Google’s John Mueller said that since SEO is complex, multifaceted, and resilient, you “can do a lot of things that don’t work & still do ok.” Meaning, you can mess up on several SEO things and still do well with search rankings.
John wrote this on Bluesky earlier this month; “SEO is complex, multifaceted, & resiliant. You can do a lot of things that don’t work & still do ok.”
