This post is very interesting! Glad to know that less is still more this year. Thanks for sharing Stephen!
I think better UX is definitely a big SEO factor especially this year. UX and SEO should go well together.
Hi Rose, SEO is a part of user experience. One cannot ignore search engine optimization for a brand’s success. One cannot simply attract the traffic by implementing numerous SEO strategies. While one has in mind to drive traffic to the site, it’s necessary to enhance the users’ experience by connecting them in terms of design, content or even context, we need to think the way users do or the way they want to perceive things. It is important to understand users and manage their expectations through UX. And, it can be achieved if we understand their needs. Only then it gets better and works in true sense. Simultaneously, calling an alliance for SEO and user experience won’t be wrong here. There are clear benefits when you align SEO and UX while building your site. I hope, as you said, this union really goes well.
