Good Enough SEO | Technical Advice
Manage episode 517458321 series 3400476
In this episode, Meredith and her husband break down a misconception in SEO — that you need to be a technical genius to succeed. Meredith’s Husband explains why most modern website platforms already handle the “tech stuff” and why Google actually rewards usability and trust over perfection. You’ll also hear how the new SEMrush Challenge helps you reach “good enough SEO” — an A-level site score that’s more than enough to win.
