2. Search engines, especially Google, is now focusing on CTRs for displaying results on the SERPs. We all knew it but it is now almost certain that the sites at the top are the ones that have a higher CTR.

3.  Search results are getting more and more customized. Relevance being the key focus for search engines.

4. Local optimized sites, if they have a decent CTR, will receive preference when search is conducted from that GEO area.

5. The extent of information that one can get on searching on search engines is still not comparable with any other platform. On any of the major search engines, if you type in anything, you are sure to get some results, and relevant results!

Because of these practices, searchers continue to find organic search very relevant. Moreover, more and more B2B  marketers are reporting higher conversions from organic traffic.
