For people who still believe that Google "needs" long form content - especially when its in the SEO starter guide as a myth.

I'm sorry but sad? Can we just have a frank, honest, open and Data-Driven conversation about this?
How did Retro Dodo gain all this traffic, all these rank positions so quickly? Great content? All that great content got them from the basecamp of that market in just 12 months?

Test your SEO Expertise. How many of you have done this simple yet massively useful exercise in B2B SaaS/Tech/Demand-Lead Gen SEO?
Go to GA4 or Looker, create a report of landing pages from Users with a session with a Key Report and then excised the top 10 keywords for each page

Sorry but there is no "best" content - this is ridiculous. Google is not a content appreciation engine.
There are no signals - Google is content agnostic, brand agnostic and EEAT is simply not a factor in SEO.
Source: The Google SEO Starter Guide - this should be on every
The best content will not always rank the highest.
Not with Google's user-centric approach.
Brand, EEAT and other signals drive users to show Google better user metrics (better CTR on SERPs and then user metrics that Chrome can track), but the content on those pages may not be

Why
@webflow
sucks as a CMS for SEO:
1. No support for redirects for sub-domains - kills migrations (e.g. blog. --> /blog)
2. No HTML sitemap - critical for helping shape inbound authority across the site - in fact, more than 100 pages, you need nested and tiered sitemaps,

One of the absolute toughest things about White Hat SEO is that its slow. With so much SEO on domains with authority or domains with blackhat authority, slow can look "incompetent", But SEO progress is compounded.
Similarly, Brand Building is often sold here as a strategy; to me

Because they know they're spam - they know they can't recover. I'm going to say "bought backlinks" again.
If their content was so good - surely they can move it to a new domain. the problem is, they know they can't build 1k let alone 10k or 100k backlinks....

I think it shows how expensive the IS economy is - Mitt got parodied for it but you need $250k+ to be the same middle class as 20 years ago…
Making $2k extra when you have such high property/rebt, and property taxes hospital copays means that $150k a year is the EU equivalent

Dear SEOs and Content Marketers
Content is not king. Thats the biggest lie about Google and SEO
Google will rank TXT Filtes, PDF files. Google DOES NOT NEED 1st Language English. It doesn't need perfect grammar. It doesn't need spelling mistake free. It cannot fact check.
