## Resource

James Dooley and Charles Floate discuss the best SEO strategies working in 2026, focusing on how Google’s algorithm is shifting towards AI overview support, consensus-led content and verifiable information. Charles explains how topical authority, site focus, schema, third-party corroboration, link building and tier two link activation influence rankings because Google needs clear, trusted and repeated signals to understand what should rank. The conversation also covers how AI search, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity are changing SEO strategy, why consensus matters across multiple indexed sources, and how parasite pages can reinforce a target ranking position. They also discuss user engagement, Chrome-based signals, traffic activation, social boosts and the limits of short-term virality.
