Google’s John Mueller said the other day that “SEO is not belief-based, nobody knows everything, and it changes over time.” Super true, I’ve been covering SEO changes over the years and I spot this all the time.<\/p>

John wrote this on Bluesky when making another statement that ruffled some SEO feathers. He wrote, “To me, when someone self-declares themselves as an SEO guru, it’s an extremely obvious sign that they’re a clueless imposter.”<\/p>

He also added, “You have to acknowledge that you were wrong at times, learn, and practice more.”<\/p>

I have always said that I often enjoy being wrong. You learn so much more from being wrong than always thinking you are right.<\/p>

That being said – I know there are many who label themselves as SEO gurus. But at the same time, not even gurus know everything about their topic of expertise. <\/p>

Just be humble, always willing to learn and be ready to admit you were wrong – when you are wrong. That last part shows how honest you are and can be a really big deal.<\/p>

To me, when someone self-declares themselves as an SEO guru, it’s an extremely obvious sign that they’re a clueless imposter. SEO is not belief-based, nobody knows everything, and it changes over time. You have to acknowledge that you were wrong at times, learn, and practice more.<\/p>
