In today's episode, Alex and I are going to be discussing how to optimize for SGE. With that, here's my conversation with Alex Silverberg, SEO strategist and president at APSEO. Alex, welcome to the podcast.
Tyson, thank you for having me. Been wanting to get on for a while, talk shop with you, and uh, you know, get that SEO knowledge out there. So excited to be here.
Yeah, I'm I've been looking forward to having you on the podcast. I think it's been a little overdue, so I'm glad that we finally uh you know got the time and I'm really excited to hear what you have to to share with our listeners here. Of course, SG is a hot topic. The much anticipated, depending on you know, Google's plans for this, maybe it's already started to roll out in a larger form um with this, but I think it's very time Timely for where we're at on it. So maybe to start things off with the listeners, you know, and I'm sure a lot of SEOs, whether they're in-house or in the agency kind of function, are getting questions from clients or upper management of what's going on, what to expect. First level set, like should should SEOs be significantly concerned by this?
Well, that's a great question, Tyson. And I think it's something that again, we are getting from a lot of our clients. uh companies we work with, anyone who's interfacing with us, this is a very, very hot topic, like you said. SGE, SG G. What is SGE?
How will SGE affect featured snippets and existing search rankings?
Well SGE, in my opinion, is another experiment by Google. And Google has a lot of experiments out there when it comes to search. Um and as SEOs know and anyone who uses the search engine on a daily basis, anything they roll out isn't really gonna be fully complete until they iterate update after update and after update. So go back to your question, should SEOs be concerned with this? Yes, because anything Google does is going to affect SEO. I think there's a lot of anxiety. I think there's a lot of trepidation. I think there's a lot of apprehension about SGE just because of how fundamental it's going to change how we view search results and how users click through search results. I've heard a lot of concerns about
I'm a small website. Is my content just going to get thrown out the window? And is Google going to steal my content here? Maybe, maybe not. I've heard a lot of questions about, hey, I have this really great featured snippet right now and we worked really, really hard to get this. We we invested a lot of money into research and getting to this where it needs to be. Am I gonna lose my feature snippet? To that I would say Maybe, maybe not. And you're seeing a pattern here, right? And the reason for that is no one really knows what SGE is gonna be at the end of the day, the final product. But what we're seeing right now. There are th some things to be concerned about if you're not optimizing your site correctly, if you're not investing in things that are gonna help SEO today and in the future.
So I guess like with that, I mean I I I completely agree that it's like what we've seen so far may not be or is not the final state of this.
