Google's Search team launched a rolling nomination system to bring fresh voices to their Search Off the Record podcast, actively seeking contributors who typically avoid the spotlight.

Why It Matters
SEO conferences and industry podcasts often feature the same established voices, creating visibility gaps for practitioners doing valuable work without platform presence. The nomination form gives the community direct input on who should represent technical discussions about search, indexing, and ranking systems.
This approach acknowledges that expertise exists beyond conference circuits and social media followings. Professionals working on complex implementations, solving unique technical challenges, or bringing regional perspectives can now reach Google's podcast audience through peer recognition rather than self-promotion.
What Happens Next
The form accepts ongoing community nominations for potential guests. Google's team reviews submissions to identify practitioners bringing unique perspectives, technical expertise, or underrepresented viewpoints to podcast discussions.
Anyone can nominate colleagues, clients, or community members. The rolling format keeps submissions open indefinitely, allowing continuous discovery of voices the team might otherwise miss.
