And that means without the words &#8216;machine learning&#8217; or &#8216;artificial intelligence&#8217;. Let&#8217;s speak plainly. Google wants to predict what humans will search for. What their intent is while they are searching and the next search you are thinking of. Not while you&#8217;re typing the search query into Google but before you have thought about it. Like pre-empting you the way your Mom, partner or best friend can. You know what I mean?<\/p>\n<p>One way to do this is to ensure you&#8217;re writing relevant content. Sounds simple right. Except it requires you to get behind or inside the thought process of your customers. Start by <a title=\"persona SEO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/customerpersonas-for-content-marketing\/\">creating personas<\/a>, asking what your customer segments desire, dislike, fear and are concerned about. This creates questions that your content can answer. Content that is indexed by Google&#8217;s machine learning and artificial intelligence technology called &#8216;Rank Brain&#8217;. Makes sense right? They want to rank your brain and put a cognitive predictive sequence in place on what your brain wants to know as you search.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/brain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-706 alignright\" alt=\"brain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/brain.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/brain.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/brain-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of our global clients who understand this Google algorithm is <a title=\"Wise-Sync\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wise-sync.com\">Wise-Sync<\/a>.
