Are Google Answer Boxes good for SEO?

Google answer boxes are awesome for SEO!

Remember Google tries to answer your question in as little clicks as possible, so if you ask a

  • who is?
  • what is?
  • where is?
  • etc….

question and they have an answer google will put it on the page (instead of giving you only a link to the page with the answer).

 

For example if you want to know when an flight arrives you won’t have to click into airline website any more and click around, you can just type into google “when does flight ua 405 arrive” or “what is the arrival time of UA 405” and google will display the closest results, including Terminal and Gate, it’s just wonderful!

So if you can get your site to show up in one of the google answer boxes that will definitely help with SEO.

You get almost a SERP 0-zero position and many people will click through if they want more information.

 

Like this example of a buddy of mine who wrote an article on “How to slide on your longboard”

how-to-slide-longboard

There was just an article written to explain a how to do sliding on a longboard, and the information is clear and bullet points.

Google recognized this as a great answer to the question and now it helps to drive traffic to his longboard shop website.

Now of course the trick is to figure out how to think inside the box.

Sample on SEO for Drop Through Longboard Deck

Lets say you want to promote link to a drop through longboard deck, or all drop through longboards (like we did for one of our customers).

you want to get info on

  • drop through longboard
  • drop through longboards
  • drop through longboard decks
  • drop through longboards decks
  • drop thru longboard
  • drop thru longboards
  • drop thru longboard decks
  • etc.

 

make sure you have links with exact match keywords as well as lsi word (similar words but not exactly the same).

The google keyword planner:

Google Keyword Planner – Google AdWords: Keyword …

is a great resource for this.

SEO wiki definition

SEO via Wikipedia:

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine‘s unpaid results—often referred to as “natural,” “organic,” or “earned” results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
