    131: Bias in SEO, Overconfident SEO Case Studies, Google’s SERP Struggles w/Sarah Presch

    Sarah Presch, is Digital Marketing Director at Dragon Metrics. She holds degrees in both Psychology and Digital Marketing and has been doing SEO, Marketing and Psychomarketing in corporate roles for 12 years. As SEOs, I think we spend FAR too much time obsessing over Google ‘Ranking Factors’ (most recently the API leaks) and NOT enough time trying to actually understand and empathize with searchers – the people we are supposedly making content for and trying to win over in the SERPs.  In this conversation, Sarah brings her unique perspective drawing from her background in psychology to help unpack some of the psychological perspectives searchers have – particularly cognitive biases. If you want to gain a deeper understanding and get into the minds of the people who search Google – the same people who traffic websites and ultimately drive revenue and business goals for sites and businesses – this episode is definitely worth a listen! Topics In This Episode: * Cognitive Biases in Search * Why were AI Overviews such a miss for Google? * The importance of fact-checking for SEO content * Search and Social Impacts on the Nervous System * How did biases impact how the SEO world reacted to Google’s API Leaks? * Biases like Confirmation Bias in SEO Case Studies * Why do overconfident people actually believe they are good at SEO? * Should Google play a role in preventing misinformation? * What else can we as SEOs do to understand searchers better? And much more – listen now!

    130: The Future of SEO – Optimism In Uncertain Times w/Will Critchlow

    Will Critchlow is the CEO of SearchPilot, an SEO A/B testing company. I invited Will back to Experts on the Wire to discuss the Future of SEO. I feel like things have felt very turbulent and uncertain in the SEO world lately (more than usual!) – because of things like AI/Chat-GPT, changes in how the community engages online, GA4, massive SERP changes from Google, and changes in the economy and world at large post-covid. I’ve always known Will for having a great perspective on the future of our industry so I wanted to get his take on what the future of SEO holds. Is THIS finally the inflection moment where ‘SEO is dead’? How does he see the next 5-10 years playing out? If it’s not dying, how will it look different? What should SEOs and businesses be doing to future-proof their marketing? How do we all navigate these big changes? Topics In This Episode Include: * How is AI affecting informational queries? * What the ancient steel and iron industry has to do with content * Is it worth still investing in content marketing? * How is the eCommerce SEO space changing? Is eCommerce and spending online down or is it growing? * Challenges for new people entering the SEO space * And lots more… Listen Now!
