Thrilled that Google is pulling our content over wikipedia (in this instance). Wondering how we can assure more success like this.

Hi Mike, this is awesome but strangely, the only page on Wikipedia that gets returned for the following query,

"inurl:digitalization site:wikipedia.org" in Google is <cite class="_Zd">ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalization</cite> that too in Arabic language. So they do not have the exact match definition in English at this point in time as I write this. You can confirm this with the following query:

"inurl:digitalization site:en.wikipedia.org"

Out of the first 10 results in Google for the query, "inurl:digitalization", I tried to run the following query for each of these top 10 websites:

"inurl:digitalization site:<each 10="" of="" the="" top="" domain="" names="">",</each>

Only Gartner.com has 26 URLs (with "digitalization" in the URL) with only one exception, digitalization.nl which can be ruled out as the domain name itself contains, "digitalization". This case can be dug much,much deeper but let me stop here.

Without having dug deeper in to this case, at this point, the only thing I believe would replace Gartner's definition with the definition from Wikipedia is, if they come up with a page that contains the term, "digitalization" in the URL and in the title.

Best regards,
