FAQ

Website SEO questions

Should every page target a different keyword?

Every important page should have a clear primary intent. Similar pages can exist, but they should solve distinct user needs rather than duplicate each other.

Does structured data replace good page content?

No. Structured data helps search engines understand a page, but the visible content still needs to satisfy the user's search intent.
