Google Says Work On The Bigger website positioning Points Earlier than The One Off Points

Google’s John Mueller recommended the obvious (as I write this I am asking myself why write it but hey, sometimes the obvious needs to be reminded). If you have SEO work to do, do the work that is a larger problem before you do the smaller ones, like the one-offs.

John Mueller of Google wrote on mastodon the other day “one page, it’s like a typo,” but “if you have the same kind of issue on millions of pages, that’s a bigger, more visible typo.”

John added that “if you can only fix one, do the one affecting millions of pages. If you need to fill your time or want to get a new person up to speed, do the small fix too.”

Here is a screenshot of that conversation:

Yea, again, this is pretty obvious, but I see someone people get caught up on one small thing when there are so many larger fish to fry. And this is not just SEO advice…

Oh yea, I’m pretty active on Mastodon, you can follow me at c.im/@rustybrick if you want.
