PageRank is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank web pages in their search engine results. Quality and authentic content helps you to achieve higher PageRank and grow your SEO ranking.

SEMrush contributor Erika Varagouli has published an article citing the reasons why Google PageRank matters in 2020.

Varagouli says, “Step back in time ten years, and PageRank was the SEO metric that everyone talked about.

If you have been working in the industry for more than a few years, you will undoubtedly remember the excitement that came when you heard that there had been an update to the PageRank toolbar.

With any luck, your recent efforts would have delivered an increase in your PageRank score, knowing that this meant that Google was now viewing your site as more authoritative than it previously was.

An increase in your PageRank score was a great demonstrator that your SEO strategy (and, in particular, your link building strategy) was working.

Fast forward to 2020, and PageRank is rarely mentioned.

But that is not because it is no longer important, just that it is no longer a public-facing metric. And when SEOs can no longer measure something, they eventually stop talking about it”.
