Traditionally, SEO focused on enhancing organic visibility through keyword analysis, content optimisation, and technical audits. Now, with DCO in the mix, SEO specialists are venturing into personalised advertising that adapts in real time to user behaviours,
preferences, and locations.
This evolution brings SEO closer to performance marketing, merging search strategy with programmatic advertising to deliver highly relevant and engaging ads.
Dynamic creative optimisation (DCO) uses data insights, algorithms, and modular content to tailor ads to individual users. Unlike static ads, DCO dynamically assembles creative elements - such as headlines, images, and calls to action—based on factors like user
behaviour, location, or browsing history.
This level of personalisation aligns with rising consumer expectations for relevant and engaging digital experiences, making DCO a powerful tool for modern marketers.
For SEO specialists, this transition presents an opportunity to apply their analytical skills and understanding of user intent in a new, impactful way—bridging the gap between search and personalised advertising.
