Leadership is a tough job, regardless of what industry you are in. With SEO, it is even more unique and challenging. It is a career that is all about on-the-job training and continued learning. There are organizations that can give out certificates, but this isn’t an occupation that a college can prepare you for.
One of the most important keys to the continued success of an SEO team is it’s leadership. Having a person in place that can lead them effectively and help them to continue to grow. Someone who can empathize with their challenges, because of their own experiences, and enough skill and knowledge to develop their skills. Often SEO leaders are left on their own to motivate, teach, and challenge themselves. Ultimately, as a leader they are expected to instill and inspire the same in others.
Would Your Organization Benefit From These Services?
The answers to the following questions may shed some light on this.
- Overall, are you happy with the current performance and trajectory of your SEO program?
- Do you have complete trust in the talent and abilities of your program’s leader?
- Is your SEO leader continuing to develop and evolve professionally?
- Is your leader well respected and trusted by others in leadership and their own team?
- Does your leader speak up when something is wrong, or encourage when something is right?
If there are any “no’s”, it could be a red flag that something needs to change.
Effective Leaders Direct, Equip and Replicate
SEO is a unique channel unlike any other. It requires a special blend of technical skills, marketing knowledge, and leadership abilities that are difficult to find and even harder to develop. My leadership and mentoring services are about equipping and developing those in charge of your SEO program with the skills and knowledge to do their job and then to replicate that in their direct reports. This is critical for the continued success of the team.
Benefit From My Experience
I have experienced building and rebuilding SEO teams from the ground up on many occasions – in both in-house and agency environments. I have experienced coming on board with no program in place, developed the strategy, and built the team around me. I have also joined with a team already in place and helped to mold them into a finely tuned revenue-generating machine. I have also experienced the challenges of merging teams following an acquisition.
When you engage with me in for Leadership and Mentoring services, you are getting a proven leader who will assess the program’s strengths and recommend a plan of action to enable leaders and teams to be high-performing revenue generators.
