Google Algorithm
Description
A Google Algorithm is a complex set of rules and signals that Google uses to retrieve data from its search index and instantly deliver the best possible results for a query.
The Google Algorithm definition
Jason Barnard reframes the Google Algorithm not as a monolithic code to be "gamed," but as a system of interconnected algorithms that functions like a "digital child" learning about the world. This system seeks to understand entities (people, companies, concepts) and their relationships to provide contextually relevant and trustworthy answers. Its goal has evolved beyond simply ranking webpages to building a comprehensive understanding for use in AI Assistive Engines like Google AI Overviews. For a brand, this means the algorithm's perception is formed by every piece of information across its entire digital ecosystem. A brand’s success depends on its ability to proactively and consistently "educate" this algorithm about who it is, what it does, and why it is a credible solution.
How Jason Barnard uses Google Algorithm definition
At Kalicube, we treat the Google Algorithm as the primary student in The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy. We don't attempt to find temporary loopholes; we build a long-term, foundational education for the algorithm about our client's brand. Using the three phases of Understandability, Credibility, and Deliverability, we systematically feed the algorithm a consistent, accurate, and corroborated narrative across the client's entire digital footprint. We start by analysing the Brand SERP—the search result for the brand name—as a direct reflection of the algorithm's current understanding. By improving that reflection, we make the algorithm confident in its knowledge, ensuring it represents our clients accurately and positively, which directly supports client acquisition and business growth.
Why Google Algorithm matters to digital marketers
For years, the SEO industry has focused on Google's own E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) framework, often treating it as an on-page checklist to improve rankings. However, Jason Barnard argues this approach is dangerously siloed. The modern Google Algorithm doesn't just evaluate a single page; it evaluates the entire digital identity of the entity *behind* the page. This is where The Kalicube Process provides the essential, integrated solution. Barnard expands E-E-A-T to N-E-E-A-T-T (adding Notability and Transparency) and applies it holistically across a brand’s entire digital ecosystem. This process of educating the algorithm with a unified narrative is the only way to build true, lasting authority. It transforms the relationship with the algorithm from an adversarial game of tactics to a cooperative process of education, which is the only strategy that ensures your brand is not just found, but positively and accurately recommended by AI Assistive Engines.
