Hi all,

I've been in marketing for 7 years and it's been primarily paid social analytics and design at a local agency. I want to expand into the world of SEO, but I know its a complex new world for those without experience. Can anyone give me some pointers on where to start and how you got started learning about the basics of SEO? I want to set myself up with a solid base of knowledge from which to grow.

Hi everyone!

Currently in social media marketing but looking to transition to a career in SEO/SEM. Any tips or advice you can give? As well as recommendations for companies I can look into?

I have several years of experience working at an SEO agency and two years of copywriting experience. I also have an MFA in creative writing.

Does anyone have tips on how to find freelance SEO writing projects? I like my job but would like to be able to take on extra projects here and there when I have time.

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks. I have had a string of managers within the past year, it’s starting to get very annoying as each person says method A is wrong and B is right, another manager would have the complete opposite view. Have you had similar experiences when this practice and adjustment begins to interfere with client deliverables.

Hello all! Anyone an SEO at a media/news publisher here? What are the most common technical SEO issues you run into? How did you solve them? I’m likely moving to an SEO role as a publisher soon but all of my experience is in the non-publisher space. Any insights welcome!

The creative team is cutting back my content. I’ve explained to them that this will hurt their SEO, but they don’t seem to care. I'm sure they’ll freak out when they see the lack of organic growth.

I'm a current AC at my agency but looking to switch departments. I'm torn between applying to the SEM specialist role vs the social media specialist role.

How is everyone preparing their clients or employers for Core Web Vitals?

Currently working as an in-house SEO for a big ecommerce company (fortune 500). Currently earning 65K CAD. Contemplating a position for SEO manager on another company, SaaS B2B, very small office (<50people), pay around 80-100K. It's not a startup.

Did anyone made a move like this? From a big company (SEO team has 5+ people) to a very small company? I'm worried about job security and how stressful this new position would be, considering I'll be the only SEO professional there.
