expiration date for your cache (usually a year unless your site changes frequently)
Use "cache-control" and "ETag" in the .htaccess file
"cache-control" sets how long an individual response can be cached by the browser
ETAG provides the revalidation token sent to the browser to see if the resource has changed since last time the browser visited
Improve server resonse time
MUST be under 200ms
Use a CDN
Mostly for international SEO and page speed
Set up multiple edge point servers
Set up
Invocations
Build Actions using Dialog Flow
Set up Intent and Training phrases

Analytics
1.Content - Conversational
2.
PageSpeed is a significant factor; voice search results typically come from faster-loading pages.
page-load time for a voice result was almost 2X faster than traditional webpages
2. Google relies heavily on very authoritative domains for results, but pages not as much.
average Domain Rating of a voice search result was 76.8
Backlinko speculated that the voice algorithm was relying upon domain authority
3. Content that ranks well on the desktop tends to rank in voice search.
“FAQ pages tend to perform particularly well in voice search.”
only 1.71% of voice search results use the exact keyword in their title tag.
4. Schema may not be a factor: 36 percent of pages voice search results came from pages using Schema.
voice search result pages tend to use Schema slightly more often than your average web page, the difference is not significant. Also, 63.6% of voice search results don’t use Schema at all. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Schema has a direct impact on voice search rankings.
5. Roughly 41 percent of voice search results came from Featured Snippets.
6. Voice search results are generally 29 words; however Google sources voice results from long-form content.
7. HTTPS is critical.
8. The average word count of a voice search result page is 2,312 words. Therefore, Google tends to source voice search answers from long form content.
9. Appearing in a Featured Snippet may help you rank in voice search. 40.7% of all voice search answers came from a Featured Snippet.
10. Content with high levels of social engagement tends to perform well in voice search. In fact, the average voice search result has 1,199 Facebook shares and 44 Tweets.
