When Is It Time to Change Your SEO Strategy?

It means the page is not fitting the search results.

In order to rank, page must offer something other top 20 search results do not.
That's a cool way to think. I will apply it to my website by looking at top websites.

I basically get frustrated when my website does not rank. And always blame Google :)
 
I'd check Search Console first: impressions, indexing, keyword positions and whether competitors are improving. If there's no progress after 3–6 months, it's worth reviewing content quality, search intent and backlinks before changing the whole strategy.
Checking those metrics first helps you understand what's holding the page back before making bigger changes.

It's partially us and partially them.

From their perspective, if a page does not offer anything new, why rank it honestly?
 
There will be times when you need to adjust your SEO strategy—for instance, when Google rolls out major algorithm updates, when user search behaviors and trends shift, or when your competitors pull significantly ahead of you.
SEO is always changing, so keeping an eye on algorithm updates, search trends, and competitors is important. Sometimes adapting early makes a big difference.
 
Give it 3 or 4 months, then check search intent first, most stuck pages are answering the wrong question, not targeting the wrong keyword.
 
Rethink your seo strategy when you stop seeing progress despite consistent efforts. Some times strategy is not completely wrong its just need adjustment based on your current data.
 
My rule of thumb now is to change one thing at a time instead of rebuilding the whole page. Last time I rewrote everything at once I had no idea which part actually helped, or hurt. These days I give it around three months, then fix the weakest bit first, usually the title or the internal links, and watch it for a few more weeks before touching anything else.
