Technical SEO vs. content optimization: which one moves rankings?

I’ve been noticing something while working with SEO teams:

A lot of effort goes into content, but technical issues that actually limit performance often get ignored or deprioritized.

In some cases, fixing crawl/indexing/performance issues had a bigger impact than publishing more content.

Curious how others here think about this in practice.

Do you usually prioritize content or technical SEO first?

I always start with technical. It doesn't boost rankings, but it makes ranking possible. If Google can't see your content, nothing else matters. Once the blockers are fixed, then it's a content game.

I have the same question. But I think once you fix the technical aspect of it, the content optimization will come into the picture.
