The SEO expert who never left the dashboard

The SEO expert I worked with could read a Search Console graph the way a cardiologist reads an ECG. He’d spot the dip, trace it back three weeks, name the probable cause. Genuinely impressive. And completely useless, because by the time he finished analysing, the moment to act had passed.

We were supposed to be optimising content together. Rewriting headlines, killing pages that cannibalised each other, pushing the things that were actually gaining traction. Instead, I’d watch him disappear into dashboards for hours. Filters applied, date ranges adjusted, segments compared. He’d surface with findings that were interesting but led nowhere. I kept thinking: mate, close the tab and do something.
