How to Determine if a SEO Specialist is Good

Disclaimer: This is not a work offer, I am not looking to hire, just want to understand how to properly evaluate whether someone knows what they are doing despite not knowing too much about the industry myself. I want to look for someone to help with my website's SEO. But I am not sure how to go about finding the right one. Hoping to get some help here: 1. does the niche matters? If an SEO specialist is used to working for niche unrelated to mine, would that affect...

If you offer the service of increasing leads by optimizing your client's SEO, what metrics would you focus on to measure this increase in leads?

Additional question: One of the metrics I plan to use is the number of clicks on the contact button. However, my first test client has his site built on an "all in one" platform and I can't create a cool floating version of this button. Any ideas?

Google is indexing my posts within a couple of hours.

Hey so Google is indexing my articles much quicker. As the title says, within a couple of hours. I’m seeing page one and other sections in a few days. Is this a good sign? As a year ago it would take a while to index and months to show up. Not trying to flex, just trying to understand where I am in Google’s good books.

Client is in a legal dispute over their business name, wants to use a different "temporary" domain for now and possibly change it back once the matter has been resolved. What are the main SEO concerns, and how best to tackle?

I have a doctor client who has a region-related business name "[city] [service they provide]", and that name space can get somewhat cluttered when there are several competitors. TLDR is that there is a legal dispute between him and another doctor in the area, and while the dispute is the dental board has requested for him to use a different domain name. Most likely we will use a new one that is centered around his actual name since he essentially *is* the business. It is also worth mentioning that...

How I automated meta description generation with Screaming Frog + OpenAI (saved my friend 11 hours of work)

Got a message from a friend the other day that made me wince - he'd just spent 11 hours manually writing meta descriptions for 139 pages. Been there, done that, and it's absolutely soul-crushing work. Figured I'd share my setup for automating this with Screaming Frog and OpenAI. It's not perfect, but it beats the hell out of doing it manually. **What you'll need:** * Screaming Frog license * OpenAI API key * Basic JavaScript knowledge (really basic, I promise) **Step 1: Enable JavaScript in Screaming Frog** 1. Go...

What are some of the best explanations for SEO that you've heard?

What is SEO? Some are better at explaining it than others. Whether directly, by analogy, concisely, or by Q&A.

Newsbreak App Traffic Issues?

Are any other publishers noticing any differences with the referral traffic Newsbreak is sending to external sites of late? For context, I look after a few sports publishers in an advisory capacity. For more years than I can count, they automatically picked up quite a few of the sites and more often than not would send a ton of highly targeted traffic their way. In mid-December, it feels, it all radically slowed down. Almost like a switch was hit. Interestingly, I can see that the platform is still picking...

December Algo Ranking Change, Blog Impressions Down to Zero

Hi everyone, I'm a longtime SEO fan and lurker. I've been recently building a blog where I write about my technical experiences. I began writing for it in November 2024. I noticed in mid December(2024) that impressions went to zero. I took note of a December update. I did some SERP research on keywords that my post should rank for and they don't appear. The pages are indexed as I did a `site:mysite.com` search on Google and the web pages show up. No manual actions have taken place. ###...

Issue with schema markup

I have recently started manually adding schema markup to my site using JSON-LD. I have confirmed its validity using Schema Markup Validator on [schema.org](http://schema.org) and Google's Rich Results Test, both of which reported no issues. However, when running a site audit with Ahrefs, I'm seeing many schema errors. Should I address these Ahrefs errors, or can I disregard them given the Google validation?

Apparently Reddit not ranking as highly in Google

Tweet from Rustybrick on X > It seems like Reddit, the site that ranks well for every single query in Google Search, is starting to see a small but visible ranking drop in Google Search. It seems Reddit is losing Google Search visibility when you look at its ranking reports in Semrush and Sistrix. Source: seroundtable. com/reddit-not-ranking-google-38710.html

{PSA} Google: Using Generative AI To Create Content For Links Against Spam Policies

Details: >Google's John Mueller said that using generative AI to create blog posts and content for the purpose of getting backlinks is "almost certainly against Google's spam policies." He said this in response to a complaint that this was being done on their site, outsourced by their SEO firm to a third-party. >This came up [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/beccaeharrison.bsky.social/post/3lf6c2zbqvc2r) where Becca Harrison posted that her SEO firm outsides link building to a company that generated content and blog posts using generative AI for the purpose of getting backlinks. To make things even worse, the...

How do you exist?

Hello there, I am brain empty trying to make my website just exist on Google. I'm not an SEO master (captain obvious) so I digged a lot in it, tried to understand how to make good basics. Titles, descriptions, metadata, performances, accessibility, sitemap, readable urls... It's not pro job, but still I feel I am nowhere near to a decent result and I can't find what's missing. My site has been live for about 6 months now, often has updates, little traffic (about 30 unique users daily) and very...

Moving Away From SEO

Hello! I'm running a content website and we've recently made an interesting decision; while SEO has been our bread and butter, we're experimenting with content that prioritizes genuine user interest over search volume.

What metrics would you track to measure success beyond traditional SEO KPIs? 4. Any suggestions for making high-engagement content that still performs well in search? Love to hear thoughts...
