I don't believe these factors affecting rankings either.Since dwell time and bounce rate are rumored to be ranking signals, maybe~ improving the UX might bring some perks.

Could you explain how they would help rankings and not just visibility thanks ?

These basic typography tweaks are just things you should do for your on-page SEO anyway. Why obsess over whether the impact is direct or indirect?

No, they are not help in rankings. They are mainly used to highlight important points and make the content easier and interesting to read.

I still use bold text occasionally but only where it makes sense for the reader. Search engines have become much better at understanding context so I would focus more on content quality, search intent and proper headings than trying to emphasize keywords with formatting.

It does not help with ranking but with readability.

Hey

Do you guys think that making keywords bold or cursive on websites help in rankings now days?

I do not believe that use of bold or italicized text will directly impact ur SEO ranking. Using these tools will certainly improve readabiliity nd make some points stand out to the user. However i would recommend putting more effort into ur content.
