What Are the Most Important Google Ranking Factors?

[back2form]

According to me, Some of the most important Google ranking factors are:​

Relevant and high-quality content: Content that’s comprehensive and satisfies users’ search intent

Backlinks: External links pointing to your website

User experience: Includes factors such as easy navigation, mobile-friendliness, and fast loading time.

You missed the most important one: internal linking, especially linking to pillar pages or money pages from the supporting pages, as well as interlinking within the supporting pages of the same cluster.

Plenty of things have changed since Google started implementing AI into its own algorithms and structures. Now, everything is much more complicated - it's no longer just a keyword-based "game" where you can simply build around and follow specific factors. Instead, it's more focused on user intent.

In the past, for example, "men playing football" and "footballs playing men" would have returned the same results - which is definitely not the case anymore.

For a local business :

Local Citations, Local Schema, Keyword you are targeting in the URL.

These three.

I personally think backlinks but that's just me.

Luck plays in a big role too

So from what I see nothing has changed its just that with AI coming in place people have started to use garbage content and hope that they rank?

I believe it's user interaction. How your first 5-10 visitors behave on your page is the most critical part of the game. Google will rank your page relatively high right after indexation for half a day or a day. People will come, and Google will decide your page's fate based on how those people will interact with your content

This is also similar to how YouTube works basically the user has to watch the video till the end then that's an advantage so indirectly it's all there and related

Every SEO talks about backlinks. Almost none of them talk about internal links correctly

 

[Jake]

I feel like dofollow links!

Being lucky when rolling a dice

I think content is the most important thing here. Focus on quality content. Everyother thing will follow.

and UX as well.

 

[ThunderDigitals]

Most important is keyword research. If you can do that well then you can easily rank with crappy content.

Yup, you want to pass link equity from the highest authority to the most competitive and vice versa. Having clear knowledge of what sort of intent each page will satisfy for the searcher is also much needed nowadays.
