#1:Just because something is human-written doesn't make it helpful & good content.

In case you need a friendly reminder from John Mueller about helpful content, here it is. "Just because something is human-written doesn't make it helpful & good content.

#2: Google: You'd Be Lucky To End Up In The Same Place After Changing URLs

John Mueller said when it comes to changing URLs, "if you're lucky, it'll end up in the same place." Meaning, if you do everything right and Google does everything right, which is rare to have both align, then you'd be lucky to have the new URL rank in the same position as the old URL in Google Search.
