What Strategies Do SEO Experts Use To Drive Traffic?
Over the past few years, marketers have made search engine optimisation, or SEO, a top focus. It's simple to see why: greater search engine ranks translate into more leads, traffic, sales, and conversions. But just how does it operate? How might incorporating keywords into different aspects of your website increase the likelihood that it will rank well in search results? The best SEO services in Lahore are designed to improve your brand's online presence and increase targeted visitors.
A positive user experience will boost SEO as well as conversion rates. Google takes into account several accessibility elements in addition to site performance and navigation. Although benchmarks vary over time, it's a good practice to make sure your website loads in three seconds or less. Your internet search ranking will suffer if you go above this limit. A slow-loading page can also soon irritate users, who will probably depart in search of a speedier one.
An SEO expert may assist in drawing in customers who are actually interested in the goods or services being supplied by concentrating on keywords with considerable value and smart placement. Additionally, by creating captivating keyword descriptions and titles, SEO experts increase click-through rates, which may eventually result in increased client conversion rates.
After a page is crawled, it is examined and added to the search engine's index, which is a sizable library of online material. Retrieved pages may be displayed in search results when visitors type relevant queries.
To enhance indexing: Make sure the headlines on each page are clear and packed with keywords.
For improved comprehension, use image alt text and Meta tags.
Steer clear of duplicate material that might confuse search engines.
Look for problems with index coverage in Google Search Console.
One of the most important factors in determining the ranks of your website are keywords, which are terms that are frequently looked for on Google, Bing, etc. Your pages will eventually move up the leaderboards if you use the appropriate number of keywords in the appropriate locations.
Semrush is a go-to tool for analysing SEO competitors. Their tool may save you a great deal of time and make the procedure quite simple. These rival websites are those that target audiences and rank for comparable keywords to yours. You may review all of your rivals and get more detailed information if you click the 'View all…' option. You may find out how many terms you share with each website by looking at the 'Common Keywords' section. You ought to have at least four or five major organic competitors by the time you finish this step.
Moving on to those more technical aspects, building backlinks is another essential component of SEO effectiveness. In addition to helping you acquire domain authority, this also directly increases the likelihood that visitors will click through to your internet presence if it is listed on other trustworthy domains.
Link-building is the general term for this process, and while you can just approach other websites to exchange links—quid pro quo—there are several other things you can do to expedite it: Blogging as a guest.
Testimonials.
Responding to queries on Quora and other websites.
Producing information that can be shared, including infographics and movies.
The data-driven analysis and conclusions that guide your plan are an additional advantage of hiring an SEO consultant. Consultants track customer behaviour and conversion rates by utilising technologies such as Google Analytics to analyse performance statistics. This data helps them to alter techniques as required, ensuring that your SEO efforts consistently improve and respond to trends.
Websites are evaluated by the firm they maintain, much like individuals. The number of distinct domain names that link back to your website, which shows how many site owners are using your material in their own, determines your website's ranking.
One of the best ways to expand your audience and increase website traffic is by guest blogging. Seize every chance to create content for a different website.
Links pointing to your website function as 'votes' for the calibre and substance of your site. It is therefore worthwhile to invest some effort in obtaining them. Search for chances to establish connections that may ultimately lead to links, even if you should never ask another website owner to just link to you.
Finally, an SEO consultant offers a cost-effective marketing option. SEO yields long-lasting, sustainable effects, in contrast to transient sponsored advertisements. Businesses may get long-term exposure and a greater return for their investments with a well-thought-out SEO strategy as opposed to short-term advertising strategies.
As was mentioned, there are several tools available to assist you in auditing and improving your website. However, you may also examine the techno graphic data to learn more about the technologies that other businesses use most frequently if you want to differentiate yourself from your rivals.

Google says to appeal online search antitrust ruling
Google said Saturday it will appeal a ruling against it for anti-competitive practices in online search, a day after urging a US judge to reject the suggestion it spin off its Chrome browser. "We will wait for the Court's opinion. And we still strongly believe the Court's original decision was wrong, and look forward to our eventual appeal," the tech giant wrote on X. Google was found guilty in the summer of 2024 of illegal practices to establish and maintain its monopoly in online search by a federal judge in Washington. The Justice Department is now demanding remedies that could transform the digital landscape: Google's divestiture from its Chrome browser and a ban on entering exclusivity agreements with smartphone manufacturers to install the search engine by default. It is also asking that the California-based company be forced to share the data used to produce search results on Chrome. The department's proposal "reserves the right for the government to decide who gets Google users' data. Not the Court," Google said Saturday. "While we heard a lot about how the remedies would help various well-funded competitors (w/ repeated references to Bing), we heard very little about how all this helps consumers," Google added, referring to the Microsoft-owned search engine. The firm has proposed much more limited measures, including giving phone manufacturers the possibility to pre-install its Google Play app store but not Chrome or the search engine. The Friday hearing devoted to arguments marked the end of the trial to determine Google's penalty. The judge's decision is expected by August. juj/vla/bjt/mlm

These stories could change how you feel about AI
Here's a selection of recent headlines about artificial intelligence, picked more or less at random: For some recent graduates, the AI job apocalypse may already be here Artificial intelligence threatens to raid the water reserves of Europe's driest regions Top AI CEO foresees white-collar bloodbath Okay, not exactly at random — I did look for more doomy-sounding headlines. But they weren't hard to find. That's because numerous studies indicate that negative or fear-framed coverage of AI in mainstream media tends to outnumber positive framings. And to be clear, there are good reasons for that! From disinformation to cyberwarfare to autonomous weapons to massive job loss to the actual, flat-out end of the world (shameless plug of my book here), there are a lot of things that could go very, very wrong with AI. But as in so many other areas, the emphasis on the negative in artificial intelligence risks overshadowing what could go right — both in the future as this technology continues to develop and right now. As a corrective (and maybe just to ingratiate myself to our potential future robot overlords), here's a roundup of one way in which AI is already making a positive difference in three important fields. Whenever anyone asks me about an unquestionably good use of AI, I point to one thing: AlphaFold. After all, how many other AI models have won their creators an actual Nobel Prize? AlphaFold, which was developed by the Google-owned AI company DeepMind, is an AI model that predicts the 3D structures of proteins based solely on their amino acid sequences. That's important because scientists need to predict the shape of protein to better understand how it might function and how it might be used in products like drugs. That's known as the 'protein-folding problem' — and it was a problem because while human researchers could eventually figure out the structure of a protein, it would often take them years of laborious work in the lab to do so. AlphaFold, through machine-learning methods I couldn't explain to you if I tried, can make predictions in as little as five seconds, with accuracy that is almost as good as gold-standard experimental methods. By speeding up a basic part of biomedical research, AlphaFold has already managed to meaningfully accelerate drug development in everything from Huntington's disease to antibiotic resistance. And Google DeepMind's decision last year to open source AlphaFold3, its most advanced model, for non-commercial academic use has greatly expanded the number of researchers who can take advantage of it. You wouldn't know it from watching medical dramas like The Pitt, but doctors spend a lot of time doing paperwork — two hours of it for every one hour they actually spend with a patient, by one count. Finding a way to cut down that time could free up doctors to do actual medicine and help stem the problem of burnout. That's where AI is already making a difference. As the Wall Street Journal reported this week, health care systems across the country are employing 'AI scribes' — systems that automatically capture doctor-patient discussions, update medical records, and generally automate as much as possible around the documentation of a medical interaction. In one pilot study employing AI scribes from Microsoft and a startup called Abridge, doctors cut back daily documentation time from 90 minutes to under 30 minutes. Not only do ambient-listening AI products free doctors from much of the need to make manual notes, but they can eventually connect new data from a doctor-patient interaction with existing medical records and ensure connections and insights on care don't fall between the cracks. 'I see it being able to provide insights about the patient that the human mind just can't do in a reasonable time,' Dr. Lance Owens, regional chief medical information officer at University of Michigan Health, told the Journal. A timely warning about a natural disaster can mean the difference between life and death, especially in already vulnerable poor countries. That is why Google Flood Hub is so important. An open-access, AI-driven river-flood early warning system, Flood Hub provides seven-day flood forecasts for 700 million people in 100 countries. It works by marrying a global hydrology model that can forecast river levels even in basins that lack physical flood gauges with an inundation model that converts those predicted levels into high-resolution flood maps. This allows villagers to see exactly what roads or fields might end up underwater. Flood Hub, to my mind, is one of the clearest examples of how AI can be used for good for those who need it most. Though many rich countries like the US are included in Flood Hub, they mostly already have infrastructure in place to forecast the effects of extreme weather. (Unless, of course, we cut it all from the budget.) But many poor countries lack those capabilities. AI's ability to drastically reduce the labor and cost of such forecasts has made it possible to extend those lifesaving capabilities to those who need it most. One more cool thing: The NGO GiveDirectly — which provides direct cash payments to the global poor — has experimented with using Flood Hub warnings to send families hundreds of dollars in cash aid days before an expected flood to help themselves prepare for the worst. As the threat of extreme weather grows, thanks to climate change and population movement, this is the kind of cutting-edge philanthropy. Even what seems to be the best applications for AI can come with their drawbacks. The same kind of AI technology that allows AlphaFold to help speed drug development could conceivably be used one day to more rapidly design bioweapons. AI scribes in medicine raise questions about patient confidentiality and the risk of hacking. And while it's hard to find fault in an AI system that can help warn poor people about natural disasters, the lack of access to the internet in the poorest countries can limit the value of those warnings — and there's not much AI can do to change that. But with the headlines around AI leaning so apocalyptic, it's easy to overlook the tangible benefits AI already delivers. Ultimately AI is a tool. A powerful tool, but a tool nonetheless. And like any tool, what it will do — bad and good — will be determined by how we use it. A version of this story originally appeared in the Good News newsletter. Sign up here!

Google Photos Just Got A Huge AI-Powered Upgrade And Easier Sharing
Google Photos has just turned ten years old, and the company is marking the occasion with a raft of powerful new features. New AI-powered editor: Perhaps the most significant upgrade is Google's new editor, which brings together a range of AI-powered functions, some of which were previously available only to Pixel 9-series owners. These include Auto Frame, which presents different ways to crop your photos, automatically using generative fill where necessary to extend the image to fit the required shape, and Reimagine, which lets you add creative new elements to your pictures by describing them with text prompts. Additionally, a new AI Enhance feature provides a one-tap AI-powered edit that deploys multiple tools to generate three new versions of your image, from which you can then select your favorite. The editor's user interface has also undergone a radical redesign, which may take a little getting used to, but is designed to make editing more intuitive by suggesting the best edits for you. Draw around an object to select it, and Google Photos will automatically display the tools most relevant to your selection. The new Google Photos editor will start rolling out in June for Android 8 and higher, with iOS support following later this year. Share albums with QR codes: Google is making it easier to create shared albums by generating shareable QR codes that anyone can scan to join. Google suggests printing them out to share at events, so that anyone present can view or add photos to your group album simply by scanning the QR code. This addition reduces the effort required to share albums, as there is no longer a need to send links or invitations to multiple recipients manually. The new QR code album sharing feature has now started rolling out. I can already see it in my Google Photos Android app, but not so far via on the Web. The feature also works for Google's automatically generated Moments, which can now be shared in precisely the same way. You can see the feature in action in this Android Authority video, where it was discovered last month prior to its release. The origins of Google Photos can be traced back much farther than ten years, starting with Picasa Web Albums in 2006 (the eagle-eyed among you might spot the Picasa logo rolling across the screen in Google's promotional video below). Google then migrated its online photo service to Google+ Photos in 2011 before the birth of Google Photos in 2015, which tempted new users to sign up by offering unlimited free High-Quality photo storage — until Google eventually rescinded this offer in 2021. You can read more about Google Photos' 10th anniversary, along with helpful tips and tricks, at the Google Photos blog. Follow @paul_monckton on Instagram.
