Future of SEO Process

The future of SEARCH ENGINES KNOWLEDGE GRAPH Google recently implemented "knowledge graph" by using its massive database of information to discern the relationship and connections among terms and phrases. For example, a search for "Los Angeles" returns geographic and demographic information on the city as well as places of interest. Such specialized search capabilities hold the potential to siphon users away from vertical search engines and may pressure their growth in the future. SOCIALINTEGRATION Google integrated its social network, Google+, with its search engine. f Microsoft has integrated Facebook into its search engine, Bing. when a user searches for a specific place or prod- uct, a sidebar will show them if any of their friends recommend it. Search engines will increasingly cooperate with social networks to enhance users' search experiences over the next five years. Social network integration could vastly expand the scope of search engines'advertising operations, by combining the automated and targeted marketing capabilities of search engines with the branding campaigns that social networks are better suited for.

LOCATION-BASED Over the next five years, location based services are expected to play an icreasingly large role in this industry. Search engines will be able to display advertisements to consumers based on their real-time location. Advertisers could effectively nudge consumers into purchasing products or services at precisely the most convenient time for the consumer. USER INTENT The ability for search engines to more correctly determine a user's search intent will serve to increase advertising revenue further. Search engine technology is moving away from providing results based on keywords and instead is being geared toward discerning a user's intent. A For example, a user searching for background information on electronics would be presented with content sites about electronic technology, while a user looking to purchase an electronic device would be presented with more commerce oriented websites Google has begun to integrate vertical searches into its search platform and has made strides toward delivering search results based on a user's intent. It's hard to ignore the potential for the evolution of the search engines. It may be cliché to say, but only time will tell where search engines will go.
