We joke every time we hear Google\u2019s John Mueller answer a question with \u201cit depends.\u201d But actually, it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

There are few definitive answers or universally established facts in SEO<\/a>. Do meta titles matter? Yes. Is internal linking a good practice? Yes. Is duplicate content bad for SEO? Yes.<\/p>\n

But if I tried to make a list of SEO questions with a single, clear, absolute answer, it wouldn\u2019t be long.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the real challenge: we operate in an industry where things almost always depend on context, intent, competition, your website\u2019s situation, and the platform itself.<\/p>\n

Yet over and over, we see questions framed as if there must be one right answer. SEO tips are often shared as universal truths \u2014 one-size-fits-all for websites, industries, and business models.<\/p>\n

My purpose here is simple: to shift that mindset. Especially if you share SEO advice publicly, let\u2019s move away from \u201cthis is the only way\u201d and toward \u201cthis is one way, depending on your situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is schema important for SEO?<\/h2>\n

The idea for this article came to me when I saw Mueller respond to a Reddit thread about the importance of schema markup. He replied, \u201cThis question will stick with us for the next year and longer, and the short answer is yes, no, and it depends\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s absolutely right.<\/p>\n
