GuestMarch 26, 2026 at 8:39 pmYou’re not doing SEO, you’re doing “handcuffed SEO.”
If they only allow metadata changes and block content + links, results will always be minimal. This isn’t an SEO issue, it’s a buy-in problem.
Set expectations clearly, propose a small test if possible… and if they still won’t move, accept that it won’t perform (or walk away).
