  There is an apparently never-ending list of factors to take into account when writing blog content, including seasonality, algorithm updates, and SEO keyword research. Additionally, if you used your smart device to find this blog, “Hey Google, is Mediavine about to tell me something else I should optimize for in my content?” The answer is yes. We are.  Welcome to everything you didn’t know you needed to know about voice search. Voice search is becoming an increasingly popular way for audiences to find the information they need without taking up too much time or energy due to increased AI voice recognition patterns and increased accessibility to smart home devices. Insider Intelligence estimates that 44% of internet users currently use voice search once a month. It is time to think about including voice search optimization in your SEO strategy, since so many people are speaking on their smart devices rather than typing into search bars. What is voice search? Voice search is the ability to speak into your smart device and have your spoken language translated into text via an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. This implies that even though your search is limited to audio, it appears as text on search engines such as Google Chrome or Safari, just like a regular text query. Furthermore, although voice searches may eventually operate similarly to text searches, they differ greatly from one another. Voice searches are typically longer than text searches because the queries we speak into our devices directly often correspond to the way we speak in real life. Say, "What are the best casual lunch spots in West Town, Chicago?" instead of "lunch near me." Both searches will locate a lunch spot nearby, but one is more akin to a genuine conversation than the other, which is a quick and easy search query. How does voice search impact my SEO strategy? Even though only the top 1 or 3 results are displayed to the user when ranking for voice search, you can still enhance your overall SEO strategy by optimizing for it. Not only can you reach a wider audience by focusing on voice search, but search engines also appreciate content that is written with humans in mind. By incorporating voice search optimization into your plan, you may be able to improve your page authority in addition to your chances of ranking in one of the top three positions. Additionally, you can stay ahead of digital trends by using voice-search targeting. With algorithm changes occurring frequently and the trend toward voice-friendly content, making this adjustment to your content now could have a positive long-term effect on you. How Do I Target Voice Search in My SEO Strategy? When producing material, consider the "natural." Instead of reading like an overly optimized SEO think piece created by AI, your content should sound like a typical conversation between actual people. What kind of question would you ask? Your goal should be to address typical verbal queries within your content.  Writing for voice search does not mean abandoning SEO research and optimization; it means researching long-tail keywords and seeing what questions people are already searching for. An easy way to answer common voice searches is to include FAQ sections in your content. This will allow you to answer some of those tougher questions in a more natural way. Who Would Benefit Most from Optimizing for Voice Search? Though it may seem like travel and hyperlocal bloggers would gain the most from optimizing for voice searches given the current prevalence of local searches through voice search, other niches will also profit as voice search grows in popularity and strength. It is a good idea to begin optimizing your content for voice search as soon as possible, so you can be ready for the feature's inevitable rise in popularity. We are aware that it seems like there is always a new strategy to improve your website's visibility or SEO authority, but we are confident that this most recent trend will not fade.

Gaining an advantage over your audience through voice search is a relatively low-effort approach to boost traffic and "future-proof" your website, as voice search users will only increase as Gen Alpha continues to shape the internet's future. The more sophisticated smart devices become, the more popular voice search will become. "Hey Siri, how do I optimize my blog content for voice search?" will be a common question in the near future. Making small changes to your SEO strategy now can greatly impact how well your site evolves with the modern internet.

If you watched our 2024 Product Roadmap Live Event in November, you might have seen some pretty exciting news. We have officially reached the maximum threshold of things we can call Grow so we have made the decision to sell Grow Social to our friends at NerdPress, solidifying our long-standing collaboration and giving Grow Social the opportunity to, well, grow, while our team at Mediavine focus on our initiatives laid out in our 2024 Product Roadmap. To be clear, we know this has been confusing. Two products with the same name? What were we thinking? (That’s an explanation for another blog post.) Grow is our first-party data solution designed to help publishers thrive once third-party cookies are gone. Grow Social and Grow Social Pro were our social-sharing plugins that helped your readers easily share your content to their social media pages. And now it has a new name. Creating a Hubbub About Social Sharing Publishers are looking for dependable ways to distribute their content, interact with readers, and possibly even generate buzz about their websites in order to grow their readership as we welcome yet another new era of the internet. Hence the new name: Hubbub. The long-standing misunderstanding between Grow and Grow Social is finally resolved by the lighthearted and humorous moniker. Since 60% of NerdPress's clients currently use the plugin, it seemed like the ideal solution for both businesses to add it to their offerings while we concentrate on first-party data with Grow. Hubbub is currently a plugin that gives WordPress-powered bloggers social media sharing buttons. You can add the plugin to your WordPress admin and install it on your website by going to the WordPress plugin repository. What Hubbub Means for Publishing's Future With search traffic patterns shifting and new search engines appearing on a daily basis (TikTok, really?), publishers with astute minds will want to take advantage of Hubbub's social sharing features now more than ever. The founder and CEO of NerdPress, Andrew Wilder, claims that although social sharing tools are not discussed much, they are a very real way to give your website extra, objective validation. During one of our calls to plan this transition, Wilder shared that “One of the things Google has been pushing for is EEAT (experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust) and there are many ways to indicate that on a website. But one of them is social sharing accounts.” Social share tools, like Hubbub, allow a publisher’s audience to share content they find helpful and which should be ranked higher. Andrew Wilder is not only the NerdPress founder and CEO, but he is also a Mediavine publisher with his site Eating Rules, making this recent collaboration even more special. “Mediavine and NerdPress have always enjoyed working together and collaborating, I feel like we are a part of the Mediavine family,” Andrew told us during our recent sit down with him to discuss the big sale, “I love working with Mediavine and what you stand for, your mission to support publishers even as things evolve,” in the tech industry. NerdPress and Mediavine's already strong relationship is further strengthened by the sale of the social sharing plugin to the latter. We have worked with NerdPress for a very long time; Andrew has appeared as a guest on our podcast and Teal Talks, and many of our publishers—many of whom are delighted NerdPress customers—have expressed their excitement about the sale. Additionally, Mediavine will have more time to focus on our current products—Grow and the brand-new Trellis in particular—thanks to the sale. Hubbub's Future Plans NerdPress is eager to invest time and energy into enhancing the plugin in order to give it the support it requires to keep helping publishers. In light of the fact that social media and technology are changing far too quickly, they are allocating a team to make sure the plug-in is kept up to date. We are eager to see what NerdPress can do for Hubbub in the future.

  1. Build Your Newsletter Audience Email traffic may be relatively small relative to your total audience, but it might be your most valuable source of traffic. This is so because the only relationship you truly have with your audience is through your email list. (How are your followers on MySpace doing these days?) Changes to the algorithm will cause chaos even if the platform makes it through. An update may cause Google search traffic to plummet. Referral traffic may disappear at any time and for no reason at all. Furthermore, not all of us can depend on users entering our URL into their browsers. 2. Make more money today! We all love to talk about how Chrome will eliminate third-party cookies (3PC) in 2024, but let us not forget the browsers that set the trend years earlier: Safari and Firefox. When readers log into your site through Grow on these browsers, your earnings could increase*.Currently, these readers are worth more than twice as much as readers who do not use Growth. Even with 3PC still around for the time being on Chrome, you could make more there as well. On average, authenticated traffic can be worth over 50 percent more than third-party data on Chrome because it’s so reliable. That’s right now, before cookies are gone, and that figure should only increase when we lose the ability to track non-Grow readers once 3PCs are gone and the value of those readers decreases. 3. Grow Uses 3P3. Make Use of 3PC While T They are still available. weeks of 2023 with 3PC in effect, and the 2024 phase-out is going to be a slow rollout (only 1 percent of cookies will be deprecated initially). That means we still have some time left with cookies around, and you better believe Grow is taking advantage of that. On Chrome, if a logged-in reader who created a Grow account comes to your site, when they show up, they’re already signed in.  Publishers get all the advantages of logged-in readers, like increased CPMs, and readers get personalized content they’ll love. Simply turning on Grow could mean more money in your pocket with no effort, and the sooner you turn it on, the more valuable it becomes in the long term. 4. When Third-Party Cookies Go Away, Your First-Party Data Endures To be clear, when we talk about cookies going away, we mean browser-based third-party cookieThis is saved locally as a first-party cookie when a reader logs in to your web sitThat implies that once third-party cookies are removed, all readers who visit your website—even those who do so through Chrome's third-party cookies—will still be logged in. Consider them a convenient "cookie bridge." The sooner you install Grow, the sooner you can start accumulating resources for a post-3PC world.orld. Convert third-party cookies into first-party data starting today, simply by enabling Grow. 5. Increase Traffic If extra money and future-proofing your business with authenticated traffic aren’t enough to persuade you, how about increased web traffic? Grow has features like Recommended Content, Search, Bookmarks, and Automailer that are designed to increase the value of every visitor to your website by providing them opportunities for repeat engagements. Getting that second pageview out of a visitor is huge, and we all know how challenging that can be, especially with traffic from social media platforms. Through years of optimization and built-in machine learning, Grow optimizes your readers’ experiences to make sure they stick around—and it works. The average site running any of those features gets more pageviews. In November 2023, we saw nearly 13 million additional pageviews across sites running these features, which could mean more money in your pocket today. 6. Speed Up Your Site Did we mention that you get all of the tools listed above without slowing down your site? Across the internet, related content, subscribe forms, and search plugins are often some of the most taxing on your site. Not with Grow. Grow provides you all of those features with built-in lazy

loading and optimizations to help ensure that neither your server nor your site’s Core Web Vitals are adversely affected. So turn off those taxing plugins and other third-party JavaScript and help speed up your website with a single Grow script (or with our Grow WordPress plugin). A faster site can mean more ad revenue. 7. Save Money We’ve spent a lot of time discussing ways in which you can earn more money with Grow. But would you believe you can also save at the same time? That’s because Grow is free. Better than free, actually, because it may help you earn revenue Removing many of the plugins we just mentioned means eliminating paid, recurring expenses from your budget. Not only can you save money by removing those and going with Grow instead, but our Automailer feature allows you to send emails for free.  Paying for an email-sending provider (ESP) is one of the most costly expenses for many publishers. In many cases, Automailer is an effective, free replacement. NOTE: If your email solution is optimized and you’re happy with it, we definitely recommend sticking to your ESP. But if you’re like many of us and have never optimized an ESP,? Automailer is for you. A lot of us set up RSS-to-email feeds and then moved on. In those situations, you could ditch that setup for Automailer,a system that automatically sends your latest and top-performing posts to your readers based on their individual recommended content. That means tailoring emails to each subscriber.  (For free, in case we didn’t mention that three times already.) 8. Build Your Reader Base We all love any traffic we can get, but not all traffic is created equal. A reader that consumes one pageview after coming from Pinterest will never be worth the same as a loyal reader who returns week in and week out after opening your newsletter. Why? That’s a subject for an entire blog post, but long story short, readers who are more engaged with your content are also more likely to see relevant ads, which improves their user experience.  Plus, thanks to Grow, all of these logged-in readers will fall into the category of authenticated traffic, which, again, on average, can be worth more than double the value of unauthenticated traffic on browsers like Safari and Firefox.  You might not think of your readers as “super fans” along the lines of Taylor Swift’s legions of devotees, but this is the publishing equivalent—they will follow you no matter where the web goes. They belong with you, if you will. Bad jokes aside, we can’t predict every aspect of what the web will look like in a few years, but we can promise you it’s changing fast and won’t be like it is today. Loyal readers will stick with you, though. Grow is the engagement framework built for you to attract and keep super fans, and Grow readers are that fan base. Mediavine is constantly working on even more ways to make sure they keep coming back. Features like Subscribe, Automailer, and Bookmarks are just the beginning. 9. Help Us Grow Together Individually, no single publisher can generate the volume of authenticated traffic and the scale of first-party data that advertisers need to replace third-party cookies. We’re talking about tens of millions of registered readers. Not even the top sites on the internet with the biggest subscriber bases have that. But combined? Mediavine publishers are bigger than the top sites on the internet.  Trying to grow your newsletter on your own is fine, but even a successful website is probably sending out emails to tens of thousands of subscribers. We need tens of millions. Tens of millions means at least 5–10% of traffic from Mediavine sites logging in. Grown readers are shared between our sites, and we need to bring in a lot more of them. It takes all of us, and the sooner we start this collective mission, the closer we’ll be to the goal when third-party cookies are officially a thing of the past. 10. Help Shape the Future of Growing We purposely launched Grow in what we call the Minimum

Viable Product (MVP) stage when we released it three years ago, and we did this for a reason.  Grow has always been about providing value to readers. Since every site is different and you know your readers better than anyone, it’s you—our publishers—who have been driving the roadmap of Grow from the onset. You can’t be providing that feedback and driving the future of this platform and the web unless you’re running Grow—and thousands of our publishers are not.  Are there features missing from Grow that are preventing you from running it? Or things you think could be done better or differently in an ideal world? Run and grow now. Then share that feedback. Grow has evolved like crazy in the past three years and will only continue to do so in 2024 and beyond, but we need you to be part of the solution.  The future of the web is in our hands. Let’s grow together.
