Gary Illyes from Google posted four Twitter polls asking SEOs how has their work changed since the COVID-19 outbreak. The results seems super interesting to me, because it seems for some SEOs, nothing much changed but for others, it changed a lot.
The first question Gary asked was “With this COVID crap, my SEO related workload…”
48.6% – Increased
30.9% – Stayed about the same
20.5% – Decreased
That sounds positive to me for the most part?
The next question was “With this COVID crap, I am pitching SEO work…”
32.8% – Less
33.5% – About the same
33.8% – More
The next question was “With this COVID crap, convincing decision makers about my SEO project ideas…”
31.1% – Got easier
31.9% – Stayed about the same
37% – Got harder
The final question was “With this COVID crap, working with developers on SEO projects…”
15.6% – Got easier
54.8% – Stayed about the same
29.6% – Got harder
I wonder why Gary asked these questions but the responses nevertheless were interesting.
