Ever Try Explaining SEO to Someone Who Has Never Heard of it?

Posted by Administrator on Oct 25, 2011 in General, SEO | Comments Off

I have worked in the SEO industry for 7 years this coming February. To this day there is not a soul I try to explain my job description to that gets it right away. If I told you I was a brick layer, you would know I laid bricks. If I told you I work at Dunkin Donuts, behind the counter you may ask for a deal if you were close enough. Point is that working in SEO is not the easiest to get across to people.

What is SEO stand for? Search Engine Optimization.

• Oh, you work on Google or Yahoo?
• No, we try to help company websites get some love from the search engines like Yahoo, Google and others. When you search for safety glasses we are looking to have our client that sells safety glasses be at the top of the list you initially see when searching on Yahoo, Google or Bing. There are the sponsored ads/listings you see and then there are the natural listings below those.

I had someone swear he knew what Search Engine Optimization was. He totally spaced out on “Search Engine” and swore I optimized networks and different types of databases. At some point I agreed all the way and got out of there.

Some may read this and think, “What kind of people is he dealing with?” Unless you have something scripted and ready for the Average Joe most just don’t get it.

I will say,

Have you ever used Google or Yahoo to search for something using their search bar?

Most say “Yes” and I ask them about the list they see after submitting their search. I mention how we try and get our clients to the top of the list you see so that hopefully you click on their website before the competition. When they ask about what exactly I do I change the conversation and move along.

If you work in the industry and explained SEO perfect enough the 1st time they had no questions for you, you are the best. I would say that they got bored and wanted to get out of there but who am I to judge. Get in touch with me if you have your own version of events maybe at a bar trying to explain SEO to somebody.

For those wondering… I handle link popularity duties for dozens of websites in various industries. I am also webmaster, and developer for countless SEO client websites. I develop blogs, set up all major shopping cart, ecommerce, CMS and blog platforms. The list goes on. You know how it is.

Being I am in the industry I have this website and a few others For the Little Guy. Money is tight for many. Links still play a major role in the way websites are listed. (my opinion) Why not get some good links from websites optimized to help, not hinder your placement. Explaining SEO to just anybody is not the coolest. Helping webmasters and website owners attain quality links for useful keywords is.

Thanks for reading.
