Digital SEO Marketing - The Battle to learn what Google is actually 'not providing' you


Digital SEO Marketing is a daunting and complicated area, and some of the ways that makes it even more challenging is the way that Google is making it harder to find information. I am not often one to complain about the way that Google develops - for the most part they are moving to make the SEO 'game' a more trustworthy a value driven sector, but some things are still frustrating. So what am I complaining about here? Well allow me to try and explain it this way.

No matter how you plan to structure your keyword research, everything starts with a particular core concept, one that you must build by checking out your metrics and Google Analytics.

The idea is that from this main idea and keyword, you then put together a seed list of terms, expanding through related terms and synonyms of your primary concept. The expansion of terms will then begin to be tailored towards SEO ideas, content marketing, online marketing and other things to consider.

At one point, Google was content to make all of its searcher keyword data available for free to those wanting to conduct research. However, this has all changed with the modifications made to Google's policy and the role that '(Not Provided)' now plays.

Google has made a decision though that they are going to lower the access to the data obtained by specific searchers. This features those who are logged into a Google account such as Gmail and Google+, as well as anyone using recent updates of Mozilla Firefox. The secure searchers are indicated in the search result site's domain including 'https' rather than 'http'.

According to the Not Provided site, www.NotprovidedCount.com, this influences an ever increasing amount of data, being upwards of 80 %. This implies that the days of simple and free access to marketing reports through Google Analytics accounts are at an end. Rather, you will have to invest in a Google AdWords advertising account if you want to use Google's proprietary information.


There are a variety of good keyword analysis tools in the market in this day and age, however an SEO company is an invaluable resource. With the changing nature of keywords since Hummingbird, and the issues of 'Not Provided', it seems to be that an SEO company may be one of the fastest ways to learn the real metrics for many specific niche areas. The main worry that is raised by this is how it influences the small businesses in Gold Coast that are attempting to conduct some DIY SEO who don't always want to run a full SEO campaign or invest too much money in AdWords or AdSense. Where this goes next in 2016, only time will tell. But if you are looking out for more information on ways that you can try and get more accurate info and metrics that will actually help you, consider approaching an SEO Agency. Every agency is different, so do some research and find one that is best for you.
