It’s basically introduced a new standard to build a lighter, and minimalist version of HTML in order to load the web pages instantly on all mobile devices.

In order to understand their need, ensure that you understand the goals of the user search engine while creating your site’s content. These goals are:
-
Rendering searcher instant answer/feedback.
-
Guiding a visitor in completing their web task or purchase.
-
Driving searcher to the pre-determined location.
To achieve these goals, you first need to understand why a web visitor is accessing your site. This will help you provide them the information they are looking for.
3. Domination of voice search optimization is also SEO Trends.
Being a Google searcher, you must have seen a featured snippet (also known as a direct answer) block at the top of a search engine result page. This particular section displays the answer of a searcher’s question, along with a link from where data was taken. Thus, you can use a great potential to attract more and more web traffic.
And the best part about featured snippet is that Google search becomes more impactful when it considers voice search. Google prefers showing answers to voice searches more often.
It means whenever a searcher generates a voice search for a particular keyword (where your site lists in a featured snippet), Google automatically references your business/brand – by letting you get an extensive branding opportunity.
