What does an SEO executive do?

An SEO, or search engine optimisation, executive works to get their clients higher in the search results for specific keywords. That involves a variety of activities, including keyword research, keyword optimisation of texts, using the right meta tags, designing an efficient site architecture, and getting backlinks from relevant and high ranking sites.

SEO executive salary

Many SEO executives tend to be SEO consultants and often work for themselves as freelancers or as part of an agency. In the UK the average salary for an SEO executive is between £20,000 to £30,000 per annum, depending on the strength of their experience. Those entering into the search engine optimisation field require both a technical understanding of how search engines work as well as keeping apprised of the latest research on consumer search patterns and search engine algorithm changes. They are often put in a position where they must be able to manage and communicate effectively with clients, and a degree of salesmanship is required both in terms of writing good copy and gaining new business.
