Apart from research, what else is important for SEO?

Working in the SEOindustry for the last five years, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs.
When penalties were first introduced by Google, there was a lot to learn. At
that point of time, SEO was completely restructured to what it is today. Prior
to Google penalties, SEO was all about backlinks. Introduction of Google
penalties changed the direction of SEO and it is now more like an integral part
of digital marketing which is based on quality content, social signals, number
of backlinks and a hundreds of other factors. This proved vital for user
experience as it filtered the results for all the queries. This is urged people
to work on quality rather than linking. This made research an important part of
SEO. So research is one thing that every SEO should focus on from the very
start.

I would like to know the experiences of all other SEO experts.Apart from research, what else is important for SEO as per the newest trends
and algorithms?

Well, I think you answered your own questions. There are a hundred other facts that influence SEO. All of them are important and need to be addressed.
Proper research of both keywords, niche and competition is highly important. I would add to the list on-page SEO optimization and of course the most important of them all: backlinks building - meaning outreach, this is what I believe is the most important thing in SEO, developing relationships to get backlinks, increase your authority and get more traffic.

My take on the important elements of SEO work is research and socializing. Research can be done on your own but in socializing, you need people. It’s not actually plain socializing. What I mean is that you socialize with other SEO workers in the industry. Being friends with them and treating them like colleagues can greatly help. For example, this forum has a lot of knowledgeable people in the SEO industry and that’s already a first step. You can learn from them particularly with the new methods of SEO work.
