2 Importance of Content
INBOUND15
Google Cares about answers.Why?
INBOUND15
Billions of times per day, consumers turn to Google for I want-to-know, I want-to-go, I want-to-do, and I want-to-buy moments. And at these times, consumers are increasingly picking up their smartphones for answers.
In fact, more Google searches take place on mobile devices than on computers in 10 countries including the US and Japan.

In my opinion, the minimum bar today for modern SEO is a step higher. That is, as good as the best in the search results. If you can’t consistently say, “we’re the best result a searcher could find in the search results,” well then guess what?
You’re not going to have an opportunity to rank.

The information within App Internet is not easily searchable – so Google is set for a long fade.
