This one is probably a myth in many industries, but it seems
prevalent in the SEO one. There is a lot of gatekeeping in SEO
social media, forums, and chats.
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
There are some core tenants that we know about SEO.
Usually, something is stated by a search engine representative that
has been dissected, tested, and ultimately declared true.
The rest is a result of personal and collective trial and error, testing,
and experience.
Processes are extremely valuable within SEO business functions,
but they have to evolve and be applied appropriately.
Different websites within different industries will respond to changes
in ways others would not. Altering a meta title, so it is under 60
characters long might help click-through rate for one page, and not
for another.
Ultimately, we have to hold any SEO advice we’re given lightly
before deciding whether it is right for the website you are working
on.
