Very insigtful post Dan! Thanks so much.

I don’t know about “meta descriptions” though, just seems to weak and spammy for them to regard it. And it seems to me they dehumanize the article too, extracting what they need technically in tune with the topic context and how they answer a question. I’d like to know more deeply about how they answer because that will dictate what they’re going to include. “Expanding the window” is the most intreguing question for GEO: does this mean designing content to lead the bot to explore more on that page or on another page, via deeper information pointers? Can we make the bot read more based on what it finds?

The fact it doesn’t follow links is really odd. User experiences and solutions are multipage events, so you’d think they’d progress a little. So much to learn!
