Is SEO even worth doing as a job?

My question is more so, why would it not be ideal to enter an SEO/digital marketing career path in 2020?

I already have an answer in my head, but from being on this subreddit for some time, I can see the general consensus here is that there is a lot of distaste for SEO amongst people who do it for a living.

This sub-reddit seems to be dominated by experienced people in the industry who don't necessarily always agree with new people coming onto the block.

A lot of the posts and comments carry different strokes, where some things work for some people, people complaining about the algorithm changes, the fundamentals of SEO and how backlinks are the only important thing and content doesn't matter.

It's just a very disheartening place for new people who have an interest in SEO, which leads me to wonder why people do it for work and continue to do it if they're unhappy being in a largely 'thankless' job.

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
