TikTok reports on 2023 trends, Google adds an “E” to E-A-T, and more. December 16, 2022 [Read in browser]( [logo] [sponsor]( Happy Friday, you made it. You have: - Nine days left until Christmas.
- Eight days left to buy gifts—yikes.
- Four more Stacked Marketer emails until we hit pause, including this one. Yep… we’re taking a two-week break from December 22 to January 4. We’ll be back in your inboxes in 2023. TIKTOK What’s next for TikTok? [article-image] No, we don’t mean the United States’ proposed banning of the platform. TikTok released its [What’s Next 2023 Trend Report](, outlining key marketing and content creation shifts that could happen in the coming year. TikTok predicts three “major forces” will drive changes: - Actionable entertainment, or, incorporating platform-native entertainment content in your promotions. “When advertising messaging is delivered like an ad, but loved like entertainment, brands see incredible business results,” TikTok says.
- Celebrating joy. Make space for nice things. Bonding with your audience through meaningful connections and providing a language for people to bond over is going to be super important.
- Community-built ideals. People are using TikTok to find answers to questions and explore niche interests. Brands can leverage this by building micro-communities on the app. In a nutshell, making resonating, entertaining, and niche content that looks native and organic will earn you brownie points from TikTok’s audience. Going sideways: Also, it seems TikTok is [testing landscape videos]( with select users worldwide. Previously, TikTok announced it would allow 10-minute videos and with this new potential feature. The entire thing looks a bit too familiar, right? Yes, it does. Because YouTube. Why we care: 2022 was the year TikTok established itself as a major player in the social media space. 2023 may see the platform trying to take top spots from the likes of YouTube. So whatever happens next… it's going to be an exciting ride. GOOGLE Experience is now a search metric Double “Es” could spell double trouble. But let’s hope not. Google is updating their search quality raters guidelines [by adding an experience signal]( to its Expertise, Authority, Trustworthiness (E-A-T) principle. E-experience needed: Google will look for signals in content that show some degree of experience like: - Actual use of a product.
- Having personally visited a place.
- Communicating what a person experienced. For example, if you search for “how to fill a tax form correctly,” Google would prioritize content written by an actual financial or accounting expert. The new E-E-A-T principle is part of an [officially released guideline]( – so check it out. And now, an Analytics update: Google has released a [Google Analytics 4 (GA4) landing page report]( that should help you examine page effectiveness and optimize accordingly. The report will compare average engagement time per session, conversions, new users, views, and total revenue, and identify opportunities for improvement. Why we care: The E-E-A-T is another big change in how Google plans to approach organic content in 2022 and beyond. Make sure you adapt to the new principles so you don’t get overtaken. Also, GA4 got another welcome addition that should help you better understand how your website performs. Now it’s time to execute!

But the harsh truth is that most SEOs stumble when faced with highly technical website details… like JavasScript (JS). As Justyna Jarosz points out, [Google can’t index e-commerce websites with JavaScript blunders](, which results in lower presence on the search engines – and lower revenue. So if you’re running a custom website on JS for your store, make sure you don’t do this: #1 – Page navigation through JavaScript. When they land on a page, Google’s crawlers will skim the page by following links on your website structure. The problem is, JS based navigation often lets crawlers see only products on the first page. For instance, Nike’s infinite scrolling product feed is actually indexing only a few visible products, while leaving out the rest. One solution is providing bots with page navigation based on that will “lead them” to the next crawling page. #2 – Generating links to product carousels. Product carousels can help with revenue, but if done excessively in JS, they can hamper your indexing. Justyna found this out when she tested a popular product page that over-relied on JS to display product carousels – disabling JS made these sections invisible for bots. If you’re unsure, check if your product carousel is indexed in the Search Console. #3 – Blocking JavaScript files in robots.txt. Hey, it happens. Sometimes a number of your JS files may be disallowed in robots.txt, and Google can’t access them. When this happens, Google will skip indexing your important resources… and consequently they won’t appear on SERP, or count towards your topical authority. Ouch. Check robots.txt, and if there is a part of JS you don’t want bots to follow, disallow only that. #4 – JavaScript removing content from the website. Unoptimized JS, such as clickable panels that open description boxes, etc., “block” users from accessing important content. Don’t do this. Instead, make sure you serve this information even when JavaScript is disabled so Google can locate them and understand it’s the part of the same entity. Phew, that was technical. Make sure you consult a web developer and fine tune that JavaScript. It will make Google happy – and your rankings even happier!

But that seems to be changing… [article-image] Since Google got rid of its broad match modifier (BMM) and left us with “broad match,” a lot of advertisers have ditched the match type altogether. It’s understandable, really. Broad match keywords were notorious for being unreliable, too broad, and for populating search terms reports that made no sense. It wasn’t uncommon for a “running socks” search to trigger phrases like “tennis shoes,” for example. But there’s good news: Google redesigned how broad match keywords work. Here are a few things that have changed since BMM was taken away from us: - Broad match keywords now give more relevant searches based on your ads account. Broad match uses all the signals in an ad account, including your landing page and other keywords in the ad group, to reach relevant customers. It’s no longer a guessing game, thankfully.
- Google changed its language from “related” to “relevant” to describe how broad match keywords work, confirming that they started being careful with our precious ad dollars by providing us with cleaner search results. If you decide to add broad match keywords, let Google gather enough information about your target customers with its initial setup first—i.e., your phrase and exact match keywords. And when you add broad match keywords, make sure to pair your campaigns with an automated bidding strategy to only compete in relevant auctions. And just so you know… this doesn’t mean you should just add broad match keywords into every ad group in Google Ads. But it’s always worth a test.
