Since platforms like Facebook are now offering ad copy A/B tests and demographic details, it allows marketers to run more experiments. Marketers even go a step further and layer in analytics tools to better understand the audience behavior for website visitors. As platforms access website data, algorithms get a better understanding of user intent with updates. This will lead to psychological variables becoming the norm in 2020.

Local SEO may be impacted and new local keywords will pop up. More skilled professionals would mean more noise and competition and. This may lead to search engines tweak their algorithms and ensure that the quality of content remains unaffected.
