In this episode of Beyond SEO, Kevin flips the script and interviews Glen Chamisa — Growthack’s technical SEO lead and the usual host of the show.

We go deep on what technical SEO really looks like in 2026: not just audits and jargon, but execution + stakeholder communication + commercial impact.

Glen shares how his computer science background shaped his approach, why many ecommerce brands (especially supplements, skincare and healthcare) build hidden technical debt as they scale, and why the SEOs who win next will be the ones who can “show their working” — like GCSE maths — and translate technical fixes into revenue outcomes.

What you’ll learn:

- Why technical SEO is getting its “moment” in the AI era

- How fast-growing brands outgrow crawlability, indexing and site architecture

- Why brand + paid can mask technical problems until it’s painful

- How compliance changes content velocity in supplements/health

- The skill gap for 2026: implementing + explaining (not just knowing)

- How to communicate SEO to COOs/finance-led stakeholders in ROI language
