It’s almost a year into being an SEO and this is what I want to share: So, 1 year ago: I, was totally immersed in the SEO world, geeking out over search engine updates, backlink building, keywords, tactics like Skyscraper and the list goes on. I was all about that tech life, thinking I had it all figured out. "But being a walking encyclopedia of SEO terms doesn't exactly make you good at your workplace." Soft skills! That's what was missing from my career recipe and maybe even from yours. Who knew that being able to chat with colleagues over chai and cracking a joke or two was just as important as acing your work game? Not me, that's for sure! ;P And now, although I’m working from home, it's even more obvious. Balancing the serious stuff with a bit of casual chat! That's what can make a difference. So, whether it's in our virtual meetings or Slack convos, let's keep it light, keep it fun, and keep those connections strong. So, to all my fellow enthusiasts out there: Don't make the same mistake I did. Being a tech guru is awesome, but don't forget to sprinkle in some people skills too. It's the secret sauce to rocking it in the corporate world. Polish 'em up and watch your career soar. -‿◦

People made SEO sound more complicated than it "really" is. In the last five years, businesses invested more in SEO than ever, especially after COVID-19; this has given many people an opportunity to start their careers in the SEO industry. But were they really SEOs by heart? Or did they dive into a widespread industry just because it offered the potential to earn good money? Definitely—it was a calling for many people, a passion sparked by the intricacy of Google search algorithm and the thrill of outranking competitors. But for others, I believe, perhaps it's more of a career convenience than a burning desire. For me, it's all about puzzles. I thrive on data analysis and crafting strategies that yield measurable results. It's like cracking a satisfying math problem (yes, I'm that kind of person who likes Maths and gets excited about equations!). Admittedly, SEO wasn't always on my radar, but as I dove deeper, I realized it's where the real puzzles live! 🧩 How about you? What's your SEO story? 😊 #SEO #Passion

Is SEO a thing of the past? 🤔 Absolutely not! However, those sporting SEO in their title might be falling behind. Let me tell you why and how you can avoid this fate. 👇 🚀 The reason some SEO experts are lagging? - Years spent decoding algorithms rather than understanding people. - Time wasted staring at search results rather than delving into the needs and behaviors of those searching. - Obsessing over keywords instead of engaging in real conversations with customers. - Fixating on Google Analytics without actually connecting with website visitors. 🤷♂️ Then, there are those preoccupied with Google's AI search - spoiler: it's not the game-changer they expect. I'll dive deeper into this myth later this week. 🔍 If you're in the SEO game and envisage thriving in the next decade, it's time to shift focus: Step away from the analytics tools. Ignore the echo chamber of industry blogs that hang on every word from Google's John Mueller or the latest fuss about title rewrites. 👥 Start engaging with real people. At the very minimum, immerse yourself in understanding how people use search engines today. 🌟 Transform your approach from algorithm-centric to people-centric, and watch your SEO career flourish!

Scenario Explaining The Situation of Consistent Google Updates📌 People say "SEO is Dead" and move towards more ways to gain traffic consistently. ❌❌But they are not permanent❌❌ Literally SEO is just Dead for those who don't know how to optimize websites for the problem/query solving.

👞'The cobbler's children have no shoes.' As the saying goes. And I have a confession to make. Despite helping many clients get more traffic by improving their SEO I've neglected ours. 🫣 I have no excuse. Except to say, as above, we've been busy helping many clients to get more traffic by improving their SEO. But still... So in March I resolved to put into practice the client framework we use to SEO-a-go. And it's working ✔️ Here's a screengrab from Google Search Console. You'll see a step change as Google notices our work. ➡️ If your website isn't getting noticed on Google drop me a message and we can chat SEO 😊

No one is perfect in SEO and no one ever becomes perfect. Also, perfection doesn’t exist in reality, whether it is your personal or professional life. The same goes for SEO as well. If you think for a while you will realize that SEO is a moving target. Over the years, I’ve faced countless hurdles. I’ve dealt with algorithm updates that felt like they came out of nowhere. But each challenge has taught me something valuable. Every tweak, every A/B test, every new tool I tried; it all added up. (Not only me, but every SEO person relates this at least once in their SEO journey.) What I’ve learned is this: You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep going. The experience, the persistence, and the desire to keep learning. That is what makes you capable. The key and mantra is to surround yourself with smart, experienced people and trust the journey. Each effort, every setback, and even the small wins will contribute to your growth. Keep pushing forward! The results will come. #SEO #Google
