Neil Patel on How Marketers Are Spending Their Money in 2025

Neil Patel has published an article on how marketers spend their money in 2025 based on a survey of 11,093 marketers.

He says, “44% of marketers plan to increase their SEO budget. The number 1 reason was that most marketers believe SEO is still alive and doing well, as AI results haven’t affected most people’s traffic drastically.

As for the 39% that plan to keep it the same, the number 1 reason was because it is working.

And for the 17% decrease, there were a few reasons…

  • The fear of algorithm changes, which they didn’t like how their traffic could go up or down, and they have mainly experienced a downward trend.
  • The second most common response was that they were afraid of what search results would look like in the future due to AI.”

Nine Essential Voice Search SEO Tips

Voice search SEO focuses on optimizing content for spoken queries, emphasizing natural language, long-tail keywords, and concise answers. It enhances visibility in voice-activated searches, catering to growing use of virtual assistants.

Search Engine Journal contributor Matt G. Southern has published an article featuring nine practical voice search SEO tips for businesses.

She says, “Whether starting out or looking to improve your strategy, read on for practical tips to succeed in SEO.

1. Master Conversational, Long-Tail Keywords

A key difference between text search and voice search is the use of conversational, long-tail keywords.

For example, someone might type, “best Italian restaurant NYC,” while a voice searcher would ask, “What’s the best Italian restaurant in New York City?”

To improve visibility in voice searches, focus on long-tail keywords that reflect natural speech.

Use question phrases like “what,” “where,” and “how.” Tools like AnswerThePublic and AlsoAsked can help you find common questions in your industry.”
