Woman makes hand gesture towards her computer that looks like she is using Google BERT.

Google Bert is a Google algorithm designed to improve the way the search engine understands what people are looking for. It stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. In simple terms, it is a technology that helps Google understand search queries better. Especially for complex phrases or queries.

The genesis

Google Bert was launched in October 2019 as a major update to Google’s search algorithm. It was a major step forward in understanding natural language processing by machines. This update was in response to the growing need for more accurate search results. Especially for longer searches or queries in colloquial language.

TriFact365 uses this technology to improve its customers’ user experience. By leveraging natural language processing capabilities, we can further improve our document recognition and invoice processing technologies.

Laws and regulations

In terms of laws and regulations surrounding the use of Google Bert, there are no specific guidelines exclusive to this algorithm. However, using Google Bert has implications for search engine optimisation (SEO). It is important to produce high-quality, relevant content that matches user intent, as Google Bert is focused on understanding the context of searches and delivering more relevant search results. It is essential to remain ethical and transparent in using SEO strategies to improve user experience and comply with Google’s guidelines.

Why would you want to use it

As an organisation, it is essential to keep abreast of the latest developments in search engine optimisation, and Google Bert is an important part of that. By embracing Google Bert, you can improve your search engine ranking and better match users’ search intent. This can lead to more relevant traffic to your website, which can ultimately result in higher conversion rates and more sales.

This is how to use this technique properly as an organisation

To make the most of Google Bert, it is important to create high-quality content aimed at answering questions and solving problems of your target audience. Make sure your content is natural and conversational. Also avoid using jargon or overly technical language. Also use structured data and mark up your content in a way that makes it easier for Google Bert to understand the context and meaning.

Shortcomings

While it is a powerful tool for search engine optimisation. But there are also some shortcomings. One of the biggest challenges is the risk of misinterpretation of search intent by the algorithm. It can lead to less relevant search results. Moreover, overreliance on Google Bert can lead to a lack of diversity in search results. Besides that it can affect the competitive position of smaller players in the market.
