😱 Google recently released a major update to its Knowledge Graph focused on improving experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) signals, especially for people entities. This has significant implications for personal brand and entity-based SEO. According Jason Barnard's detailed analysis, here are the key things to know: 👉 The July 2023 Knowledge Graph update radically increased the number of person entities while corporate entities remained stable. 👉 Google clearly focused on refining classification for people by subtitles. Authoritative roles like "Writer" or "Author" saw large increases of up to 33%. 👉 Generic subtitles dropped dramatically, signaling Google's intent to pinpoint specialist expertise. 👉 Only 16% of people entities now have a subtitle, down from 57% before. This suggests tightened classifiers. 👉 Reliance on Wikipedia collapsed from 41% to 12% for triggering new people entities. Traditional databases like IMDB also dropped. 👉 Google is focused on its algorithms building semantic connections, reducing dependence on human-curated sources. 👉 Corporations are likely next, with a similar decrease in reliance on Wikipedia imminent. Brands overly dependent on Wikipedia for Knowledge Panels should reevaluate. 👉 This presents a massive opportunity for individuals and brands who build authoritative, trustworthy profiles on diverse quality sites. Google is distancing itself from spammy tactic-built Knowledge Graphs. E-E-A-T focused content and optimization is now more critical than ever.

🚀 I'm excited to share my recent interview with one of the best known SEO experts: Cyrus Shepard @CyrusShepard! Cyrus has a wealth of knowledge from his many years working at @Moz and now as an independent consultant at @ZyppySEO. In our conversation, Cyrus shares insightful tips on SEO experiments, title tags, internal linking, and even his experience becoming a Google Quality Rater. Some highlights: ✅ Simple SEO experiments you can do, like rewriting title tags and tracking changes in Search Console. No need for complex scientific methodology when starting out. ✅ Why varying your internal anchor text is so important, rather than reusing the same keywords. The number of different anchor texts correlates highly with better rankings. ✅ Cyrus' unique perspective on ranking factors now versus a few years ago. He explains the 5 buckets he sees as most important today. ✅ What "real company sh*t" means - doing the actual hard work and being the best answer rather than trying to manipulate results. ✅ His surprising experience applying to become a Google Quality Rater, including what he learned about how raters evaluate needs met and page quality. I learned so much from Cyrus and think you will too.
