Should we allow SEO related questions?

+5
−0

We have recently received a search engine optimization (SEO) question.

Our scope currently does not explicitly include or exclude such questions, so I thought we should clarify this.

Possible options:

  • allow only programming-related SEO questions (e.g., ensuring website compatibility with different devices and browsers similar to what Stack Overflow allows). However, SE includes a community dedicated to "webmasters" that allows other SEO-related questions.
  • allow virtually all SEO-related questions. I am not sure where to place the boundary here. I would say that writing and editing website content, and using online tools to analyze website performance are off-topic and let the others (e.g. UX related, optimizing website speed and performance) be on-topic.

What do you think? How should we define the scope for SEO related questions.

Oh, sorry. Somehow I forgot to mention the SE ecosystem which has a dedicated community for Webmasters and the SEO-related questions are split (the programming ones can be asked on SO while the others on the Webmasters community). I have fixed my post.
