The Best SEO Podcast: Defining the Future of Search with LLM Visibility™

From SEO to Reputation: Owning the LLM Era With Ross Barefoot


Listen Later

We dig into how search is shifting from links to answers, why reputation now outranks tactics, and how to position your brand inside LLMs before it’s 10x harder. Ross Barefoot joins Matt to compare notes on pruning, big content, reviews, local, and the reality of client communication.

• LLMs as a new gatekeeper layer and why fundamentals still matter
• EEAT with real experience, proof, and long‑form content
• Reputation first: reviews beyond Google and social mentions
• Pruning thin and off‑topic content to clarify entity
• RAG, freshness, and Google’s role in retrieval
• Hidden gems: surfacing forums and long‑tail answers
• Merchant Center and local search as stable channels
• Measurement gaps, anonymized referrers, and log insights
• Social’s rising weight in brand visibility
• Client education, budgets, and communication systems
