An SEO strategy in 2026 will prioritize AI-driven content optimization, voice search, and user intent over traditional keyword targeting. Success will depend on creating authentic, experience-rich content aligned with search engine personalization and evolving algorithms.

Search Engine Land contributor Maria Georgieva has published an article on SEO strategy in 2026.

She says, “2026 is around the corner – and the SEO space has never been this noisy. Every day brings something new.

It’s easy to get stuck in panic mode, worrying you’re missing the next big thing, or to spend hours scrolling LinkedIn threads that lead nowhere.

In both cases, you end up with nothing concrete – and with stakeholders still expecting clear impact.

As we head into 2026, the real challenge is building a strategy with discipline – one that cuts through the noise and balances:

  • Short-term wins that prove impact and build trust.
  • Long-term bets that future-proof visibility.
  • The boring but essential, business-as-usual (BAU) tasks that keep your foundations strong.”
