Rank higher in Google Shopping with an excellent customer experience. The anatomy of a viral Twitter thread. February 24, 2022 [Read in browser]( [logo] [sponsor]( Hello Thursday! You might have heard the news about Ukraine and Russia… Not what we wished to wake up to this morning… GOOGLE Google Shopping will rank you higher if you provide an “excellent customer experience” [article-image] [Google has emailed]( Merchant Center users, stating that if you provide an "excellent customer experience," they will boost your Google Shopping rankings. How Google will measure excellent customer experience: By using data. And then some more data. Google will track the customer experience you provide in several areas, including shipping speed, return cost, shipping cost, and return window. It will then assign a rating to each of those metrics, ranging from "Excellent" to "Opportunity" (which is a nice way of saying "you can’t do worse than this"). No penalties: Google also said they won’t penalize you if you go below a certain level of customer experience. But if 5 of your competitors rank “excellent” on all metrics compared to you, they’ll probably rank higher. ADVERTISING Here are the ads that won the Super Bowl, according to YouTube [One week ago we featured]( an unofficial list of the most viewed ads on YouTube during the Super Bowl.

It’s a practice that the search engine giant started years ago. Most of the time, it does it for a good reason. [And they also documented why they do it](. It can still be annoying to have your title rewritten. [But Cyrus Shepard compiled 10]( of the most common scenarios in which Google is likely to rewrite your titles along with advice for avoiding this rewrite. Length is the most common reason for Google to rewrite titles: Usually, Google changes the length to make the title fit the device. The sweet spot to prevent rewriting is 51-60 characters. Match the title tag to the H1 tag: When reformulating your title, Google starts with your HTML title tag, but sometimes they might use your H1 heading. That’s why matching your H1 to your title typically drops the chances of rewriting. Don’t break titles: “Best TVs 2022 - Reviewed by Experts (& User Tested)”. Google is much more likely to rewrite titles broken up into different sections. If you need to break the title, use the right separator. Google prefers the dash “-”. And it usually picks parenthetical text over brackets. Use keywords that closely match how users find your page in Google search results. Avoid repeating keywords in the title: Google will likely rewrite your title if it repeats even a single word. Try to use synonyms. Avoid irrelevant boilerplate text: By itself, boilerplate isn’t bad, but Google rewrites it if it’s irrelevant. Make sure that every title is unique, and that the text is complete. Keep your titles up to date: Everytime you update your content, you should do the same with your title as well. Beyond following these guidelines, make sure you're aware when Google rewrites one of your titles so you can better otptimize them.

But, there’s a reason you see so many threads on Twitter: Done right, you can amass a following worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars. Here’s how to write a great one. For starters, your first tweet needs to be killer. Writing a great thread is like writing advertising headlines––if you don’t have an excellent start, nobody will read the rest. Many bad threads go viral because the first tweet is stellar. Use this framework for your first tweet: Counter-intuitive statement -> Quick evidence -> Cliffhanger For a great example, [look at this first tweet]( from Julian Shapiro. This simple formula above makes up ~90% of viral twitter threads, especially in the marketing space. Use it to get ahead. After your first tweet, each reply should have one succinct idea. Keep people interested. Each tweet in your thread should communicate one, specific idea. [Sahil Bloom does this well.]( Finally, include a CTA. You’d be surprised how many people will click on a promotional link after reading your thread. [Follow Sahil Bloom’s example here]( and include a link to something you want to promote at the end. Now, get out there and go viral on Twitter (without the emojis overload, for crying out loud).
