Google has become synonymous with searching for and finding answers. But it\u2019s not the only place you can be found. Here are four other search engine platforms you shouldn’t underestimate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Users are served images related to a keyword. Google use a combination of the metadata related to the image AND the content behind the image (i.e. landing page content) when choosing images for results pages.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DuckDuckGo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Privacy is the main concern for DuckDuckGo.

You\u2019re\u202fnot able to submit your\u202fURL\u202ffor faster crawling results in DuckDuckGo so it\u2019s important to utilize linking\u202fas a tactic to be recognized by crawlers quicker.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Bing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yahoo\u2019s competition to Google\u2019s Search Engine, Bing,\u202fserves results\u202fbased on keywords, whether typed\u2026or spoken. Bing is the primary search engine is used to answer queries from Amazon\u2019s Alexa and Siri. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all know YouTube and its power as the largest video creation platform, but really \u2013 it\u2019s a search engine that serves videos based on queries. Optimizing your SEO on YouTube mainly comes down to keywords and audience engagement.\u202fKeywords are used by YouTube to match users searches to related content.\u202fAudience engagement is\u202fthe measurement of a video\u2019s\u202fsuccess according to the viewers. Engagement\u202fmetrics include likes\/dislikes, comments,\u202faverage\u202fwatch time, CTR and more.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
