Should we allow SEO related questions?
- We have recently received a [search engine optimization (SEO) question](https://software.codidact.com/posts/287914).
Our [scope](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic)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.
