SEO Specialist
The search engine optimisation (SEO) specialist is one of those jobs that has become crucial for every business that uses the internet to win customers. Whether you hire an SEO consultancy or have an in-house SEO executive will largely depend on how big your company is and how dependent it is on online visibility, but an increasing number of businesses large and small are taking on a full-time specialist.
Essentially, the SEO specialist is someone who ensures that an organisation appears higher up on the search rankings when potential customers search for terms related to their business. SEO has become a minimum requirement for any online business, as neglecting it can quickly allow smaller businesses, even brand new ones, to overtake established companies in search rankings. And with the first page of search engine results pages still being statistically more lucrative than even the second page, SEO needs to be much better than minimum standard.
The skills required
SEO specialist jobs require a deep understanding of what optimisation means today, as yesterday’s SEO practices can be at best ineffective, and at worst can lead to forced de-ranking by the search engines when they break their rules. SEOs need to tread that careful path between following good practices and pushing the envelope just a little to get results without overdoing it.
There’s a whole wealth of tools at the disposal of the SEO professional, from Google Analytics to the dozens of proprietary software solutions that analyse competitor performance, keywords, site speed and all other elements of SEO. The more you have expertise in, the better.
SEO Specialist Jobs in Bournemouth
Bournemouth is well known as a beach holiday resort on the South Coast in Dorset, a rival to Brighton and Weymouth. It is, however, a thriving town with a large population, despite only having a relatively short history. One distinction it can claim is that in surveys it has been found to be the happiest place to live in Britain, and the relaxed lifestyle has led many companies to set up shop in the town or have their headquarters there.
With the population and the endless supply of goods required for the tourism industry, there will be SEO Specialist positions in and around Bournemouth – this definitely isn’t the kind of resort that closes between September and March.
Most of the companies that have set up in Bournemouth are in the service sector, but the list is impressive. JPMorgan Chase, Unisys, Fitness First, Liverpool Victoria, Palmair, Imagine Publishing, PruHealth and Lloyds TSB Insurance all have head offices or large offices in this seaside town. It’s also well known as a venue for conferences, including those of the large political parties.
