The Misinterpretation of SEO Ranking Factors and Subjectivity in Evaluation

In this week's episode of Search with Candour, hosts Jack Chambers-Ward and Mark Williams-Cook share insights and initiate debates surrounding critical SEO topics.

The dynamic duo discusses the role of consensus in SEO, particularly scrutinising how its interpretation affects how much users trust search engines.

They delve into the value of technical SEO, especially for small businesses, and question the efficacy of a one-size-fits-all approach.

Jack and Mark further explore the concept of traffic depreciation when SEO efforts stop.
