Is SEO a Good Career?
Every month someone would say: “SEO is dead”. And some people even believe it 🤷♀️
In reality, today SEO is more alive than ever, and the evolution of search engines will not change it.
Here’s what John Mueller from Google has to say about it:
All the changes in search engines and evolution of this sphere lead to:
- Smarter SEOs are winning
- More demand for good SEOs
- Higher salaries in the SEO industry
I recently came across this SEO Salary Report for 2021 on Search Engine Journal that shows the stats for the US.
And here’s what caught my attention:
”The majority of those who work in SEO earn at least the same or well over the median U.S. earnings.”

So if you’ve already decided to take on SEO as the main career, here’s good news: you’ll be in demand and you’ll make a good salary.
Just think about it! The salaries in the SEO industry are very competitive. And from what you can see online, the demand for good SEO professionals is growing fast.
But what does it take to be a good SEO specialist?
Obviously, the demand for GOOD SEOs is high.
But what distinguishes a good SEO from all others who just claim they know SEO?
Let’s talk about it.
First of all, there are certain skills that a good SEO should possess:
- Keyword research
- Technical SEO
- Mobile SEO
- Basic HTML knowledge
- Tools such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Screaming Frog, etc.
The full list of the core SEO Skills is quite long but the above ones are the most important.
And there’s also something else.
A good SEO knows when to ACT.
They don’t just sit and wait for things to happen to them. They create their own reality.
- If they need to understand something, they investigate
- If they want to fill in the gaps in their knowledge, they learn
- If they need to achieve a goal, they find a way
That’s what I’ve seen in the best SEO minds I talked to. And that’s what helped me make my career successful.
Act. Don’t just wait.
