Some will no doubt say this was the year when voice search really took off – with more progression to come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2018 is already pitched as a big one for mobile, as Google moves to its mobile first index, and we expect to see a greater uptake of other technologies such as VR and programmatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"digital-marketing-in-2017\">Digital marketing in 2017\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>We’re lucky to work in an industry where things change frequently and we can enjoy new opportunities through developing technologies and techniques that adapt to an evolving landscape. Throughout it all, we stay true to common values of ROI, data-driven insight and user-led best practice – at the same time, search engines like Google bring new shape to the decisions we make and, every now and again, even go as far as to tell us what we should be doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year opened with a focus on web security. Aaron \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fchrome-just-got-serious\u002F\">posted a blog back in January\u003C\u002Fa> all about SSL certificates and how they were going to become even more important in 2017. Today, websites like \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fletsencrypt.org\u002F\">Let’s Encrypt\u003C\u002Fa> make security certificates freely accessible; we’d still highly recommend any website owner ensure their website is using an up to date SSL certificate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In February, we \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fis-google-poised-to-shake-up-recruitment-seo\u002F\">spotted a change in Google’s layout\u003C\u002Fa> that brought the recruitment industry into focus with the introduction of the jobs pack. At the time, there was a lot of buzz around the changing role of Google and how it was tapping into this highly lucrative industry. It’s likely we’re still to see the full effects of this, but it no doubt brought added interest to the whole idea of featured snippets – something that’s been a consistent theme throughout the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>March was the month when Google announced \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fgoogle-adwords-announce-exact-match-changes\u002F\">changes to its ‘exact match’ model\u003C\u002Fa> that would change the way we use match types on Google AdWords. It also gave further weight to the abilities of Rankbrain and other algorithm improvements which made it possible for the search giant to confidently make decisions based on the semantic relationships between keywords – basically, it now understood that one meaning can be conveyed in multiple ways, and encouraged us to optimise and advertise accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in April, we were thrilled to \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fbest-small-ppc-agency-europe\u002F\">win the title of Best Small PPC Agency at the European Search Awards\u003C\u002Fa>, in recognition of the incredible results achieved across our paid advertising clients. Our SEO team was also recognised, as was our integrated approach which comprises organic, paid and design\u002Fdevelopment elements to drive high ROIs for our clients’ businesses; we were shortlisted in a number of categories of the European Search Awards, including Best Small SEO Agency and Best Integrated Campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3554\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F05\u002FdORxec27-european-search-award-winners.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&h=1000&q=90&w=1892\" alt=\"european search awards winners\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Link building has remained an essential component in successful SEO this year – and we believe it will continue to be so well into 2018 and beyond. In line with this, \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fgoogle-updates-link-building-guidelines-webmasters\u002F\">Google provided updated link building guidelines\u003C\u002Fa> back in May, ensuring that digital marketers were always adhering (as we always do here) to best practice and the provision of exceptional user experience above and beyond the pursuit of higher ranking positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>June was another fantastic month for us as an agency as \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fimpression-wins-rar-digital-strategy-award\u002F\">we were awarded the prize for Digital Strategy at the RAR Digital Awards\u003C\u002Fa>. RAR (Recommended Agencies Register) is a platform which relies solely on the feedback of clients to assess the quality of agencies like ours; our win in their awards was testament to the quality of reviews we receive from our clients, so to all of you who reviewed us, a huge thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In July, we reported that Google had been \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fgoogle-fine-affect-digital-marketing\u002F\">hit by a record fine for favouring its own shopping service\u003C\u002Fa> over competitor sites. The outcome still to be reached, this was a controversial decision and undoubtedly one that, once concluded, will affect the way businesses advertise online. Keep an eye on our blog for more information as it becomes available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Google continued to invest in a range of new tools for marketers this year, and in August, released a new unified ‘Global Site Tag’. This is intended to achieve a unified tagging method that can, in time, combine tag requirements for Analytics, Optimize and conversion.js; \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fgoogle-analytics-new-gtag-js\u002F\">find out how to implement it for yourself here\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By September, buzz around Google’s upcoming mobile-first index was reaching its peak and as a result, more businesses than ever were considering how their mobile strategy would adapt to the changes. As we know, Google will be rolling out its mobile-first approach to indexing throughout 2018, meaning that it will consider mobile factors before desktop when considering which websites should rank where. This also means that SEOs need to adapt to ensure they keep their clients’ sites up to standard; \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fadapting-seo-workflow-suit-mobile-first-mentality\u002F\">check out our blog post on how to adapt SEO workflows for mobile first indexing here\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drum is a highly respected publication in the digital marketing industry and in October, we were thrilled to be named in the top 3 search agencies in their annual \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fdrum-top-100-agencies\u002F\">Top 100 Agencies report\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3555\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F05\u002FPywLGlse-impression-wins-rar-digital-strategy-award-1.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&h=1000&q=90&w=1892\" alt=\"impression-wins-rar-digital-strategy-award\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re advertising online, you’re no doubt aware of the many changes that have faced Facebook advertisers this year, including tighter regulations around targeting and transparency on the social platform. In November, we reported how one of those changes – specifically around transparency – \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fspying-facebook-competitors-get-easier\u002F\">would enable advertisers to effectively ‘spy’ on their competitors\u003C\u002Fa>.

This year, we took to the high seas of the River Trent for a fun-filled voyage followed by a night out in town. In retrospect, we might have checked the dress code to see that ‘fancy dress’ actually meant ‘formal dress’, but we loved our pirate theme – as the many photos over on our \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Fimpression\">Facebook page\u003C\u002Fa> show!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We returned to the scene of the last year’s Christmas party a couple of weeks ago, enjoying the Best Parties Ever hospitality, this time with a carnival theme.
