www.manojblogszone.comAs per social media forum, Google is going to offer app indexing. There is big complexity in app ranking. Since business owners realize importance and benefits of  online visibility for apps so 2016 is hence going to be interesting for app future.

Why only Apps and Not Mobile optimized site ?

With the penetration of apps, mobile-optimized site importance has dropped down because apps can do everything that websites can.

7.Digital Assistants will lead to a new kind of optimization :

As pwww.manojblogszone.comer Forbes : ” Search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising are two highly popular strategies for getting your site seen by thousands of previously unknown visitors. But the rise of digital assistants is going to lead to a new kind of optimization. Digital assistants like Siri and Cortana do utilize traditional search engines, but only when necessary to find information. The key to optimizing in this new format is to make sure your business information is easily accessible to these assistants, rather than trying to funnel people to your site specifically. “
