Yes, I agree with Simone that seo is part of marketing, we do seo for the purpose of marketing and sales, they’re interactive and can’t be divided from each other.

Hi internet seo,
Thanks for the comment, all of the technical aspects of SEO are just as important as the marketing parts, for sure!

Yeah i agree with this post which is very true there are lot of companies who are promising links etc… But as we can see specially Google is considering lot of elements when it comes to ranking a site. Bounce Rate, Site load speed, Crawl Rate etc… Some SEO companies doesn’t even know about these. They only know some on-page and LINK BUILDING

Yes, SEO has evolved and become less about the technology/algorithms and more about content and overall marketing strategy.

Hi Simon,
You are correct, SEO and Marketing does both do interact with every aspect, PR, web design, copywriting, social media, usability, etc. This proves my point and I would consider you a marketing SEO person (like myself). A technical SEO person might merely look at the webmaster guidelines, but not take the time (or have the skillset) to truly look at and understand all of the components that really have to work well together to build a solid, long term SEO program.

Again, thanks for your insight and input and for being a reader of my blog!

I agree, SEO practitioners need to be aware of and interact with the wider universe. Marketing is more than SEO. SEO is a part of marketing. Of course this depends on what your experience of SEO is. In my experience, SEO interacts with PR, web design, copywriting, social media, usability, PPC, online media, I.T. and sales, with the ultimate goal of delivering the most profitable natural search campaigns in line with the goals of all stakeholders. So I stand by my point.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for reading and your comment.

I actually disagree with you as I have seen SEO people that are too much into the technical part of SEO. In my experience, SEO is 80% marketing and 20% technical, you need both elements to do it well. So you have have a point as well.

You need a solid technical platform to deliver your marketing from. I would suggest that there is no such thing as a ‘Marketing SEO’ or ‘Technical SEO’; There are marketers, and there are SEOs. Much like designers and coders or builders and architects, the two are inexorably linked.

Hi DIY SEO Coach,
Thanks for reading and your comment. It is always amazing to me how many SEO folks truly don’t understand that it comes down to visitors and sales…

Definitely, I am a marketing SEO person. Without traffic there are no sales, without sales there is no business.
