There are so many digital marketing channels nowadays. However, search engine optimization (SEO) only targets one channel, which limits your brand's reach. It's time to pivot to the new SEO: Search Everywhere Optimization (SEO 2.0).
Search Everywhere Optimization is a strategy to optimize all of your content for all of the digital marketing channels, including:
Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo!
Social media platforms like LinkedIn and X
Social media image platforms like Instagram and Snapchat
Social media video platforms like YouTube and TikTok
Visual search engines like Pinterest and Tumblr
Third-party sellers like Amazon and eBay
App Store Optimization (ASO) for the App Store or Google Play
AI optimization for Claude and ChatGPT
Voice search optimization for Siri and Alexa

Five Strategies To Develop Your Brand's Search Everywhere Optimization Strategy
Adopting a Search Everywhere Optimization strategy expands your reach to capitalize on more opportunities in the market. Here are five strategies to set up your marketing operations to optimize multi-channel content:
1. Optimize For Multi-Channel Publishing
Identify your digital marketing channels and understand the requirements for high-performing content for each channel. Use platform-native tools like TikTok's Creative Center and Pinterest's Trends. Adapt content formats and strategies to fit each platform's unique algorithm (such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Amazon, and Pinterest), but also try to identify areas for cross-publishing for workflow efficiency. Further, use cross-promotion tactics to share content across platforms and integrate consistent messaging (for example, embedding TikTok videos on your website or YouTube).
2. Optimize for Multi-Channel Discovery
Search Everywhere Optimization helps you increase visibility and discoverability access platforms. Start by tailoring your keyword research to each channel's unique search behaviors. For instance, focus on short-term trends for TikTok and product-specific keywords for Amazon. Then, make sure to naturally integrate these keywords into titles, captions, and hashtags, keeping search intent in mind.
You will also optimize your content for discovery on AI-driven tools, like ChatGPT, by using well-structured data, solid citations, and showing your authority on the topic. For voice search, adapt your SEO strategies by using more natural, conversational language, especially on platforms like Google and Amazon. Further, you will need to optimize your app store listings to include feature-based search terms. Use A/B testing to refine your approach and make sure your product visuals are high quality to boost both visibility and conversion.
3. Organize A Content Plan
Your content strategy should always begin with clear business goals. Before you start creating content, define the objectives you want to achieve—whether it's driving traffic, increasing engagement, or boosting sales. With your outcome in mind, organize your content production to align with the strengths of each platform. For example, on TikTok, short-form videos perform best due to the platform's fast-paced, entertainment-focused environment. On Pinterest, high-quality images and infographics resonate more because users tend to save and share visually appealing, informative content.Â
Make sure to create a plan to develop and deliver content. For example, depending on the platform, you will also need to plan to add proper tags that reflect trending keywords, craft thumbnails that stand out in search results, and write keyword-rich descriptions that match user search queries. You should also consider including timestamps for longer videos and closed captions to make your content more accessible, further enhancing your visibility on different platforms.
4. Automate Multi-Channel Publishing
Managing content across multiple platforms and channels can be overwhelming, but automation tools simplify the process. You can schedule posts, manage comments, and track analytics from one central hub. Consider tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social to streamline your publishing across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Automation not only saves you time but publishes your content at the best times for engagement across different audiences. By automating your publishing, you can maintain a consistent presence without needing to be manually involved in every post.
5. Stay ActiveÂ
Staying active is more than just posting regularly. You need to also respond to comments, initiate conversations, and become part of trending discussions. Set aside time every day to interact with your followers directly. Also, leverage social listening tools like Brand24 or Mention to stay on top of trends and customer feedback. Automating some of this interaction through centralized tools can help maintain your presence while freeing up time for more strategic tasks.Â
Further, every piece of content you publish should provide data that helps inform your future strategy. Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as engagement rates, impressions, click-through rates, and conversions allows you to see what's working and what isn't. Use analytics platforms like Google Analytics, social media insights, and heatmaps to dive deeper into how users are interacting with your content. By analyzing this data, you can adjust your brand's content strategy to focus on what your audience loves, leading to improved performance across all platforms.Â
By working these strategies into your marketing plan, you can shift from search engine optimization to Search Everywhere Optimization. There are a number of tools that can help make this challenge easier.
Your Search Everywhere Optimization Toolkit
Depending on your business model, you will need some of the following tools to implement a Search Everywhere Optimization strategy:
A content calendar to plan, track, and schedule content cross-platform.Â
Keyword research tools like Google Trends, AnswerThePublic, and SEMrush to identify relevant queries.
Social listening tools like Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Brandwatch to track trending topics, hashtags, and conversations across platforms.Â
Automation tools like Zapier or Buffer help automate repetitive tasks such as posting across platforms or integrating data collection from different analytics sources into one dashboard.
Content repurposing tools like Lumen5 (to turn blog content into video) or Canva (to design visual content) help repurpose and format content for various platforms like Pinterest, YouTube, and Instagram without having to create content from scratch for each.
SEO tools like Yoast SEOÂ (for websites) and VidIQÂ (for YouTube) optimize your content to SEO best practices so it is higher in search results and engages a larger audience.
Influencer platforms like BuzzSumo or Upfluence help identify influencers for collaboration.
Marketing analytics tools like Qualtrics or Hubspot to track campaign success across all platforms.Â
A content management system (CMS) like WordPress or Drupal to organize and optimize your content for search engines and social media.
With the right digital marketing toolkit, your organization will be able to manage the demands of multi-channel publishing, monitoring, and growth. You'll also be able to find opportunities for cross-platform publishing that can streamline your workflow and reduce the content demands on your marketing team.Â
Your Secret Weapon: Search Experience Optimization (SXO)Â
If you really want to implement a successful Search Everywhere Optimization strategy, you need to focus on Search Experience Optimization (SXO). SXO focuses on the user first. It makes sure that your customers get content that they really enjoy–content that is informative, entertaining, and leaves a positive brand impression. SXO focuses both on the technical and aesthetic aspects of the content experience and makes sure that content is clear and engaging, has fast loading speeds, and is easy to navigate. With a smart SXO strategy, you'll attract visitors and keep them around by offering the best possible experience.
The thing is, not only do your customers love SXO, but digital marketing platforms do as well.Â
SXO optimizes your content to perform better across all search platforms. Whether it's voice search on Alexa, video search on YouTube, or social search on TikTok, SXO makes sure your content is optimized to be found and provides value to your ideal customer. SXO delivers high-quality content that creates a seamless user experience across all platforms. The result? More brand visibility, more brand trust, and more sales.
