Yet, SEO skills are not taught at universities. Young professionals often have no clue what is needed to kickstart a career in SEO and gain relevant experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The majority start in marketing and later transition to SEO. This is how I became an SEO specialist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about the peculiarities of working in SEO and the skills required for SEO professionals to build a search engine optimization career, this article is for you!<\/p>\n<p>As an SEO expert, I share my learnings, experience, and opinions on the following topics:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does an SEO specialist do?<\/li>\n<li>What type of skills do you need to be an SEO pro?<\/li>\n<li>Where and how to learn SEO skills<\/li>\n<li>How to showcase your SEO skills in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/express\/create\/resume\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resume<\/a><\/li>\n<li>How to prove your SEO skills in a job interview<\/li>\n<li>What jobs can you do with SEO skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a pretty long article because I tried to make it insightful, practical, and applicable. I hope you will find it helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not hesitate to leave your comments if something is unclear or you would like me to share more details on a particular topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before we dive deep into learning SEO skills and how to be great on top, let me quickly crush the myth many entry-level marketers still believe in \u2014 \u201cSEO is hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-hard-is-seo\">How hard is SEO?<\/h2>\n<p>As an SEO expert and a content writer, let me share my opinion on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>SEO does seem complicated until you step in and start doing it yourself!<\/p>\n<p>I was clueless about SEO when I got my entry-level SEO job long ago. I had no SEO abilities and did not know how to learn it. In time, I realized the best way to learn SEO and gain valuable SEO skills is to start doing it!<\/p>\n<p>I started learning SEO as an intern, I continued creating SEO-friendly content for a UX agency, and now I have my well-optimized website with high rankings in search results.<\/p>\n<p>SEO is not for everyone. However, if you are patient, diligent, and on a mission to create impactful results, you have a high chance of succeeding!<\/p>\n<p>Google offers an incredibly insightful <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">guide<\/a> for learning beginner and advanced SEO I recommend you to look at it.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t waste lots of money on SEO courses that repeat the same information. Instead, learn from the primary source \u2014\u00a0 learn from Google.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-does-an-seo-specialist-do\">What does an SEO specialist do?<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve been working in the online marketing field for over 5 years. Despite being called \u201ca digital marketing specialist,\u201d I\u2019ve always dealt with SEO in its different kinds.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to pursue a career in SEO, your high-level goals might be the following:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>1. Help businesses attract the target audience from organic search results.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>As an SEO expert, you\u2019ll have to use your SEO analyst skills and SEO writing skills to conduct keyword research and create optimized content.<\/p>\n<p>If you do your job well, Google will notice your content and boost its search visibility. The more optimized content you create, the more traffic you can potentially attract to your client\u2019s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SEO is not rocket science. However, you\u2019ll have to possess particular experience and SEO marketing skills to help businesses stand out in organic search.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Optimization has been a great tool for marketing, especially for\u00a0<a title=\"digital marketing agencies to scale their businesses\" href=\"https:\/\/sevenfigureagency.com\/how-to-scale-digital-a-marketing-agency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital marketing agencies, to scale their businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>2. Help conduct an SEO audit<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>SEO experts are not always involved at an early stage of website growth. Many website owners believe they can manage their websites on their own. However, they often waste their time and resources without seeing any impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you do not know why your website does not grow and how to improve its performance, you need an SEO audit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SEO experts utilize various <a href=\"https:\/\/selfmademillennials.com\/content-writing-tools-for-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEO tools<\/a> to discover poorly performing pages, 404 pages, broken links, and desktop and mobile usability issues.<\/p>\n<p>After conducting an in-depth SEO audit, they recommend actions to improve your website\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>Based on my experience, an SEO audit is the first thing SEO experts do when jumping on a new project.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>3. Help improve website performance<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Besides creating optimized content, SEO experts deal with websites\u2019 technical aspects, such as loading speed, indexability, appearance in search, mobile user experience, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Some people don\u2019t understand why it falls under SEO specialists\u2019 responsibility since technical SEO skills are required. I can clarify this point for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Imagine, you open a website, but you have to wait for all pages and content to load. As a user, you don\u2019t want to wait. And you should not!<\/p>\n<p>There are millions of other websites which can satisfy your needs.<\/p>\n<p>So, you close that website and navigate to another one that is fast, looks good, and answers your questions. You seem to be happy, and so does Google!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Google has a robust algorithm called RankBrain that analyzes user behavior, and rewards websites with good usability and fast loading speed. On the other hand, it downgrades unoptimized websites with poor mobile user experience.<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate goal of any SEO professional is to push websites to the top. However, it\u2019s no longer possible without technical optimization. Therefore, optimization experts need to have technical and HTML SEO skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>4. Help acquire valuable backlinks from trustworthy websites<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The number and quality of backlinks are among the ranking factors, according to Google.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Creating optimized content combined with gradual backlink profile growth will inevitably lead to success in the long term. It\u2019s easier to say than do. However, SEO has never been a low-hanging fruit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It takes time to collect website ideas, reach out to website owners, negotiate backlinks placement, and see the impact of link building.<\/p>\n<p>Based on my experience, you need at least six months to see the first impact from your SEO work. However, it might be longer in some competitive niches.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-seo-skills\">What are SEO skills?<\/h2>\n<p>Tim Soulo, Ahrefs marketing CMO, defines the SEO\u00a0 job and skills in the following way:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs an SEO expert, the goal is to provide the best information for Google to identify that you have the best information and show it to users.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My SEO skills definition is the following: <em>A set of soft and hard skills required for a marketer to achieve impactful results in SEO.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Whatever SEO skills definition you prefer, the ultimate meaning will be the same \u2014 you need to develop multiple SEO skills to grow as an expert and help businesses drive their organic growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/semrush.sjv.io\/5bB62o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Semrush<\/a>, a popular marketing tool, analyzed around 4000 SEO vacancies and job offers on Monster, Indeed, and Linkedin to define the following most desirable SEO skills.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the percentage shows the number of mentions of a particular skill in SEO job offers.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Google tools \u2014 47%<\/li>\n<li>HTML, CSS \u2014 45%<\/li>\n<li>Keyword research \u2014 36%<\/li>\n<li>Link building \u2014 34%<\/li>\n<li>Technical SEO \u2014 31%<\/li>\n<li>Java script \u2014 18%<\/li>\n<li>On-page SEO \u2014 15%<\/li>\n<li>Mobile SEO \u2014 11%<\/li>\n<li>Local SEO \u2014 10%<\/li>\n<li>A\/B testing \u2014 8%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even though Semrush research was conducted several years ago, it is still a solid study to rely on when developing new skills for SEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As an SEO expert, I created my list of skills for SEO specialists you will need this year and beyond to kick off an SEO career.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-skills-do-you-need-for-seo\">What skills do you need for SEO<\/h2>\n<p>My top 10 digital marketing SEO skills list is based on over 5 years of professional experience.

Instead, they apply their research and analytical skills to create customized SEO strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Keyword research is the core of SEO. It\u2019s one of the essential skills needed for SEO and is part of my everyday job. One of my first tasks as a junior marketer was to conduct keyword research for a new website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your website\u2019s traffic, rankings, and overall success highly depend on the keywords you choose to rank for. Therefore, researching, analyzing, and collecting juicy keywords are among the basic SEO required skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let me use my website, <em>selfmademillennials.com<\/em>, as an example of well-done keyword research.<\/p>\n<p>Many bloggers write about SEO. This niche seems saturated at first glance.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the competition, I want to write about SEO writing, and share my experience and marketing tips.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I did intensive <a href=\"https:\/\/selfmademillennials.com\/niche-keyword-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">niche keyword research<\/a> to define low-competition keywords with promising global volumes.<\/p>\n<p>Keyword research applied together with SEO writing skills helped me create well-optimized content that ranks on the second and third Google search result pages without link building.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-being-a-fast-learner\">2. Being a fast-learner<\/h3>\n<p>SEO and marketing, in general, are very dynamic. New tools and strategies appear every day that you should be aware of. If you miss the latest updates, you might be outperformed by someone else.<\/p>\n<p>As a marketer with an SEO background, I must monitor Google updates, review SEO tools, and stay up-to-date with industry trends. It\u2019s challenging but part of the search engine optimization career.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from developing hard SEO skills, you\u2019ll also need to work on soft skills! You must be a fast learner who processes big chunks of SEO-related information, analyzes data, and makes data-driven decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It might seem impossible to track all the latest updates in the SEO industry.

Writing\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Writing seems to be one of the most underestimated skills.<\/p>\n<p>Many people believe there is no need to learn anything to start writing online. As a content writer with over 300 blog posts on Medium and this website, I would agree to some extent only.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s super easy to become a writer nowadays. Anyone can do it using different blogging platforms. However, you should possess storytelling skills and have solid experience in writing to create engaging content.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I spent several years learning SEO and developing my writing skills before realizing that <em>content writing and SEO skills create<\/em><em>\u00a0outstanding results!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Today, I offer <a href=\"https:\/\/selfmademillennials.com\/seo-blog-writing-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEO blog writing services<\/a> to companies worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Every business owner wants to have impactful content on their websites. Therefore, they collaborate with the writer teams and SEO experts. Imagine you can do both! You have the experience and the skills needed to be an SEO writer!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SEO experts with copywriting SEO skills cost more and are pretty hard to find.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are at the beginning of your SEO career, start developing your writing skills. How?<\/p>\n<p>Practice writing roughly 500 words on a random topic <em>daily!<\/em> Yes, daily! It does not matter how good or bad your writing will seem to you. The most important is the writer\u2019s mindset you\u2019ll be developing along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SEO content writing skills will help you become a valuable expert on the market!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-being-patient-and-flexible\">4. Being patient and flexible<\/h3>\n<p>SEO is not a sprint. It\u2019s a marathon!<\/p>\n<p>Those eager to grow websites using white-hat strategies and create helpful content will be rewarded with users\u2019 attention and Google\u2019s mercy.<\/p>\n<p>As a marketer, I worked on several websites that grew from zero to hero in a few years. Success did not happen overnight. Other specialists and I worked hard to make it happen!<\/p>\n<p>SEO experts have the <em>patience<\/em> to wait for results because at least six months are needed to see the first positive (or negative) shifts. They are also <em>flexible<\/em> to change their SEO strategy if something goes wrong or does not perform as it should.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-ux-basics\">5. UX basics<\/h3>\n<p>In May 2020, Google introduced a new page experience update called <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/9205520?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Core Web Vitals<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later, Google confirmed that on-page user experience, website loading speed, responsiveness, and visual appearance are now part of the ranking signals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even if your website has helpful content, but for some reason, users leave it (high bounce rate), Google will notice it and take some action. A website will likely lose its rankings until the owners investigate the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, the user interface design is not appealing, content is barely readable on mobile, or too many banners make users leave.<\/p>\n<p>There might be lots of reasons. If you feel something is off on your website, user experience research and testing can help you discover the reasons for poor website usability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I am convinced UX is essential for SEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ten years ago, you could overoptimize content with the target keywords and rank at the top of search results.<\/p>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s no longer the case! \u00a0Google and many other search engines assess user behavior to display the most relevant search results in the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>As an SEO expert, you should create optimized, readable content that makes sense and looks good. Too many ads might harm user behavior and signal Google about spam.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the plain design might indicate that the website is untrustworthy and its owners don\u2019t take it seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Many SEO experts keep search engine bots in mind while creating optimized content. This tactic has been around for years. However, ranking algorithms constantly change, and so should your SEO strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you create SEO-friendly content, think if <em>you<\/em> enjoy reading it yourself. Is it well-structured and easy to read? Is it insightful and adds value to users?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Search engines heavily rely on UX to make judgments on websites\u2019 rankings. Therefore, UX basics are among the good skills to have for SEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are determined to learn the basics of UX skills for SEO, I recommend you start with the following course by Google:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/grow.google\/certificates\/ux-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Google UX design certificate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"6-html-and-css-basics\">6.
