Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the kind words about the team. Hearing that the interviewers came across as knowledgeable, even through the harder parts of the conversation, means a lot. We work hard to make sure every stage of the process is run by people who can actually do the work, not just check boxes. The live SEO crawl exercise with the CEO is one of the parts of the process I care most about. Pulling open a real crawl file and walking through prioritization, pivot tables, and on-page issues live is the closest we can get to seeing how a Senior SEO Analyst actually thinks under pressure. It is meant to challenge, not intimidate, and it sounds like you took it on head-on. If you went on to join the team, thank you for trusting the process and for being part of what we are building. Wherever you are now, I appreciate you sharing this and wish you continued success in your SEO career. Cody Jensen Founder & CEO, Searchbloom
