SEO-Salaries-Worldwide-How-SEOs-are-Bid-Over-the-World
2008-05-23 14:03:28
I had come across studying a very interesting post on seomoz.org,
which i am going to copy paste here at my blog for my valued readers...
The purpose of doing such a head ache is only to educate SEOs in
Karachi who bid themselves around 10,000 to 50,000 Rs. SEO's salary
or contract is basically based only on SEO's demand. SEOs are earning
huge money around the world (unfortunately not yet in Karachi, Pakistan).
Even in India, SEO is one of the highly paid job. SEOs talk about
going abroad to make the best of their career.
So, the guys living in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Hyderabad,
Pakistan can have a good chance making their career bright especially
in USA, Dubai, Singapore, UK Etc. So here it is, do read it and
don't be wondered :) This article has been copied from www.seomoz.org
from Rand Fishkin: "
This is going to be a tough and contentious issue and one that
isn't easy for me to write about. Along with the obvious internal
conflicts of interest in disclosing salary numbers, there's bound
to be a lot of companies and individuals who will come away feeling
that my numbers are wrong (or that their employers are cheating
them). That said, it's a topic that needs to be addressed and if
my experience can help (and inspire others to open up with their
own data), then the accomplishment is well worthwhile. What I'll
do is simply list the job titles that are common to the SEO world,
the salaries I'm familiar with and the effects of geography, experience
and demand on the numbers. All salaries are per annum. In-House
SEOs Some of these are bound to be rough approximations, as there
isn't industry standardization. Hopefully, the descriptions of duties
will help identify who in your organization might fit these roles.
• VP/Director of Search Marketing $100,000
- $350,000+ This individual is ultimately responsible for setting
direction and strategies for large companies with earnings from
$25MM-$1Bil+. Since this position can create or lose incredible
amounts of wealth for a firm, the salaries will often reflect executive-level
compensation (just ask Joe Morin, who turned an offer on the high
edge of my range).
• Director/Manager of Organic Search $75,000
- $150,000 This person is responsible for managing a team of SEO
personnel in-house and reports to the senior marketing or SEO VP/Director.
• SEO Guru $75,000 - $200,000 The "guru"
is typically running an SEO team (or possibly operating as an independent)
for a small-mid-size firm earning $5-$50MM. They have final authority
and responsibility for all of the SEO activities at a company, and
for many of those firms who rely on the Internet as a primary sales
channel, their decision are make or break propositions.
• Campaign Manager $55,00 - $100,000 The
campaign manager would report to a director, but manages a team
focused on specific campaigns for a site, keyword set, content area,
etc. The compensation could go into six figures primarily due to
bonuses, which are often given to campaign mangers who can churn
out consistently excellent results.
• SEO Specialist (Links, Content and/or
KW Research) $40,000 - $80,000 An SEO specialist is the true "worker"
of the search team - optimizing page content, researching keywords,
building links, adding content, etc. The range is very wide due
to experience and opportunity - an SEO-newbie just starting out
won't have the same independence, reliability and skill as someone
who's played in the space for several years and knows the engines.
SEO Agency Employees I have a slightly better grasp
on these, but again, individual companies are bound to fluctuate.
• SEO Director $50,000 - $100,000 The SEO
director leads up the SEO team (sometimes several teams), providing
strategy, overseeing processes, providing training and occassionally
getting their hands down and dirty in the SERPs. If SEOmoz were
bigger, someone like Rebecca would be my director, watching over
the bulk of the work for clients.
• Search Marketing Consultant $60,000 -
$200,000 A search consultant is a rare breed - these folks work
for an SEO agency, but are basically consultants in their own rights.
They have the skills, talent and sometimes, reputation to manage
a campaign or client independently without outside guidance (they
may even be more knowledgable than anyone else on the team). Some
marketing agencies have brought folks like this into their fold
and its a position I've been offered many times. For those who remember,
a good real life example might be when Todd Malicoat (Stuntdubl)
worked with Jim Boykin's group (WeBuildPages), though I'm certainly
not suggesting that Jim or Todd is smarter/better than the other.
• Link Builder $35,000 - $100,000 The link
builder is, in many ways, a mythical being. At the early stages,
they follow direction and strategy from a manager or CEO, but later
on, if they grow in power and ability, their value can become so
high that its tough to retain them (hence the massive salary range).
A true link ninja is so invaluable as to virtually name their price
- the return on investment makes it worthwhile.
• Content Writer $35,000 - $75,000 A great
content writer is a critical part of an SEO firm, particularly with
the focus on linkbaiting campaigns. Writers, like link builders,
can grow in value over time, but since it requires a much less specialized
knowledge, there is far more supply in the marketplae (hence the
lower salary ceiling).
• SEO Researcher $30,000 - $60,000 Researchers
pursue data for content writers, keywords for campaigns and may
even contribute to link building and/or content building efforts.
Web research is a somewhat easier skill to acquire, though certainly
the best of these folks (someone like Gary Price might fit that
bill) will be found in higher positions in the industry.
• Client Relations Coordinator $35,000 -
$75,000 Often inaccurately dubbed "project managers,"
a client services coordinator is responsible for maintaining an
SEO project's tasks, keeping in communication with clients and keeping
the team and mangers informed of progress. Andy Beal described this
position to me as someone who serves as the "consultant"
for a specific project and though their levels of knowledge may
not be at expert, they can refer back to the team or their higher-ups
for direction in how to answer questions or handle issues.
Factors that can Create Wide Disparity The following items have
the ability to push the ranges above considerably higher or lower.
• Reputation In the insular world of SEO, made smaller by
blogs, forums & industry events, reputation often preceeds you.
Your experiences with a firm, with clients, at conferences, and
on the web can create high demand. As an example, I think many folks
have recognized the blogging genius that is Lisa Barone of Bruce
Clay. If she were to seek work in the SEO field, her compensation
would be considerably higher than an entry level content writer.
The same goes for someone like Cameron Olthius of acsSEO (the only
company more difficult to properly capitalize than SEOmoz), who
I suspect would fetch a considerable sum thanks to his abilities
to design, market and linkbait.
• Geography The salaries above represent what I'd expect
to find in Seattle, WA or another similar cost-of-living city. In
New York, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles or Tokyo, the salaries
should be a good deal higher, while in Tulsa, OK, State College,
PA or Ames, IA, it might be somewhat lower.
• Experience A new recuit, with no SEO experience should
expect to be looking at the lowest ranges of salaries. However,
in SEO, experience ramps up quickly. Just two years of involvement
will give a considerable leg up and the potential to be in the middle
of the pack (if you've been successful). Likewise, those folks who
have 4 or more years of experience with high-level results to show
can comfortably start near the top of the ranges in the right geography.
In SEO, salaries ramp up quickly primarily due to the ability of
experienced SEOs to make considerable sums working independently
as consultants, freelancers or working on their own sites/projects.
• Supply/Demand The dot-com collapse was certainly not a
one-time event, and Web2.0 shows plenty of bubble-like signs. Even
in the interim, there have been small fluctuations (mostly seasonal)
that has made SEO more/less in demand by both agencies and firms.
Where does SEOmoz fit into these equations? It might surprise a
lot of folks to learn that we're in the lower end of my ranges.
While we've got a terrific team, we've hired folks who are completely
fresh to the field, relying on great people who we think can learn
SEO, rather than experienced folks who might not fit well with the
organization. We've also been constrained by budget, as, up until
this summer, SEOmoz was still digging out of red (that followed
us from the crash years). I, myself take home less than several
of my staff and am looking forward to when I can increase the salaries
to be at the levels I'd want for the team. With regards to the salary
data, I'd like to solicit your thoughts as well - do you believe
these numbers to be high, low, or close to what your experiences
have been? p.s. At the end of 2006, I'll be sharing our financial
statements on the site (with some specifics removed), and you'll
be able to see for yourself how we've gone from 3 employees to 9
in just under 12 months. Numbers like "total earnings"
and "total expenses" will be there, too. Enjoy!
