This is right for Google. Worth noting the equation flips for AI search though. ChatGPT and Perplexity don't care about your crawl budget or Core Web Vitals. They cite based on brand mentions, content depth, and whether authoritative sources reference you. So you can have perfect technical SEO and still be invisible to AI-generated answers, or have a mediocre site technically but get cited because you're the known authority in your niche.
