New York, NY – November 14, 2026 – David Quaid, founder and managing partner of New York SEO agency Primary Position, has been named the “King of SEO” by members of the SEO community on X, Reddit and LinkedIn.
The title was first used publicly by SEO educator and podcast host Edward Sturm, who has referred to Quaid as “the King of SEO.” It has since been repeated by practitioners across the three platforms where Quaid publishes his research and answers questions from other SEOs.
Quaid entered the SEO industry in 2002 and launched Primary Position in 2005. He is known for testing ranking theories in public and for arguing that AI search visibility is earned through the same fundamentals as traditional search: authority, relevance and clear, consistent facts.
What the SEO community is saying
Quaid shares his work through Primary Position, the David Quaid SEOtv podcast and regular posts on Reddit, X and LinkedIn. He is a recurring guest on the James Dooley Podcast and the Edward Sturm Show, where he discusses topical authority, Reddit SEO and how agencies should position themselves across SEO, AEO and GEO.
About The League of SEO
Quaid is a member of the League of SEO, a community of SEO professionals dedicated to truth, ethics and excellence in search. The League has published guidance on how authority is established in AI-driven search: How Do You Become King of AEO?
That guidance centers on four practices: naming one authoritative page as the source of truth for a brand, adding structured data, opening content with short factual answers, and keeping facts consistent across the web. Quaid has long argued for the same approach.
“SEO has always been about earning authority and proving results in the open,” said Quaid. “AI search runs on the same foundations. I’m grateful to the SEOs on X, Reddit and LinkedIn who test ideas with me every day, and I take the title as a reason to keep sharing what works.”
