Google updated its search quality evaluator guidelines back in August, placing a greater focus on the ‘E-A-T’ principles of expertise, authority and trust.
The first few weeks of the update was characterised by leading brands witnessing significant and sometimes erratic changes in their organic search visibility. Some brands saw their visibility almost wiped out entirely, only to return to normal shortly afterward. Weeks of volatility followed as Google appeared to tweak the dials on the updated algorithm.

Imagine, you are given the task of designing the package for a Soap brand. The first set of questions you would ask are, “Is it a soap bar or gel?”, “What is the quantity?”, “What kind of fragrance does the soap have?”, “What is its shape if it is a bar?”, etc. Now if the client says, “The fragrance and shape haven’t been decided yet. But let’s make the packaging first keeping a generic soap bar in mind. We can think of these things, later.” In this scenario, where would you start? What colours will you use? What will be the messaging on the packaging? What kind of visuals would you use? Will you be able to come up with a design for the packaging without any of these coherent details?

With constantly changing technology, interminable bombarding of content, shrinking attention spans, ad fatigue, post-millennial market outlook, heightened consumer awareness, brand inclination towards experimentation, and the myriad small but significant changes happening around, your whole perspective about content should change. From the what (form) and where (platform) to how (distribution) of content, every single aspect should be probed, catechized, and even aborted, if required.
