SEO specialists don't always abide by the same daily routines

Change invites uncertainty, which naturally turns to fear, which inevitably leads to the dreaded, "What do I do now?" crisis. Beginning a new job, for example, can usher in a number of conflicting emotions. Aside from the obvious excitement, nervousness, and anxiety, the emotion that remains unwavered is curiosity. A fellow Internet comrade has recently taken to the world wide web in the hopes of seeking out some new job advice.

Our advice-seeking friend has just started a new job as an SEO/SEA manager at which their responsibilities include deploying an international website among other high-profile tasks. Not surprisingly, this new job title requires a detail-oriented mindset, a keen understanding of search engine optimization, and unfaltering determination so the website can excel. Unfortunately, being tasked with so many daily activities can be overwhelming, which is exactly why this new SEO/SEA manager is honing in on one specific question: what do day-to-day tasks look like in this position?

As is the way of the Internet, the comment section quickly became riddled with juvenile suggestions. Fortunately, there were others who broached the discussion with sincerity and helpful hints. One SEO specialist revealed that after his/her mandatory cup of joe, they would write HTML5, Javascript, and CSS. During some point throughout the day, he/she would check into msn.com, touch base with clients, and wrap up the day with writing content.

While most agreed that this description of daily tasks was spot-on, one SEO expert was baffled by the omission of a major duty. While he/she followed a similar day-to-day schedule, they also mentioned that creating and checking on reports was a vital component of their everyday tasks. An in-house SEO professional also took to the comment section, giving a concise rundown. Their day looks a little something like this: writing presentations, conducting analyses, sitting in on meetings, answering internal requests, spearheading campaigns, creating excel sheets, and monitoring data.

One obvious takeaway from this post is that no two daily routines were created equal - especially for SEO agents. While this new SEO/SEA manger can certainly feed off of the helpful input, it's likely they'll need to adopt a routine all their own.
