Martha van Berkel believes that by implementing semantic schema markup, you're building a knowledge graph, which can serve as a contextual element that enables machines to understand you and your content more effectively.

A photo of Martha van Berkel with the quote "Most people still think of schema markup as just trying to get visibility, but it's way more than that. By doing semantic schema markup, you're building a knowledge graph, which can be a contextual thing that allows machines to understand."

Joseph Kahn (@josephskahn.bsky.social) wants you to focus on establishing your brand as an influencer in relevant spaces, as LLMs prioritise mentions over simple backlinks.

A photo of Joseph Kahn with the quote "The brand mention itself goes into that LLM database, along with where it's mentioned or where they were talking about your company. It's not about backlinks anymore; it's about being found as an influencer in the right space and the right areas of Google."

Roman Leliukh believes that LLM optimisation complements, not conflicts with, SEO, and that enhancing content for LLMs is additive to existing SEO strategies, creating synergy rather than competition.

maj.to/4oXNfoN
A photo of Roman Leliukh with the quote "Optimizing pages for LLMs doesn't conflict with optimizing for SEO, as such. These are like two sides of the same thing. They're more additive than conflicting. You just pre-call a bunch of stuff on top of the existing SEO piece/SEO blog posts, and they don’t hurt each other."

Roman Leliukh explains that, with explosive growth in users, LLMs are poised to challenge Google as a primary search source, potentially reshaping SEO faster than Google’s initial rise.

Christian Rigg explains that anything that gets the human brain to stop, wake up, and think, ‘That's not what I was expecting,’ is going to create much stronger associations than when everything follows the status quo.
