If you are in the business of doing SEO, what is an appropriate job title for you? I'm sure many of you have grappled with that question, similar to a member at the HighRankings Forums.
Tough question, really. I've seen people spend a ridiculously long time explaining what they do.
thanks for asking about something I've struggled with. I call myself a SEO consultant, but than I end up having to explain myself to the general population. You call yourself a plumber or a realtor and people know what you do. You say you do SEO or SEM and they get a blank look on their face.
Some people try to say that they work in "Marketing." Others, like administrator Jill Whalen, use a more specific and to-the-point title:
o the general population (like what I tell people I meet at a wedding) I just say that "I help businesses get their websites found in Google."To businesses, however, I'm pretty much an SEO Consultant or Search Marketer.
Another good one is a business card with the following text:
WEB OPTIMIZATION The art and science of producing targeted website traffic and converting that traffic into sales.
What do you use?
