And, perhaps more to your point, it's important to be critical. Those big "GEO" claims? "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Linkedin posts are not evidence.

There will be a middle ground over time & SEO has never been a static thing. AI in variations is both here to stay and will be completely different next year. Blindly focusing on "just AI" or "old-SEO" won't holistically help businesses in modern times.

I also see a lot of that, but also, it's a new generation who's bullish on making things for the web. If they can harness their energy & passion, and aren't afraid of doing real work too, I'm ok with that.

They're different tests. Something can be technically valid schema.org, but not fulfill all the requirements that Search wants for specific features.

They're very kind & helpful folks, and I love the way the whole platform "just works" without us needing to figure everything out on our own. It's not like this kind of thing breaks the site for search or anywhere.

It would be useful to have an example, but first I'd recommend going through the steps outlined in www.gsqi.com/marketing-bl... - Glenn has looked at a lot of these cases, and documented what he's seen.

"Staff" level is more than "I can write some PHP", it's a lot about strategic planning & metrics-focus too.
If you work/worked with a strong developer (on WP or otherwise), please forward it :). I'm excited about SiteKit's plans, and the team is fantastic.

If you're curious, or if you know of others who could kinda fit, I'm happy to answer questions. Having someone with experience in the WP world (or as an engineer in some of the other CMS worlds) is ideal.
