Most advances on SEO are being done with research on the mind, not the search engines. Understanding how consumers (presumably) use words to make a picture of their world will get you further as a strategist than technical knowledge.

Google’s search engine is a meaning engine now. Getting versed on how to use content to rank is the most in-demand SEO skill.

Great advice referring to Moz - they have so many tutorials and videos and articles that are relevant to getting you off the ground starting in SEO. BrightEdge is another great tool, although most companies pay for this platform for reporting purposes they also offer free instructional content - webinars, articles, etc. that are extremely helpful. It is easier than it seems once you get the hang of it. Good luck!

Lol 😂

Do you mean CEO?

Having an understanding of HTML will help and understand how people (i.e. your consumers) think and therefore search. Wish you the best 👍

Perform keyword research and understand your consumer’s search intent

Pick a niche and start your own website. That's the best way to learn without the ruining of someone else's business.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?
