Reverse Engineering Google Algorithms with Ryan Jones

According to today’s guest, most SEOs are still optimizing like it’s 2005—counting keywords, stacking H2 tags, obsessing over density metrics that search engines haven’t cared about in years. But the truth is, Google and AI don’t work that way anymore. They think in vectors, not words.

My guest for this episode is Ryan Jones, who runs the SEO practice at Razorfish and created the semantic SEO tool SERPrecon, which evaluates websites the way search engines actually work. Ryan dove deep into the Yandex and Google source code leaks and used that knowledge to build a tool that evaluates websites using the same technologies that are powering modern search.

In our conversation, we discussed why the SEO industry must evolve beyond lexical tactics and embrace semantic relevance. Ryan breaks down vector space, third-party consensus for Google knowledge panels, and how to reverse-engineer Google AI Overview citations using passage BERT. He shares his Reddit strategy, explains the flaws in traditional keyword optimization, and demonstrates how SERPrecon scores title tags using Yandex’s exact logic from their source code leak.

Stay tuned, and you’ll shift how you think about SEO, giving you a competitive edge in an AI-driven search world. So, without any further ado, on with the show!
