What is vertical search optimization or VSO?

From an interactive and transactional perspective, search is the fundamental digital discovery activity. People input text or voice to search, find alternatives, explore, and then make decisions. Traditional or horizontal search engines report billions of queries per day and in excess of 2 trillion queries worldwide per year. Bloomberg reports that more than 48% of shoppers start their search at Amazon, while 35% now start shopping searches at traditional search engines. Despite that traditional Search continues to be the largest trackable channel with 2017 BrightEdge research showing that sites average 51% of traffic from Organic Search. Vertical search is the indexing and exposition of content focused in a site, category, or industry. Travel, restaurants, medical, fashion, entertainment, news, car, jobs, and photography sites are all examples of vertical sites with vertical search. Mobile apps are also vertical experiences. Shopping sites are rather vertical to the degree that they specialize in the product selection and pricing they offer. Read more on our take on vertical search engines in this POV.

As consumers move along the customer journey, they use horizontal and vertical sites and apps to zero in on what they are looking for and take action. One of the most common elements of all sites is internal site search. Nearly every site offers internal search, and those that don't are likely creating dissatisfaction for their user that will cause them to bounce off the site when they cannot easily locate what they are looking for. How are you and your marketing team preparing to address this broadening of search and apply the well-honed traditional search optimization skills to these diversifying vertical channels where your customers are increasingly initiating and completing customer journeys?

Are traditional searches decreasing?

No, overall searches are increasing. The proportion of horizontal desktop computer searches is dropping in favor of mobile searches, app searches, and vertical searches. While searching is fundamental, large, and significant, people now spend more than 20% of all digital time on social media, and 80% of that occurs on mobile devices and within native mobile apps, according to Business Insider. The daily query volume in Facebook has reportedly reached about half that of Google. Facebook is both a vertical and horizontal search engine, meaning that people look for friends in Facebook and have also started to look for general topics, news, and products. Facebook is now the top referrer to content publishers, according to Parse.ly. Consider the volume of vertical searches on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Pinterest, Reddit, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Zillow, Consumer Reports, the App Store, Google Play,  voice queries on digital assistants, shopping searches on the Amazon site and app and the eBay site and app, and travel searches on Expedia, Travelocity, and Kayak. Salesforce, Dropbox, and Box are important internal and channel search engines for B2B companies and networks. Think about Google as multiple vertical search engines as displayed in the different SERP layouts with different optimization parameters and requirements: YouTube for video, Google Images, Google Local, Google News, Google Shopping, and Google Play for apps. Site search across billions of sites, including Wikipedia, Craigslist, and WebMD, is generating hundreds of billions of queries daily. In some cases, regular users might find the user-generated content and reviews more relevant and trustworthy than content controlled by a single corporation.

Is site search on your own site vertical search and can you do VSO on it?

Yes, your own site search is a vertical search engine because it it looks for answers within one domain. Most content management systems, like WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla include free site search modules. The modules allow you to add weighting to the basic matching criteria of Title, h1, meta description, and text. More sophisticated site search modules can be purchased for small amounts, like $29-$800 a month and run on these CMSs. Google used to make a product called Google Search Appliance, but they have discontinued it. You can find 10 site search alternatives in this recent blog post. These paid alternatives will give you more control of the crawl and the algorithm and help you understand how search engines work. Optimizing your own site for SEO and site search will leverage into any vertical environment where you can edit the pages.

What do vertical and horizontal search on all of these sites have in common?

When the vertical alternative has a large app installed base, is more convenient, and is a trustworthy brand that provides valuable answers with low friction and high relevance, users will go directly there and engage. Content in vertical search needs to be discoverable, made visible, and matched to user intent, just like traditional Search. Every site's search functionality is based on an algorithm. No search algorithm in the world is as sophisticated as Google, so the others should be easier to figure out what criteria they use to rank. BrightEdge has explored in other blog posts the ranking criteria and VSO effort of YouTube, Pinterst, Amazon, and Google Images and can provide some guidance. If the vertical sites do not enable direct page management, they likely enable data feeds through an API. Optimizing a data feed is analagous to optimizing a page it is just deconstructed into content, fields, and tags.

Sean Kainec of Comcast, speaking at the BrightEdge Share Insights Tour in New York suggested that we expand the meaning of SEO from Search Engine Optimization to Site Experience Optimization to lead the way to capturing the emerging opportunities across the sites and search engines used in the customer journey.

How do you do VSO?

Successful VSO is similar to SEO. First, you need to determine if the site enables users to build and manage original content. Sites like Amazon, eBay, Pinterest, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Facebook, Wikipedia, and Reddit do. Build out pages for those sites that are focused, authoritative, attractive, and include the kind of images and videos that users might like. Invest time in metatags and descriptions. In all content areas exceed the development of your competitors, which means better written and more text, higher quality and better images, helpful videos, and reviews or Likes where applicable. These all will apply to your Yelp page for example. It will be the SEO's job to help all the marketers and commerce colleagues understand the VSO requirements of the relevant sites. Businesses should make sure the NAP, or name address, and phone, are correct and consistent in all horizontal and vertical search locations.

Let’s look at what skills are common to horizontal and vertical search:

  1. Analyzing consumer intent and selecting targeted topics
  2. Content creation, including compelling headline and authoritative body copy
  3. Page markup and metadata
  4. Applying clear and persuasive page titles and headlines
  5. Site experience management
  6. Proper use of images and videos
  7. Integration through APIs and extraction of XML feeds
  8. Use of next-step internal links and CTAs
  9. Technical management and page load time
  10. Schema and structured data

How should SEOs approach the evolving vertical search (VSO) landscape?

  1. Invest directly to maintain a presence in vertical and social sites relevant to your audience, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn/Slideshare, Amazon, Yelp, and Wikipedia
  2. Be sure to optimize your content and for mobile experience on the vertical site
  3. Always work to improve page load speed and transaction speed, especially on mobile, e.g., don't upload non-optimized images
  4. Manage the social signals and Open Graph fields and tagging
  5. Consider whether a mobile app is necessary for your audience
  6. Master App Store and Google Play optimization if you have an app
  7. Master site search and continually enhance the results you display
  8. Enhance your ability to drive positive reviews from your customers
  9. Start to invest in structured data that can communicate to crawlers regardless of device type and form factors
  10. Develop as many integrations with vertical search and shopping sites and apps as makes sense for your business

Should you increase focus on and investment in vertical search engines?

Yes. SEO skills are now needed in more search engines and sites than ever. Use the topic of vertical search and VSO to start elevating all SEO work within your organization. Make a compelling case to management to invest in the resources and people needed to make sure your company is represented and gets a proper foothold in the rapidly expanding vertical search landscape to support customers finding you across the sites they use in their customer journeys.

Google検索結果ページで複数のクイックアンサーの表示を開始:SEOへの影響は?【Mark Aspillera 2018年3月14日】

Googleは、特定の検索クエリにおいて検索結果ページで複数のクイックアンサーを表示し始めました。この新たな変化によって、クイックアンサーやスニペット対策の最適化作業にどのような影響が出るか考えていきたいと思います。

Googleが発信するウェブマスターブログであるThe Keyword1月に投稿されたある記事では、同社がこれまでクイックアンサー を1つの検索結果ページに複数個表示し始めることが紹介されました。このブログ記事では、以下のような内容が記載されています。

「近日導入するフォーマットでは、ユーザーが元々検索した内容に関連のある強調スニペット(クイックアンサー)を複数個同時に表示することによって、ユーザーが情報を見つけやすくすることを目指して設計されています。複数個の強調スニペットを表示することによって、同じ内容を異なる表現でユーザーが検索した際に矛盾した情報が表示された場合にも、ユーザーが求める情報をユーザーが的確に見つけやすくなります。」

特定の検索結果ページにおいてクイックアンサーを複数個表示することによって、例えばオーソリティー的にまとまった答えが1つあるわけではなく、答えとなる可能性が複数存在する状況において、検索を実施するユーザーにより幅広い情報源を紹介することを目標としています。

当然のことながら、SEOやデジタルマーケティング分野で活躍する専門家の多くは、この新たな導入について多くの疑問を抱いていることでしょう。この導入によってランク改善を目指すプロセスに影響はあるのか?重要な検索結果ページでクイックアンサーのポジションを獲得しているサイトのクリックスルー率は下がるのか?など、様々な疑問が渦巻いているはずです。

クイックアンサーを獲得することによって、SEOにどのようなメリットがあるか?

はるか昔のことのように感じるかもしれませんが、以前SEO業界で強調スニペットの中でもとりわけクイックアンサーに関して、 SEOに利点があるかどうか意見が分かれている時期もありました。当時、クエリ形式のキーワードフレーズに対する結果としてクイックアンサーに表示されることによって、検索結果ページからサイトへのクリックスルー率(CTR)が低下する可能性について懸念されていました。Google検索結果ページ上で適切にユーザーが求める答えが説明されている場合、Googleが引用している引用元サイトにわざわざユーザーが訪れる必要がないと考えられるからです。

しかしSearchEngineLand社のGlenn Gabe氏が2015年に実施したケーススタディーによると、重要なキーワードにおいて強調スニペット内でのリスティングを失ったサイトでは、クリック数が39,000も減少したことが報告されています。また2016年に HubSpot社が発表した調査ではさらに決定的な事例が報告されました。高ボリュームのキーワードに対する検索結果ページを参照したところ、強調スニペット内のポジションを獲得したサイトでは、既にオーガニック検索結果で1位を獲得しているサイトでも、クリックスルー率が114%も増加したことがわかっています。

その他の各種強調スニペットと同様、クイックアンサーも音声検索結果において大きな役割を果たしていることがわかっています。SearchEngineLand社のDanny Sullivan氏は2016年にこの点について以下の通り述べています。

クリックのように直接的な影響を受けるわけではありませんが、Google Homeが参照した情報源となるサイトには検索を行ったユーザーとの間につながりができ、コンテンツに興味を持ったり共感したりした場合その他のコンテンツを読むよう後押しすることができます。またクイックアンサーのポジションを獲得することによって、競合他社が同じトピックに関してオーソリティー的存在になったり、ブランド化を展開したりするのを事前に阻むことができます。

現在ではこのようにクイックアンサーのポジションを獲得することは好ましいこととして意見が一致しています。それではクイックアンサーが複数個表示される場合はどうでしょうか?

複数のクイックアンサー表示によってSEOの効果に悪影響するか?

検索結果ページにクイックアンサーが複数個表示されるということを聞くと、クイックアンサーのポジションによって獲得していたCTRの増加がなくなってしまうのではないかと心配になる方も多くいらっしゃることでしょう。クイックアンサーが表示されるボックス、つまり検索結果ページの「ポジション0」にランク入りしている場合、CTRの増加量がXであると仮定すると、「ポジション-1」が追加されればCTRの増加量はXの半分になると単純計算することができます。

この段階で断定的なことを言うのはまだ時期尚早ですが、必ずしもCTRが減少するわけではないということはわかってきています。その理由について考えていきましょう。

複数のクイックアンサー表示についてGoogleの見解は?

前述の通り、とりわけクエリに対する答えが一致していない場合や矛盾した答えが共存する場合などにおいて、他の情報源や情報に対する視点を提供するための方法としてGoogleは1つの検索結果ページ上で複数のクイックアンサーを表示するに至ったわけです。

また別のブログ記事では、Googleでは、ユーザーが入力している質問に関連する可能性のあるインテント(意図)が複数あるクエリを「Multi-intent queries(複数のインテントを含むクエリ」と意図的に参照していることを明らかにしています。例えば以下の画像で紹介されているクエリ「garden needs full sun?」について見てみましょう。

example of a featured snippet box with multiple quick answers present

クエリは明確な文章で書かれていないため、Googleは検索結果ページに意味的に関連する可能性のある「what garden plants need full sun」と「what counts as full sun」の2つのクイックアンサーが「他の人はこちらも質問(People Also Ask)」ボックスと一緒に表示しています。

複数のクイックアンサー表示がCTRに悪影響しないと考えられる理由

Googleも認めている通り、1つのクエリに対して検索結果ページで複数のクイックアンサーを表示する動きはまだ実験的な段階にあるため、より多くのユーザーデータを参照可能になるまであまり具体的な予測はできません。しかし、Googleが近い将来に「複数のインテントを持つクエリ」だけでなく、さらに「ガイダンスを求めるクエリ(guidance-seeking queries)」にも対応できるようになることを目指していることは明らかになっています。「ガイダンスを求めるクエリ」には、「規模の小さいSEOツールを集める価値はあるか?(is it worth aggregating smaller SEO tools?)」のような多面的なクエリが含まれます。理論的に言うと、コスト面に注目した分析や、ITコンプライアンス、初期設定、統合の必要性など多面的な答えが検索結果ページのクイックアンサー欄に複数表示されるわけです。結果ページに表示されるこれら複数の答えは、オーガニック検索マーケティングやSEO分野において、新しく興味深い機会をもたらし、製品やサービスについて非常に具体的な質問をしている少数ながらも非常に強いインテント(意図)を持つユーザーの目にコンテンツを表示させるために役立ちます。

つまりこれらをまとめると、複数のクイックアンサーが表示されたとしても、低い位置に表示されたクイックアンサーのCTRが絶対的に減少することはないと言えます。何故ならGoogleは、様々な種類の答えをユーザーに提示することを目標としており、複数の答えの間で競争を促すことを目的としているわけではないからです。その一方で、ランク入りを果たしている自社サイトのコンテンツの中で、クエリに対する答えとなる箇所の最適化にさらに重点を置くことが必要になります。最適化に磨きをかけることによって、クイックアンサー枠の中で他社サイトよりもユーザーの期待に沿った答えを表示させることができます。検索結果ページで強調スニペットが表示されるようなクエリの裏にユーザーのどのような意図があるのかを把握することは、これまで以上に重要になっています。

クイックアンサー専用最適化への影響

Googleが強調スニペットにこのような変化を導入した経緯を考慮すると、クイックアンサーに自社コンテンツを表示させるためのベストプラクティスに大きな変化はないと考えられます。現状ではこれまで弊社ブログでもご紹介したクイックアンサー専用最適化に引き続き取り組むことをお勧めします。また弊社の白書「クイックアンサーにコンテンツを表示させる方法」(英語のみ)も併せてご参照ください。

8 steps for showing up in google quick answers infographic

自社にとって価値のあるキーワードとして判断したキーワードでクイックアンサーに自社コンテンツが表示された場合は、パフォーマンスの水位を一定期間観察し、検索結果ページにクイックアンサーが複数個表示され始めるかどうか注目しましょう。またそれ以外にも2つの基本メトリクスをモニタリングしてください。

  • 自社コンテンツがランク入りしたクイックアンサーの数
  • クイックアンサー(強調スニペット)が表示されるが自社コンテンツではランク入りを果たしていないトラック済みキーワード数

自社がランク入りを果たしているクイックアンサーを把握することによって、どのような種類の検索結果ページで複数のクイックアンサーが表示されているのか絞り込むのにも役立つでしょう。キーワードグループを作成して進捗状況をモニタリングし、確実に現状維持できるようパフォーマンスを見守りましょう。

また、クイックアンサーが表示されるキーワードを把握することによって、近い将来さらに注力すべきキーワードを見極めることができます。このようなキーワードを選別したら、クイックアンサーに表示されるようなコンテンツを作成/最適化しましょう。このような変化がGoogle検索結果ページに導入された現在、データキューブを活用して分析を実施して、意味的に関連のあるフレーズをすべて発見し、自社コンテンツがすべての分野を網羅できるように準備しましょう。例えば、検索結果ページの強調スニペットに表示されるこれまでの基本的な1個だけのクイックアンサーと比較して、「マーケティングオートメーションのメリット(benefits of marketing automation)」のように、よりニュアンスに左右され多角的なクエリにおいては、よりランク入りを果たす可能性が高まると考えられます。

これらのメトリックはいずれもBrightEdgeのキーワードレポート機能内にあるユニバーサル検索結果ビューを活用することによって簡単にトラックすることができます。

スマートコンテンツ作成の枠組みに従って作業しているSEO担当者ならご存知かもしれませんが、いくら強力な仮定を立てたとしても実際のデータに勝るものはありません。自社にとって重要なキーワードの状況を検索結果ページで注意深く観察し、CTRについてもサイト全体とページごとのパフォーマンスを確認してください。また思い切った策略を立てるのは、策略の効果を裏付けする実際のデータが参照できる場合、または何らかの大きな問題が差し迫っており早急な現状回復が期待される場合に限定しましょう。

SEO for Voice Search: Are We Doing it Correctly?

Voice represents a significant transformation to the way end users interact with Search. The convergence of Voice, vertical search engines, and mobile will accelerate the fragmentation of Search and the need for agile and targeted SEO for voice.

Organic continues to be a critical channel for marketers. The expansion and modification of paid search placements on Google, implementation of the Knowledge Graph, featured snippets, local results, and now question-answer SERPs have all come and gone. Despite all of that we know that in 2017 Organic still comprised 51% of all web traffic on average. People continue to browse and engage with organic listings on the SERP. There is one technological development that seems to pose a fundamental shift to the way people interact with and navigate through search engines, and that's voice search. By speaking a query to your mobile or home device, the user effectively bypasses the SERP and is delivered an answer without ever having to browse search results, click through to a new site, or, in some cases, even look at a screen. This is the true "Position 0" reality that SEOs have been talking about for a while now. It's obvious that we need to start optimizing for voice, but there are extra levels of nuance beyond simply, "let's go after more Quick Answer boxes," that are worth considering.

Why is voice search important for digital marketing?

In one way, voice search results are simply a continued evolution of the featured snippets that now sit at the top of the SERP for a number of query-based search terms. Google itself has stated that featured snippets help with appearing in voice search queries, and Quick Answers featured snippets are often the source for the answers delivered by Google Voice Search and Google Home for voice queries. The significance of this relationship is even more apparent when you factor in that in 2016, Google SEO Sundar Pichai said a full 20% of Google searches made on mobile and Android devices are voice searches. The proliferation of voice search-enabled devices has also been dramatic. One in six adults in the United States owns a "smart speaker" device as of 2017, according to NPR and Edison Research. Additionally, a Northstar Research study commissioned by Google in 2014 found that 55% of teenagers and 41% of adults included in the survey used voice search more than once a day. It's for these reasons and more that we believe Voice will be a tidal wave that search marketers should be prepared to surf. Of course, the extent to which that's actionable depends partly on how much data is available to work off of, which is - at least for now - one of the main challenges.

What kind of voice search data do we have?

One of the biggest challenges SEOs and digital practitioners have in terms of optimizing for voice search is that we simply don't have very much tangible data on itseo for voice with brightedge yet. Back in 2016 John Mueller, Senior Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, said in a Webmaster Central office hours session that Google had been in discussions to add voice search traffic data to Google Search Console. The amount of data that's been made available since then, however, has been limited. Mueller did subsequently mention that voice query data would likely be presented as a separate dataset from standard GSC keyword data, but not much else. This isn't out of any desire to withhold information on the part of Google. Rather, as Mueller himself has said, the challenge on the search engine side has been to figure out the optimal way to parse and display this huge new dataset in a way that will be intelligible to the marketer. Despite this, based on best practices for featured snippets and aforementioned Quick Answers we do know enough to have a good sense of how to position for Voice:

  1. Analyze your search reporting for question queries and long queries
  2. Find the 100 most popular questions in your industry, site, CS, or, help section
  3. Ask the question in the title, answer the question in the body
  4. Focus on answers and getting position 1 and Quick Answers or “position 0”
  5. Check for popular answers in Yahoo Answers and Quora
  6. Enhance use of structured micro-data and schema
  7. Enable voice-to-text to search your site to match context query was made in
  8. Use conversational language on pages to map to queries coming from digital assistants

BrightEdge can help you to better identify and target these Quick Answer and featured snippet and, by extension, voice search opportunities. By using the Universal Search Results view in the Keyword Reporting module, as well as looking up your own domain in Data Cube, you can track which Quick Answer boxes you already possess as well as SERPs where you do show up, but don't have Quick Answer placement.Data Cube Universal Results Quick Answers report Additionally, the Insights solution can elevate Quick Answers opportunities to you based on your existing list of tracked keywords. There is also a whole other additional layer of abstraction (and potential for growth) in SEO for voice: The ever-growing universe of vertical search engines.

Voice search and vertical search engines

There's a layer of complexity to voice search that's easy to miss, and that's that Voice is fragmented. There are two separate points of fragmentation worth pointing out: Firstly, there's a whole universe of other search engines out there. Major examples include Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Depending on your industry and business model, many of these vertical search engines can be of significant value. The need for SEOs to start thinking about vertical search engines is something we've talked about before, but the rise of Voice makes it all the more important. Secondly, when we talk about Voice as a whole we often use the term to refer just to voice searches conducted on Google, and we don't factor in device type. Devices, however, are a vital aspect of how voice search will be delivered to and conducted by end users. Consider how it was only around September of 2017 when Apple switched the default search engine of Siri, the voice-activated digital assistant of iOS, from Bing to Google. Compare this to the Amazon Echo, which uses Bing. There are also narrower, but just as powerful examples, such as how Bixby, Samsung's virtual assistant for Galaxy devices, offers a visual search feature, which can identify brands and products and direct the user to ecommerce listings, uses Pinterest's Lens tool. While these individual examples may not be relevant to every search marketer, they are indicative of how the confluence of Voice, mobile device proliferation, and vertical search engines can drastically affect the angles of attack in SEO for voice search. Observe this example of a mundane voice search query using Alexa that delivers results solely for Amazon-branded products.

Different vertical search engines equal different search intent

Not all search engines are created equally. There are many potential scenarios where a brand may be better served focusing its SEO efforts on one search engine or a set of search engines versus another. It's clear that Voice is transforming organic search as we know it. This transformation isn't the end of Organic, it's another layer of complexity that will make savvy SEOs and digital marketers who understand user intent and approach it using a smart content framework more important than ever.
