Since Reddit is now a top 5 SERP on Google, how are the upcoming paywalls going to affect your search results?

Struggling to understand what keywords my audience would be searching for. My brand does hometown and destination apparel for US states. You would think that if you lived in, say, Alabama you would just search for ‘Alabama shirts’ or something like that to find us. Trouble is that a lot of people use that keyword to find Alabama university apparel, which is not us. So, I’m curious on thoughts to differentiate our brand from that type of search. 5 2 replies

Intent-based SEO Earlier, Google ranked search results based on keyword matching, focusing on how many times a keyword appeared in the content. But now, Google understands user intent and ranks the most relevant results even if they don’t contain the exact keywords. If Google no longer prioritizes keyword density or exact keyword usage, how does it find and rank the most suitable results on the SERP?" 1 6 replies
Sudden view decline after "reviving" an older site - what happened? Hey there, I have a \~4 year old site with evergreen content that went well for a while but got hit by some google updates over the years. I had other projects and abandoned it a fair bit, only some new articles every once in a while.

I was unable to access the preview data. **SEMrush** have data at the... 2 1 replies
