Here's some great take aways from the interview:

Transparency in processes leads to higher conversion rates. SEO has evolved from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional system.
Site-wide quality scores now influence individual page rankings.
Topical relevance is crucial for effective link building.
Geographic relevance significantly impacts local SEO performance.
Competitive link analysis is essential for successful link building campaigns.
Brand authority plays a critical role in SEO success.
Links with topical relevance yield better results than those based solely on third-party metrics.
Building a diverse link profile is important for natural-looking backlinks.
Owning part of the information ecosystem can enhance SEO efforts.
Focus on relevance and quality over quantity in link building.
Practical Example:
Take a look at this article exploring the benefits of Collagen, you can see they utilize expert quotes as a strategy. They would benefit greatly by finding other sites in the health and wellness space that would display and include their expert quotes in them.
Killer Quotes:
"Sometimes they'll say, well, what is the average DA or DR of your links? And I tell them like, I don't know, because I don't even track that. But let me ask you a question. Why is that important to you? And I swear to God, I never get a clear answer out of that." - Don't use DR/DA 3rd party metrics for links.
"When Google kind of shifted away from a keyword based algorithm to an entity based algorithm, the way that I envisioned this is it went from a two dimensional document retrieval system to a three dimensional document retrieval algorithm."
SEO as a business is HARD: "Just because you know SEO doesn't mean you know anything about marketing. And so you can be a really good technical SEO and suck at marketing, and you're gonna have a really hard time monetizing that skill."

Jeremy Rivera: When it comes to SEO, we've become complacent. We have become dependent on tools, on software.

We're fighting... to optimize the website for the business so that traffic is gained from all search sources in a way that benefits in terms of revenue and overall visibility, brand recognition, so that the business flourishes.

We need to get out into the community and use real world events, organizing a community cleanup , organizing a charitable event, renting a photobooth , holding classes, pushing our organizations, our businesses to hold seminars, teach the community how to do things that are associated with your particular business.

It can provide some insight, but we need to go outside the box. We need to go outside the software and do something that's going to make a difference.…
