In part 3 of my interview with Andrew Ansley, we unpack the evolution of SEO from pre-2022 tactics to today's entity-driven, user-focused strategies. 

Learn why stuffing keywords is dead, how RankBrain and BERT changed the game, and why helpful, structured content (plus user metrics) is the new key to ranking. 

Andrew also demystifies topical authority, shares how to recover if your site’s in the “loser’s bracket,” and offers actionable tips for entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to win with SEO—without burnout.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How Google’s approach to content and ranking has changed since 2018 (and again after 2022)
• What “entity SEO” and “topical authority” mean for your website
• Why user satisfaction and mobile-first indexing matter more than ever
• How to structure content for both users and bots (headers, visuals, and more)
• What it takes to move your site from the “loser’s bracket” to the winner’s bracket
