Hey there! Exciting news from Google! 🎉 They're shaking things up and giving a big thumbs up to first-person perspectives in search rankings. 🚀 Let's dive into the deets!

So, Google's all about making your search experience super personal. They're now boosting content that comes straight from the horse's mouth – real people sharing their experiences, advice, and opinions. 🗣️ The buzzword here is E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). Fancy, right?

What does this mean for you? Well, buckle up because first-person perspectives will now reign supreme in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). Google wants you to easily find individual stories and insights when hunting for info. Plus, they're making it a breeze for you to rediscover sites you've visited before. 🔄 Nice move, Google!

Now, why is this a big deal? Companies, listen up! It's time to craft content that speaks directly to searchers on a personal level. Think of it as sharing a cup of virtual coffee and having a chat. ☕

But wait, there's a plot twist! Google Groups saw a traffic spike, but it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. Some folks were playing naughty with spammy content, and traffic took a nosedive. 😬

Fear not, because other cool places like Reddit and Quora are having a party with a massive increase in organic traffic. 🎊 They're even strutting their stuff right in the SERP spotlight!

So, if you're creating content, get up close and personal. Share your thoughts, expertise, and put a face to your content. Let Google and users know who's behind the wisdom! 🧐✨

Quick tips for everyone:

Keep creating awesome content with that E-E-A-T flavor! 🌟
Be specific – address those burning questions users have. 🔥
Authorship is now a website must-have, not just a nice touch. 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Now, what's next on your agenda?

>> Do some keyword research – find that sweet spot! 🔍
>> Check out People Also Ask, Social Mentions, and Question-Related Keywords. Know what users want! 💬

Pro Tip: Use the Structured Data Testing Tool by Google allows you to check and validate your structured data markup. It helps identify issues and provides suggestions for improvement.

Stay fresh! 🕵️‍♂️💡

“WOW, do you think you could be any grumpier?”

My son looks up at me with a half-smirk 😏

He’s right, of course - but I’m not gonna admit that just yet 🤣

Even though 99% of the time I’m a happy, creative Sagittarius with a smidge of rebel on the side, occasionally I get irritated and frustrated! Sometimes I am not my best self.

And, this is why I have a big problem with the overused advice “Be your authentic self” 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️ because our authentic self isn’t always our best self - and in business that matters.

Think for a minute about who you are when you show up as your best self.... 💭

How does the best version of you behave and communicate? 🤔

This is where you should place your focus. 🔎

Because as much as I’d like to smooth your ego and say bring ALL of you to your brand - the simplest truth is your brand doesn’t exist for you, it exists for the people you serve.

Now before you get all ‘✋ Hold up lady, I’m not changing for anyone!” I’m not saying you have to bend and bow and sprinkle rainbow glitter everywhere you go.

What I really mean is dial-up who you are when you are being your BEST and put that front and centre.

So tell me, who are you when you show up as your best self? 🌟

And, how can you do more of that?

*Here's a ridiculous photo of me being weird in the park across the street 🤣

There’s truly nothing better than walking into your home after a cold day outside to the smell of dinner on the stove. But, if you are the one who’s cooking dinner, that vision might be far from reality.

This slow cooker chicken taco soup created by Cailtin Boudreau, RD is sure to make your home smell great all day long. Wake up a little earlier than usual and simply combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and hit start. There’s no pre-cooking involved. Plus since many of the ingredients come from a can there’s also very little chopping involved making your prep time quick.

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 chicken breasts

1/2 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 15 oz can fire roasted tomatoes, with juices

1 10 oz can diced tomatoes, with juices

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup frozen corn kernels

6 cups chicken broth

salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings:

Tortilla chips

Sour cream

Cilantro

Diced avocado

Lime juice

Directions:

Add all ingredients (except for toppings) to the slow cooker. Give everything a good stir. Place the lid on a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours.

After 4 (or 8) hours are up, remove chicken and place in a large bowl. Shred it with a fork and return it to the slow cooker. Give soup a good stir. Taste and add salt as pepper, as needed.

Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favourite toppings: tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream, cilantro, diced avocado and a squeeze of lime juice.

Let's expand on point #1. 🌟✨🎉 Defining Your Brand's Identity: Determine Your Brand's Values, Personality, and Target Audience ✨🌟

Creating a successful digital brand requires a strong and distinctive brand identity. Your brand identity encompasses various elements, including your brand's values, personality, and target audience. By carefully defining these aspects, you can establish a unique and authentic presence in the digital landscape. Let's delve into each element and understand its significance in shaping your brand identity. 😊💼

1️⃣ Determine Your Brand's Values:

Your brand values are the guiding principles that reflect what your brand stands for and how it operates. They serve as the moral compass, shaping your brand's behavior, decision-making, and interactions with customers. To define your brand's values, consider the following questions:

❓ What do you want your brand to be known for?

❓ What core beliefs and principles underpin your brand's mission?

❓ What ethical and social responsibilities does your brand uphold? 🌍🤝

By clearly identifying your brand's values, you can align your actions, messaging, and overall brand experience with what matters most to your target audience. 💪🌱

2️⃣ Craft Your Brand's Personality:

Your brand's personality is the human-like character or tone of voice that your brand adopts. It determines how your brand communicates, engages with its audience, and builds relationships. To shape your brand's personality, think about:

❓ How would you describe your brand if it were a person?

❓ What emotions or feelings do you want your brand to evoke?

❓ What tone and language style best represent your brand's character? 😄🔤

Creating a fun, engaging, and emoji-rich tone, as mentioned earlier, can add a touch of personality to your brand's digital presence, making it more relatable and memorable. 😍🎈🌈

3️⃣ Identify Your Target Audience:

Understanding your target audience is crucial for tailoring your brand's messaging, content, and overall brand experience. Consider the following aspects when defining your target audience:

❓ Demographics: Who are your ideal customers in terms of age, gender, location, income level, and other relevant factors?

❓ Psychographics: What are their interests, values, motivations, and lifestyle choices?

❓ Pain Points: What problems or challenges do they face, and how can your brand provide solutions? 😊💡🎯

By gaining a deep understanding of your target audience, you can create targeted marketing campaigns, personalized content, and meaningful connections that resonate with them. 📣🔍🤝

To illustrate the importance of these elements, let's consider an example. Imagine you are creating a digital brand for an eco-friendly, sustainable fashion company targeting environmentally conscious millennials. Your brand's values may revolve around sustainability, ethical sourcing, and promoting a circular economy. Your brand's personality might be youthful, energetic, and optimistic, reflecting the spirit of the millennial generation. By clearly defining these elements, you can attract your target audience by emphasizing the shared values and creating content that resonates with their eco-conscious mindset. 🌿🌎💚

Now it's your turn! In the comments below, we'd love to hear the values you look for in brands. What principles and beliefs matter to you when engaging with a brand? Let's start a conversation and learn from each other's perspectives! 💬👇😃
