#2It looks like you arrived at the correct conclusion eventually, that producing your own expert content would pay off over the longer term.
Also, that chasing traffic can have negative outcomes.

#31) SEO works best when you create real content targeted at real users
2) SEO works best when its not your end goal
3) Google knows this and is smarter than your SEO agency. Ditch the agency and simply create legitimate content your users find valuable and google will rank it.
It might take more than 12 months for everything to rank and pay off. But that's life. Google Ads exists for people looking for immediate results.

#4They seem to be a web design/development agency who are looking for enterprise customers.
Is that something you sell via SEO? What are the terms that enterprise customers would search for when looking for a new web agency?

#5That's a good article, it would be a benefit to all if there was less inane shit generated just to boost up the Google page rank.
Some things aren't even worth searching for anymore.

#6They weren’t scammed, they willingly chose to engage in scummy behaviour with a company that enables such scummy behaviour.

My own, quite limited, experiments with this kind of agree. On my personal blog I wrote a long series of posts on a specific topic (PCIs guidance for Kubernetes), and I was very interested to see if it reached the front page when up against older less specific content from large companies.
I know that this is an area where there will be SEO optimized content from vendors, so it was interesting to see how a purely organic not optimized set of blogs would do.
It took a while, but one or more of the articles (depending on the search engine and day) tends to pop up for searches for PCI Kubernetes.

#8I suggest vetting your service providers more thoroughly next time...looks like you were saddled with a company stuck 10 years in the past :)

#9Surely this is some link bait as an SEO play?
A company that says "Tinloof is a technical SEO agency that conducts audits, and implements the necessary optimizations on websites and ecommerces to rank higher on Google and other SERPs" and puts out this content would be shooting itself in the foot reputationally otherwise?
Surely....!?
