TL;DR

Ranking scores are specific to each search results set, not to the overall index. A score of 0.76 might be the best in a given context. This reminds SEOs to focus on context rather than an overall rating.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Les scores globaux ne sont-ils pas utiles pour le SEO ?
Ils le sont, mais sans le contexte spécifique, leur interprétation est limitée.
Comment identifier un ensemble de résultats spécifique ?
Analysez les SERP pour les mots-clés donnés et évaluez la concurrence et les types de contenus.
Les scores relatifs affectent-ils les petites entreprises ?
Oui, car cela signifie qu'elles doivent se concentrer davantage sur des niches et les requêtes locales.
