Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Strengthen your foundations with technical SEO and user experience – with Iva Jovanovic
Q: Iva, what's your number one SEO tip for 2026?
Technical SEO and user experience will remain the foundation for websites, and without them your content won't surface in AI-driven or traditional search results.
Bring together your traditional, digital, and brand PR – with Charlotte Crowther
Q: What are the differences between traditional and digital PR, and where do they blur or stay separate?
Traditional PR provides broad assurance and credibility; digital PR focuses on online content and link-building. They blur as brands become one living message across all platforms, requiring coordinated storytelling and audience-targeted angles.
Bring together your traditional, digital, and brand PR – with Charlotte Crowther
Q: Charlotte, what's your number one SEO tip for 2026?
Don't ignore digital and brand PR; it's becoming entwined with SEO, voice search, and AI-driven discovery, so integrating PR with search strategy is essential.
Don’t accept a janky website – with Jono Alderson
Q: What's your number one SEO tip for 2026?
Stop accepting technical mediocrity and push to improve the fundamentals of how a site is built, served, and rendered so that pages load quickly, are accessible, and are easy for search systems to understand.
Show AI crawlers what you want them to see – with Arnout Hellemans
Q: How do you determine how AI crawlers see pages differently and what should be done about it?
Compare the raw HTML with the rendered version using tools and extensions, identify elements altered by JavaScript, and ensure those elements are reliably present in the raw HTML; implement strategies like pre-rendering and thoughtful CMS choices to maintain consistency across crawlers.
