Stories on Social Media
"Stories" format is wildly popular on social media. However, these stories are limited to the walled gardens of 4 social media apps and do not rank on Google.
The Stories Trend
"Stories" are a craze on social media. Stories format is the hottest new trend led by Instagram and Snapchat. In the last few years, the trend of Stories on social media has picked up in a big way. Owing to their visual engagement, they have become ever so popular with users and social networking apps are vigorously promoting Story creation.
Huge Demand for Stories Format
According to a survey conducted by Forrester, 60% of weekly mobile content users consume tappable stories daily on social media.
In their survey of 2,062 smartphone users who consume publisher content at least weekly from their mobile device, it was found that:
74% of smartphone users read or view social stories at least weekly.
74% of 18-to 24-year-olds and 68% of 25-to 34-year-olds view social stories daily.
Due to technical limitations, the Stories format was not seen in use on websites till now. But that's about to change, thanks to AMP technology by Google. Websites too can now ride on the Stories trend, with the advantage of being search engine-friendly. These Stories are searchable, linkable and shareable on the web and are indexed by search engines.
Stories on Google
Have you recently noticed a new "Visual Stories" section in Google mobile search results? It looks like this:
The web pages listed in there are called AMP Stories or Visual Stories. They are like the Stories on social media but Visual Stories have a huge advantage that they can rank on the 1st page of Google search results, as shown above.
Ranking Opportunity
The "Visual Stories" Section
Being web pages, AMP Stories compete for rankings in regular search results. Furthermore, the upcoming "Visual Stories" section will make PositionZero rankings possible, which means that by having your content in the AMP Stories format you'll be able to rank on the first page of Google!
Google had announced about this Visual Stories section in the Tokyo AMP Conference in 2019.
We are now seeing this new section being tested, indicating that Google is about to launch it. It's only in mobile results for now. Soon, they will launch it in a big way.
Adsense ads will mostly be introduced in the first quarter of 2020. For updates, follow us on social media or bookmark this page.
Why This is a Huge Opportunity
Google can send umpteen times more traffic to your content than all social media combined, if you rank in the 1st page results for the keywords your prospects search. What if you can rank on highly popular keywords, that too in a section that is so visual and thus, cannot be ignored easily? This opens up a huge opportunity for those who wish to make it big online. AMP Stories are the biggest SEO opportunity of the decade.
