Question and answer: how is the work of the SEO department organized in our company?

Today we will tell you how the work of the SEO department in our company is organized. SEO promotion is an important and profitable service that brings long-term results for clients. After all, a site that has been properly optimized continues to work effectively even after the end of cooperation.

However, search engine algorithms are constantly updated, and the site must adapt regularly to maintain high rankings in search results. Therefore, internal, external and technical optimization should be carried out regularly, and site condition monitoring should be carried out almost around the clock. Our blog has a detailed article about SEO promotion, and here we want to share how our SEO department works.

What is the ideal SEO employee?

The ideal SEO department employee is a person who is ready to constantly develop and grow in his profession, and is also able to go beyond the usual if necessary for professional growth. The work of an SEO specialist requires an analytical mind, perseverance and the ability to concentrate for a long time. Such a person not only analyzes sites, but also tests hypotheses and develops new strategies. All of our SEO analysts are passionate about their work and strive for self-improvement!

Changes are happening rapidly in this area, so it is important to constantly learn to stay up to date with the latest innovations and technologies. Even if you are currently an expert, without regular training your knowledge will quickly become outdated. We are proud that our company employs employees with inquisitive minds who love to learn and develop by exploring the latest approaches and tools in SEO.

How often is training provided?

Training in our company is carried out regularly, once a week. Topics concern current changes in SEO, new products in the field, and we also periodically refresh knowledge on already known issues. It is important to note that training is not just the responsibility of the SEO department. All of our employees, from newcomers to management, are constantly trained and improved, which is consistent with the general philosophy of our company.

In addition, each employee has an individual development plan, which he draws up himself and then clarifies with his manager. Each employee can also use an hour of self-development per week to study new materials, listen to podcasts or read articles. We explore both internal topics and other areas of marketing so that our employees have a broader understanding of the business and are ready for new challenges.

What do we study in training?

We study topics that are of interest not only within the SEO department, but also in related departments. For example, we learn from examples of our own cases, and also study materials from popular SEO portals. This helps not only to deepen knowledge in the field of SEO, but also to broaden the horizons of our specialists. All our employees regularly undergo certification and update their knowledge of Google and other search engine programs.

In addition, the company supports courses, webinars and participation in conferences. We encourage employees to read motivational and business books, as well as books on time management, which helps not only in the professional sphere, but also in personal growth.

How is the work of the department organized?

To manage projects, we use convenient platforms that help plan and track tasks. Each project is allocated a certain number of hours per month, and tasks are divided into stages, which allows you to systematically complete the work and provide reports to clients in a timely manner. Unscheduled tasks occur regularly, but they do not disrupt the main workflow, since special hours are allocated for them. All tasks are agreed upon in advance with the client, and the time that is paid is spent strictly according to plan.

The SEO department works in close cooperation with other departments of the company: sales, accounting and development departments. Managers monitor customer satisfaction, help navigate the services and coordinate the necessary work. Regular reporting also plays an important role in ensuring transparency in all processes.

Three planning meetings are held every week: strategic tasks are discussed on Monday, current results and plans for the rest of the week are discussed on Wednesday, and completed tasks are summed up on Friday. At the end of each working day, employees send progress reports to a general chat to track progress.

We recently introduced a gamification system that promotes healthy competition within the department and between other departments. At the end of the month, the best employees are awarded, who receive additional days off, bonuses or individual lessons with trainers. At the same time, there are “warnings” for those who failed to complete the tasks or made mistakes.

How many experienced specialists are in the department, and how many are beginners?

80% of SEO department employees have more than 5 years of experience in this field. Most of them have been working in the company for a long time, and they can be entrusted with tasks of any complexity. The remaining 20% ​​are beginners with a great desire to learn and achieve high results. They start with simple tasks, gradually gaining experience and taking on more responsible projects under the guidance of more experienced colleagues.

Is there life outside of work?

Corporate events and informal meetings are an important part of team life. We celebrate employees' birthdays, arrange meetings in a cafe, and sometimes go to the gym together. This helps to build strong bonds within the team and create a friendly atmosphere.

Interesting cases from the work of the department

I remember an interesting incident when we were preparing for a New Year's corporate party. We decided to stage a dramatization based on a scene from a famous TV series, where the main character “reincarnates” into a completely different person. This creative approach helped us not only relax, but also have fun, and also served as a kind of training to improve team interaction.

What difficulties do you encounter in your work?

Every profession has its challenges, and SEO work is no exception. An important task is to correctly determine the client’s needs, understand his goals and analyze the target audience. This work starts with the sales department, where it is important to clearly communicate information to the SEO department so that specialists can develop a strategy that meets the needs of the client's business.

Difficulties can also arise during the promotion process, when it is necessary to take into account many factors, including search engine filters and the risks of using untested techniques. However, our approach is to use only high-quality and proven methods, eliminating risks for clients. We always act on the principle of carefully developing a strategy and focusing on results.
