Bruce Clay Inc., a global Internet marketing service provider, announces the release of a 20-page report for website owners and marketers. The action items for optimising a business’s online presence and getting clicks from search results account for changes to Google’s search layout, users’ social behaviour and rising mobile use.

The SEO Report helps business owners take advantage of opportunities like search results enriched with:

  • star ratings
  • event times

  • and author photos.

Other SEO tactics covered in the report include:

  • the recommended way to set up a website for viewing on mobile devices;

  • and how to leverage the social network Google+ for enhanced online visibility.

“Consumers use Google and other search engines to find the businesses they grow to know and love. SEO has always helped businesses spark that initial attraction, but SEO has changed more rapidly in the last year than it has in the last decade,” said Bruce Clay, president of Bruce Clay, Inc. “This report is a vital guide to help business owners take advantage of marketing opportunities in Google and online.”

Central to the report’s findings are Google’s shrinking tolerance for spam tactics and the search engine’s spam-fighting penalties that hit some businesses hard over the last 18 months. But the forecast is not all gloomy. The report also details new technologies and marketing techniques that help websites get noticed in search results.
