Finding Page-Two Questions to Target

E913: Practical, repeatable ways to use Google Search Console to make better SEO decisions without guessing.

Instead of relying on assumptions, third-party tools, or long content cycles, this conversation focuses on using Google's own data to identify what your site is already eligible to rank for - and how to expand from there.

We cover real workflows you can apply immediately, whether you're working on a small site or managing SEO at scale.

David Quaid joins the show!

We cover: - How to use Regex in Google Search Console to analyze branded vs non-branded searches - Why Search Console withholds data and how to work with wider query sets to get more accurate insights - How to identify question-based queries Google already associates with your site - Using Search Console to find page-two keywords that signal topical readiness - Turning "People Also Ask"-style queries into scalable FAQ and content structures - How internal linking and subfolders transfer topical authority across related pages - When expanding topical authority helps - and when it starts to hurt - A low-risk method for publishing many small pages to test ranking potential - How to use AI to speed up content production without committing to long editorial cycles - Deciding which pages are worth improving after Google shows you what ranks

This episode is focused on process, not theory - how to reduce uncertainty, shorten feedback loops, and let Google's behavior guide your SEO strategy.
