Shocking New Study Reveals True State Of Search


San Diego-based Ignite Visibility recently surveyed over 500 internet users, aged 25-60, to gain insight into how they search, what factors most influence their decision to click, and how closely the search results align with their intent.

Key takeaways from the study include:


  • The majority of respondents are not receptive to ads in the search results. Most (85.2%) preferred to click on organic results, and 66.7% responded that if Google added more ads to the results, they would want to use the search engine less.
  • Written content is still king. Despite the growing emphasis on video and image production, 55% still prefer to see written content in the search results.
  • Web privacy continues to be a concern for users. In the case of ad targeting, 62.1% had no idea why Google was targeting them for specific ads.
  • Ranking #1 isn’t everything. Yes, ranking higher is better, but most respondents looked at more than three search results before deciding to click.
  • Brand awareness matters, but it’s not a deal-breaker. The slight majority, 55%, said that they would only click on a brand they knew in the search results, while 44.9% would still click regardless of they knew the brand.
  • Meta descriptions remain a crucial SEO element. When asked which factor has the most significant impact on their decision to click a result, 62.9% responded it was the description.
  • Good news for Google: most searchers are satisfied with the search results. When asked, 72% replied that the search engine was mostly accurate at matching their queries with search results.
  • Download the full study to learn more.

Some of the responses reinforce time-tested marketing tactics. Content is still king, ads are still frustrating to users, and optimizing for SERP features is critical to search engine success.

But there were certainly a few surprises in the mix.

For example, despite the growing emphasis on multimedia in marketing, it appears that most searchers still prefer to see written results in the search pages.

“There is so much hype lately about other types of content like video killing the demand for the written word. Clearly, text still wins!” says Ignite Visibility CEO John Lincoln. “This is an invaluable point for marketers. Though it’s important to keep a tab on newer trends and techniques, the value of written content can’t be understated.”

But those looking to get ahead in the search results will need to focus on more than just content strategy. They also need a plan in place to capture SERP features and featured snippets, often called no-click results.

These features now occupy a significant portion of search result pages, and if searchers have anything to say about it, they’re here to stay. Most of those surveyed (55%) felt that SERP features were an improvement to the search results.

“Marketers need to change the way they think about visitors,” says Lincoln. “In some cases, they can no longer separate visits from impressions. If a website gets an impression in a Google SERP feature, that should be included in a report. Going forward, we are going to see impression counts in native platforms like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bing, and more on the rise. Visits to websites will go down. However, conversions should remain the same.”

Overall, most feel that the search results have improved over the past year, and they are mostly accurate at matching intent.

This is good news for Google as it continues to prioritize searcher intent. For marketers, it means optimizing for intent will be a critical part of their SEO strategies going forward.

“This project provides us the flexibility to streamline our financial strategy and remain focused on offering seniors exceptional housing and health services,” stated, Dennis P. Kant, Senior Vice President & CFO of St. Ann’s Community.

Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of the St. Ann’s Community Project $108,825,000 Series 2019 Tax-Exempt Fixed Rate Bonds.

St. Ann’s of Greater Rochester (St. Ann’s Community) is a senior housing and health services provider that is the parent company to four residential and long-term care affiliates in the Rochester, NY area. Additionally, St. Ann’s Community partially owns and owns communities outside the Obligated Group.

St. Ann’s Community began a campus-wide master plan in 2015 to continue to reposition itself in a manner to best serve their residents. Phase I (complete) included the relocation of 34 post-acute rehabilitation beds from its Wegman Care Center to the 9th floor of St. Ann’s Home, the largest of their skilled nursing facilities. Phase II (the “Project”) will involve the renovation of St. Ann’s Home floors 3-8 and will result in a net reduction of 96 beds.

Proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds were used by St. Ann’s Community, together with other available funds to, (1) fund costs of the Project, (2) fund Capitalized Interest, (3) refund the outstanding indebtedness of the Obligated Group, (4) fund the termination of existing swaps, (5) fund a Debt Service Reserve Fund, and (6) pay for certain costs of issuance incurred during the financing. The Series 2019 Bonds are non-rated and were issued through the Monroe County Industrial Development Corporation with an aggregate yield to maturity of 4.297% on the entire issue. Ziegler was able to secure aggressive call provisions on behalf of St. Ann’s Community, with the bonds callable in 6-years at a price of 103% declining to par in 9-years.

Intolerance Lab Expands their Testing Portfolio


Intolerance Test

Company Logo

Intolerance Lab, the leading provider of intolerance testing in England, today announced a significant expansion in the types of tests they offer. The company has already established itself as a frontrunner for testing food tolerances against 700+ items. They have received an overwhelming response for their services and are now venturing into new tests that further add to the value they can deliver to their customers.

The reputed company is now going to offer testing for e-numbers, food additives and vitamin deficiencies.

Food intolerances impact up to 8% of children and 2% of adults in the UK. There are 2 million people who have been diagnosed with a food allergy in the country alone. Unfortunately, there is no cure for these allergies. Intolerance Lab is helping these patients to quickly identify their condition and create strict diet plans to tackle their issue. The new tests announced by the company work towards the unified goal of helping British people live a more comfortable and healthier life.

Vitamin deficiency is an even bigger issue facing the UK. For instance, a recent national survey revealed that as many as 1 in every 5 individuals in the UK suffer from a Vitamin D deficiency. Similarly, a high 50.7% of the UK families are now known to consume ultra-processed food leading to increased levels of food additives in the body. In the wake of these findings and customer feedback, Intolerance Labs has turned its attention on the spike in the unhealthy food consumption practices in the country. Their new series of tests are designed to make people aware of the substances they are consuming on a daily basis through their food and the impact it may have on their health.

According to David Hall, “We are constantly striving to offer better services to our customers at affordable rates. We are proud to be in a position where we can make a difference in the everyday life of a Brit and allow them to live a healthier and more fulfilling life.”

With its new repertoire of tests, Intolerance Labs will now be able to generate extensive reports that will empower their clients to make better lifestyle choices and strengthen their future health.

About Intolerance Lab: Intolerance Labs provides testing services to help people better understand and optimize their diet. The company is headquartered in the Viking Industrial Park in Jarrow, England. The company specializes in testing for food and non-food intolerance, e-numbers, and vitamin deficiencies in people.

23andMe Helping Customers Make Positive Changes to Their Health


A new survey of 23andMe’s Health + Ancestry customers conducted by M/A/R/C® Research found that more than three-quarters reported that after receiving their personalized genetic reports they made at least one positive change in their health behavior. Recently, 23andMe Genetics Trends Expert, Madeline Lynch, and customer Michelle Martinez, teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss how genetic information can help customers be more proactive about their health.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/qTynVMDVcKY

Designed by 23andMe and M/A/R/C Research, researchers asked 23andMe Health + Ancestry customers about the overall impact of their 23andMe experience, regardless of their results. Among those who responded to the survey 76 percent said they made one or more healthy changes to their lifestyles. Of those who responded to the survey:


  • 55 percent reported healthier eating habits including eating more vegetables and cutting out sugar and fast food
  • 45 percent said they were exercising more
  • 42 percent said they were getting more sleep

Sleep, diet and exercise are key to good health, so understanding what might motivate people to make meaningful and positive changes is important.

Madeline Lynch:

Madeline Lynch is the Genetics Trends Expert at 23andMe. She serves as a subject matter expert and company spokesperson for media engagements, the analyst community, online communities, and the general public at large. Her responsibilities on the customer care team include providing input on prioritization and resolution of customer-facing issues and working directly with cross-functional teams to influence and support development of new and existing communications materials and messaging from the perspective of the customer. She holds a BA from University of California, Davis.

About Michelle Martinez:

Michelle Martinez is a 51-year-old lab assistant from Arlington, Texas. Michelle was inspired to order a 23andMe Health + Ancestry kit to help prepare for any potential genetic health risks, due to several serious health risks running in her family. When she opened her Genetic Weight wellness report, she saw that she is genetically predisposed to weigh less than average. She thought, “I’ve been denying my genetics and just falling into bad habits. I’m not being my best self.” That report, along with the knowledge of lifestyle and environmental factors that affect one’s health, inspired Michelle to make better lifestyle decisions like eating healthier. She has since lost more than 50 pounds, and gained confidence in being in her own skin. She believes that her weight loss journey is one of patience and acceptance with and of herself — no matter her size.

Palette Life Sciences Launches MySolesta.com, a New Online Resource for Bowel Incontinence to Support Healthcare Professionals, Caregivers and Patients


News Image

We are confident that MySolesta.com will greatly help patients affected by bowel incontinence, as well as caregivers and the healthcare professionals treating this condition by providing them with valuable information and connecting patients and HCPs – Rich Low, Palette Life Sciences

Palette Life Sciences, Inc., today announces the launch of MySolesta.com, an online educational resource specifically designed for healthcare professionals (HCPs), caregivers, and patients suffering from bowel incontinence, also known as fecal incontinence (FI). The site provides valuable information, education and resources focused on the causes, risk factors, symptoms and treatment options for FI, including Solesta® – the quick, nonsurgical treatment for bowel incontinence.(1)

MySolesta.com empowers patients and caregivers by providing them valuable information and connects them with physicians in their area who specialize in treating bowel incontinence. In addition, the site includes information and resources pertaining to reimbursement assistance for treatments.

Bowel incontinence or fecal incontinence affects millions of people worldwide. Research indicates that up to 18% of the general population worldwide suffers from bowel incontinence.(2) However, due to the shame and emotional toll of this condition, many people avoid seeking bowel incontinence treatment so the number of cases is likely higher.(3)

Bowel incontinence can present as anal leakage of loose stool, solid stool or mucus. Such uncontrollable anal discharge, can be upsetting, embarrassing, and may discourage patients to talk with their doctor about their bowel incontinence challenges.

For physicians, the site provides simple and straightforward information on training and certification for administering Solesta; HCPs can simply follow three easy steps at MySolesta.com.

Solesta is the only FDA-approved minimally invasive treatment for bowel incontinence. It is an easily injectable, viscous gel made from two polysaccharides; Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA™) and Dextranomer (Dx) microspheres. The Solesta implant is stable, remains in position, and does not disappear over time.(3,4) Solesta is the only injectable gel to be administered in an outpatient setting without the need for anesthesia.(1) Studies have shown that Solesta can help patients return to a more active lifestyle (socializing, going to work, etc.) and reduce overall depression and embarrassment associated with their bowel control problems.(5)

“For patients looking for a quick, nonsurgical fecal incontinence treatment, Solesta may be an ideal choice,” said Dr. Zuri Murell, Los Angeles based colorectal surgeon and specialist. “My patients who opted for Solesta were pleased with the results. With the launch of the new MySolesta.com website, I hope patients find comfort knowing there is an effective treatment for their condition that can improve their quality of life and that they are not alone.”

“We are confident that MySolesta.com will greatly help patients affected by bowel incontinence, as well as caregivers and the healthcare professionals treating this condition by providing them with valuable information and connecting patients and HCPs,” said Richard Low, Head of Marketing, Palette Life Sciences.

About Solesta

Solesta, a Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA™) and dextranomer gel, is a tissue bulking agent that is injected into the submucosal layer of the anal canal for treatment of Bowel Incontinence in adults. It’s a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that has been proven effective for up to 36 months. Learn more at MySolesta.com.

About Palette Life Sciences

Palette Life Sciences is focused on providing a wide range of products and services that improve the quality of life for patients. Led by experienced healthcare executives, the initial company strategy is to transform applications of existing technologies to bring forward novel solutions for underserved conditions. Palette Life Sciences, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pharmanest AB headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Learn more at MySolesta.com and palettelifesciences.com.

The T2 Iso-Trainer Launches on Kickstarter Introducing a One-of-a-Kind, Compact and Portable Fitness Device


News Image

I worked with Dr. Anthony Abbott, … the exercise physiologist who developed NASA’s ‘Man in Outer Space’ to help create the ultimate workout device. Dr. Abbott told me this device is a far superior improvement over what they developed for NASA and the most effective product on the market.

The T2 Iso-Trainer, a portable and uncompromising fitness device, launched on Kickstarter today. The new workout tool provides the most comprehensive and dynamic workout experience that saves time by working users harder and faster than any other device available, no matter when they opt to workout or where they happen to be. The T2 Iso-Trainer combines over ten training methods – Isokinetic, Isometric, Iso-Elastic, Suspension, Plyometric, Bungee, Aerobic, Flexibility, Functional and HIIT– into one system so the user can move freely from one exercise to the next without ever letting go of the handles, or changing bands or plates.

“The T2 Iso-Trainer was inspired by friction devices created for astronauts. I worked with Dr. Anthony Abbott, founder of the Fitness Institute International, and the exercise physiologist who developed NASA’s ‘Man in Outer Space’ to help create the ultimate workout device,” said Steve Kushner, Inventor of the T2 Iso-Trainer. “Dr. Abbott told me this device is a far superior improvement over what they developed for NASA and the most effective product on the market.”

At the heart of the T2 Iso-trainer is the patented die-cast metal Force Lock Resistance Housing. Unlike a pulley, the T2 Housing has no moving parts. It brilliantly multiplies the resistive effort and pits muscle group against muscle group, which the team refers to as “Body Fight.”

Combined with a custom T2 Power Bungee, the T2 Iso-Trainer becomes the T2 Iso-Trainer Pro. This expanded system generates a powerhouse workout that will train harder and faster than anything anyone has experienced before. The patented Iso-Elastic exercises merge Isokinetic and elastic band training while automatically and intuitively engaging the “Body Fight” system of training. Quick connect carabiners allow users to instantly take the Power Bungee in and out of play with a single click.

The foundation of the T2 Iso-Trainer is the science of Isokinetic and Iso-Elastic movement, which is proven to duplicate the results of most forms of weight training. Unlike free weights and cable machines that have degrees of resistance like a bell curve, the T2 Iso-Trainer makes muscles experience a constant level of resistance throughout the entire range of motion. The result is greater muscular activation, faster muscle fatigue and dramatically shorter workout times.

Users can discover the synergy and speed of on-the-fly intensity and exercise changes with no plates, bands or pins to change. The T2-Iso Trainer allows easy movement from one training method and exercise to the next and instantly accommodates to the ability and fitness level of the user. Whether someone is a professional athlete or just starting to exercise, the T2 Iso-Trainer is ideal for any level of training. Users can instantly adjust the resistance by slowing down or speeding up the movement while the T2 Housing does the rest.

For those on the go, the adjustable anchor strap attaches to any secure anchor point and includes a specially designed hinge-side-only door jamb anchor for high, middle and low-level attachments. This allows users the ability to workout with their T2 Iso-Trainer wherever they are. If no external anchor point is available, the T2 Iso-Trainer allows them to become the anchor. The T2 Iso-Trainer also comes with a convenient and durable drawstring backpack with extra space for water bottles, towels and whatever else is needed during a workout.

Whether working out at home, at the gym or while traveling, the T2 Iso-Trainer is built for on-the-go use. The T2-Iso Trainer is available now at a discounted rate for a limited time only. To place a pre-order, visit pr.go2.fund/t2iso.
