WASHINGTON, WA, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GoodFirms, a universally renowned B2B ratings and reviews platform, released its recent survey research report - "How to Rank Higher on Google & AI Search Engines: An Actionable Framework and Holistic Approach." The survey aims to gather valuable insights on how businesses can improve their SEO strategies, be it for Google or for the latest AI-powered search engines.

According to the survey, 83.6% of businesses have a dedicated SEO team, which clearly highlights the importance of SEO and its role in business growth. Survey participants also stated the top factors that influence the ranking or citation on a SERP as SEO techniques, type of content, frequency of posting content, marketing strategy, monitoring effectiveness, and social media presence.

Adopting an E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) approach has become essential in creating quality content that can help improve the SEO of a website, boosting its performance. GoodFirms survey stated that around 78.6% of the surveyed businesses believe they have a holistic SEO approach for Google and AI search engines. In comparison, only 21.4% of the companies are yet to adopt a holistic approach to improve their ranking.

When questioned about the benefits of AI search engines like searchGPT 56.8% felt summarized answers as the top benefit of AI search engines, 42.2% mentioned conversational interaction, 34.1% said personalization, 26.4% felt that AI can give more relevant answers, and 19.3% indicated precise results.

“AI search engines like SearchGPT have drawbacks, like any other technology, like they are limited to real-time content, error-prone, subject to bias, and vulnerable to security threats, and they can also be expensive,” mentioned a participant of GoodFirms Survey.

When questioned about the potential impact of Search AI on SEO dynamics, 45.2% of them said that it will impact the dominance of established search engines like Google, while 40.2% of the businesses are unsure how it can impact the search engine, and 14.3% of participants believe that there will be no impact.

GoodFirms concludes that marketers must be well-versed in traditional SEO while compliant with the basic principles of AI search engines.
