The traditional separation between SEO and UX is dead. Google’s algorithm updates increasingly reward websites that provide excellent user experiences, while UX improvements often directly impact search rankings. A comprehensive site audit must evaluate both technical SEO factors and user experience elements as interconnected systems.
Keyword research has evolved far beyond the simple days of finding high-volume, low-competition terms.

AI Overviews are Google’s AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results for certain queries.

Unlike featured snippets that pull content from a single source, AI Overviews draw from multiple websites to create a more complete response.
