077 - How You Are Wasting Your Time with SEO - And What to Do Instead

In episode 77 of the SEOLeverage Podcast, Gert Mellak highlights common time-wasting activities in SEO and suggests more effective alternatives. He discusses the pitfalls of publishing content frequently without focus, over-relying on SEO plugins, and the importance of quality over quantity. The episode provides actionable advice on optimizing efforts to achieve better SEO results.

I am sure that you want to make sure that the time you spend working for your SEO is time really well allocated and invested, right? Just when we think that we are doing everything right, we are unaware that it was spent on some useless things that we think are good for SEO. But really the bottom line is with Google - what they think is relevant and which is in line with what users actually want. As you know, Google adjusts to changing user behavior such that the content you write today, needs to be rewritten or refreshed, as in the case of search on virus, pre and post-Covid.

In this episode, Gert highlights the three biggest SEO time-wasting activities that you can monitor and get rid of in order to ensure that whatever resources you dedicate to SEO are really well invested.
