Am I alone here? SEO takes so much longer now
Posted by on January 26, 2026 at 11:37 pmMan, back in the before times, I could optimize a page in about an hour and get good rankings.
Now, from research to deployment, on average, it is taking over 3 hours, and that is with AI assistance.
With all the new signals and additional schema etc to optimize for, curious to see how much time others are using per page/post.

It always taken a while – there’s just more to cover nowadays, it isnt just the backlink game anymore.

What on earth are you doing? Are you accidentally drinking the Everything-SEO bagel juice?
You do know that images, schema, structure doesnt play a role in SEO?
