Cutting through SEO myths, one patent at a time.
Why This Channel Exists
Most SEO content is opinions recycled from Twitter. We decided to do something different.
Every claim on this channel is backed by at least one of: a Google patent, official Google documentation, a verified A/B test, or peer-reviewed research.
We're not gurus. We're researchers who happen to do SEO.

I'm @LudovicRrd — I built The SEO Papers because most SEO content sounds confident and cites nothing. Hot takes without patents, docs, or data weren't good enough.
Every week I go to the source: Google patents, Search Central, peer-reviewed papers, and tests you can reproduce. The newsletter and YouTube channel exist to answer one question — what does the evidence actually say?
The same research powers our SEO & GEO agency. If you want the method applied to your site — not just explained — start with a free audit on your domain.
