										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I do not trust writing SEO tips based on documentation or recycled checklists. All this is based on practical experimentation, modifications I have made, metrics I have monitored, and improvements in performance that I have observed in the case of indexing, visibility, and rankings. Image optimization is one of those things that individuals get wrong in either of the two ways: They either make it too complicated, adding unwanted fluff, or they ignore it altogether. Neither approach works. These are the most important checkpoints that I go through before I can call any image actually SEO ready.</span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>High-Quality Images Build Instant Credibility</b></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Within a few seconds, users make a judgment about your website. They see the appearance and feel of the page even before reading what you have to say, before considering how expert you are. Pixilated, overstretched, and blurred images will instantly lower the perceived quality, even when the text is of high quality.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Strong Visuals: </b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make your content sound professional.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reinforce authority</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Increase time on page</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduce bounce behavior</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optimizing must not imply destroying visual clarity.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Best practice:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use sharp, clean images</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stock images should not be fake or overused.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When an image conveys something, it must be visually clear at first glance</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, file size matters. File size optimization must never come at the expense of clarity. It is important to reduce the file size, but not clarity. Unless you can trust the page as a visitor, the search engines would also not see strong engagement signals.</span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>File Size Directly Affects Performance</b></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most widespread hidden performance issues is large images.</span></p>
<p><b>They slow down:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">First Contentful Paint (FCP)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And the majority of site owners are unaware of it. I have been able to increase page rankings without making one word alteration just by making images smaller and loading faster.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>What consistently works:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Compress images as much as possible without visible quality loss</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use realistic images in blogs that are less than 100 KB.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep thumbnails and icons under ~30 KB</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Compression tools are useful, but it is always necessary to examine the output visually.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>Modern Formats Are the Standard Now</b></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are still relying on JPG and PNG, then you are falling behind.</span></p>
<p><b>WebP delivers:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smaller file sizes</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similar or superior visual quality.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better performance scores.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Switching to the new formats will not take you to the first page of search results instantly.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>But WebP combined with:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solid hosting</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proper caching</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clean layout</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Efficient delivery</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That increase in speed adds up with all that you are doing. Layered optimization is the most effective.</span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>Every Image Should Add Real Value</b></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most common mistakes: images that are used as decoration. They dismantle the text, yet do not enhance comprehension.</span></p>
<p><b>Before adding any image, I ask:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is this making the topic more understandable?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does it make complex things simple?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would the page feel weaker without it?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>The pictures that always make a good performance are:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Annotated screenshots</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step-by-step walkthroughs</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before-and-after comparisons</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clean diagrams that minimize mental effort.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Search engines are increasingly capable of understanding relationships between text and visuals. Google is progressing toward multi-modal understanding (text + picture + intent). it strengthens the overall page quality directly or indirectly. If it’s just filler, it adds noise. And noise rarely helps rankings.</span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>File Naming Still Sends Context Signals</b></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">File names are not magic ranking boosters, but they still fit into the greater scheme of things.</span></p>
<p><b>They help with:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image search visibility</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Context alignment</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Accessibility</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Bad examples:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">IMG_4829.jpg</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">final-edit-new.png</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"></li>
</ul>
<p><b>Better examples:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">image-optimization-checklist.webp</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">seo-image-compression-example.webp</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Best practices:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep names descriptive</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use lowercase</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Separate words with hyphens</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Align them with the section topic</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">No keyword stuffing or awkward phrasing.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just clarity. Clarity is more effective than tricks.</span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><b>Smart Alt Text Improves Accessibility and Search Visibility</b></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keywords should not be dumped in the alt text. It exists to explain the picture in a meaningful way. Write it as though you are describing the image to somebody on the phone.</span></p>
<p><b>Strong Alt Text:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gives clear descriptions of what can be seen.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Only includes relevant keywords that are natural.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LSI or similar terms should be used when it makes sense.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example</span><b>, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">a comparison between a compressed WebP image and an uncompressed PNG to improve page speed. It is likely to sound robotic. The enhancement of accessibility establishes a greater organization and context. A better context enhances the interpretation of your content by the search engines.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Benefits: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Helpful alt text is first beneficial to real people and second beneficial to SEO. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Server Performance Strengthens Speed and Rankings</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Poor infrastructure will not be fixed by image optimization. When the hosting environment is slow, unstable, or improperly configured, then everything will suffer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You have to consider:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hosting quality</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Server response time</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Caching</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CDN (where necessary)</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most individuals discuss SEO on the browser side. Few consider the protocol configuration on the server side.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your hosting supports:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HTTP/2 or newer protocols</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proper TLS configuration</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Server performance impacts:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Load speed</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asset delivery efficiency</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Parallel request handling</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Real user experience</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have witnessed a few instances in which improvements were made to the server rather than the content. The technical foundation is more than many people admit.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Content Is No Longer “For Search Engines”</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At some point, SEO involved the art of keyword placement and wishful thinking. That time is over. The questions are now different:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does this page provide a real solution to the query?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does it load fast?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is it easy to understand?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are the images in line with the message?</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I do not make content just to please algorithms anymore.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I focus on:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What brought the user here</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What they’re trying to solve</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How soon can I make them understand?</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rankings naturally improve when there is a good and effective cooperation of text and images, rather than being imposed.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>The Bigger Picture Behind Image Optimization</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image optimization is really not based on compression ratios or file extensions at its core. It’s about reducing friction. Every decision you make either Simplifies the consumption of the page. Or makes it slightly harder</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduced wait times are due to shorter load times.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Visual images minimize confusion.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strong quality builds trust.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coordinated messages enhance interaction.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You keep the users longer when you continually eliminate friction. They interact and trust your content more, and when that scales, performance is improved. Not because you optimized for search engines.But because you made something truly better. It is how true, sustainable SEO would appear.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>Building a Legacy of Impact and Innovation</strong></p>
<p>I am deeply humbled and honored to share a proud moment in my journey: being recognized with the prestigious <strong>Entrepreneur2025 Award</strong> by <strong>CXO Global Forum</strong>. This milestone is not just a personal achievement but a testament to the incredible support, guidance, and collaboration of so many individuals who have been a part of this story.</p>
<p>From the inception of <strong>Digital Minds Pakistan</strong> to the establishment of <strong>Shaheen Realty</strong>, this journey has been fueled by a vision to inspire change, empower others, and create meaningful impact in the digital marketing and real estate sectors.</p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<p><strong>Shaping the Future Through Education</strong></p>
<p>One of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey has been the opportunity to empower others. Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching <strong>SEO and Digital Marketing</strong> to over 1,100 aspiring professionals. Seeing them go on to build thriving careers and successful businesses has been one of my greatest sources of inspiration.</p>
<p>Education is the foundation of growth, and I firmly believe that sharing knowledge is the most powerful way to create a ripple effect of success. It’s not just about teaching skills—it’s about instilling confidence and fostering a mindset of innovation and resilience.</p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<p><strong>Digital Minds Pakistan: From Vision to Reality</strong></p>
<p>When I founded <strong>Digital Minds Pakistan</strong>, I had one goal in mind: to redefine the digital marketing landscape through innovative strategies and measurable results. Today, the agency stands as a beacon of excellence, with a global clientele and a proven track record across industries such as real estate, e-commerce, and hospitality.</p>
<p>But success is never the end—it’s a stepping stone. As we look ahead, the expansion of <strong>Digital Minds</strong> to <strong>Dubai</strong> is a significant chapter in this journey. This move represents not just growth but a commitment to bringing our expertise to new markets and helping even more businesses achieve their goals.</p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<p><strong>The Entrepreneurial Spirit</strong></p>
<p>The road to success is never a straight line. It’s a winding path of challenges, lessons, and moments of triumph. Throughout this journey, I’ve learned that the key to lasting success lies in staying true to your purpose and being adaptable in the face of change.</p>
<p>Winning the <strong>Entrepreneur2025 Award</strong> is more than just a recognition of past achievements; it’s a reminder of the responsibility to keep pushing boundaries, to innovate, and to continue making a difference.</p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<p><strong>A Message of Gratitude</strong></p>
<p>This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, my incredible team at <strong>Digital Minds Pakistan</strong> and <strong>Shaheen Realty</strong>, and the clients and partners who trusted in our vision. To the students I’ve mentored, thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. Your success is my greatest reward.</p>
<p>To everyone reading this: no dream is too big, and no challenge is insurmountable if you have the courage to pursue your passion and the perseverance to see it through.</p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p>
<p>As I reflect on this journey, I’m reminded that this is just the beginning. The future holds endless possibilities, and I’m excited to continue exploring them with the same passion and purpose that brought me here.</p>
<p>Let’s build, grow, and inspire—together.</p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<p>Thank you for being a part of this journey. Here’s to dreaming big and making it happen!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been working for the last 6 years with various real estate marketing companies in Dubai and conducting webinars to guide real estate companies and their marketing teams on Meta and Google Ad strategies for different objectives. The most frequent question people ask me in webinars is what is the best strategy for Google ads to generate qualified leads in Dubai real estate market.</p>
<p>I thought I should write a brief blog on this so people who cannot afford to join my webinar and consultancy can learn apply and add value to the companies they are working for.</p>
<p>I would suggest to very simplified 4 Step Strategy that can be easily applied.</p>
<p><em>Note this strategy requires a decent budget to get results.</em></p>
<h2>Step 1: Right Structure of the Campaign and Ad Groups.</h2>
<p>Structure it right, do not target all prospects looking for your inventory or offerings in one ad group. Structure it properly for example if you are promoting a Pre-Launch project for a developer.</p>
<p>create a new campaign for that developer by looking at the type of inventory like one bed apartments, 2BR and 3BR apartments.</p>
<p>Create Ad group respectively and add keyword note do not ignore right keywords for your offering which does not have good search volumes, it will still work for you.</p>
<h2>Step 2: Choose Right Goals and Stick With it.</h2>
<p>the most common reason for a Google ad campaign that fail is distracting from the goal, If your goal is to generate calls then align the campaign and ad group, and keyword for this goal. Choose the right goal for your campaign so Google can learn and optimize your campaign for the right prospects that tend to call after visiting or viewing the ad.</p>
<h2>Step 3: Choose right bidding strategy.</h2>
<p>Another common mistake that advertisers make is to change their bidding strategy after a few days of starting a campaign on Google. If you decide to generate calls from your ad campaign the best bidding strategy is to select &#8220;Conversion&#8221; as your bidding strategy and do not make changes in your ad until it completes the learning phase of 7 days.</p>
<h2>Step 4: Location targeting</h2>
<p>This part makes or breaks any Google ad campaign for real estate marketing in Dubai. usually, advertisers target other countries then UAE and put their local number while they set their goal for generating phone call leads. Google&#8217;s learning fails here Google tries to trigger your ad for those prospects who tend to initiate call after viewing your ad or visiting your website but the international number usually discourage them from calling your business due to international call charges, many people do not call as they can&#8217;t figure our what amount they would spend on this call and how long they will have to talk with the person.</p>
<p>Using Toll-free or Local numbers of your target location will encourage your prospects to call you to get information and do business.</p>
<p>Lastly, I would highly recommend you have great experience on your landing page, make sure it loads faster in your target locations, and provide the information they need.</p>
<p>I hope this will help you improve your Google ad campaign for Dubai real estate market.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, everyone!</p>
<p>Allow me to introduce myself—I&#8217;m Rameez Ul Haq, a dedicated practitioner and learner in the realms of SEO, PPC, and Digital Marketing since 2008. My journey has spanned from collaborating with billion-dollar enterprises to small-scale businesses, managing budgets exceeding $2 million, and achieving impressive 6x returns for e-commerce establishments and service-based ventures</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So like you thousands of SEOs face page indexing issues and see high number of Crawled &#8211; Currently Not Indexed and Discovered &#8211; Currently not indexed issues in Search Console, especially after May 2020. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As I mentioned in May 2020 most of the SEOs reading this can easily figure it out what’s the main factor that is causing this page indexing issue, yes it is mainly due to Page Experience. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Guys you have to understand that Google not making its system against you or making your life difficult by making its search algorithm more efficient, Google is only taking steps to its primary goal which is the most accurate results in the fastest way possible. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Put yourself in Google’s shoes and think what steps you will take to making it sure to provide users the most accurate results in the fastest way possible when you already have an algorithm like Hummingbird that understands the intent hidden in a search query and Rankbrain to make it possible for you to provide answers and results even on the unique query that system never seen it before. If you are not figuring it out let me explain in simple words. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You would make arrangements to pick a webpage that not only answer the query but also provide up-to-date information on the topic, that user can find by search query that is made by typing on the Google search bar or by a voice search by mobile devices. You would also take the speed and user experience of the webpage in account to make a choice to pick a page to index and to be ranked. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To make it more clear and easy to understand let me give you an example. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Covid 19 virus surfaced in November 2019 and doctors, and authorities including United Nations had to define some SOPs to prevent the spread but just after 3 months those SOPs got obsoleted and they all had to propose new SOPs. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now in this scenario, Google will pick a webpage that offers the most recent information on covid 19 SOPs, not the older ones, and choose from thousands of pages having the same information Google has criteria that filter out the best of the pages that Passed Google Panda screening, Google Penguin, convince </span><a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/hummingbird-most-used-word-after-not-provided-data-in-search-market/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hummingbird</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and Rankbrain and in the last </span><a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/user-experience-key-factor-for-winning-seo-strategy-in-2017/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USER-EXPERIENCE</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, to make it sure no page of your index struggles to be indexed you have to follow this checklist: </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Useful Content</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Not only unique but useful content that actually answers a question and is written with </span><a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/answering-to-moq-whats-the-most-important-factors-in-seo-2023/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EAAT guidelines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Connect</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: making it sure every single page is connected through your navigation even if have to link at tier 4 structure. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Cross Reference</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: To make each piece of content more useful consider interlinking very efficiently like I interlink a blog page in the first point of this checklist. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>HTTPS/ SSL</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: making it sure you have reliable SSL implemented most of the hosting provider gives you SSL for free but those does not comply with Google criteria. In 2022 Google integrated SSL screening report in its Search Console tool Named HTTPS report that tests each of your webpages before it can go into Google’s database. </span><a href="https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-adds-new-https-report-to-search-console/464514/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more about this here.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Page Speed</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Make sure every part of your site loads fast and hits green on the Google Page Speed Insight tool. Don’t work only on your homepage, speed matters for every page that needs to be ranked. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Mobile Experience</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Like I alway emphasize on mobile first design approach to encourage my readers and students who learn <a href="https://digitalminds.pk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SEO Mastery course at Digital Minds</a>. This is one of the key factors that contribute in high number of issues you see under crawled but index and discovered but index pages in the Search console tool. Making it sure content is really readable on mobile devices, it does not wider than the screen size, elements are not too close together that overlap on each other or disturb tap optimization. Accessibility of information is optimized by providing good styling of CSS on links, important notes, CTAs, and forms. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Keyword Cannabalization</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Another factor that contributes in issues like crawled but not index and discovered but not index.  Make it sure a webpage does not target the same keyword you have targeted already for a product, collection/category, or service page. Tip: When policing on this also take synonym terms in account and take appropriate actions like redirections, marking no-index, and marking canonical to the master page what suits at the situation. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I hope this blog helps you to make your website more amazing and powerful with SEO practices. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Your insights, questions, and comments are invaluable. Feel free to engage, query, or connect regarding any SEO or PPC-related matters.</p>
<p>Warm regards,<br />
Rameez Ul Haq</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addressing the MAQ of SEO 2023 &#8211; one of the most frequently asked questions regarding the key factors for achieving high rankings in the current year. This question often arises from my community, colleagues, and students, prompting me to craft a concise yet informative response. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before delving into the crux of this matter, I&#8217;d like to draw your attention to previously shared </span><a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/blog/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">blogs on SEO tips and strategy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that systematically outline the nuances of SEO, ensuring a comprehensive understanding while </span><a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/top-10-seo-mistakes-and-the-solutions-and-tips-by-rameez-seo/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">avoiding common SEO mistakes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To decipher Google&#8217;s primary focus and evaluation criteria for webpages in 2023, a retrospective analysis of the last three years&#8217; algorithm updates is crucial. These updates have consistently highlighted User-Experience, Speed, and Precise Answers as pivotal factors. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The essence of Google&#8217;s perspective lies in favoring content that demonstrates user-centricity, expertise, and experience, as this garners the top spots in search results. Over recent years, Google&#8217;s concerted endeavors to comprehend content deeply, coupled with the application of AI to provide refined responses to user queries, have remained central. The BERT update exemplified this effort, enhancing understanding, while the recent shift from EAT (experience, authority, and trust) to EEAT (Experience, EXPERTISE, Authority, and Trust) underscores Google&#8217;s emphasis on content quality.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Certainly! Google EEAT stands for &#8220;Experience, EXPERTISE, Authority, and Trust.&#8221; It&#8217;s an extension of the previously used EAT framework, which stands for &#8220;Experience, Authority, and Trust.&#8221; These factors are crucial considerations that Google takes into account when evaluating the quality and relevance of web content for ranking purposes.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what each component of EEAT entails:</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> *Experience:* This refers to the overall user experience provided by a webpage. Google assesses factors such as page layout, design, navigation, and usability. Websites that offer a positive and user-friendly experience are more likely to be favored by Google&#8217;s algorithms.</span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="2">
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> *EXPERTISE:* This is a key enhancement in the EEAT framework. It emphasizes the importance of content created by subject matter experts or individuals with deep knowledge and authority in a particular field. Google aims to prioritize content that demonstrates a high level of expertise and knowledge, ensuring that users receive accurate and valuable information.</span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="3">
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> *Authority:* Similar to the previous EAT concept, authority refers to the credibility and reputation of the content creator, website, or brand. Google looks for signals that indicate the authoritativeness of the content, such as backlinks from reputable sources and endorsements from recognized experts.</span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="4">
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> *Trust:* Trustworthiness is another crucial factor. Google wants to ensure that the information provided is reliable and accurate. Signals of trustworthiness include transparent sourcing, citations, and verifiable information. Websites that prioritize accuracy and honesty in their content are more likely to gain trust from both users and search engines.</span></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Incorporating the EEAT framework into your content creation strategy involves crafting high-quality, informative, and accurate content that reflects the expertise and authority of the subject matter. It also emphasizes the importance of delivering a positive user experience and maintaining trust with your audience.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By focusing on the EEAT factors, you can align your content with Google&#8217;s evolving ranking criteria and enhance your chances of achieving higher search engine rankings.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Promised insight into the most significant factors for 2023 necessitates acknowledging the paramount role of the EEAT framework. Crafting content while adhering to these factors lays a robust foundation for maintaining or enhancing website and blog rankings. It&#8217;s important to remember that adhering to existing guidelines for On-Page, Off-Page, Speed, and Technical SEO remains indispensable.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In essence, this article aspires to guide you in not only understanding but also implementing strategies to elevate your webpage, website, and blog rankings. If you&#8217;re eager to delve deeper, I invite you to consider enrolling in the </span><a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/seo-training-in-karachi/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">SEO Mastery Course</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – a platform that offers comprehensive SEO education, enabling you to master the intricacies of this ever-evolving field.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In conclusion, the pursuit of ranking supremacy in SEO 2023 hinges on crafting content that encapsulates the essence of EEAT, thereby ensuring your digital presence stands strong amidst the ever-shifting SEO landscape.</span></p>

		<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Google&#8217;s July 26th 2021 Algorithm Update On Link Spam Explained!</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google rolled out its Link Spam Algorithm on July 26, 2021. This is the latest algorithm update from the search engine giant that&#8217;s is aimed to weed out low-quality and poorly performing websites, which have been using Link Spam to access higher <a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/5-recommendations-to-improve-search-engine-rankings/">search engine rankings</a>.<br />
According to the officials from Google, the Link Spam update is global and language agnostic. This simply means that websites worldwide and in all languages will be affected by the update.<br />
As previously experienced, the most significant impact from the update was felt by hundreds and thousands of websites across the world, which saw a substantial drop in the ranking (even removal from search engine results). If you, too, have experienced a drastic lowering of ranking and reduced traffic on your website, your website may have been hit by the Google Link Spam Algorithm update.<br />
Google hasn&#8217;t yet given out any numbers regarding the percentage of websites that are hit by the algorithm update.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Google&#8217;s Link Spam Algorithm Update – Words from the Officials!</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the tech giant, the latest algorithm update is part of the company&#8217;s continuous efforts to improve the quality and credibility of the search results. The &#8220;Link Spam Update&#8221; is the latest arsenal with Google, with which it will be fighting the spam links.<br />
According to the officials, the latest Link Spam Update is much more rigorous and effective in locating and nullifying spam links across websites of all languages. This means that any website that has been involved in the Link Spam will be hit by the update resulting in a drastic reduction in ranking and lowered traffic; after the links are reassessed by the algorithms.<br />
Google has consistently improved its algorithms in its efforts to enhance its search results against spam link-building schemes. This latest algorithm update from the tech giant is just another critical reminder for online businesses not to adopt spam techniques to achieve higher rankings, which may cause significant damage in the longer run.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Algorithm Updates Continue</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The latest July update for Google Search Engine Algorithm follows a stressful period for SEO professionals and digital marketers. That&#8217;s because we have seen some back to back updated since the start of June 2021, including;<br />
&#8211; June 2, 2021 – Google&#8217;s broad core update<br />
&#8211; June 15, 2021 – Google&#8217;s page experience update<br />
&#8211; June 24, 2021 – Google&#8217;s anti-spam update<br />
&#8211; July 01, 2021 – Google&#8217;s broad core update</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Is link building dead &#8211; What does Link Spam Algorithm Update means for online businesses?</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a leading SEO agency in Pakistan, we have seen hundreds of competitors&#8217; websites falling prey to the Link Spam Update since its roll-out in July. A simple pattern that was followed in all of these sites was the use of a poor link-building strategy to create a massive number of poor-quality links to manipulate rankings.<br />
Now, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that link building is dead. Instead, we believe that link building is more relevant and influential today than it ever has been. The only problem is a strategy that an SEO agency adopts to acquire those links. Google has persistently encouraged website owners to focus on the quality of links rather than quantity. The latest Link Spam Update just reinforces Google&#8217;s long-standing goal of locating spam link-building strategies and penalizing the websites that link to or from low-quality sites.<br />
Thereby, if you are working with an <a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/seo-services-karachi/">SEO provider</a>, ensure that the agency understands the concept of link-building strategy and how they can leverage quality links for higher rankings. Don&#8217;t be shy to hold a conversation with the agency and discuss tactics to follow in the future.<br />
If you aren&#8217;t working with a professional SEO agency and have experienced a drastic reduction in traffic and ranking, perhaps your website has been hit by the Link Spam Update. In this regard, we advise you to consult a professional agency that can review your website&#8217;s backlink profile to identify all low-ranking links and remove them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been abuzz about the new Google search console tools for quite some time now. Last year Google; the largest search engine decided to revamp its decades&#8217; old search console tools by transitioning to new tools slowly throughout 2018.</p>
<p><strong>But, why SEOs are frustrated over new Search Console Tool</strong></p>
<p>Well, there are various reasons why SEO professionals are frustrated over new search Console Tools, mainly because of erroneous reports and incomplete tools. Now, to be able to understand the full spectrum for SEOs frustration with the Google’s new search console, we will have to see the difference between the two consoles and then we will see things that have gone wrong in the new console.</p>
<p><strong>The Old Search Console:</strong></p>
<p>The legacy older version of search console enable users an easy and interactive interface to keep a watchful eye for their website’s search performance report. Apart from offering insightful search performance reports, the old console also offered users easy and quick recognition and correction of technical issues, which helped websites to avoid falling into any major problem.</p>
<p>If you haven’t used the old console, it offered a quick and easy view of all technical and analytical parameters like total clicks, impressions, click through rates (CTRs) and others stacked on top of each other and just a single click away. Whereas, you would need to filter results for the country, device, search query, etc. which displayed one at a time were.</p>
<p><strong><em>Ok, so how does the new console change this?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>The New Search Console:</strong></p>
<p>Honestly, Google for some reason decided not to revamp or revise the old search console tools, rather it decided to go with totally new tools from the scratch, with the apparent purpose to offer a more in-depth and insightful user experience. The new tools also focused to offer quick identification and fixation of potential problems through webmaster tools. Moreover, the new console also offers multiple variables being displayed at one time so you don’t have to filter results one at a time. Now, all of these sounds pretty amazing (ask any <a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/">SEO expert</a> and they will love what we have written so far). However, there have been quite a few problems that have been going on around the new Google search engine console tools and that’s one reason why SEO companies are getting frustrated with these new tools.</p>
<p><strong>So, what are some of the issues faced by SEO companies with a new Google Search Console?</strong></p>
<p>To start off, for some reason, Google decided to go ahead with the new console tools anyway; without getting bugs fixed. And while we are already well into 2019, the new console still carries few broken/incomplete tools.</p>
<p>Many website owners and SEO companies alike have been complaining about faulty/inaccurate product report in search console. Whereas, the new Data Analytics Tools is no way near the older tools, which was a formidable tool and an essential tool for all website owners and SEO companies alike. One big reason companies are getting highly anxious and frustrated with new Google Search engine console is the inability to get key analytics like impressions, CTR, clicks, and others at a time through the new console, previously this was easily accessible.</p>
<p>To make things worse, SEO companies have been complaining of inaccurate error reporting and lastly, they gave up on alternative site verification methods, which simply add to the panic and chaos among website owners and SEO community and surely a frustrating aspect; something you don’t expect from Google.</p>
<p>I will be adding more bugs and fixes in the coming days, subscribe to newsletter to get updates.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have heard that user-experience is been the most vital part of every successful SEO campaign but many SEO&#8217;s don&#8217;t always pay serious attention to it, but this time you have to focus on user-experience either it&#8217;s related to your mobile website or main navigation or website speed. Many of us agree that Google has put significant efforts to change the SEO game in last 5 years and most of its algorithm changes was related to user-experience including <a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/hummingbird-most-used-word-after-not-provided-data-in-search-market/">hummingbird</a>, pigeon, mobile-geddon, Amplified mobile pages (AMP), website security and latest &#8220;Machine Learning&#8221; however it is under process and Google has not started its campaign to convert your structure to comply with this beast. All these algorithm changes are made to enhance user&#8217;s experience on Google and off-course on the web, most do agree!</p>
<p><strong>So what&#8217;s the game now?</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s the question you got in your mind now? Ahn alright, I will explain.</p>
<h2><strong>Design</strong></h2>
<p>A great design consists of three things &#8220;Responsive, Intuitive and Inviting&#8221;. Again it&#8217;s for user and bots both not for search engine only.</p>
<p>If you notice all big names don&#8217;t change their web design and structure but keep enhancing their process to make it more useful and easier for the user&#8217;s to interact. It&#8217;s because they invested a lot to identify what work best for them and for the users and not want to lose their users by anyway.</p>
<h2><strong>Content Creation and Readability</strong></h2>
<p>Creating SEO optimized, keyword rich content has been a practice for most of the SEO&#8217;s off-course it helps you increase your page&#8217;s relevance and can provide you boost in rankings but again what happens if you achieved higher rankings but see high &#8220;bounce rate&#8221; on those pages? How will you translate that then?</p>
<p><em>Oh Man, I forgot to create content according to my user&#8217;s interest.</em></p>
<p>And you will notice due to that you are losing ranks on many other pages as well due to high bounce created by 1 particular page that contributed high chunk in average bounce rate of your website.</p>
<p>So a good design and great content that is written according to your audience&#8217;s interest help you maintain your bounce rate and other important metrics that google accounts in ranking a web page.</p>
<p>Off-course only this doesn&#8217;t explain the whole user-experience there is the lot more to improve a website&#8217;s UX and SEO.</p>
<p><strong>Performance</strong></p>
<p>Website performance is another important part of user experience and SEO, higher page load time kills all your efforts like a study conducted by Google says a user will most likely exit a web page if it doesn&#8217;t respond it 8 seconds.</p>
<p>Optimizing performance is very very important for any website because Google is not the only one here to decide but it directly involves a user to take the decision. Make sure, your website loads faster by eliminating any render-blocking scripts, optimizing your images and HTML code.</p>
<p><strong>Key Metrics to monitor</strong></p>
<p>IIt takes a long time to revisit on your website&#8217;s content strategy and optimizing performance to connect UX with your <a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/user-experience-key-factor-for-winning-seo-strategy-in-2017/">SEO Strategy</a>. Monitoring the user behavior is the next step to make sure it is working for you or not. Most important factors to measure the performance of your user experience and SEO:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bounce rate</li>
<li>Avg. page/ session</li>
<li>Time on site</li>
<li>Goal/e-commerce conversion rate</li>
<li>Returning visitors</li>
</ul>
<p>Let&#8217;s wait for 15 days or so to compare the previous date with the new one to see the difference, remember you must create customized reports to compare performance by devices not you have to work separately for mobile and desktop site.<br />
<strong>Conclusion of this whole story is</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;SEO should live within and be a part of the user-experience&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I welcome and appreciate any comments, suggestions, additions and queries 🙂</p>

<h2><strong>Content marketing (The King Maker):</strong></h2>
<blockquote><p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-6392 aligncenter" src="https://rameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/content-is-king-300x146.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="300" srcset="https://rameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/content-is-king-300x146.jpg.webp 300w, https://rameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/content-is-king-768x374.jpg.webp 768w, https://rameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/content-is-king-789x384.jpg.webp 789w" sizes="(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></p>
<p>It was stated by &#8220;Bill Gates in January, 1996 in his essay!</p></blockquote>
<p>Content has remained one of the most powerful ammo for all aspects of digital marketing since early days. The efficacy of content still remains valid and high to-date with search engines looking for rich, informative and engaging content on websites.</p>
<p>What though has changed is the writing practices of contents. Earlier contents were written around some specific keywords with little regard to relevant information. Today, a rich and effective content needs to incorporate long tail keywords tactically placed in between informative material with a sound call to action.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s what the content lookalike in digital marketing campaigns of 2017:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Live streams have been on the rise in terms of popularity. Facebook live, snapchat, YouTube Live and many other social media platforms are offering live streaming modes to attract viewers. These live channels present easy to use and interactive platforms for hosting of many interesting events, infographics, briefings and much more content related services.</li>
<li>B2B business campaigns are on the rise as companies realize the efficacy and far reaching potential of newsletters and email marketing. 2017 is perhaps the best time to excel your email marketing campaigns through newsletters and customized email contents. Stats have shown the increased open rates for emails and a rich and targeted content strategy can manifold its efficacy for business growth and building relations.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, if you are looking to take your site to the top of Search Engine ranking, it is highly advice to invest considerable in content development. Lookout for any rubbish content present at your site (this will take you deep down in case you don’t remove in the brink of time) and replace it with fresh, engaging and lively content now.</p>
<h2><strong>Search Engine Optimization (Settling the odds straight)</strong></h2>

It is certainly one of the most sacred and long terms part of any digital marketing campaign that can’t be ignored. Search Engine Optimization is actually a combination of different techniques that together create a formidable foundation for organic ranking of websites over search engines (Google being the prime focus for all online businesses). It simply can be referred to as the marketing tool of modern world!</p>
<p>Traditionally, SEO practices have been revolving around the strategy to ensure high rankings of few keywords for a website. This was primarily achieved by locating few significant keywords and then rigorously marketing them through content marketing of link building. However, the role of SEO in digital marketing campaigns of 2017 has changed completely. Today, SEO is a multi-faceted technique that supports the overall digital marketing strategy using several tools and techniques.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The growth of mobile phones has become undeniable. The Google mobile-friendly algorithm update of April 2015 set off a firestorm of activity as sites struggled at the last minute to ensure that their pages were compatible with mobile.</p>
<p>Due to the skyrocketing growth in mobile, google emphasized webmasters to have mobile compatible websites in 2015 and we witnessed website owners struggled at the last moment to ensure that their website pages were mobile compatible and responsive to any kind of mobile device. Due to this reason almost 5 million websites adopted mobile compatibility, as I explained <a href="https://rameezulhaq.com/finally-google-has-rolled-out-mobilegeddon-mobile-friendly-update-on-21st-april-2015/">earlier in my last article</a>.</p>
<p>According to a marketing company, hubspot.com, an average of  12 billion google searches are conducted each month in the United states. This indicates that SEO will be more important than any other marketing channel to get targeted traffic, gain more visibility and develop brand reputation that every business needs to succeed. There is no point spending on content such as creative infographics if it is not visible to the audience when they search something related to your business.</p>
<p>In the past 2 years, after knowing that more than 50% people search local businesses on their smartphones and more than 65% of those searches coverts to a purchase, Marketers realized the value of Mobile SEO and adopted mobile responsive websites for better search visibility.</p>
<h2>Why Mobile SEO is more important in 2016 than it was in the past?</h2>
<p>In 2016, Mr. Google not only wants you to have mobile compatible web pages, but also it should provide excellent user-experience as mobile searches have already surpassed the desktop searches in 2015. Google has asked webmasters to configure the website for AMP (<a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6340290?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">accelerated mobile pages</a>) AMP will be another ranking signal in 2016 or in early 2017, It will also benefit webmaster in saving their bandwidth. Google has also announced that they are going to be boosting the effects of the mobile-friendly algorithm they launched back on April 21, 2015 named Mobilegeddon.</p>
<p>Google said the update will roll out in “beginning in May,” and it “increases the effect of the [mobile-friendly] ranking signal.”</p>
<p>Tip: If your website is already mobile compatible then you just need to monitor how your visitors behave with your website content and what parts are causing them exit.</p>
<h2><strong>The Importance Of Mobile For A Business In Modern Culture</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6155 size-full" src="https://rama.mrameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Mobile-Stats.png" alt="Mobile Stats" width="750" height="455" srcset="https://rameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Mobile-Stats.png 750w, https://rameezulhaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Mobile-Stats-300x182.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />The worldwide popularity of online shopping on mobile devices is increasing tremendously with the increasing growth of mobile marketing itself.</p>
<p>Mobile growth will continue to strengthen as we head to 2016, Analysts expect more than 90% market penetration of smartphones in the US and the UK by 2016, this indicates that people will connect a business through their smartphones to learn about a brand and considering doing business with it.</p>
<p>Mobile commerce has proved to be faster than what was predicted in 2012 to 2016, It was predicted by an analyst that mobile commerce will grow by 42% in the next 4 years while Mobile commerce has beat the e-commerce in last year 2015 by showing growth of more than 52%. In Markets like Pakistan Mobile commerce rapidly increased by more than 350%  in just 2 years after 3G/4G announcement on April 23, 2014. Customers are doing online shopping irrespective of their location and time using their smartphones.</p>
<p>Mobile commerce is increasing 300 times faster than e-commerce and is expected to show growth of 42 percent between 2013 and 2016. Customers are using their smartphones to make purchases whenever and wherever they might be.</p>
