Google will handle purely logical stuff well by algorithmic methods. That may be say 40% of what the Internet population is interested in. Even there they will have problems since spam article writers can fool the algorithms.

For other websites, where the other brains (heart, gut) are involved, then you probably need to involve social media in some way and get the people involved. If Google wanted to help, it would certainly know from its analytics that visitors act “irrationally” on certain pages as per what their algorithms are telling them. In those cases, Google might indicate by a quality score for its algorithm that their evaluation is weak. However that’s probably too much truth for Google to reveal.

I find it amazing how much goes into making sure I get relevant sites when I am searching for something on Google. I think there may be a plateau at some point where Google just cannot get any better.
