Bianca, I loved every word of this. I am an SEO consultant and it’s fun to watch how Google is digging its own grave. I think this whole ‘bloodbath’ is well-needed. Especially, since we’ve been trained to give everything away for free in blog posts, YouTube videos and all the other free content. I think it’s also the death of WordPress that aspiring bloggers were tricked into signing up for. There is a shake up going on but it’s a good one. However, I don’t think keywords are going anywhere anytime soon. It’s lovely to meet you here, btw :)
For most of my career I wrote for a living, but I wrote content for SEO purposes, crammed full of keywords. So glad that we have moved on from that! I'm now thankfully focusing on what I want to write and glad to say bye to SEO. Great article 😊

Localization to what degree? To a small country IS enough?
A couple years ago I almost considered specializing in SEO Marketing - Very glad I changed my mind

Yeah, I think SEO is my least favorite subset of online marketing.
Agreed! I've always found it to be such a hindrance to creativity, so I confess a small part of me is rejoicing...
no more stories of dead grandmas and gardening?! that sounds fantastic!
haha, I'm right there with you. If only we can find a way to ensure they give credit where credit is due
can't wait to remove SEO from my vocabulary <3
SEO who?
