When I talk about my business with extended family, the first question they ask is, “What is an SEO writer?” Give or take a few expletives.

What is an SEO writer?

A search engine optimization writer is someone that writes online content adhereing to Google’s expert, experienced, authority, and trustworthiness evaluation and integrates strategized keywords throughout the text. This deliberate writing tactic increases the potential of your business to attract website traffic.

How to be an SEO writer

One of my favorite aspects about search engine optimization is that it is accessible to all walks of life. Regardless of your background, age, or job occupation, anyone can learn to optimize their content.

The general thought behind optimization is creating authentic and trustworthy content, but there are some logistics.

On my SEO journey, I began with Yoast, primairly because it was integrated into the backend of WordPress. But sure enough, I participated in their free SEO courses which became part of my business’s foundation.

Once I understood the logitistic requirements, I hit the ground writing. My ultimate goal was to basically integrate the optimization best practices into everything I wrote – so that no matter what I was writing – conciously or unconsciously – the text is ready for Google.
