It’s certainly no news that Google has recently completely redesigned its Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).

Yes, Google gave searchers more options and ways to find what they are looking for. And this is good news for those of you who utilize these options in your marketing strategy.

However, what does it mean for us, and how will the new changes affect SEO?

Below is a video that kind of puts a little like on the new options and what you can do to target your audience more effectively.

These new search engine options can really boost your SEO efforts.

Talk about really targeting your audience. All I can say is WOW!
