Everyone here in Warrior's like "oh you need to improve your SEO" or "here are 5 methods to increase your search rankings".

Well guess what? SEO isn't for everyone. It might not even be the best fit for your business at all. Here's why.

1. You need fast results.
2. You have very limited budget.
3. Your product or service has low demand.
4. Outranking your competitors don't concern you at all.
5. Your market doesn't use search engines.

What do you think?

    #2 on the list doesn't really apply, assuming you take the time and provide the effort to do search engine optimization, yourself. In fact, a very limited budget may be the very reason that you DO need to optimize for search engines, since you really cannot afford to advertise.

    Absolutely, You have highlighted valid points but it also depends on one's business needs and aligning with their strategies.

    I don't really like SEO myself. It causes you to have to police everything and owning a forum, that's impossible and not desirable even if possible. Anyway, getting a social media following gives you more freedom cause, as noted, you don't have to watch everything written as much.

    I've been making money using SEO for more than 10 years, and I see only 2 options why you may not need SEO:
    - you don't want to invest money because you're not sure;
    - you have created a very unique project that will be successful even without external and internal optimization

    Mostly true, but even basic SEO elements like titles, descriptions, good clean code, and loading speed should be standard for any designer or developer. It's good web practice in general.
