Feeling inspired by Martha van Berkel’s #BrightonSEO talk. I’ve said that schema is dead for local SEO, but that was dumb.
Schema will become increasingly valuable as the world shifts to different search interfaces.
Make it easy for the bots to understand your business, people, attributes.

Google put its money where its mouth is with Site Reputation Abuse today.
Just yesterday I posted how it was odd that Forbes Advisor was dropping, bouncing back, etc.
Today? The entire folder is penalized & deindexed. Plus its /health/ folder. And many other similar site sections on other sites. 🤯
