Common Mistakes on r/TechSEO
Avoid these pitfalls that get marketers banned or ignored.
Posting basic SEO questions
This is a technical SEO subreddit for experienced practitioners. Basic questions belong elsewhere.
Instead
For basic questions, use r/SEO or r/bigseo. Here, bring technical depth and specific implementation challenges.
Claiming SEO tools solve technical problems
Technical SEO requires understanding, not just tools. Tool-first thinking gets dismissed.
Instead
Position tools appropriately: "This helps with [specific workflow] after you understand [underlying concept]."
Correlation claims without causation evidence
The community is analytically rigorous. "We did X and Y improved" without controls isn't convincing.
Instead
Show methodology: "Tested on [sample]. Control group: [approach]. Results: [data]. Confidence: [assessment]."
Ignoring site context and scale
Technical SEO solutions vary by site size and type. What works for small sites may not work for enterprise.
Instead
Provide context: "This applies to [site type/size]. For [different type], the approach would differ because..."
Overreliance on Google's stated best practices
The community tests and verifies. Google's statements don't always match reality.
Instead
Test and share: "Google says X. Our testing shows [actual results]. Interpretation: [analysis]."
