If you’re not aligning your SEO and social strategies, you’re missing the bigger picture. - Published: 2025-06-17 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://www.outrank.co.uk/latest-news/social-media-is-changing-search-forever/ - Categories: Industry News - Department: SEO Why Social Media Posts Are Now Ranking Higher Than Your Website (And What To Do About It) It’s already happening. Quietly at first, now at full speed. From 10 July 2025, search engines will begin indexing public photos and videos from Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms, pulling them straight into search results. This isn’t just a feature update. It’s a reshaping of how visibility works online. You're already behind if your SEO strategy doesn’t account for social-first content. Search engines are clearing out thin, low-value pages to make space for what users want: genuine, authentic, user-generated content (UGC). The blogs built for keywords alone are irrelevant. What’s ranking now is content powered by human engagement, visual storytelling, and built-in trust signals. Here’s what that means and how to respond if you want to keep appearing in search. Social SEO Is No Longer Optional (And The Data Proves It) The shift isn’t theoretical. The numbers tell the story. A recent SEMrush domain report (see Image 2) shows X. com now ranks for over 7 million keywords, generates 55. 4M visits per month, and holds a $28. 3M traffic value. Even though overall traffic dropped by 3. 18%, the site’s value jumped by over 17%, due to increased authority and richer visibility. Now compare that to a second domain focused heavily on UGC content and visual-first platforms like Instagram (see Image 1). It’s exploding: 35. 6 million keywords 140. 7 million monthly visits A $75. 6 million traffic value (up nearly 14%)... --- > That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce our corporate sponsorship of Teesside Hospice, a remarkable charity providing essential care to people. - Published: 2025-06-17 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://www.outrank.co.uk/latest-news/outrank-sponsors-teesside-hospice/ - Categories: Company News We May Have Lost the Match, But We’re Winning Where It Matters At Outrank, the community has always been at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s through the work we do, our team culture, or creating and supporting local partnerships, we believe in using our platform to make a meaningful difference. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce our corporate sponsorship of Teesside Hospice, a remarkable charity providing essential care to people across Teesside. This partnership was inspired by the success of our recent charity football match with fellow North East tech leaders and rivals, Alt Labs, a match that not only brought out our competitive streaks but also shone a powerful spotlight on an organisation that does vital work for our local community every single day. A Match That Meant More Than Football In May, we joined forces with Alt Labs to host a charity football match like no other. It wasn’t just about goals, glory, or bragging rights (though we’ll admit, Alt Labs have those for now). It was about coming together for a greater cause: raising funds and awareness for Teesside Hospice. The day was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and an overwhelming sense of community. Teams, supporters, friends, families, and local businesses gathered in the spirit of giving.

Here’s why brand visibility still drives results, even without traffic. - Published: 2025-06-17 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://www.outrank.co.uk/latest-news/why-no-click-doesnt-mean-no-impact/ - Categories: Industry News - Department: SEO Seen But Not Chosen: Why Impressions Aren’t Enough in SEO Anymore Search has shifted. Fast. AI now decides not just what shows up on Google, but whether people even need to click. That’s flipped the playbook. Tracking clicks alone won’t cut it anymore. At the centre of it? Two familiar numbers: impressions and clicks. But in 2025, understanding the gap between them isn’t optional — it’s everything. No fluff. Just straight answers. Impressions: Being Seen Isn’t Nothing What’s an impression? It’s when your content appears in a Google result, clicked or not. If your page shows up, that’s one impression. Why it still matters: It means Google thinks you’re relevant, or at least close. It puts your name in front of people, even if they don’t act yet. It builds familiarity. And that often leads to action later. But here’s what’s changed: AI Overviews are now answering questions straight on the search page. Users get what they need without clicking, but your brand may still be mentioned. So you’re visible... just not in a way that shows up in your click data. Take this: Your article is quoted in an AI summary. The user sees your brand but doesn’t click. Later, they search your name directly. That started with an impression — even if the click never came. This is already happening. Brands are getting name-dropped in Overviews. Traffic stays flat, but enquiries go up. It’s untrackable, but it’s real. So yeah, your CTR might look poor. But if someone... --- - Published: 2025-06-17 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://www.outrank.co.uk/latest-news/set-and-forget-thats-killing-your-local-seo/ - Categories: Company News - Department: SEO Why You Shouldn’t “Set and Forget” Your Google Business Profile It’s easy to treat your Google Business Profile like a one-time setup job, create it, fill in the basics, upload a few photos, then forget about it. But if that’s your approach, you’re missing out on one of the most powerful tools for local visibility. Google Posts are not built for set-and-forget use. They’re designed to keep your business fresh, visible, and relevant in local search. That means if you’re not posting regularly, your content disappears from public view, and your profile can quickly start to look neglected. Google Posts: Not Just a Static Listing A fully optimised Google Business Profile is more than just a business name, opening hours, and a map pin. It’s a living marketing channel. With regular updates, it becomes a space where you can share promotions, announce events, publish offers, highlight reviews, or answer common questions—all right on your search listing. This ongoing activity helps build trust. Customers see that your business is active, responsive and up to date. A profile that’s left untouched for months? It sends the opposite message. What Happens When You Stop Posting? Without fresh posts, your listing can feel flat or forgotten, especially when competitors are keeping theirs active. Not posting regularly also means missing out on simple call-to-action opportunities like: “Call now” for lead generation “Visit our website” to boost traffic “Learn more” to direct customers to key landing pages These aren’t minor perks. They drive clicks, calls, and... --- > Why are people adding products to their basket, but not completing the sale?

The truth is, there are many reasons why people might add items to their basket but not actually complete their purchase. Today, we will look at a few of them and consider how to understand this to increase conversions and move people from “initiated checkout” to “purchased”. Some of the common causes are: Unexpected Costs: additional costs like shipping fees, high delivery fees, taxes, or handling charges that aren't revealed until checkout can deter customers from completing their purchase. Complicated Checkout Process: a long, complex, or confusing checkout process can lead to basket abandonment. If users are asked to provide too much information or face technical issues, they might give up. Price Sensitivity: Customers might change their minds if they find the price too high or if they're waiting for a discount or promotion. Comparison Shopping: Some users add items to their basket to "save" them while they continue to compare prices or alternatives on other e-commerce sites. Distractions or Interruptions: People might abandon their basket because they get distracted by other tasks or because they need to think more about the purchase before completing it. Lack of Trust: Concerns about the security of their personal or payment information, or doubts about the legitimacy of the online shop, can lead customers to abandon their basket. Limited Payment Options: If the store doesn’t offer preferred payment... --- > We are incredibly proud to announce that Outrank has been officially recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025. - Published: 2025-06-12 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://www.outrank.co.uk/latest-news/outrank-named-one-of-the-sunday-times-best-places-to-work/ - Categories: Company News We are incredibly proud to announce that Outrank has been officially recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025.

Teams from Outrank and Alt Labs came together for an exciting charity football match in support of Teesside Hospice — and it truly was a day to remember. Managed by local legends — Dimitrios Konstantopoulos for Outrank and Andy Campbell for Alt Labs — the game was packed with action, goals, and great sportsmanship. The final scoreline read 5-3 to Alt Labs, but the real winners were the families and patients who benefit from the hospice’s incredible care and the amazing support from the entire team at Middlesbrough Football Club for helping us with such a fantastic event, we certainly took a "Pitch Hire" experience and made lifelong memories from it.

It’s a place where compassion meets expert care, and community support really makes a difference. Thanks to events like this, and the generosity of everyone involved, the hospice can continue its life-changing work in the heart of the community. Highlights From the Match Alt Labs got off to a flying start with early goals from Craig McManus and Anthony Bradshaw, but Outrank’s Craig Gall kept them in the game with a goal before halftime.

Despite offering high-quality services and having a stellar reputation within the gym equipment industry, their digital footprint didn’t reflect their credibility. They needed a strategic partner to help improve visibility, increase enquiries, and showcase their brand as a nationwide leader in gym equipment services. Outrank stepped in with a comprehensive SEO and digital strategy, which included building a new website, improving local and national SEO, optimising their presence across local listings, and executing a high-quality backlink campaign. The results were transformative, positioning Gym Tech as a dominant force in their niche both locally and across the UK. What Do Gym Tech Do? Gym Tech are specialists in nationwide gym equipment servicing, repairs, and installations.

With one in four people in the UK experiencing a mental health problem each year, it’s vital that companies move beyond surface-level support and create environments where employees feel truly understood, valued, and safe. Mental health is something that affects us all, whether we talk about it or not. For some, it’s a passing struggle; for others, it’s a daily battle. But one thing we all have in common is the ability to offer support, compassion, and understanding to those around us. Supporting someone with their mental health doesn’t require professional training—it starts with empathy and a willingness to be there. So how can we support others with their mental health, in both meaningful and manageable ways? 1. Start With Listening - Really Listening Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is to simply be there and listen. Not to offer advice or to fix things, but to allow someone space to talk without judgment. Put your phone away. Be present. Avoid interrupting or comparing experiences. Phrases like “That sounds really tough,” or “I’m here for you, no matter what,” can go a long way. 2. Check In Regularly You don’t need a reason to check in with someone - just ask how they’re doing. A simple message like “Thinking of you, how are things? ” can be a lifeline on a difficult day. Regular, low-pressure check-ins show people they’re not alone. 3.

Whether you're browsing a website for information, shopping for products, or searching for services, the last thing you want is a website that takes forever to load. Studies consistently show that visitors are less likely to engage with a website that takes too long to load, and businesses that don’t prioritise fast loading times may lose valuable traffic and conversions. So, what exactly is slow loading time, why is it important, and more importantly—how can you improve it? In this blog post, we’ll dive into the concept of slow loading times, why it matters for your business, and practical tips for improving your website’s speed. What Is Slow Loading Time? Loading time refers to the amount of time it takes for a webpage to fully display its content, including text, images, and videos, after a user clicks on a link or enters a URL. In technical terms, this is also known as page load speed. A slow loading time typically refers to a webpage that takes more than 3 seconds to load, though the optimal load time is usually under 2 seconds. Websites that load slower than this can lead to frustrated users, higher bounce rates, and lost opportunities. Slow loading time can be caused by a variety of factors, including: Large image files or heavy media. Excessive JavaScript and CSS files. Unoptimised server response times. Too many HTTP requests. Unoptimised website code. Poor web hosting or server performance. Understanding these factors... --- > We’re beyond excited to share some brilliant news: Outrank has officially been shortlisted for Small Business of the Year at the Tees Tech Awards 2025! - Published: 2025-04-16 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://www.outrank.co.uk/latest-news/outrank-nominated-small-business-of-the-year-tees-tech-awards-2025/ - Categories: Company News We’re beyond excited to share some brilliant news: Outrank has officially been shortlisted for Small Business of the Year at the Tees Tech Awards 2025!

But that’s not all – this year, we’re also proud to be sponsoring the 'Tech Start Up' category at the awards. As a company that started with just a handful of people, big ambitions, and a lot of late nights, we know exactly how much passion, resilience, and risk goes into launching a start-up – especially in the world of tech.

From EUSR-approved SHEA training courses and SCO courses to First Aid certifications, their professional training services are vital for businesses and individuals across the UK.

However, while steel buildings are known for their affordability, prices can vary significantly between suppliers. That’s why comparing steel building quotes is essential to securing the best deal.

Some companies spend a lot on Google Ads and SEO to get their website seen, while others decide to step back and rely solely on their website’s organic reach. While this might seem like a smart way to save money, it can lead to a drop in search rankings over time. The truth is, a well-optimised website is key to long-term online success. Why Is Your Website Dropping in Rankings? If you've noticed your website slipping down in search rankings after cutting back on paid ads or SEO, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many businesses go through this when they reduce their online marketing efforts. The thing to remember is that SEO isn’t something you do once and forget about. Search engines favour websites that are regularly updated and optimised. When you stop maintaining your SEO, competitors who keep working on theirs will start to outrank you. However, just because your rankings are dropping doesn’t mean you’re losing business. If your brand is strong, and you’re still getting customers through referrals and word-of-mouth, that’s great! But imagine how much more growth you could see if your website was actively working for you, attracting even more potential customers.

This change, where search engine results pages (SERPs) provide immediate answers to queries, greatly impacts how content creators and digital marketers approach search engine optimisation (SEO). In this detailed exploration, we explain zero-click searches and strategise how to optimise content to thrive in this new environment. Understanding Zero-Click Searches A zero-click search occurs when a user's query is answered directly on the SERP, negating the need for further clicks. This has risen dramatically in recent years, driven by the search engines' commitment to enhancing user experience. Google, for example, has refined its algorithms and SERP layouts to offer quick answers, featured snippets, knowledge panels, and more, directly addressing users' queries. The prevalence of zero-click searches represents a paradigm shift in SEO. Where traditionally, the goal was to drive website traffic, the focus is increasingly on providing concise, direct answers within SERPs. This shift requires a nuanced understanding of user intent and the types of queries that lead to zero-click results. Impact on Digital Marketing and SEO The rise of zero-click searches presents a dual-edged sword for digital marketers and content creators. On the one hand, it offers an opportunity for increased visibility and brand recognition when content appears directly in SERPs. On the other hand, it can lead to reduced website traffic, as users get the information they need without visiting the actual website.

Is the best marketing strategy one that wins you followers... or one that divides? It’s Election Day in the U. S. and here we are again. Trump’s on the ballot, his wispy hair centre of the spotlight. And I can’t help but think back eight years ago, when he first ran for President. At that time, I was just an A-Level student, deep into my English Language coursework, oblivious to how strangely relevant it would all feel today. My dissertation? A language investigation centered on Trump himself. I’d chosen him for one reason: he was everywhere. Headlines. News cycles. Social feeds. Like it or not, he was dominating conversations with a language that didn’t sound like any politician we’d heard before. So, as the curious student I was, I set out to uncover the mechanics—how he was using language as his own form of artillery. Turns out, Trump’s language was anything but accidental. Patterns started to emerge. Little devices and tricks that, on the surface, seemed almost too obvious to be powerful. Repetition was his weapon of choice. The same phrases, repeated endlessly, like a drumbeat underscoring everything he said. It seemed boring, even lazy, at first glance. But it was doing something powerful. Those phrases were embedding themselves into the public consciousness, and, over time, they took root. A whole bunch of waffle from a 17 year old trying to sound smart. And then there was his tone—defiant, unpolished and unapologetically blunt. It fast became clear that this millionaire... --- > Do you need SEO for a cruise liner company? | Read our latest article to learn more on how this can be achieved.

With cruise lines like P&O Cruises, Cunard Cruises, and MSC Cruises vying for online visibility, effective SEO can differentiate a brand and drive substantial organic traffic. Let’s dive into the SEO tactics that can help cruise liner companies rise to the top of search engine rankings. Understanding The Cruise Audience And Search Intent To create a successful SEO strategy, it’s essential to understand who your audience is and what they are searching for. Potential cruise-goers have different search intents depending on their travel needs, ranging from researching specific destinations to finding family-friendly or luxury cruises. For example, P&O Cruises may attract families looking for entertainment-rich journeys, while Cunard Cruises appeals to luxury travellers interested in refined experiences. MSC Cruises, known for its Mediterranean routes and diverse itineraries, draws in those interested in cultural immersion. Cruise companies can develop content and keywords that align with specific interests by analysing search intent across these different customer profiles. Conducting In-Depth Keyword Research Effective keyword research is the foundation of a successful SEO strategy. Cruise companies such as Pure Holidays should focus on finding keywords that resonate with their specific offerings and appeal to their target audience. Cruise types, destinations, and themes may segment these keywords to maximise reach. For instance, P&O Cruises might target keywords like "family-friendly cruises," "Mediterranean cruises," or "Caribbean cruises with kids.

Held at the breathtaking Wynyard Hall, the retreat brought together an inspiring group of businesses, all eager to learn, collaborate, and grow. This event was not just any conference; it was a gathering of driven entrepreneurs, including those from Sara’s past investments and the new businesses featured in the upcoming 2025 series of Dragons’ Den. As experts in SEO, PPC, email, and data-driven strategies, we had the privilege of discussing the importance of omnichannel marketing and its role in modern business growth.

It's not a number you can measure. But it's the glue that holds everything together. There's a lot to be said about company culture. Sure, you can measure productivity, profits, and KPIs—but when it comes to culture, the value is a little harder to pin down. Take last month, when our awesome CEO went all out and booked a luxury tipi for the team at Hardwick Live. We had it all: a private bar, food, and even our own posh, fancy loos. He didn’t have to do it. In fact, no one expects you to spend big on staff events. Could we have settled for a casual trip to 'Spoons and ended the night off at the Wobbly Goblin? Absolutely. But he did it for one simple reason: a positive company culture is priceless. If there’s any real measure of company culture, being named a top 100 Great Place to Work® in the UK is a solid indicator—and it's something we're all immensely proud of. Recognition like this matters even more in an industry as competitive as ours, where it can be hard to hold on to great people.

We learned a lot, and we’re now excited to share some of our key takeaways! Accessibility Is Vital According to the World Health Organisation, more than a billion people (16%) worldwide experience a significant disability.

We’re feeding these back to the company to ensure we’re doing everything we can to be accommodating.

In today's digital age, capturing the attention of potential guests requires more than just idyllic scenery. It demands an online presence, and that's where Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) plays an essential role. Understanding SEO and Its Impact SEO isn't just about ranking higher on search engines; it's about enhancing visibility, driving targeted traffic, and ultimately, increasing bookings. For Cornish Holiday Cottages, utilising SEO means making sure that when someone searches for "luxury holiday cottages in falmouth" or "places to stay in St Ives," their website appears prominently in search results. This visibility is essential because studies show that the majority of users rarely venture beyond the first page of search results. Tailoring Content to Local and Seasonal Trends Cornish Holiday Cottages can benefit significantly from creating content that resonates with local and seasonal trends. From blog posts, guides, and articles about the best beaches to visit in summer, the cosiest cottages for winter escapes, or hidden gems in Cornwall can attract organic traffic. By integrating relevant keywords naturally into this content, such as "dog-friendly cottages in Cornwall", "Falmouth cottages" or "romantic escapes in St Agnes," the website not only becomes more discoverable but also positions itself as a knowledgeable authority on Cornish holidays.

Pints in plastic cups, poured fresh and barely sipped, cut through the air, their icy chill showering down onto waterproof ponchos and sunburnt skin. Street parties, beer gardens, flags, and bunting; 60,000 Wembley go-ers erupting with millions across the country in a seismic roar. It's the second minute of the Euro 2020 Final, and Luke Shaw has just scored. This was it. The dream of an entire nation hangs in the summer air. It was finally coming home. Or, at least we thought. If an early goal was the perfect start, the strategy that followed was not-so-perfect. As the game went on, England began to invite pressure; their focus no longer on winning but rather not losing. The defense began to drop back, Italy piled on the pressure, and sixty-five long minutes later, the inevitable. An Italy goal that took the game to penalties. Penalties which took the dream from England. Three years on, the mentality of playing it safe is rearing its head again, only this time it's not just about the footy. As the UK dips in and out of mild recessions, the general election balances on a knife's edge, and it seems we're tipping towards (another) economic downturn. If your instinct is to cut back, hunker down, and play it safe, you're not alone. Many businesses are facing the same dilemma. But just like England's approach in the Euro final, being overly-cautious can backfire.

No? Me either, until Monday afternoon.
