Just finished a second interview for an SEO role and the very first question was related to /LCP/CLS????

I mean, while technical SEO is vital for an effective overrall strategy, the job description clearly states that it’s an on-page/off-page task.

I believe most SEO’s strength lie in on-page and off-page strategies and we usually find and recommend core web vital fixes for developers.

😒 Today’s first half of the interview questions totally caught me off guard.

whatever the role, in SEO, you must check everything when your strategy isn't working.

What were the questions? Was it like how to fix LCP CLS or was it what is the target LCP / CLS score?
