I think it’s possible, it just doesn’t get a lot of attention because the scale is small.

I have friends who run small businesses and just have simple sites and blogs about their customers and they have more business than they can handle. Granted it’s just a living, but it’s almost all traffic through google through organic results.

Interestingly, their competitors frequently have these bullshit, SEO sites that come in below and able their organic results. They come and go but my friend has been around for 10 years.

Customers do mention that they like a “real” site.
