Transcript from: How Much Data do You Need for Predictive SEO?
So you need clean data and you need lots of it. So if you have a website of (let’s say) a hundred thousand pages, it’s probably not going to be enough. If you have a year and a half of data, it’s probably not going to be enough…
Kevin Indig was talking about the seasonality and the fact that it comes back every year. So you actually need several years of data.
Exactly. You can extrapolate seasonality from a single year, but you have to be absolutely certain that that is a perfectly clean year. And the problem at the moment, (we all are familiar with that) has there been a clean year recently? 2020? No, thanks.
