In the final episode of our Rewind Series, Caitlyn and Meredith revisit the most-listened-to episode in Digital Marketing for Contractors history: SEO Trends You Can’t Ignore — and update it for 2026.

When the original episode aired, Google had just rolled out more than 5,000 algorithm updates in a single year, and the industry was bracing for massive change. Now, two years later, those predictions didn’t just come true — they accelerated.

In this episode, we break down what SEO fundamentals still matter, what has changed dramatically, and what contractors must do now to stay visible as AI search, engagement signals, video, and Google Business Profile become fully integrated into modern SEO.

You’ll learn:

  • Why AI is changing how people search — not replacing SEO
  • What E-E-A-T means for contractor websites today
  • Why thin location pages actively hurt rankings
  • How engagement metrics now influence SEO performance
  • Why video SEO is no longer optional
  • How Google Business Profile is now core to SEO
  • What a 2026-ready SEO checklist actually looks like

If you want to future-proof your website, improve rankings, and attract higher-quality leads, this episode is a must-listen.
