Second guessing the offer for a SEO consultant position due to anxiety

It's not an SEO question per se, but more of working in an agency.

Context: I was let go from a PR agency years ago (my first job after college) due to poor performance (typos, poor attention to detail). It caused me health problems such as anxiety and insomnia, which I had to take medications for.

I managed to find a new job, and eventually moved to a role doing content and did some SEO on the sides. I learned as I went along.

Recently a positon for a SEO consultant opened up by an SEO agency that set up a new office in my area, and I applied for it. I somehow managed to impress the hiring managers enough to offer me the job, but now I am second guessing my offer due to my bad experience in my old agency.

On one hand, this would be a good opportunity to grow my SEO and people skills. Plus, I don't know when such an opportunity will come by again. On the other hand, I don't think my people skills are fantastic (I speak faster than I think), and I'm being held back by my bad experience,and I feel like just staying put.

Can anyone share their thoughts about moving from in house to agency, or how they got past their bad experiences?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
